Hello, i have a very simple problem with VB6:

I have made a console for my app consisting of 2 text boxes and i want it so if you press enter after typing something in one of the text boxes then it will show some text in the other and maybee run a program or do something. pls help it is just a simple keypress or key down statement, ive looked in the help and i couldnt sort it!!
thnx, help appreciated

R U asking how 2 type abc.text="sdk" in the keypress event?
I really couldn't get ur question. If its anything different plz elaborate. Also, msdn lib is quite full with all sort of examples 2 do these simple things.

Yes i am, thanx if you would tell me, appreciated

Well friend I thought my above answer was sufficient. Still, if u know nothing about it, try pressing the button at the form window or just look in the menu items to get the general format of a keypress event. Once u get the method, just type the above in it (and use appropriate name 4 the textbox). U'll get dozens of examples in any tutorial.

ok thanks a lot, respect, andy mcnab

if you want to run a program from vb using a texbox, get the user to input the program nam they want to run in the text box and when they click a button call the 'SHELL' function. for eg, this would display an input box and then run the app that was typed in:

strAppName = InputBox("To run the calculator type 'calc'. " & "to run Notepad type 'notepad'.", "Enter Shell Command")

Shell strAppName, vbNormalFocus

Hope this helps
