If this is interactive, the event that passes KeyChar will already pass a Char type that will be the CONTROL-X.

If your trying to generate the value, then Control-X is really just what letter is X in the alphabet. Its the 24th letter, and in ASCII that would just be 24 or 0x18.

So maybe you want a constant for it that would just be Chr(24).
