Event : ANYKEY

[Dan DeConinck]

Hello,

I want a key press ( any key ) to be an EVENT in the currently active FORM

As I am new to VB the only EVENTs I have used have come from the list of
controls on the left hand side of Visual Studio. Where would I get the
ANYKEY code and where would I get the code for other such events that are
not show on the list of controls on the left hand side of Visual Studio ?

Thanks Dan

Why not set the form's 'KeyPreview' property to 'True' and add a handler
for the, for example, 'KeyDown' event?

Your kidding right ?, the ANYKEY does not exists does it ( Homer Simpson ).

Assuming your serious for just one moment, do you mean any key press in
windows , on within the form your are referring to. If you are referring to
the form, then set the KeyPreview = True on your form and use the KeyDown,
KeyUp and KeyPress events to view any kepress on any control in that form.
