Hi,
When I'm running my Application in the IDE it gets back to the IDE and shows
the CPU-Window when I'm entering a minus-sign('-') in one of my several
TEdits. Why? How to prevent? Thanks!

have breakpoints and at certain times (not always when I'm printing)
the CPU wanders into the HP driver code and hits the breakpoint.
What version of Builder are you using? IIRC BCB3 had an annoying habit
of bringing the CPU window up when an AV occurred. In that case you can
hit Ctrl+V or right click the execution pain and select 'View Source'.
Of course if it's the hardcode breakpoint issue then you won't have the
source and all you can do is continue running.

currently registered de{*word*81} at the current instruction. There are
several CPU instructions which cause the CPU to break off and do other
things (they are used for entering Kernel mode and other low level
stuff that). I don't know offhand if one of them specifically means
"activate the de{*word*81}" but I think it does.
Assuming the Builder IDE is the registered de{*word*81} it will stop
execution, bring the CPU window up and wait just as if it had hit one
of your breakpoints but without the normal breakpoint set highlighting.
If you press [F9] then execution will continue as it would for one of
your own breakpoints.
As I noted in my other reply some vendors leave these instructions in
place. Normally they don't cause a problem because people aren't
normally running a de{*word*81} but I think that by having the de{*word*81}
running you are activating this feature.

being typed? For example, checking that the user is typing only numbers.
If you were using something like StrToInt() in the TEDit's OnChange event,
it would throw an exception since "-" is not a valid number.

either. It seems odd that pressing '-' would trigger a hardcoded
breakpoint so I only floated the suggestion as a possibility.
Where does the call stack indicate that you are when the program stops?
What are the module names of the last few functions on the stack?

ide, if I start just the compiled *.exe, I don't get the 'error'.

only cause a break if a de{*word*81} has registered an interest in that
executable. This would be a logical feature for Microsoft/Intel to have
implemented as it allows code to be shipped with breakpoints without
fear of the EXE stopping.
