Modify Keystroke Behaviour

[John Burton]

Knowledge base article 210401 lists numbers 13, 9, 33 and
34 for various keystrokes. Where do I find a list for the
others ? arrow up, arrow down etc. Thanks.

Hi John, this has heaps of ascii codes, I can't see uparrow there though.
Someone else may know if any of these represent the arrow keys, although the
arrow keys aren't characters so maybe they're not represented by an ascii
code(?):

Hello,
Do it yourself with :
Function fnt_Keystroke (Keycode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
MsgBox ("Key = ") & KeyCode
End Function

Hi Damien,

I'm replying to your post because John's original post is no longer visible
to me.

You are correct in thinking that these keys may not have corresponding ASCII
codes. If I remember correctly, only the letter, number, punctuation and
symbol, Esc, Tab, Backspace and Return keys have corresponding ASCII codes.
Keys that do not generate ASCII codes include the arrow keys, page up and
down keys, Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Caps Lock, Home, End, Insert, Delete and
function keys.

Phil's post elsewhere in this thread should work to determine the key code
for these keys, but there are also intrinsic constants that can be used in
place of the numbers in VBA code, such as vbKeyUp and vbKeyDown for the up
and down arrow keys. See the VBA help topic "Keycode Constants".
