keypress and keydown

[vb_student]

hello

Is keypress fired after keydown or vice versa

[Static]

its Keydown > keypress > change > keyup

[vb_student]

thanks static
does keydown call the keypress method and so on or does
keypress occur after keydown part of a broader key routine?

what i mean is there as key routine which is something like

sub key_routine
keydown
keypress 
key_change
key_up
end sub

i guess key_click is not part of this routine

However VB handles the "Key" events is hidden from us so there is no way to tell. BTW there is no such thing as key_change or key_click because you don't change a given key and neither do you click it..

thanks for the reply Martin

The events are presumably all fired from the control's WndProc, upon the different messages.

[vb_student]

thanks for the reply penagate

what is WndProc?
is it an event?

WindowProc

Every window has one. Not all VB controls do however because some are "windowless" i.e. painted straight onto the form itself. Such as a Label.
