Hi all KEYASCII what do i use instead & location propertiess

[KRAZYJOHN]

I used to use keyascii on vb6 alot but now its gone i duno how to use key press events at all what do i use in stead of keyascii for example if i wanted a control to move right when x was pressed what would i use.



The position propertie has gone to i used to do simple things like this to move move things control.left = control.left +50 but thats gone to now as well what do i use instead

i ve studied the msdn for ages but it makes no sense really thanks

The key press event has comes with a parameter.. e
It is in this parameter that the information about what key was pressed is located. For example...

If e.Keys = char(..)
 
// or you can use the keys enumeration
 
If e.Keys = Keys. //select one from the list
 
Control.Location = new point(control.location.x-=50,control.location.y)
 
End if

Sorry my fault. In the parameter of the keypress event args you should have a KEYCHAR property. That should be the one you want.

If e.KeyChar = char(..)

// or you can use the keys enumeration

If e.KeyChar = Keys. //select one from the list

Control.Location = new point(control.location.x-=50,control.location.y)

End if
