Does anyone know how to process a <TAB> keystroke when entering it in a standard VB6 textbox? Right now it just jump to next tabstop. What I wish to do is to catch it just like a <ENTER> keystroke;
___________________________________________________________
Private Sub AE_SerialNo_KeyPress(keyascii As Integer)
If keyascii = 13 Then
___________________________________________________________

How would it look for a <TAB> catch? I found out that there should be a textbox with a "AcceptsTab" property... but I can't find it. All input is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The KeyAscii for TAB is 9. Look for in the old ASCII Charts in very old books. lol.

Private Sub AE_SerialNo_KeyPress(keyascii As Integer)
If keyascii = 9 Then
' Use it and ...
keyascii = 0
End If

Thanks for your reply dude.

My problem is however that windows seem to handle the <TAB> at a higher level so that I never get a chance to catch it. When pressing the <TAB> it never trigg the "KeyPress" event.

Any other ide?

Thanks in advance.

Use the KeyDown event, for example with a Textbox:
[and there are constants for the keycodes]

Private Sub Text1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = Asc(vbTab) Then MsgBox "Tab =" & KeyCode, , "keydown"
End Sub
