But... can anybody translate comments etc in this to English (for better understanding and "internationalization")? I think it helps to many guys whose Spanish is "not the best" [like me :) ].
For the translation I use this free website.
http://translate.google.com
Just enter the website address and go.
It is usually good enough. For example, this message was translated from Polish into English completely automatically.

Para la traducción que uso este sitio web gratis.
http://translate.google.com
Sólo tienes que introducir la dirección de Internet y se van.
Por lo general, bastante bueno. Por ejemplo, el mensaje fue traducido del polaco al español de forma totalmente automática.

Hi friend Esgici,

Working with animals is very rewarding, animal nutrition is my true vocation, I have several scientific papers published in national and international journals on ruminant nutrition.
Veterinary medicine has many fields of action.
Animal nutrition is an important field in veterinary medicine, but unfortunately there are very few nutritionists in my country. Most veterinarians are dedicated exclusively to animal diseases.

The programming is just a hobby for me.

Hi Claudio,

I return to this post, to ask a favor, please take a look at code attached (it's based on your example).

Code: Select all

FUNCTION MAIN( )
	LOCAL frmMain
	
	DEFINE WINDOW frmMain ;
		AT 0,0 ;
		WIDTH 400 ;
		HEIGHT 400 ;
		TITLE "Test..." ;
		MAIN 

		If INSTALL_READ_KEYBOARD( ) = .F.
			MsgInfo( "ERROR al instalar READ_KEYBOARD" )
		Endif
		
		_EvalKeyPress( )
			
	END WINDOW

	frmMain.CENTER 
	frmMain.ACTIVATE 
RETURN

PROCEDURE _EvalKeyPress( )
	LOCAL nKeyPress := GET_LAST_VK( )
	
	If ( nKeyPress >= 65 .OR. nKeyPress <= 90 )
		MsgBox( "La tecla oprimida se encuentra en el rango","Test..." )
		// Aqui la idea es activar otra ventana 
	Endif
RETURN
The idea is that when you press the keys 0-9 or a-z or A-Z run, in my case, another window, but in my example is not working well.

Could you please give me some tips to do it right.

I wait your comments please

Thanks

Best Regards
Javier
