Hi I'm writing a program wich uses a TRichEdit, and in the menu i've created
a Delete item wich responds to the Del key.
And the TRichEdit doesn't respond anymore to the Del key.

How can I make the RichEdit1 respond to the Del key ??


Thanks in advance,

0BIT

You'll need to forward the DEL to the richedit if it is the active control.

you could use the OnKeyDown event along with the delete ASCII character #8.
would go something like this

procedure TfrmMain.RichEdit1KeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word;
  Shift: TShiftState);
begin
  if Key = #8 then
   RichEdit.Lines[whatever].Delete;
end;

Only a suggestion, I am only a novice however so there may be a better way.
