KeyDown (left-right arrow) in Event Handlers not works when focus is in a textfield

Hi,
i’ve this code:

SELECT CASE ASCB(key) case 28 msgbox "left arrow" case 29 msgbox "right arrow" case else return false end select

Works like a charm when focus is not in a textfield … while when i’m in a textfield the event handlers is not detect, any workaround to fix it ?

and for the textfield you have this code in the keydown event?

So you do not want to be able to use the arrow keys in the TextField ?
(I am able to NEED to use the Arrow Keys in TextField)

Else, change your design and use the Command key with the Arrow Keys…

Look in the docs for Keyboard.
