F1 to F12 Keys

[rpc86]

Hi guys,

How will VB6 know that the user presses F1,F2..F12 keys?

I could not find the Ascii values of these keys.

I need to work with them in Form_KeyPress event.

thank you guys.

They do not have Ascii codes.. you need to use the KeyDown/KeyUp events instead, eg:

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

  If KeyCode = vbKeyF1 Then
    MsgBox "F1"
  End If

End Sub

Don't forget to set the Form's KeyPreview property to True.
