period or comma on numeric pad of keyboard

[jamsek19]

Hello.
I make a VP application, which use localization settings (sorting, numbers, ...).
I want to determine, what should I get period or comma (for example) in TextBox, if I press period key on numeric pad.
In english keyboard I got <.> and on my language I must get <,>.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Andreo

Return the national settings from the registry (see faq222-92) or use

mid$(2, CStr(1 / 2), 1)

to return the separator. Sunaj

This is true just in case if you want to determine what is saved in registry. But if I switch between keyboard layouts &quot;on-line&quot; (by clicking in system tray icon) I do not get the right character (if is <.> or <,>).

jamsek,

I don't think you want to go and programmatically change the keys. If your program ends improperly it could leave it that way and the user would be less than happy with you.

What you can do instead, is if it is a specific text box that you are looking in, add this code.

Private Sub Text1_Keypress(KeyAscii as Integer)
If KeyAscii = 46 then ' This is a period
KeyAscii = 44 ' Change it to a comma
End If
End Sub

Thanks for really fast reply.
Yes, I can use this if I have a TextBox or any object, where I should enter a number.
But is it possible to determine in advance what will I get if I press period key on numeric pad.
Thanks
