ASCII Key press problem
I am having a problem with some code I have. On my main search screen I have setup code to copy specific data to the clip board on certain ASCII key presses. This works fine if the listview item has focus (ie. Blue) but if I open a record and come back to it the listview item is ghosted. If the user does not click on the item and presses one of my defined buttons I get a runtime 91 error as it is not the "ActiveControl".
If I put a "On Error Resume Next" under the Clipboard.Clear then it stops the error but doesn't cycle throught the code correctly. eg If you press the A key it cycles throught the U code then exits.
How can I remedy this without simply telling the user to highlight the record before using these keys.
Original code below:
-----
Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Clipboard.Clear
If Screen.ActiveControl.Name = "lvwSearch" And (KeyAscii = 117 Or KeyAscii = 85) Then
Clipboard.SetText (Me.lvwSearch.SelectedItem
ElseIf Screen.ActiveControl.Name = "lvwSearch" And (KeyAscii = 97 Or KeyAscii = 65) Then
Clipboard.SetText (Me.lvwSearch.SelectedItem
ElseIf Screen.ActiveControl.Name = "lvwSearch" And (KeyAscii = 80 Or KeyAscii = 112) Then
Clipboard.SetText (Me.lvwSearch.SelectedItem
ElseIf Screen.ActiveControl.Name = "lvwSearch" And (KeyAscii = 88 Or KeyAscii = 120) Then
If Me.lvwSearch.SelectedItem.
Clipboard.SetText "intpatdetid = " & (Me.lvwSearch.SelectedItem
ElseIf Me.lvwSearch.SelectedItem.
Clipboard.SetText "intreferralid = " & (Me.lvwSearch.SelectedItem
Else
Clipboard.SetText "INTEMERGID = " & (Me.lvwSearch.SelectedItem
End If
End If
If KeyAscii = vbKeyReturn Then
SendKeys "{Tab}"
KeyAscii = 0
End If
End Sub
