The KeyDown event syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object A ButtonEx object.
Index An integer that uniquely identifies a control if it's in a control array.
KeyCode An Integer value. A key code, such as vbKeyF1 (the F1 key) or vbKeyHome (the HOME key).
Shift An Integer value. 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.
