ASCII Generator using VB 6.0

ASCII is one of the important functions of a program as it creates shortcut keys when pressed. ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Computers can only understand numbers, so an ASCII code is the numerical representation of a character such as 'a' or '@' or an action of some sort. Most computers use ASCII codes to represent text, which makes it possible to transfer data from one computer to another. So, in this article we will create a program that can generate ASCII Conversion when a key is pressed. Now, let's start this tutorial! 1.Let's start this tutorial by following the following steps in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0: Open Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, click Choose Standard EXE, and click Open. 2.Next, add two TextBox named Text1 for inputting the pressed key and Text2 for generating the ASCII equivalent of the pressed key. You must design your interface like this: 3. Now put this code for your code module. This code is for Text1_KeyPress:

Explanation:

We have first initialized variable strKey and strAScii As String. - This if statement above triggers to empty Text1 and Text2 when the text in Text1 and Text2 are not empty. Meaning to say, it wil only provide one input in Text1 as we have this KeyPress event. As you have seen, there is a KeyAscii Parameter there in Text1_Keypress. The KeyPress event occurs when any key that corresponds to an ASCII character is pressed. The ASCII character set represents not only the letters, digits, and punctuation on a standard keyboard but also most of the control keys. The keyascii argument returns an integer value corresponding to an ASCII character code. Then, the value of the KeyAscii will be equal to strAscii and it will be hold and displayed in Text2. Next, we have this Select Case statement in which we filter the pressed key of 'Enter', 'Backspace', 'Esc', and 'Spacebar'. Their Case (Integer) corresponds to their pressed key.
