Of course you can just check when a user press Alt+Ctrl+(.) in the textbox
KeyDown event and type the ellipsis yourself. Yes, but a dot (.) will appear
directly after the ellipsis. I found a way how you can escape typing a dot.
See the following code:
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = 190 Then ' 190 is a code for the dot (.) If Shift = vbCtrlMask + vbAltMask Then
TextBox1.SelText = Chr(133)' 133 is a code for the ellipsis (...) ' You need to lock the textbox to avoid typing the dot
TextBox1.Locked = True End If End If End Sub Private Sub TextBox1_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = 190 Then If Shift = vbCtrlMask + vbAltMask Then ' You need to unlock the textbox to give an opportunity ' to a user to type a text further
TextBox1.Locked = False End If End If End Sub
