Disabling the standard function keys

[Niels Borg]

Hi,
I am building an app, where I would like to disable the standard windows
function keys. I.E. F4 which expands a a selected drop-down list.

Can anyone help me on that?

Many thanks

Re: Disabling the standard function keys

I would say do the following.

Set your form's Keypreview property to True.

In the form's Keydown event Add the following code

' add all keys here you want to block to this if statement with Or
If KeyCode = vbKeyF4 or KeyCode = vbKeyF5 Then
KeyCode = 0
Endif

this should Block it for you pretty good, however if you want a bit more
control than that, you can add the same code to the keydown even of the
controls themselves instead of in the form's code.
