accent thing

[endusto]

how would i make it so when somebody put an e in an rtf box, it would change to an é?

[MartinLiss]

Private Sub RichTextBox1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
 
    If KeyAscii = 101 Then
        KeyAscii = 233
    End If
    
End Sub

thanks that helps a lot, but if they put a k, how would i make it show |<

Find the ascii value of K and replace it with the 2 chars you need. Do a search on the web for ASCII and you will find a few character charts.

Can probably even find them in Character Map on your PC.

lol, thats what i did, but i don't know how to put 2 chars

[BrianS]

Try this

If keyascii = InsertAsciiCodeHere Then
        RichTextBox1.SelText = "|<"
        keyascii = 0
End If

To get an ASCII code simply type the following in the debug/immediate window:

print asc("character")

... and then press enter. The ASCII code should appear then.

Also Visual Basic should have a chart some where in the help files.

As for your other questions:

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Dim CursorPos As Integer
CursorPos = Text1.SelStart
 If KeyAscii = Asc("e") Then Text1.Text = Text1.Text + Chr$(233): KeyAscii = Empty
 If KeyAscii = Asc("k") Then Text1.Text = Text1.Text + "|<": KeyAscii = Empty
Text1.SelStart = CursorPos + 1
End Sub

The code probably is not the best sollution but I hope it will help you any way.

k, thanks i got my app working nicely, but now there is another problem. i want to put a ì into it for g, but it shows up as a ? any way to fix that?

EDIT
the g, with an accent turns into an ì here. but, it looks like a g normally, but it has an accent
