Pascal

 run\JvEnterTab.pas
 TJvEnterAsTab = class(TJvComponent);


Description

  1. JVCLInfo

Use a TJvEnterAsTab component when you need to redirect Enter keys to Tab keys. Many DOS programs use Enter to move between the entry fields in the "form". Windows programs use the Tab character instead but many users still prefer using the Enter key. Especially when working with the numeric keypad, using Enter as Tab speeds up data entry manifold.

Notes

TJvEnterAsTab is actually a visual component (derived from TGraphicControl) but it behaves as a TComponent both at design as well as runtime. The reason for this is that by inheriting from a visual control, there is no need to create a hidden window to receive the key presses since this functionality is already built into visual controls.
