Re: Editfield troubles (The plot thickens)

[Dave <mrtoast at gmail dot com>]

Thanks to a suggestion from Mel Patrick (http://www.wabbitwanch.com/),
I was able to fashion a work-around:

 - I created a window of type 0 and in the open event, set it some
some crazy negative coords, so it was off screen.
 - Then I captured all the keydown events (under certain conditions)
and relayed them directly to the KeyDown event of the searchfield (I
subclassed the editfield and added a method from which I could call
the KeyDown event from anywhere)
 - Everywhere I normally would say "searchfield.setfocus" I now say
"wndCapturer.setfocus"

This bypasses the mischeivous KeyDown events of global floaters, and
works wonderfully.

Thanks Mel!

Dave
