Hello,

The TRichViewAction SelectAll has a Shortcut CTRL-A already defined. That

causes the current document to be selected when I press CTRL-A, no matter

if rv has the focus or not.

I wanted to change this, so that CTRL-A only works if the user is actually

"in" the rv, meaning it has the focus.

So I removed the shortcut form rvaSelectAll, and put this code into the KeyDown-Event

of rv:

-  case Key of

-    65, 97: // 'A','a'

-      if Shift = [ssCtrl] then

-        rvaSelectAll.Execute;

-  end;

This works fine now, only selects if rv has the focus, but if the caret is

in a table cell, and I press CTRL-A, I get one of two exceptions:

- Access Violation...

- Privileged Instruction

Is what I am doing wrong? If so, is there another way to limit the shortcuts

to the focused control?

Thanks for any help!
