Syntax
KeyCode(Count [, Context] [, FirstOrSecond])
Remarks
Returns a number representing a key assignment that differs from the default assignment. For tables of key codes and the keys they represent, see ToolsCustomizeKeyboard.
Argument | Explanation |
Count | A number in the range 1 to CountKeys() specifying the custom key assignment for which you want to return a key code |
Context | The template containing the custom key assignment: 0 (zero) or omitted Normal template 1 Active template |
FirstOrSecond | If the key assignment is a sequence of two key combinations (for example, if you've assigned CTRL+S, N to NormalStyle), specifies which key combination to return a code for: 1 The first key combination in the sequence 2 The second key combination in the sequence If you specify 2 and the key assignment is not a key sequence, KeyCode() returns 255 (the null key code). |
Example
This example inserts a table of key codes and macro names for key assignments in the active template that differ from the default assignments:
If CountKeys(1) = 0 Then
MsgBox "No custom key assignments in active template."
Goto bye
End If
FormatTabs .ClearAll
FormatTabs .Position = "1in", .Set
Bold 1 : Underline 1
Insert "Key Code" + Chr$(9) + "Macro"
Bold 0 : Underline 0
For i = 1 To CountKeys(1)
Insert Chr$(13) + Str$(KeyCode(i, 1))
combo2 = KeyCode(i, 1, 2)
If combo2 <> 255 Then Insert "," + Str$(combo2)
Insert Chr$(9) + KeyMacro$(i, 1)
Next i
