SftDirectory 3.5 - ActiveX File/Folder Control

SftDirectory.KeyDown Event

A key is pressed.

Syntax

object

A SftDirectory object.

KeyCode

Describes the virtual key pressed. See your development environment documentation for available key code constants.

Shift

Describes the state of the SHIFT, CONTROL and ALT keys. A bit is set if the key is down. The Shift argument is a bit field with bits corresponding to the SHIFT, CONTROL and ALT keys. It indicates the state of these keys. Some, all, or none of the bits can be set, indicating which of the keys are pressed.

Comments

The KeyDown event occurs when a key is pressed.

The KeyDown event is never generated for the TAB key.

To interpret keyboard characters (ANSI characters) use the KeyPress event.

The key typed by the user can be suppressed by setting KeyCode to 0.

    End If
End Sub
