The following code example demonstrates how to use the KeysConverter class to convert a KeyCode to a String. This example assumes that you have a TextBox named TextBox1 on a Form named Form1.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub KeyDownWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) _ Handles TextBox1.KeyDown MessageBox.Show(e.KeyCode, "KeyDown") MessageBox.Show(e.KeyCode.ToString(), "KeyDown") Dim kc As KeysConverter = New KeysConverter() MessageBox.Show(kc.ConvertToString(e.KeyCode), "KeyDown") End Sub Private Sub KeyPressWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) _ Handles TextBox1.KeyPress MessageBox.Show(e.KeyChar, "KeyPress") MessageBox.Show(e.KeyChar.ToString(), "KeyPress") End Sub End Class
