How to write sentences in Ascii code

I recently got the idea to write a program that changes everything you type into something else. I tried writing it and it didn't work, but I know it can be done. If someone knows how to do this reply please...

Here is my code

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_keypress(keyascii As Integer)
If (keyascii >= 32) And (keyascii <= 126) Then
keyascii = ' what i make it say
End If
End Sub

---

I need to make it work.

Welcome to the forums.

Do you mean something like this?

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If (KeyAscii >= 32) And (KeyAscii <= 126) Then
    MsgBox Chr(72) & Chr(97) & Chr(99) & Chr(107)
End If
End Sub

Edit If you are going to use the Form Keypress event as make sure you have the form's KeyPreview property set to true.

You may generate a random number and set new keyascii:

VB Code:

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
    Randomize
    If (KeyAscii >= 32) And (KeyAscii <= 126) Then
        KeyAscii = Int((126 * Rnd) + 32)
    End If
End Sub

Or better yet use all available characters:

VB Code:

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
    Randomize
    KeyAscii = Int((255 * Rnd) + 1)
End Sub

... or just add or substract a value.

VB Code:

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
    If (KeyAscii >= 32) And (KeyAscii <= 126) Then
        If KeyAscii > 80 Then
            KeyAscii = KeyAscii - 5
        Else
            KeyAscii = KeyAscii + 5
        End If
    End If
End Sub

... or whatever...

Thanks for the help, but I am trying to write a program that changes everything you type (no matter where you type it) it comes out as something I make it say. I want it to do that + set the form to not be visible. But thanks again for the help.

This sounds a little suspect to me. For what purpose do you need to accomplish this goal?

It does doesn't it...

I just want to code a program like that to joke around with my friends and learn how to use KeyPress with sentences in ASCII code rather than one letter.

that is not a joke. do it in your program as a joke. they will know that you are responsible, and laugh if the want.

This also sounds like malicious to me ... Sorry.
