Title: Using Enter Key Without Sound (Revised Code)
Question: How to prevent the beep sound generated by windows when using Enter key as Tab on TEdit control.
Answer:
This is a revised code previously presented in the article 'Using Enter Key' at http://www.delphi3000.com/articles/article_1681.asp
The new code is aimed to prevent the beep sound generated by windows when using Enter key on TEdit control,
Note: If you are new to Delphi please note that the first procedure below must entered manually along with its corresponding declaration in the form class.
procedure TForm1.EditKeyPress(Sender: TObject; var Key: Char);
begin
if key = #13 then key := #0;
end;
procedure TForm1.FormKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word;
Shift: TShiftState);
var
ACtrl: TWinControl;
k: TKeyPressEvent;
begin
if key = 13 then
begin
ACtrl := ActiveControl;
if ACtrl is TCustomMemo then exit;
if ACtrl is TEdit then
begin
if assigned(TEdit(ACtrl).onKeyPress) then
k:= TEdit(ACtrl).OnKeyPress;
TEdit(ACtrl).OnKeyPress := EditKeyPress;
end;
repeat
ACtrl:= FindNextControl(ACtrl,true,true,false);
until (ACtrl is TCustomEdit) or
(ACtrl is TCustomComboBox) or
(ACtrl is TCustomListBox) or
(ACtrl is TCustomCheckBox) or
(ACtrl is TRadioButton);
if ACtrl is TEdit then
begin
if assigned(K) then
TEdit(ACtrl).OnKeyPress := K;
end;
ACtrl.SetFocus ;
end;
end;
