MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Create a form, and place a text box on the form.

2. In the KeyPress event of the text box, enter the word, NODEFAULT.

3. Save the text box as a class.

4. Delete the text box from your form.

5. Place an instance of the text box class on your form. You can do this by

   adding the class library that contains the text box to the Form Control
   toolbar. Next, drop the text box control onto the form.

6. Run the form and note that you are unable to type in the form. This is

   the expected behavior.

7. Edit your form, and add the following line to the KeyPress event of the

   instance of the text box:

      TEXTBOX::KEYPRESS

8. Run your form. Note that you can now type into it, but each letter you

   type is doubled. This is the expected behavior.

9. Edit your form, and from the KeyPress event of your text box, delete the

   code you entered in step 7 (the line TEXTBOX::KEYPRESS).

10. Run your form. Note that now you can type into it even though you

    removed the code you added and returned it to its original status where
    you couldn't type into it.
