Exontrol - FolderView ActiveX, NET Control

Use KeyDown and KeyUp event procedures if you need to respond to both the pressing and releasing of a key. By default, the Refresh method is called when the user presses the F5 key. You test for a condition by first assigning each result to a temporary integer variable and then comparing shift to a bit mask. Use the And operator with the shift argument to test whether the condition is greater than 0, indicating that the modifier was pressed, as in this example:

ShiftDown = (Shift And 1) > 0
CtrlDown = (Shift And 2) > 0
AltDown = (Shift And 4) > 0
In a procedure, you can test for any combination of conditions, as in this example:
If AltDown And CtrlDown Then

The following VB sample starts renaming the selected folder, when the user presses the F2 key:

Private Sub ExFolderView1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
    If (KeyCode = vbKeyF2) Then
        ExFolderView1.SelectedFolder.InvokeRename
    End If
End Sub

The following VB sample displays the object's Properties dialog, when the user presses the F2 key:

Private Sub ExFolderView1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
    If (KeyCode = vbKeyF2) Then
        ExFolderView1.SelectedFolder.InvokeCommand ("Properties")
    End If
End Sub

		Type	Description
		KeyCode as Integer	An integer that represent the key code.
		Shift as Integer	An integer that corresponds to the state of the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys at the time of the event. The shift argument is a bit field with the least-significant bits corresponding to the SHIFT key (bit 0), the CTRL key (bit 1), and the ALT key (bit 2). These bits correspond to the values 1, 2, and 4, respectively. Some, all, or none of the bits can be set, indicating that some, all, or none of the keys are pressed. For example, if both CTRL and ALT are pressed, the value of shift is 6.
