I have tried to find the problem but I couldn´t do it. :(
I have traced the code through IBC_Date.IMP, TIB_CustomDate and TIB_CustomE=
dit

here are some of my findings
The procedure TIB_CustomEdit.Change is also called twice
TIB_CustomDate.KeyPress is only called once
The call stack looks like this

TIB_CustomEdit.Change
TIB_CustomDate.WndProc(???)
TIB_CustomDate.WndProc(???)
TIB_CustomDate.KeyPress(???)

am I right that TIB_CustomDate.WndProc calls TIB_CustomEdit.Change ?
but I don´t understand the process of the this WndProc procedures and there=
messages
(the Message.Msg numbers are 48401, 45111, ...)
Where can I find information what these messages mean.
Can somebody help me? I am not very familar with these components things.

thanks
Oliver
