[alfplaza]

I have a problem on a code i`m building, i need to simulate pressing the space bar key on a control Button that was built as an ActiveX but it doesnt allows to select it by pressing any other keys than the space bar.


Does anyone know how coul i make this work???.

Set the focus on your control and use SendKey to send the spacebar key, should workl...

SendKeys " " ?

Untested...
Maybe you can try SendKeys Chr(32)

How about SendKeys {SPACE} or
SendKEys {SP}.
That is not in the online help.

That works, it send the key "SPACE" to the command2 command button, and the msgbox pop up

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Me.Command2.SetFocus
    SendKeys " "
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
    MsgBox "pressed"
End Sub

JeffB - hope it helps
