Capture <ctrl> t from a textbox

[LegalIT]

Hi,

I am trying to capture the sequence <ctrl> t from a textbox to automatically fill in the current date. I can see how to capture an individual character but I am having trouble catching the sequence.

I am using VB.net.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Something like this in the KeyDown event will do:

[CODE=vb]If Shift = 2 And KeyCode = Asc("T") Then
'code to fill the date, something like: textbox1.text=t extbox1.text & date
End If[/CODE]

If I'm not mistaken, that looks like VB6 code.

Anyway, don't forget that the accepted way to test bit positions within the Shift parameter is with AND, not =. For example...

[CODE=vb]If (Shift and VbCtrlMask) And KeyCode = Asc("T") Then ' Control T ...[/CODE]

I figured it out from your suggestions. Thank you both!!!
