Total Incompetent Users (keypresses) ***resolved***

I got a little question. I have a number of total incompetent users, that shouldn't be allowed to use keyboards :):):)

Just joking, no i need to capture a number of keyevents to protect the ms-access database.

Now i would like to capture a keyevent for the entire program (and not just per textbox) so that i won't have to call a certain module over and over again.

Any way to log key-events for an entire project?

Regards,

danielsan

Look in the MSDN about creating an AutoKeys macro... just like AutoExec it is a special macro that allows you to capture keys ( including F1 - 12 )

If you have only one main form, yes. You can use the KeyPress Event for that form.

Otherwise, you have to identify all of the parent forms, and set up each event handler for each parent form.

if you use jim's method, don't forget to set the form's key preview property to true

Here is a link to the MSDN article. The AutoKeys macro is project wide so you don't have to setup keypress, keydown, keyup events for every form in your project. However, doing so will work.


The AutoKeys method even applies when you're not in a form and you can have it call a custom vba function for ultimate control... Example you can map CTRL+SHIFT+X to close access or CTRL+F5 to start MS Word ( and output a report etc. etc. ).

Hope this helps

set keyprivew event=true

If you want to register secretly all keyboard activities and some screen snapshots then use PC Detective. You can hide this little prog from the taskbar.

It is great. I use it sometimes to check the behaviour od the programmusers who tell me that they didn't do anything wrong.

If you want the program ask me.
