I dont know BASIC at all, but have you checked to make sure that Form_Keyup is even being called in the first place? Try putting a message box or debug break in there and make sure its hitting the function. If that doesent work then you need to get that working first. Then I would look at what the keycode is currently set to. Like I said, I know nothing about BASIC, but there are many ways a keycode can be represented.

Hope this helps

yea thanks... i tried to set a label.caption to the keycode because i believe that when a key is pressed a keycode is sent to the user(if that makes sense).. but it doesnt display... ill try to set it to 0 but i cant imagine that working... the worst part is ive done this before but it just wont work

i wish i could just say ...

VisualBasic.isKeyPressed("space");
lol

well VB6 does have GetASyncKeyState which does the thing you're thinking of..

Just wondering though why are you still using VB6 when the new versions of VB.NET have express editions for free?

I saw this line and immediately thought, 'this' inherits from the 'im an idiot' class.

well i dont have internet on my pc so i need someway to get an installer onto a flash but cant figure it out.. so im stuck with 6.0

I remember when I programmed with VB6 ions ago there was something like Debug.print.
So try printing the keyCode value, this might help.

Put your cursor on the line "If KeyCode = 50 Then". Press [F9] on your keyboard. This will set a breakpoint. Run your program. Press a key. The program will break. Focus on the "Immediate Window" in the VB6 development environment. Type "print KeyCode". See what it says. Now you've learned how to use breakpoints and the immediate window. I don't recall how to get to the Watch and Locals windows, but those would be preferable over typing "print KeyCode". See if you can find them on your own.

Visual Studio 2008 Express Offline Installer. Just copy it to a Flash drive or burn to a DVD and you're all set. [smile]

.......... i donwloaded that yesterday for four hours but when it didnt do anything i deleted it..........

ok so i didnt delete it i have a winrar archive called VS2008ExpressENUX1397868 its 916,122 kb if that sounds right.. when i extract the files all it has is a readme file so yea idk.......

the read me file says this



"This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system
that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification."

yea so is this it... im so confused

ok well i am still not understanding whats going on... if anyone would do this for me i can discuss payment arrangements in a pm

Hi,

Well That's the right File. Its ans .iso file in UDF Format. You have to Burn it on a DVD using a program That Supports UDF Format Files Like Nero, Roxio etc..

Or You Can Extract it Using A software Such as MagicISO etc..

Then You will Be able to Install It.

I have The same version for Visual C++ on My comp and I burned it onto a DVD and Then Installed it.

Hope this helps.

Danish :-)

i dont have any burnable discs handy thats the thing

I still got VB6 installed and this works fine for me:

I also suggest you move on to VB2008 express as has been suggested and if you cannot download/burn it just about any VB2008 book at the bookstore most likely comes with a copy of the express versions on dvd. At least most of my VB2005 books did.
p.s. 27 is the escape key if you didn't already know so this points out why "magic numbers" aren't a good idea to use in the first place!

You can install a virtual CD/DVD reader, like Daemon Tools, by which you can mount the image file (.iso) without burning it.

i know it doesnt make sense ive done this before same exact code, ive seen it work hundreds of times but it just isnt working idk what the problem is
