Hi Luke,
I propose you the property e.KeyChar.
As you can see in this example:
Private Sub myTextBox_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles myTextBox.KeyPress
if e.KeyChar = "a" then
MsgBox("You have pressed the letter " & e.KeyChar)
' and you can cancel the keyPress event like this
e.Handled = True
end if
End Sub
I hope that it sweet your needs.

Hi all** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-
Are there any Visual Basic experts on this list?
I am trying to convert a string to a value that the keypress event will
recognise and am having a lot of trouble.
Basically I’m writing a touch typing program, so I have a string, let’s say
it’s “A”, and I want the program to run a routine based on whether the
correct key was pressed or not, so in this case was the letter A typed.
I’m having issues with converting the string A, to something that keypress
will understand so it knows what key to look for.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Luke
