RTF shortcut key.

[jerasi]

I have a RTF control on one of my forms, my problem is when I press CTRL + E it aligns the text to the center (default with RTF's) how can I tell when CTRL + E was pressed and make the RTF ignor it?

 

[rvBasic]

Private Sub rtfBox_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)

Select Case KeyAscii
Case Is = 5 ' ignore CTRL + E
KeyAscii = 0
Case Else
KeyAscii = KeyAscii
End Select

End Sub

I tried that and it didnt seem to work, I tried

Private Sub rtfBox_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
MsgBox KeyAscii
End Sub

I get the message box when I press any button but without the CTRL button (when i press CTRL + E the message box doesnt appear).

I'm baffled: I reproduced your code on my system (WinMe and VB6) where i created a standard form (Form1) and a standard rtf (RichTextBox1). The responses were as expected: even when trying any alphabetic key in combination with the CTRL key did produce the message box with the correct Ascii code (1 = a or A, 26 = z or Z) _________________________________
