Capturing keystrokes in a ComboBox

[wassimdaccache]

I'm using MS access 2003...

In my form I have a combo box I need to use on dirty action the following code

DIM X AS StrinG

X=MYCOMBO( my goal is to get every character written on the combo for example if user press A --> x=a after that if user will write S then x=AS )
is keycode function useful !?

It is not working in dirty (it works if it is not a combo box) I don't know why and What I have to do ...

thank you everybody

To capture individual characters in a Combo Box and increment a String, Declare a String Variable As Static in the Combo's KeyPress() Event. The code is listed below and the entry in the Combo Box was Philadelphia is the City of Brotherly Love! The Output of Debug.Print is also listed:

Private Sub cboTest_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Static X As String
 
X = X & Chr$(KeyAscii)
Debug.Print X
 End Sub

OUTPUT:

P
Ph
Phi
Phil
Phila
Philad
Philade
Philadel
Philadelp
Philadelph
Philadelphi
