Easy question

Someone should be able to help me on this one. I currently have a loop, how do I perform the loop until someone presses any key. Or better yet, perform it until someone presses ESC. Thank you

 

A loop in what context? In the context of a program looping a statement until the escape key is pressed?

 

yes loop a statement until the Esc key is pressed.

 

It depends on the language your programming in but you need to use a Do While loop or the equilvalent.

Do (while test is False)

Whatever you want to do

Test

Loop

 

I'm sorry I forgot that. Visual Basic 6. I know the structure for it, but just can't figure out the command that would do it.

Do while (Command goes here) = false

Loop

or something that does the same thing. Thank you

 

Here is a simple example:

Private blnContinue As Boolean

Private Sub Command1_Click()
blnContinue = True
Do While blnContinue
Text1.Text = Now()
DoEvents
Loop
End Sub

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeyEscape Then
blnContinue = False
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.KeyPreview = True
End Sub
