Capture the hex code from keyboard input?

[birthjay]

Hello,

How would I write a small app that would capture the hex input from a character entered on the keyboard. Basically, I am trying to figure out the ASCII hex code of another language. I have add the other language in control panel and am able to use the keyboard to type in that language, but I need to know the ASCII hex characters so that I can use them in another program.

Thanks!

Maybe !

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As 
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyUp
        MessageBox.Show(Hex(e.KeyValue).ToString)
    End Sub

Doesn't seem to work exactly pirate. It does display a hex code, but some of them do not match the ASCII table. For example, the ASCII table says that the " + " symbol is 2B and the code above says it is BB.

What do yo think?

try this in the keypress event ...

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
        MessageBox.Show(Convert.ToInt32(e.KeyChar).ToString("X")) '/// specify X to convert to Hex
    End Sub

for more info on the ToString method and what it can do ( apart from the standard tostring ) check this msdn article ... Enum.Format Method
