How to detect delete keypress in a form control

[bkowlagi]

I have this datagrid on a form. now if the user clicks on the leftmost column of the row and presses the Delete button the row gets deleted. I want to trap the delete key and set keyascii = 0. but there is no ascii code for delete key. How do i do it?

P.S. I have the same problem in VB.NET as well.

Probably there is a common solution to detct delte key for any control.

Have you tried the constant

'vbKeyDelete'

.

If KeyAscii = vbKeyDelete then KeyAscii = 0

Sorry, the constant is a keycode constant. You can use it in the Keydown or Keyup event.

Private Sub Text1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
   If KeyCode = vbKeyDelete Then MsgBox "Delete key."
End Sub
