GerdW,
That's a clever idea, to catch the keypresses and toss them into the indicator that way.
It does have some drawbacks: no backspace, for instance. That would have to be caught and handled separately.
Thanks,
Joe Z.

I'm open to reasonable suggestions for alternative implementations.
You may wish to look at lvterm.

Joe,
Well, I can't say for sure if the Key Focus = False is working just because of an added delay. But, I think not... It wouldn't be the first time I've seen, what seems to me to be, collisions when trying to update values or attributes while Key Focus = True.
