Arrow/TAB not working in tables

Sergey,

This is an odd question ... my apologies.

I compiled my entire application as an ActiveX control. TRichViewEdit generally works fine. The arrow and TAB keys work as expected in a plain document.

When the cursor is within a table, the arrow keys treat the table as a single object, and pressing the right arrow key, for example, moves the cursor to the right of the table, not the next character in the cell or the next cell if there are no more characters.

If TRichViewEdit is part of a modal dialog there is no problem.

Do I need to intercept the key and call a method in the top level editor to carry out the key stroke? Is there a way of doing this?

Sorry, I cannot answer to this question right now. I'll answer it after 2 weeks, when I return.

Sergey,

Just a reminder about this incident. If you need more information or a sample application, I will try to put one together. Preferably, I would be happy with just a few things I could try in code to make this work manually.

Note that I will be out of the office from 4/16 to 4/29.

I created an ActiveX, and I can confirm the problem. Unfortunately, it's difficult to debug ActiveX, so it may take some time.

I can attest to that -- debugging ActiveX is more difficult. If possible, it would be helpful to have an answer by early May. Thank you.

Sergey,

Have you had a chance to investigate this?
