Word VBA >> Retaining/discarding keystrokes

by Randy Dod » Sat, 17 Jul 2004 07:57:39 GMT

When the user is typing in a textbox, is there a way to
discard certain keystrokes in the keydown event? Such as,
if they type an "e" simply not display it. I found a
clunky way to do it by switching to a checkbox, and then
in the keyup event of the checkbox, set the focus back to
the textbox. Is there an easier way?

Conversely, I've noticed that if my code takes a long time
in the keydown event, it will lose the keystroke that
way. Of course I need to make my code faster, but short
of that, how do I make sure it doesn't get lost?

Simply zeroing the Keycode does it. Bear in mind that the codes are ANSI
keyboard codes, not character values. To remove 'e' --

If Keycode = 69 then
Keycode = 0
end if

Thanks for the response Ken. But there should be an alternative to this, I think. I need to implement it in my project anyhow. Is the below things possible ? 

1) Can I use any other control in commandbar as an alternative to commandbarcombobox ? If yes what can I use ?

2) I think if somehow I override Kill_foucus event, I may get the value ? Am I right ? In normal windows form, I can easily attach this event, but I am not able similar event in Oultook. How can I attach a kill_focus event to COMMANDBARCOMBOBOX, using win32 API ?

I need this badly. Kindly help

Thanks
