How do I manually fire Form_KeyPress()

Hello, I would like to call the Keypress event from within another block of code. For example:

Public Sub Test()
Call Form_KeyPress("A")
End Sub

Thanks for any info!!

Actually, as I'm sure you know, you can't. Not like that anyway. What you need to do is create a generic sub that handles both (calls from Form_KeyPress and your other sub). For example:

Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
GenericSub(KeyAscii)
End Sub

Sub AnotherSub()
GenericSub(KeyThatYouWantFired)
End Sub

Sub GenericSub(KeyThatYouWantFired as Integer)
'do whatever you are trying to do here
'such as setting properties or calling
'other subs
End Sub

Yes, you can. But you can't pass the actual letter but rather an ASCII number for that letter:


Call Form_KeyPress(Asc("A"))

Thanks for your help guys!! Unfortunatly neither of those solutions solved my problem. I'm having difficulties with MSComm and this was an attempt to fix them. Please check out my question about MSComm firing.

Thanks!!
