TEdit error beep on key Enter

I need to use a TEdit as an input box which takes action (sends text
somewhere) when the user presses ENTER, but in Delphi5 this produces
an awfull error beep, which is very irritating. I don't it behaved
like this in Delphi4. Is there a way to do this? I could use a memo,
but prefer not to. Thanks.

Similar use works OK for me, do you have more info?

Re:TEdit error beep on key Enter

hmm, I moved my code from Delphi4 pro to 5 pro a few months ago. I
use a TEdit to send messages through a server-client connection. Since
people are typing, I use ENTER to send the text, so they don't need to
stop typing to press a 'send' button. Previously, this action did not
cause a beep (as far as I remember) but now it does. I have tried it
on a new form, new TEdit, same result. I would like to get rid of
this beep. I could change the TEdit for a TMemo, but that seems
overkill. Any tips for how to kill the beep (other than in the
windows preferences) are very welcome. I have Windows 2000, the code
should also run on 95/98/NT4.

Alex.

Re:TEdit error beep on key Enter

I'm not sure if my experience can be of any help here, but I wonder:
If you concentrate upon using TEdit just to enter the information into
some local string variable and forget everything about sending over a
network. Does it still beep? (This is the way I use my TEdit boxes,
further use of the data from them - including type casting - is handled
separatly).

If it does then I'm puzzled, but if not then I believe you are looking at
the wrong place because then the beep is associated with your network
function and not with the TEdit.

That's all I can imagine for the moment - good luck
regards Sven

Its got nothing to do with networking, even on a new project, new
form, new TEdit it beeps when hitting ENTER, with contents in .Text or
without, with OnKeyPress/Down/Up handler or without. Could this be a
win2000 "feature"?
