Snippet Library

To make an event happen when a key is pressed, use the KeyPress or KeyDown events.


And to have a menu and make it look like it has that big gap between, as a regular assigned shortcut would, use Chr$(9).

example cut ctl-x <---- this is the shortcut
----------------^ gap

none

'code:

Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
    'if KeyAscii = ... Then...
    MsgBox KeyAscii & Chr$(9) & Chr(KeyAscii)
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Me.KeyPreview = True
End Sub



'code:

MyMenu.Caption = "Help" & Chr$(9) & "F1";
