I'm afraid I don't have any code to show, as I don't know where to begin with this. I'd like to have it so that if the user presses "Ctrl+O" it will run the OpenDialogue from the Menu. If someone really wants me to (don't see how it'd help, but whatever it takes ) I can post the fully functional open function.
View 4 RepliesSo recently my Netbook keyboard stopped working, I got this new one. That would not be a problem if it was not for the missing [FN] key. My computer has several shortcuts, like FN + F6 = Turns screen off.
I cant seem to figure out how to bind these shortcuts to buttons in Visual Basic so I can just hit the button and turn the screen off that way, I've only used VB to make small simple fun stuff.
I want to be able to edit my text box pretty much like you can with windows notepad..
in notepad, when you press CTRL + C , it copies, CTRL + V , pastes , and so on.
I am trying to assign a keyboard shortcut to a macro but "Press shortcut keys" textbox does not accept input. The "Remove" and "Assign" buttons are disabled. I have a command highlighted and I've tried in all the available "Keyboard Mapping Schemes". I've noticed that on some of the samples on "Modifying Keyboard Shortcuts" there were buttons for creating new mapping schemes. I'm assuming those are a visual studio version prior to mine - maybe 2003. Mine only contains the reset button.
View 2 Repliesi'm currently working on a security program and i need to temporarily disable some key combinations using vbnet. Key combinations such as: Ctrl-Alt-Delete, Alt-Tab, Alt-Esc, Win Keys, Alt Keys, Esc.

If it is checked, a user would have to press the ALT key to make the underline visible (for each form).

View 2 RepliesHow do I enable Ctrl+C, Ctrl + X and Ctrl+V for textboxes in my application? I can copy, cut and paste by right-clicking the textbox but keyboard shortcuts won't work...
