Sample code - This is a sample code for using the keydown event of Visual Basic 6 to handle an event when enter and caps lock keys are pressed.

Hi Zaphan! I have actually tried using the keypress event. It worked for the "enter" key but I don't seem to figure out why it's not working with "caps lock". Another option I did is to use the keydown event and it worked perfectly fine to both keys. Here's actually the sample code I used: Private Sub Text1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) Select Case KeyCode Case vbKeyReturn Text1.Text = "Hello world!" Case vbKeyCapital Text1.Text = UCase(Text1.Text) End Select End Sub You might as well try the following sites for additional key codes and samples. http://www.codeguru.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-31330.html http://bytes.com/topic/visual-basic/answers/657002-what-keyascii-tab-key Don't worry these aren't spams. Good luck!

It will probably involve UCase(my.text1.text) in a little procedure or you can use UCase (capturedstring) where captured string is a variable that has been assigned the text from the text box. Look up UCase on the internet as yuou will probably have to put it into a little procedure or sub, and I can' copy or paste into this window, but there heaps of code samples of doing this on the internet.
