KeyUp Event

Description

Occurs when the user releases a key while a control has the focus. (To determine ANSI characters, use the KeyPress event.)

Syntax

Public Event KeyUp( _
    ByRef KeyCode As Integer, _
    ByVal Shift As Integer _
)

Parameters

  • KeyCode: A key code, such as vbKeyF1 (the F1 key) or vbKeyHome (the HOME key).
  • Shift: Specifies whether the Shift, Ctrl, or ALT keys were pressed.

Remarks

The control with focus receives all keystrokes, and this event is most commonly used for:

  • Extended character keys
  • Navigation keys
  • Combinations of keys with standard keyboard modifiers
  • Distinguishing between the numeric keypad and regular number keys

Note: This event is not invoked for the TAB key.

To determine between uppercase and lowercase, you must look at both the KeyCode and Shift arguments.
