"ALT" Key Code

[jedel]

Hi All

Can anyone tell me what the keycode is for the 'Alt' Button?

I'm trying to trap the CTRL + ALT + DEL group of keys and provide the user with a message once that series of buttons is pressed.

I have the code for the ctrl and Del buttons, but not the Alt

Also, when you write the "Case" statement, do you just place a plus (+) sign between the Keycodes? ie vbKeyControl + vbKeyDelete.

Thanks in advance.

Jedel

The values that you are looking for can be found in the VB Help under Sendkeys.

They are CTRL ^, ALT % and unlike VB you would not use a plus sign. The plus sign would equal the shift key.

^%{DEL} would be the CRTL ALT DEL combination that you are looking for.


HTH,

Steve

Which operating system? I ask because you cannot trap this particular key sequence in NT3.51, NT4, W2000, XP or W2003 (well, not quite true, but it would require rewriting something called the GINA, which is part of the operating system's security subsystem, and is a non-trivial exercise that certainly cannot be done in Access)
