Hi. I'm looking for a comprehensive list of all the keycodes for the keyup, keydown and keypress events, so i can know what the integer is for any key, or find which key any integer is referring to. I've done a fair bit of searching but google and MSDN suck, so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Cheers,
Metal
Just catch the key pressed in the Keydown event :)

Or just open your Object Browser in the VB IDE by pressing F2 and type "KeyCodeConstants" into the search box. You will get a listing of all the key constants. :D
There you go rob, outdoing everyone again :p
MSDN doesn't have a list? That is weird.Quote:
MSDN suck
Well I should say its most of the keycodes in just that one Type. But to get the others you can also search the Object Browser with just "vbKey" and it will get them all together in one list for you.
Actually, there is always someone somewhere that will out do you as no one knows everything. I am still learning something every day. :)
Thanks to all, that list was what I really needed. Oh and Hell-Lord, I already had a line saying label1.caption = keycode so i could find a number for any key, but the problem was that this was a program i havent used for a while, and it was using something for keycode 93, and I couldn't remember what 93 was. I needed a list of everything so i could find out what a key is given its number.
Nevertheless, looking on these lists there doesn't seem to be a 93, which would explain why I've tried most of the keys to no avail. Must just be an error, ill go change it to whatever it's meant to be. :D
Thanks again,
Metal
KeyCode 93 is an undocumented key because it didn't really come into vogue until after VB6 was released. It's the context menu key, on the right of the spacebar next to the Start Menu key.
Pressing it effectively simulates a mouse right click, but it doesn't actually send a right click. (Mainly because it is independent of the mouse location; it sends the equivalent of a right click at the keyboard's insertion point.)
This is a great key to support, as all the users who it will affect will be very appreciative if you include it and very annoyed if you don't.
