hi chris

the activeX TreeView does not give me the keycode as an Asci code. after research i found that it is actualy VBKeyCode. for example: user presses an "a" it will be returned as an "A" (code: 65), a 1 as a 1, but a "-" as "¨`" (code: 189). since i need asci code in the keypress of the form i've got a problem.
and for some reason the activeX does not allow the form to preview the keypress event, so i need to foreward the event manualy to the form.
