[RESOLVED] ASCII Table needed

If anyone has an ASCII table (or a link) for keypresses for use in VB6 I would much appreciate it if you could post a link/copy.

Thanks in advance

If you type "vbKey" and then press Ctrl+Space, you get a dropdown list of all the constants.

Code:

---

vbKeyLButton    Left Mouse Button
vbKeyRButton    Right Mouse Button
vnKeyCancel    Cancel Key
vbKeyMButton    Middle Mouse button
vbKeyBack      Back Space Key
vbKeyTab        Tab Key
vbKeyClear      Clear Key
vbKeyReturn    Enter Key
vbKeyShift      Shift Key
vbKeyControl    Ctrl Key
vbKeyMenu      Menu Key
vbKeyPause      Pause Key
vbKeyCapital    Caps Lock Key
vbKeyEscape    Escape Key
vbKeySpace      Spacebar Key
vbKeyPageUp    Page Up Key
vbKeyPageDown  Page Down Key
vbKeyEnd        End Key
vbKeyHome      Home Key
vbKeyLeft      Left Arrow Key
vbKeyUp        Up Arrow Key
vbKeyRight      Right Arrow Key
vbKeyDown      Down Arrow Key
vbKeySelect    Select Key

vbKeyExecute    Execute Key
vbKeySnapshot  Snapshot Key
vbKeyInsert    Insert Key
vbKeyDelete    Delete Key
vbKeyHelp      Help Key
vbKeyNumlock    Delete Key

vbKeyA through vbKeyZ are the key code constants for the alphabet
vbKey0 through vbKey9 are the key code constants for numbers
vbKeyF1 through vbKeyF16 are the key code constants for the function keys
vbKeyNumpad0 through vbKeyNumpad9 are the key code constants for the numeric key pad

Math signs are:
vbKeyMultiply      -  Multiplication Sign (*)
vbKeyAdd            - Addition Sign (+)
vbKeySubtract    - Minus Sign (-)
vbKeyDecimal    - Decimal Point (.)
vbKeyDivide        - Division sign (/)

In your code window type Chr, select it and press F1.
When MSDN opens up select See Also link (top left) and then select Character Set (0-127) or (128-255)...

You can also do this

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim i As Long
    For i = 0 To 255
        List1.AddItem "Chr(" & i & ") = " & Chr(i)
    Next
End Sub

If you wanted to save them, I would replace the Listbox with a text file.

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim i As Long
Open "c:\Ascii.txt" For Append As #1
    For i = 0 To 255
        Print #1, Chr(" & i & ") = " & Chr(i)
    Next
Close #1
End Sub

Those will all be displayed if you run the ASCII code code that I posted.

You will see that Chr(65) through Chr(89) is Capital A through Z
Chr(97) through Chr(122) is Lower Case a through z
Chr(125) = }
Chr(126) = ~

No it doesn't do anything automatically for you - you need to send the SHIFT key...
If you developing virtual keyboard you must know if "SHIFT" was pressed so you will send appropriate character - but generally all you need to know which button was pressed in your app - assign characters directly for each button respectively just like you see it on your physical keyboard. So, if "your shift" is pressed assign UCase and LCase otherwise.
