Key board Buttons

[lee123]

Is there a way to pop up a msgbox to say what number a button is on a keyboard is example:

if i was to press the delete button on my keyboard then a msgbox would pop up and say what number it was.

is this possible to do?

You need to capture the keystrokes in the keypress and keydown events.
and for more specific message use an IF loop or case loop.

Use following sub:

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
    MsgBox KeyCode
    
End Sub
