Keydown problem

[Inhumanoid]

What's wrong with this code ??
When the user presses shift and "+" or shift and "-" then I want something to happen.



Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)

If KeyCode = vbKeyF11 Then Call sscmdMenu_Click
If (Shift And vbShiftMask) > 0 Then
If KeyCode = vbKeyAdd Then
'Do something
End If
If KeyCode = vbKeySubtract Then
'Do something
End If
End If

End Sub

I usually use the built in constants like you do, but in this case I don't know what they are. However if you change vbkeyadd to 187 and vbKeySubtract to 109 it will work.

Easy way to find the key constant is to add this to your code.

debug.print (insert constant here)

This will print the constant value to the Immediate window.

MartinLiss, where did you find the dec's 187 and 109 ??
I want to know if there is a list in msdn or something ...

Cause 109 does'not seem to work...

B.T.W. that was pretty usefull information there, Blackthorne.. Anyways I could to the oposite of that (give a dec and get the constant) ??

I did what Blackthorne suggested and put Debug.Print KeyCode in the KeyDown event. 109 is what you get when you press the "-" key on the numeric key-pad. I thought that is the minus key you meant as opposed to the one on the main keyboard, because you said you wanted to trap Shift plus "-". On the main keyboard that's "_", not "-".
