What I'm trying to do at the moment is to have a text box on a form where a user can enter a value that will update a value being used in the cheat table.

I have created a text box and attached an OnKeyPress event to it but I can't figure out what type of syntax I should use to check the key pressed.

My current code is something like this:

onKeyPress returns the character of the given key as a string

you can compare against the enter key using:

Hmm... I've just tried making that key thing work and I still can't get a correct result.

I tried both of those methods but neither of them seemed to do anything.

I'm not sure that key is returned as a string representation of the key pressed because if I do showMessage(key) it pops up a blank message.

I've tried these:

try reassigning the event to the function again

I've tried recreating the event and that didn't help.

Does a simple print test work for you?

I did test it but it could be that it's already fixed on my version

Try converting the sender variable to text

I just tested on the release of 6.1 and there it's working fine as well

hmm, looks like there is a problem when the form is reset from designmode

OK, I just uninstalled my CE6.1, downloaded it again and reinstalled it and now the key event seems to be returning a correct value and all those tests you put in your first post are working.
YAY! Smile

However, the second problem in the above post still exists (although the characters after the text entry are slightly different this time) even though all text entries of 4 or more characters shows correctly.

Is that just my install again...?

it's a bug. The restore to default function does not handle 'special' parameter events properly

fixed in svn
Guess I'll have to speed up 6.2

lol thanks for your quick work to fix it though!

I might download and compile the svn version anyway if it's not out by the time I finish the rest of my code Smile

EDIT: Hmm... I'm still having trouble with that key value not coming out right.
It worked fine when I created a blank form and added the function from scratch with nothing else but when I have gone back to a couple of other tables I had previously saved the same problem occurs when I try to use a similar function.

I'm not sure if it's something wierd in my scripts screwing it up or whether a specific usage of objects/functions/code might trigger the problem...

I've attached my latest copy of this trainer I'm trying to make work (it already has the keypress event in it thats not working) if you feel the urge to look at it Wink

I just tested your ct and it works as designed
The bottom item in the list will print the "success" line in the lua window when enter is pressed (the 2 other edit fields do nothing as they have no event assigned)

Tested on the fixed version of course, the released 6.1 is 100% incapable of handling this properly

I'll wait for the new version Very Happy

Thanks for your help!
