How would I check if a key is currently being pressed?
Also how would I detect if a key is pressed without using the KeyDown event. The reason I am not using the keydown event is when the user holds down a key it calls the event, waits a second than keeps calling it. I do not want the wait period if a user is holding down a key.

View 1 RepliesThis may sound like a dumb question but I need to know. I know you can tell which keys are pressed on the keyboard but I like to know if I can do something.Ok, heres what I am trying to do. A user is in another program that is max on the screen. He has to press Print Screen to take a screenshot, but he got to min the screen he is in to paste the screenshot into paint. This causes slow loads on maxing that screen and sometimes crashs of the program. I already got the code done to check when the program is running and to capture the screenshot and save it. What I to do now is, find out while in the other program with my program running in the background, if the user has pushed the Print Screen button.

View 6 RepliesI want to make it so that if the key 'shift' is pressed it does something. I have this VB.Net
If Keys.Shift = 1 then
MessageBox.Show("pressed shift")
I have a webform and i want to detect if F5 button was pressed or if the page was refreshed. I know about postback but it is not what i'm looking for. I have a gridview that loads in a modal popup when a button is clicked and a parameter's value is set for the gridview. When refresh is hit and if the modal popup button was previously clicked the modal popup is visible right after refresh. I want to detect if the page is refreshed to prevent this. any ideas? I thought to try Override but I'm not exactly sure how to use it. I tried Control.ModifierKeys but I don't have access to ModifierKeys.

I am making a Tetris program and I have a 2d array 10 by 20 for the grid.I want the Tetris blocks I have created to move down one block every second unless the user presses "a" or "d" (to move left or right) then the block should move left or right whilst moving down.The problem is that I have created a loop for it to delay a bit but then it waits for the user to press a key until it continues the program. So the block will stop moving down and just stay where it is until they press something.I have been told that you can do this in C with something like if keyboardhit or kybd() or something then it will read the key but otherwise it will just skip that bit and loop round. So how can I do this in VB?

I know that you cannot disable Ctrl Alt Del for security reasons. I was able to figure out how to disable ALT+F4 in my application though. What I am wanting to know is if anyone can give me some code to where If CTRL ALT DEL is pressed then my application will close. I have tried everything, and I just cannot seem to get the program to recognize if the user presses ctrl alt delete.
So basically I need some code that detects if a user presses ctrl alt delete then if htye did it closes the application.

PS: I am on Windows 7 RC and I also use Windows Vista. I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition.
I have a series of textboxes that I need the user to be able to navigate. When the last textbox in the series is filled I want the cursor to go to the first box in the series and have the next row in the datagridview selected. The problem is, for some reason, the tab button being pressed (keyup, keydown, and keypress) is not being detected by the conventional handling of those events. Instead, the tab on that box goes to the next item in the tab index.How would I capture that key or key press event and execute my code?
View 3 RepliesI have a few problems with my VB.NET project. I am making an application that should track every key inputted by the user. This may sound scarily like a keylogger, but it is intended for statistics purpose only. All data is stored on the client's computer and will not be sent anywhere on a network or the Internet.
The problem is actually figuring whether or not a key is pressed globally. That means, not in a KeyDown, KeyUp or KeyPress event. Let's say if the user inputs anything in Microsoft Word, my application will notice.
I have already tried this code. It gives PInvokeStackImbalance errors in the MDA. It has actually worked out for another application I am making, until I figured the severity of this error.
