How can I enabled the Ctrl+F (Find window) in my app!

[EzLogic]

I have an App in VFP 7.0

I issue a Browse command (for a certain file).. During the browse session, I want the user to be able to press the CTRL+F to popup the Find form and search (just as in the VFP envirement when browsing a file)

Someone please guide me
Thank you in advance! Please let me know if this helped you

That should work. In the click event of a button put:
KEYBOARD '{CTRL+F}' or KEYBOARD '{CTRL+L}'

Well, When I have the Browse window open (and I press Ctrl+F) it disapears..

Also, Anywhere in my app, when I press Ctrl+F, nothing happens... Only in the Development envirmenet this shows.

I don't have anywhere: "On key label ctrl+f do something.."

please help! Please let me know if this helped you

Hi Tekno,

Are you using a custom menu? Does it have the "Find" bar on it somewhere? In my App I inserted the "Copy", "Cut", "Find", etc. bars on my "Utilities" pad since I don't have an edit Pad. These shortcuts are available whenever my users are in an editable environment.

Also, I found that if you close everything in the VFP development environment and press Ctrl+F, nothing happens. Apparently, if there is nothing open within which to search, the function disables itself.
