Using the function keys

[Bobby227]

Thanks for the welcome.

Another question that may seem silly, are the function keys usable just that same as all other keys?

How do i tell QBasic to begin another SUB on the press of F1 for example?

Thanks for your help

to get all key codes check this tutorial http://www.petesqbsite.com/sections/tut ... ycodes.txt

but this should work

Code: Select all

key$=""

do
key$=inkey$
loop until key$<>""

if key$=CHR$(0) + CHR$(59) then CALL yoursub

CALL isn't required; it's mainly in there for compatibility reasons.

there are two ways to create a SUB or FUNCTION,
(A) using the menu bar you would touch Alt, E, S.
(B) just writing a line in the editor this way
SUB yourname (parameter)
and then just press Enter.
to go in and out the SUBs and FUNCTIONs press F2.

I don't think that's what he was asking Atrapado...

But anyway, just use that tutorial in the first reply, dude.
