An interesting challenge involving keypress

Guest_imported · Jul 30, 2001

I have a webpage with an active x window displaying graphics. I want to use the arrows on the keyboard to call up functions to manipulate it. I have tried ascii with no luck. Any ideas on what I could do..

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
See an example:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="vbscript">

</SCRIPT>

u have to create some methods or properties of your active x obj and from html script callthem when the arrows keys are pressed (let's say "key&quot

...
or use the keys from activex control...

from html scripting this is the code
keyup event (after u relese the key)
key code
leftarrow = 37
rightarrow = 39
up = 38
down = 40

keydown event (when u press the key)
key code
leftarrow = 37
rightarrow = 39
up = 38
down = 40

<object .... name=activex id=activex>
<BODY onkeyup="doKeyU();" onkeydown="doKeyD()">
</BODY>
<script language="javascript">
function doKeyU()
{
activex.key=window.event.keyCode;
};
function doKeyD()
{
activex.key=window.event.keyCode;
};
</script>

this is a simple example witch may not work... but shows u how to use it
hope this helps..

Thankyou so much. This syntax of both will help me get a better picture. I just started programming in vbs and needed the help.

Thanks....
