Mouse and Key handler sample

Hi,
I tried to implement handlers for mouse and keyboard event handlers as follows:

Source code

Option Explicit

Public Sub Applet_Click()
   trace "Applet clicked!"
End Sub

Public Sub Applet_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
   trace "KeyDown: KeyCode=" & KeyCode & " Shift=" & Shift
End Sub

Public Sub Applet_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
   trace "KeyPress: KeyAscii=" & KeyAscii
End Sub

Public Sub Applet_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
   trace "KeyDown: KeyCode=" & KeyCode & " Shift=" & Shift
End Sub

Public Sub Applet_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
   trace "MouseMove: Button=" & Button & " Shift=" & Shift & " X=" & X & " Y=" & Y
End Sub

Private Sub trace(msg As String)
   text1.AppendText msg & vbCrLf
   refresh
End Sub


The Click and MouseMove handlers do work as expected.

Whenever I press the ALT key during mouse movements, I get the following exception:

The KeyUp, KeyPress, and KeyDown handlers don't seem to work.

Greetings!
