How make stuff move around using the arrow keys?

[pavol]

lets say your 'stuff' is a shape called shpBox. in the form_keydown procedure. you could use some code like this:

code:

Select Case vbKeyCode      Case vbKeyUp           For i = 1 To 100               For j = 1 To 1000000                     shpBox.Top = shpBox.Top - 100               Next j           Next i End Select

the for loop just simply moves the object but the part that makes shpBox move up using the arrow key is select case vbkeycode case vbkeyup. vbkeyup is used for the up arrow key, vbkeydown for the down arrow key and so on.
hope this helps

umm when I press any key the object goes up, how do I make it just move up with the up arrow key?

forgot to include that part
to make it go up you use the code shpBox.Top = shpBox.Top - 100(or whatever speed you choose), down would be shpBox.Top = shpBox.Top +100, left : shpBox.Left = shpBox.Left -100, and right : shpBox.Left = shpBox.Left +100
