KeyAscii

[Guest]

What is KeyAscii and where is a good website or page that will describe this
and detail this for me?

KeyAscii is a parameter associated with the KeyPress event (usually
associated with forms or controls). Checkout VBA Help for either topic or

KeyAscii is a variable which holds the ascii value of a key when it's
pressed. So if you press 'A', KeyAscii will be 65, if you press 'B',
KeyAscii will be 66, etc.

You can easily test this with a UserForm and a TextBox called TextBox1:


Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal KeyAscii As MSForms.ReturnInteger)

MsgBox KeyAscii & " = " & Chr(KeyAscii)

If KeyAscii = 32 Then

MsgBox "You pressed the space bar"

End If

End Sub

Since VBA is not a .NET language, I think this link would be a more
comfortable reference...
