WTF?? KeyDown Event

John Simpson

8/31/2010 5:51:00 PM

Help!!!

Windows 7, VB6

I have the following code with a mysterious problem. Hitting
keys A thru Z or numbers 0 thru 9, assign the correct results
the variable ch below. Punctuation is wrong. For example, the
/ key returns a keycode of 191.

I'm sure there is a simple fix, but it eludes me!

'
'
'
Private Sub rtbDesc_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Static keyStroke As Long
Dim sp As Long
Dim ch As String * 1

If KeyCode <> 8 Then ' don't count the BS
keyStroke = keyStroke + 1 ' count keystrokes
Else ' if it is a BS then
keyStroke = keyStroke - 1 ' decrement the count
End If

If keyStroke > 60 And KeyCode = 32 Then ' if more than 60
rtbDesc.text = rtbDesc.text & vbCrLf ' characters and a space
sp = Len(rtbDesc.text) ' append a crlf to the
rtbDesc.SelStart = sp ' text string and
lineLength = sp
keyStroke = 0 '
End If '

If KeyCode = 10 Or KeyCode = 13 Then
keyStroke = 0
lineLength = 0
tmptext = ""
Else
lineLength = lineLength + 1
ch = Chr$(KeyCode)
tmptext = tmptext & ch
End If

Text1.text = KeyCode & " " & Str(lineLength) & " " & tmptext

If Len(tmptext) < 30 Then
flxDesc.Clear
DoEvents
DisplayText tmptext, Len(tmptext)
End If

End Sub

Thanks is advance.

down to the tiebreaker?

several people here were pulling for 10th and several were dismissive
that he would play it......but it is two days away and Bruce has been
known to change his mind.

Like he says, Bruce is the Decider, and I don't think any list is
final until Bruce hits the stage.
If he decides Sunday night that he wants to play "Midnight Hour," the
band could do it.

If 10th was rehearsed, and the horns are there, id say its a 100% lock

While the band plays "live" at the venue, isn't it a prerecorded track
that plays on the television broadcast? If so, then once the
recording is made, the set would be set in stone.

There is a big difference between KeyCode (the parameter to KeyDown/Up) and
KeyAscii (the parameter to KeyPress). There are all sorts of keycodes
assigned to different keys on your keyboard. The / down by the shift key has
a different code than the / on the numeric keypad, because they are two
physically different keys. You can't count on a keycode paralleling the
ASCII code for the character on the key; the ASCII code is retrieved from a
map.

This has nothing to do with Windows 7, by the way, and should happen on any
OS.

Check out the vbKey* constants. You can find them via Intellisense or in the
Object Browser in the <globals> section of the VBRUN library.

Jeff,

I'm aware of all of the above, but how do I resolve this problem???

I mentioned Windows 7, because I always try to define the environment
before I post the question.

Thanks.

Perhaps KeyPress() would be more useful?

Note: You are usually better off to do any processing in a "Key Up" or
"Key Press" and use "Key Down" to set flags for combinations, ie,
Ctrl+A, Shift+Tab, ...

But that is just general advise and can be safely ignored. <g>
