Ok, so this is VERY simple to do IF I was working with a regular Textbox control. But of course, Microsoft does not have an "AcceptsReturn" property for a MaskedTextbox Control.
So, if the user finishes typing in the MaskedTextbox control and hits the [Enter] key.... How do I capture that key stroke with this type of control? Also, what if this MaskedTextbox is on a UserControl, not a regular WindowsForm?

View 2 RepliesI have a datagridview on a form. I have the .selectionmode set to FullRowSelect.
I use the datagridview.select to put the focus on the form. Pressing up/down arrows they navigate through the results.
How do I capture the enter button being pressed on the current row they have highlighted?
What I will do is take the ID field of that row, I just need to know how to capture the enter button being pressed in that datagridview.
I have been using the combo Box keypress event to capture the enter key when it is being pressed by the user within the combobox. The combo box style I am using is Drop Down. When there are no items in the combo box list the keypress event will capture the enter key. When I add any items to the list portion of the combo box the keypress event not longer captures the enter key. How do I capture the enter key when the combo box has items in its list.
View 1 RepliesI have alot of experience in working in VBA for excel, but not so much experience in creating my own structures so it's all still a bit foggy. I'm trying to capture the event for when the F1 key is pressed, not just when the form is active, but anytime the program is running. The code below expressing the handling is automatically generated for me in VB Express... But I'd like to change the situation to encompass anytime the program is open. I guess I have to reference events that happen in windows in general, but i don't know how to do it. I think i have to create the even in a class module?

I want to have a counter that measures when a mouse enters/leaves a form. To that extent I used the .mouseenter/.mouseleave commands. This works to an extent. The problem is that moving the mouse over any controls inside a form count as existing it- I don't want this. Is there a way to define the controls as a part of the form? Meaning- if the mouse was over one of my labels- it would count as being within the form. A less elegant way to measure form access could be to use the form positioning, and define capture any mouse movement within it.

I'd like to create a WebBrowser for the purpose of taking a screenshot of a website. Once its finished it will update a thumbnail image in a ListView. I'd like the whole operation to be done in the background so the UI remains responsive.I toyed with Creating the WebBrowser in a new thread and calling Navigate. I can use a loop to watch for the ReadyState of the webbrowser before I do the screencapture. However it will only continue with the thread if I use Application.DoEvents in that loop. I've never been a huge fan of doing this and would prefer to watch for an event instead. However if I add a handles clause to the WebBrowser it doesn't fire (I tried creating the WebBrowser in the thread, and also tried by declaring it as shared within the class scope).

I've been searching all over and I'm either not searching for the right words or it just doesn't exist. I've got a datagridview (dgv) on a form with some textboxes that are databound to different fields in the dgv's datasource. I want to capture an event if someone changes a value through one of the databound controls so I can mark the row as modified. I've been going through the dgv events trying to capture something, but I can't find anything that fires when a value is changed. The dgv is read only, so the values can only be changed through the databount textboxes.
How to I know if someone changes a value in the dgv? Is there a setting in the dgv that will tell me if a row is modified?

View 2 RepliesI know generally it is not the best solution for a child to handle an event of parent. Take this for example; Mainform loads UserControlOne, UserControlOne handles all UserControlOne needs to. How ever we need a MenuStrip/ToolStrip. MainForm does not need to know much about what UserControlOne is doing. Other then receive some information on a statusbar. Right now events are controlling this.
The menustrip/toolstrip need to be able to speak to UserControlOne, for example when buttons are clicked on the strips. Would you; Allow the child to add a handler to capture the parents event? Move the MenuStrip/ToolStrip/StatusStrip all to UserControlOne so we can ignore all this event hassle? My Major concern with this is now we have taken all the head ache away from MainForm and crushed it into UserControlOne. Any suggestions?

View 3 RepliesHow To Design an Outlook AddIn to capture New Mail Event In Vb .net. I've been able to use code to read the number of unread email messages in an Outlook Inbox.

I am writing an outlook addin that is supposed to check for any new email messages. I am trying to attach to the send/receive action that occurs within Outlook (Either auto S/R or manual S/R). I have read on a forum online that there is no such event as a Send'Receive, how ever you can use a NewMailEvent. Can anyone demonstrate how this could be done in VB 2005/2008?

In a Windows XP Pro environment, my system uses a mainframe emulator in a window in which a scanning application is running. The data populating the mainframe app comes from various instruments, scales, barcode scanners, etc.. The data inputs are captured by a winwedge type RS232 data aquisition software.
When all the data is processed correctly, the mainframe application sends an "operation completed" message and creates an exclamation system event associated with a specific sound to inform the user.
My goal is to create a MS Access application that would use the Exclamation system event to validate writing the barcode that was just read to a database without further querying the mainframe, creating a local database. I only want to write the barcode when the mainframe application completed and therefore played the sound.
