[2005][Resolved] trouble with keys.oem(number)

I'm having trouble getting vb to recognize that a number key across the top of the keyboard is being pressed. I think that those keys are Oem1-9.
this is my code:

vb Code:

Private Sub Form1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyUp
        Select Case e.KeyCode
            Case Is = Keys.A
                Pic1Move3.Enabled = False
            Case Is = Keys.S
                Pic1Move2.Enabled = False
            Case Is = Keys.D
                Pic1Move1.Enabled = False
            Case Is = Keys.W
                Pic1Move0.Enabled = False
            Case Is = Keys.Up
                Pic2Move0.Enabled = False
            Case Is = Keys.Right
                Pic2Move1.Enabled = False
            Case Is = Keys.Down
                Pic2Move2.Enabled = False
            Case Is = Keys.Left
                Pic2Move3.Enabled = False
            Case Is = Keys.Oem1
                Select Case P1Spells(1)
                    Case Is = "Fireball"
                        P1CurrentSpell.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("Fireball Icon.png")
                End Select
            Case Is = Keys.Oem2
                Select Case P1Spells(2)
                    Case Is = "Fireball"
                        P1CurrentSpell.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("Fireball Icon.png")
                End Select
            Case Is = Keys.Oem3
                Select Case P1Spells(3)
                    Case Is = "Fireball"
                        P1CurrentSpell.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("Fireball Icon.png")
                End Select
            Case Is = Keys.Oem4
                Select Case P1Spells(4)
                    Case Is = "Fireball"
                        P1CurrentSpell.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("Fireball Icon.png")
                End Select
            Case Is = Keys.Oem5
                Select Case P1Spells(5)
                    Case Is = "Fireball"
                        P1CurrentSpell.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("Fireball Icon.png")
                End Select
            Case Is = Keys.Q
                P1CurrentSpell.BackgroundImage = Nothing
        End Select
    End Sub

the code works if i use any other key (like the numpad), just not with Oem. It doesnt give me an error, it just does nothing when i press the number keys.
anyone got a reason why?

Thanks.

If you want to know what they are you simply need to handle the KeyUp event, press one of those keys and test the value of e.KeyCode:

Code:

---

Private Sub Form1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, _
                        ByVal e As KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyUp
    MessageBox.Show(e.KeyCode.ToString())
End Sub

---

When you do that you'll find that you're looking for the wrong values.

thanks for that tip. Im not home however at the moment, what are the number keys across the top of the keyboard called?
picture attached with number keys highlighted.

D0 to D9. "D" for digit.

oh really?!
i saw that... but.... gah...

Thanks for the help!
