Sending a back command to IE

[dekken]

I am trying to message keydown alt & left to IE, but can neither find the vb keycode for alt, nor am I sure that this will work correctly. If someone can offer some light regarding either my implementation or if someone has a better solution, please post. Thanks in advance.

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

Keycode for Alt is 18
Shift is set bitwise
bit 1 = shift key
bit 2 = control key
bit 3 = Alt key
so if control and alt are hit together, shift returns 6

If you set KeyPreview = True for the Form, and Debug.print keycode in the formKeydown sub then you can find any Keycodes you need Let me know if this helps

Thanks for the reply. Is the sub example meant to illustrate how to obtain keycodes only, or am I missing how this is applicable to sending IE the command alt & left? Thanks again. -Joshua Cowhig

Sub header was to show arguments

Rest was info on keycodes, shift codes and how to find any others

Your original post said 'but can neither find the vb keycode for alt,' and that's what I was trying to help with Let me know if this helps
