Key Return is detected in a secondary form

[Cristian]

I have a primary form with a MSHierarchical Flexgrid control. when a press the enter key over the MSHierarchical Flexgrid control a secondary form is open.
The problem is that the enter key is detected by the secondary form and change the focus from the active control.
My question is how can i delete the keyboard buffer for the secondary form will not get the enter key ?

Isn't it just a matter of clearing the key before loading the new Form?

Private Sub MSHFlexGrid1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = Asc(vbCr) Then
    KeyAscii = 0
    Form2.Show
End If
End Sub

And just for the heck of it, throw in a DoEvents, in the line prior to the Form2.show

PS If neither of those fixes you, knock up a tiny project that demonstrates your problem, and attach it for one of us to look at.

I'd try that you said but still the same. The solution that i found is to declare a public boolean variable called lLoadForm. Then before show the secondary form i set the value to True and at the secondary form, in the KeyUp control event to check the lLoadForm value.

Like this:

Private Sub TxtAmount_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeyReturn And IsNumeric(TxtAmount.Text) Then
If lLoadForm = True Then
lLoadForm = False
Else
CmdSave.SetFocus
End If
End If
End Sub

Thanks for the help to everyone

Your first post was a bit light on detail.
It sounds like it was a control focus that was causing (or adding to) the problem.
My memory is a bit rusty (and old), so I don't fully recall the precise solution.
However if you add a textbox (or perhaps another control) to your form, and set it's Left property to -999 then it will not be visible.
Say we call it txtTakeFocus.
Set it's Tabstop to True and it's TabIndex to 0.
Now when your Form Loads, the focus can be handled (ignored).
I have resorted to that to solve more complex problems than the one you described.
