MSa2003 ansi character downkey in a listbox causes a click event after the downkey event

[the.hoarse.whisperer]

Has anyone else noticed this ? It's not documented in the "order of events" for
downkey in the on-screen Help.
Setup a listbox on a blank form.
Type three records in the list with a in the first record, b in the second etc
When you press the "b" key the keydown event is actioned then the click event.


I would be interested to know if it happens in any other versions of Access
I got round the problem by changing the listbox event to dblclick.
Happens under XP and WIN10

Of course it does! Events, like keydown, don't have order of events...Forms have 'order of events,' and they follow in order, hence the term 'order of events!' One event firing doesn't prevent other events from occurring...in order!

When you press and release a key or send a keystroke in the ANSI character set key, the KeyDown, KeyPress, and KeyUp events all occur. If you press and hold down an ANSI key, the KeyDown and KeyPress events alternate repeatedly (KeyDown, KeyPress, KeyDown, KeyPress, and so on) until you release the key; then the KeyUp event occurs. - nothing about a click event occuring
