How to add a Key_Press event to an user control

I created a user control that consists of a txt box and a drop down
to use it as my warehouse list, the user can either enter a code in the txtbox
(example: "04") and the drop down will display the desc of the warehouse for that code, and viceversa, now I want to add a Key_Press event..how do I do
that??? :confused:

y don't u use ActiveX Control Interface Wizard? that makes it a lot easier..
in case you dont want to.. then you have to follow the following steps

1. Create a Public Event with same signature as that of Text box KeyPress

VB Code:

Public Event KeyPress (ByRef KeyAscii As Integer)

2.
then code in Text1_KeyPress as follows

VB Code:

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(ByRef KeyAscii As Integer)
  RaiseEvent KeyPress (KeyAscii)
End Sub
