keypress

[awesomebeats]

hello, i was wondering how I can command something to happen if a key is pressed. is there some way to do it without creating a whole new private sub for it? im scared that it will either be too early in the code or too far down and will miss the animation i want to skip. any ideas?

What exactly are you trying to do that you are worried about putting it in its own sub? I believe it has to be called in its own sub. Here is a simple example I use to insert the current time when the user presses the ' key:

Private Sub txtTime_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtTime.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = "'" Then
e.Handled = True
txtTime.Text = FormatDateTime(TimeOfDay, DateFormat.ShortTime)
End If
End Sub
