Use of Function keys to display data

[pervez]

Dear Sir

I want to use function keys in my “Inventory Control System” software.

For example, I want to see the availability of Computer based on ref_no (ref_no does exist in a TextBox which is placed on my MDI form). Then if I press F2 or F3 or F4 …., that particular item i.e. Computer related with ref_no will be displayed on a DataGrid.

Please help me about the use of function keys to serve my purpose.


Appreciate, if you would come back at your earliest.

Dear Sir

I forgot to mention that I'm using VB6.0 and for database Access 2002.

You can test which key is pressed in the textbox's KeyDown event.

Private Sub Text1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Select Case KeyCode
   Case vbKeyF4
       ' do something
       KeyCode = 0
    Case VbKeyF3 Then 
       ' do something else
       KeyCode = 0

    ' etc
End Select
End Sub
