keypress-event at vb6, how does it work

Hmm I'm not too sure either - PerformClick would basically call the click event
so this is what you should do..

just call Button1_Click()

In .NET it might make the button "Animate" as if it was clicking (i'm not too sure about that) but in either case, it would call the click event

well
you can use keyascii like :

if keyascii = 13 then
msgbox ("Enter")
end if

to find out the value of each button you are pressing in keydown event type :
msgbox keyascii


if it didntt work let me know so i install vb6 and double check for you

Just a technique critique <- I'm a poet!.

If you ever really need to call the event, then it might be best to place the code in a Sub or Function that the event calls; that way if you need to reuse the function or sub some where else it is available.

EXAMPLE:

Now some cases you want the event "Tied" or to cascade to other users across a platform (Usually Client/Server development) at this point you probably want to not use the event and do an AddHandler routine to tie the event to a Sub or Function; so that it can cascade the information..

Just an FYI; throwing a wrench in the conversation..

In VB6 all objects are COM based, err most objects are COM based so, they generate the event signature

generally in a form of <object>_Keydown

to invoke the event is the same as invoking a sub routine call just simply place a call statement before the event (or leave blank isn't required, I do it to code for good form)

Call <object>_Keydown(args)

In VB.NET the contrast is that the events are object based; and that really is a debate in terminolgy. To invoke it you call the signature call using the "." seperator; which then looks as a property / method list

Object.Keydown

or what have you.

Hope that help clarifies.
