I was able to do a rapid prototype with it, and so far it looks like I won't need to reimplement anything. I would recommend it since I was able to do things I thought wouldn't be possible. What I wanted to inquire about though, is that when a key like F1 is pressed into the Vt control, the KeyDown event is fired but the KeyPress event doesn't fire, and the key doesn't get sent through the telnet connection. What I might have to do is to trap those keys in KeyDown and then send out the appropriate byte sequence as if I'm doing a custom key mapping. However I'm not sure if it'd be the same sequence on Vt52 through 320, and I don't feel like figuring out the sequences for all those keys. What do you suggest doing? I would hope the control would translate those keys into the necessary byte sequence for me like it does all the other keys. What is the key code for F1, etc. anyway? Is it a single byte? Does Windows tell me in the EventArgs parameter sent to the KeyDown function?? Thanks, Jonathan
