Detecting key pressed

[Harry]

Does anyone know how to detect if the "Enter" key is pressed? Please, include some code please. Thanks!!

------------------

[celsius]

try this:

Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = vbKeyReturn Then MsgBox "You pressed enter!"
End Sub

[Desire]

Try this

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer)

if keycode = vbreturn then
'DO THE THING
end if

End Sub

How can I track which keys are pressed whether they are in my application or not?

[Harry]

Actually, I have a text box for the user to enter something and I want to execute a function when the user press "return" after he/she is finished entering something in the text box. How do you do that?

You can use the GetAsyncKeyState API, (I'm getting DejaVu I've Mentioned this API so much today...), eg.

Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vKey As Long) As Integer

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    If GetAsyncKeyState(vbKeyA) Then MsgBox "You Pressed 'A'"
End Sub

Aaron I have a Logitech Internet Keyboard and I HATE IT. I can't assign any events to the keys on the side of the keyboard. Do you have any ideas on finding out how to get their states? I am trying to make a program that uses them for macros!

Please reply to my email address [email protected]

I really looking forward to a reply

The keyboard has like 18 Extra keys on it and also a LED! It would be great if I could even find a API call that would cause a event on a key press so I could find the HEX address of that key!
