Programming KeyPress Events for Function keys

[JCG4LOM]

I would like to program a keypress event so that when a function key is pressed the click event is kicked off. Basically,

1. User presses F9
2. Program interperts Keypress and calls a click event of a command button found on the form.

I am having trouble interperting the keypress as a function key. I have code that can determine ASCII characters, but I would really like to map to a function key.

Hopefully, someone may be able to help.

Unfortunately, the KeyPress event does not fire for the function keys (and some other keys), but you can use the KeyDown event. (Be sure that the KeyPreview property of the form is set to Y)

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)

   If ((KeyCode >= 112) And (KeyCode <= 123)) Then
      MsgBox &quot;Function Key Pressed:  F&quot; & Trim(KeyCode - 111)
      KeyCode = 0
   End If

End Sub

Good Luck
