Anything like "On Key Label" in VB?

[Jeff Carlin]

When I used to program in FoxPro, there was a function named "On Key Label", which, when defined, would make a keystroke combination execute a particular piece of code throughout the app. You would declare it in "sub main" and it would work everywhere. For example:
"ON KEY LABEL F12 DO some_code"

Does VB have anything like this?

Thanks,
Jeff

You can use the KeyDown, KeyPress, and KeyUp events of the form to detect keystrokes within your app. Just set the KeyPreview property of the form to True.

you could always make a menu and set it's visible property to false and set hot keys to it's sub items in the menu editor.

or you could register hot keys with api's.

In short, Jeff, the answer is No. There is no straightforward way of doing that in VB, but will a little creative coding, you can simulate it.
