I'll assume that you want to move the form

Don't forget to set the KeyPreview property to TRUE.


to move something else instead of the form-
In that case the code is same as before, just instead of ME keyword put the name of the object you want to move.

'code:---------------------------------------------------

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Select Case KeyCode
Case vbKeyUp
Me.Top = Me.Top - 120
Case vbKeyDown
Me.Top = Me.Top + 120
Case vbKeyLeft
Me.Left = Me.Left - 120
Case vbKeyRight
Me.Left = Me.Left + 120
End Select
End Sub


'to make it a smooth move

Dim blnMove As Boolean ' indicates wheter to move the object or not

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
blnMove = True ' set to move the object
Do
Select Case KeyCode
Case vbKeyUp
Me.Top = Me.Top - 20
Case vbKeyDown
Me.Top = Me.Top + 20
Case vbKeyLeft
Me.Left = Me.Left - 20
Case vbKeyRight
Me.Left = Me.Left + 20
End Select
DoEvents ' let the system handle other things
Loop While blnMove ' loop while the value of blnMove = TRUE
End Sub

Private Sub Form_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
blnMove = False ' set not to move the object
End Sub

'This code will move the form around the screen (smoothly) 'until you release any key. To make the object moves more 'smoothly, try decreasing the numeric values (I put 20 'instead of 120 this time).


'You can use the loop statement in two ways:


'1. Loop Until Not blnMove (same as Loop Until blnMove = False)
'2. Loop While blnMove (same as Loop While blnMove = True)
