[Really, try it, it works.] its even documented in (2.X) /NextLibrary/Documentation/NextDev/NextStep/Reference/02_Classes/AppKit/Panel.rtf - keyDown:(NXEvent *)theEvent Translates the key-down event into a commandKey: message for the Panel, thus interpreting the event as a potential keyboard alternative. If the Panel has a button that displays the Return symbol and the key-down event is for the Return key, it will operate the button. A Panel can receive keyDown: event messages only when it's the key window and none of its Views is the first responder. -- --------------------------------------------------- Alex Blakemore alex@cs.umd.edu NeXT mail accepted
