whats the vb equivalent of the cmd "ord" in turing

[tifg]

the ord statement in turing turns a letter into the corresponding number in the ASCII code... does any one kno if the same function exist for vb?

Try using this code:

code:

Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer) Form1.Caption = KeyAscii End Sub

Just run the program and start pushing keys and the code will appear in the caption of the form. Also note that some keys don't have a keyascii code.

asc()
putting the letter in quotes in the brackets would work
for example:
msgbox asc("k")
