Hi people. I've been writing a little application and I want the user to be able to exit a form by pressing ESC key. I have tried a this so far but no joy:
Private Sub frmMenu_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = 27 Then
KeyAscii = 0
End
End If
End SubI have tried a few different things but can't seem to get it to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
Jump to PostIf you're trying to unload a form, your code does not show any part of unloading. You can add the
Unload Mesomewhere in your code.

If you're trying to unload a form, your code does not show any part of unloading. You can add the Unload Me somewhere in your code.

Wait. Shouldn't frmMenu_Keypress be just Form_Keypress ?

frmMenu_Keypressbe justForm_Keypress?
hey frmMenu is the name of the form

Yes, I know. I tried creating a project with a form named frmMenu and placed the code. It didn't work. I replaced frmMenu_KeyPress with Form_KeyPress and it worked. Just sharing my experience.:)
ohhho ........... then jus try it stanwaka. These thinghs tend to work out sometimes. ANd v cant explain it. Even this might work.
You can place a Command Button in the form and set it's Cancel Property to True. In the Button_Click Event write
Unload Me
To give the illusion of the Escape Key working directly on the form, set the Button's visible property to false
//Try this but the focus must be on that object
If KeyAscii = 27 Then
unload me
End If
