disabling Esc key

[Hargreavesk]

Hi,

I would like to disable the "Esc" key from a form. I have set Key Preview to "yes" and put in Keycode = 0 on the "Key Up" event. However, "Esc" still works!!! Is there any other way I can stop it?

Regards

Kate

Try putting it in the KeyPress or KeyDown event instead. It is possible that the key is being processed and you are only getting control after it has already be activated, maybe similar to BeforeUpate and AfterUpdate. This is just a thought.

Good Luck!

SBendBuckeye is right. Use the OnKeyPress event of the form and also, set the KeyPreview property of the form to YES.

set form's keypreview property to yes as stated above.


In the form's keydown event put in the following:

If KeyCode = vbKeyEscape Then KeyCode = 0

Hope this helps
