Has anyone found a way to trap the escape key being pressed when using a Show Custom Dialog box. The get(lastmessagechoice) function always returns 1 when escape is pressed, and get(lasterror) always returns 0. Since we need to use the default (rightmost) button to get user input into a field, it seems impossible to find out if the user simply pressed escape ( a perfectly normal behavior in the world of dialog boxes). Several online searches on this website and google has resulted in no satisfactory answer.

Using Filemaker 11 Advanced on Windows XP.

Known behaviour. In WIndows the Escape key activates the default button. Note that in Mac OS X the Escape key does NOTHING.

Pressing escape may be "normal" in the PC world but not in Mac OS X.

Thanks Vaughn. I thought I was going crazy when I found no way around this.
