= and - key codes ? (GetASyncKeyState)

[silentus]

Hi !
I have a problem here
I am making a program with hotkeys, and i need to use those two keys: = and - (those two near Backspace, not on numeric keyboard)
Those two keys are used as + and -, but i kinda cant find out its key code.When i capture it in KeyPress event, it just shows "=" and "-" not the actual Keys.Key value
At start i thought its Add and Subtract, but those are those keys on numeric keyboard, and not everyone has it.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I cannot find one here, but I can find on ein the ASCII table here. You can also use the CChar("=") or CChar("-")

        If e.KeyChar = CChar("=") Then
            MessageBox.Show("=")
        ElseIf e.KeyChar = CChar("-") Then
            MessageBox.Show("-")
        End If

Not only will that work with the subtract button next to the backspace, but it works on the numeric keypad as well.

You should use KeyDown for hotkeys not KeyPress. Many keys do not trigger a keypress event at all. The two keys are KeyCode.Oemplus and KeyCode.OemMinus.

Ahh, those are the key codes! Oh course you'd know them ;]
