Canceling key in KeyDown event

Hi

I've written code on the KeyDown event of a TMemo to react when you
press Ctrl-Enter, now how to I cancel the enter, so it doesn't still do
a newline in the memo? I tried Key := 0, but that did nothing, so why
is key declared as VAR in the param.

You might want to try ABORT after you have done your own code. Just
remember only Abort if your Ctrl-Enter key is hit.

This may work I have not tried it so good luck.
