This is a problem I've been battling for over a year. Keydowns in my canvas
classes work fine in Mac, but just beep in Win32. I've looked everywhere for
the culprit, and can't find it. (Though I must admit, with the advent of
RB4.5 it's not as bad, since now my win32 apps just explode on launch so I
never see the problem anymore :-).

I hope it can be established somehow whether this is a bug or a coding
problem. Seeing that several people are having this trouble, maybe I've been
wasting my time trying to track this down.

Best,

I have been telling RS that this is a problem for a LOOOOOOOOONG time now
and have now reached a point where noboby at RS bothers to answer my mails
anymore.
