Ctrl-Z or Alt-BkSpace not working in a Form

[Iroel Perez]

Hi there,

I inserted my ActiveX control in a VBA Form and everything works fine,
except the shortcuts for Undo (Ctrl-Z and Alt-BkSpace) in my textboxes. Any
clue what can I do?

The ActiveX control is a Delphi ActiveForm. I've redefined the OnKeyDown
event and I could check my Control receives all the keyboard events from the
VBA form, except the Undo events. Weird, eh?

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks,
Iroel

Hi Iroel,

Is the Undo event defined in your ActiveX control? Word's keyboard shortcut
assignments aren't valid in an embedded apps environment. I know "Undo" is
supposed to be "universal" in Windows, but each application has to implement it
in its own way...

Hi Cindy,

How do I define the Undo event for my control?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Iroel,

How do I define the Undo event for my control?

No idea. If you've programmed the control, it's an
additional thing you'd have to program for the control. If
you've obtained the control elsewhere, you'll need to
contact the person who created the control.
