How to disable CTRL-S, but not CTRL-C/CTRL-V

99 New Member
For complicated reasons, I am disabling Ctrl-S on a form, so that users have to use the Save button. I have the following code, which works fine:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
  2.     Select Case True
  3.     Case (Shift = acCtrlMask)
  4.         Beep
  5.         KeyCode = 0
  6.     Case ((Shift = 0) And (KeyCode = vbKeyCancel Or KeyCode = vbKeyReturn Or KeyCode = vbKeyEscape))
  7.         Beep
  8.         KeyCode = 0
  9.     End Select
  10. End Sub
  11.  
But this disables Ctrl-anything!! I would like users to still be able to cut and paste data in fields.

Is there any way of catching the NEXT key after CTRL has been pressed down? I had thought the 'KeyCode' might be the next key, but it isn't! It is "17" which is the code for CTRL itself.

(Long time since I've been here! Hope you are all still there?!!)

Hello, So I would like to disable a textbox on a vb.net form without the text getting grayed out. In vb6 I could place a textbox control on a frame control and disable the frame leaving the textbox enabled and text/background were intact but mouse cursor remained an arraw (as opposed to an I for editable). I tried a Panel control on my .net form since I could I guess there is no longer a frame control (also tried a groupbox control)....
