    decimal key in numeric keypad

    Hi,

    In numeric keypad the decimal point key is always a dot (.)
    What if I change the regional settings for example to Greek where the decimal point is comma (,)? I get dot(.)

    How can I change that key to send comma or dot , depending the regional settings?
    I know that I can preview the keypress in each form of my application and change the dot to comma but what if I have 16+ applications with 20+ forms.

    Thanks in advance

    i believe a greek or other keyboard driver for locales that use comma would do it anyway

    Edit: it does, i just changeed my drivers to test

    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    In regional settings there is also a tab dealing with numbers. (2nd tab)
    There you can set what decimal separator you want to use.
    VB6 MSDN, AllAPI.

    I try to test that but I get the same result.
    I hv change the regional setting in both tabs (Numbers & Currency)

    Decimal symbol: , (comma)
    Digit Grouping symbol: . (dot)

    So the decimal symbol (of the numeric keypad) works correct only in Excel and Calculator.
    I try Word, PPoint, Notepad, Vbasic6 and I get dot (.)
