Hello Rathi,

May be I am wrong, but how can I toggle Insert/Overwrite mode for a textbox, if SET KEY INSERT ... is defined?

Please check the following small sample.

Code: Select all

#include <hmg.ch>

Function Main
   
   define window main at 0, 0 width 400 height 300 title "Insert key test" main
		
      DEFINE STATUSBAR
			KEYBOARD 
		END STATUSBAR      
      
      define textbox text1
         row 10
         col 10
      end textbox
      
      define label lablel1
         row 50
         col 10
         value "Please try to toggle Insert/Overwrite mode for Textbox"
         autosize .t.
      end label

   end window
           
   ON KEY INSERT OF MAIN ACTION MSGBOX("Insert key pressed!")
   
   Main.Center
   Main.Activate

Return

IMHO, Insert key has a special purpose (which is it's default behavior).
