View 1 RepliesI need to detect shift + arrow key in blank form. But it's not working. I also tried overriding IsInputKey method but it only detects single key press (like arrow key) but when multiple key are pressed it simply doesn't work.

View 6 RepliesI am trying to discover how to detect that a form has been resized, or rather, that a form is being resized. I need to call a sub to handle the resizing of text in relation to the new size of a form or control. I have found that setting a minimum height and width works behind the scene so I figure there must be something watching the form size but can't find what or where it is.

View 1 RepliesOk before I get flamed hear me out. I have a form with panels containing tablelayoutpanels containing various amounts of controls that alternate visibility. On the form in its entirety I am looking at roughly 3200 controls most of which are radio buttons.
Now that being said, I am trying to figure out a way to capture what control (mainly radiobutton) is being clicked on through the forms events. So far my attempts have failed with mousedown, mouseclick, etc. Yes I know I can use the "handles radiobutton1.Clicked" event directly. However with that many radiobuttons....I know that there has to be a better way to do this. An API, windows hook, something. So far my efforts to find an alternative method have failed.
just now I was trying to capture the F1 key on the form, but only managed when the form is selected, and I need to detect it in any form control. I used this code:
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.F1
MsgBox("Right")
e.Handled = True
End Select
I'm making an app that will be able to repeat the user's mouse movement, and also clicks.I have managed to repeat the movement but i have no idea where to start in detecting click outside of form..

I need a way to detect when a child form has been closed. I've created an MdiWindowList thing (but in the form of a toolbar with buttons, similarly to the Windows taskbar), and everything works great, but the method I have for refreshing the taskbar's windows has to be called when a child form closes. I've trying calling the method from the child's Form_Closing event, but there's a slight lag so whenever there's more than 1 window open the first one gets skipped (then the others close properly, since the taskbar is being refreshed first before the form actually closes).
View 10 RepliesI want to detect if a window form is open and if it is then I would like to bring it in front rather than opening it again. I know I need a form collection for this but I want to know if there is a built in form collection that holds all the forms in VB.NET or I need to implement my own.
View 3 RepliesI have developed a Component and I want it to be able to detect when it's running in the IDE.
Or, let me rephrase that - I want my component to be able to detect when its parent form is running in the IDE.
I can use .DesignMode and a few other methods to detect when my component is running in the IDE (For example when my component is placed on a form etc)
But when the parent form is executed from within the IDE then .DesignMode returns false.
Is it possible for a component to detect if its parent (the form) was started via an IDE/Designer ? or via the command line/start menu or what ?
What is happening now: i click the area in the taskbar which "belongs" to my form, while it is being shown, the form remains "shown"
what i hope to get done: if the form is "shown" and i click the taskbar of my form, i want it hidden
could we detect click event of the form's area in the taskbar?
if any one knows of a way to determine if a control is currently in the viewable area of the parent form. In example...if I have a form where all controls are visible when the form is maximized, how would I go about determining which controls are no longer visible to the user after they change the window state or form size. To be clear I am not talking about the visible property of a control but rather if the control is actually on screen for the user to see when they do something like resize the main form for instance.
View 5 RepliesI have been searching the forums but I keep finding ways to cause events to occur when a key is pressed. I'm trying to get a true/false if the "ctrl" + "L" keys are pressed when the form loads so it know whether to show itself or close
View 15 RepliesI have created a User Control and would like to be able to detect when the user clicks on the Form.I have seen this question which is related but the suggestion to use the the Leave event doesn't always do what I want because the focus doesn't necessarily change when the user clicks the Form (my control could be the only control on the Form in which case focus stays with my control).I want to be able to do something like this from within the User Control:[code]
View 2 RepliesI have searched everywhere, and have not found an answer. I would like to know how to enable your form to detect if a process is started. Something like this:
If Process.Start("Process.exe") Then
MsgBox("Process is running")
Else
MsgBox("Process is not running")
End If
I know you have to use WM_EXITSIZEMOVE or whatever it is, but I'm just not really sure how to use messages properly...I've read a few things online but just can't get it to work properly.
I'm looking into making child forms dockable inside my parent form and want to know when to hide my dock labels again (after the child form has stopped being moved).
Anybody know a way to detect and set the form size in the child and MDIParent forms?
I'm having all kinds of problems from scroll bars popping up, to can't get the form to fill the parent. Pretty sure I have tried every possible combination in the forms properties 10 times.
I'm really getting tired of beating myself against this. Anybody seen a good tutorial on the finer points of MDIparent / MDI Child page size, etc.

View 5 Replies[URL] In my Windows Form, I wanted the user to give an option to draw all over the form. But, if the user while drawing, enters the region 1, I want to assign a value to variable, say a=1. Correspondingly, if the user without leaving the mouse button previously enter the region 4, I want to b=1.After the user leaves the mouse button, I wanted to compare a and b. If both of them are equal, then Result=Done else not.
View 3 RepliesI am currently investigating vb gaming and have set up a test project to move an object; it moves fine. The problem is that when it reaches the edge of the form it continues to move and eventually leaves the form entirely. So my question is how do i work out if my object has touched the edge of the form?
View 5 Repliesthere is any event or way to detect activity in an form or project?in the form and all the child controls.
mainly mouse clicks (not mousemove) and key press.
for example, if the form have not activity in the lasts 10 minutes, do something.
I have already done the creation of button and the dragging of button at runtime already.But now i need to know how do i save the last dragged button on the form and also detect the name of the last clicked button.so lets say i now drag a button to coordinates 25,254. so when i exit the form and the next time i launch it, the button will still be at 25,254. and this one will go on for the number of button i created like 100. so when i launch the form the 100 button will be at the exact position where i last saved them.the second part is lets say i created button1 and button2 on the form in runtime. so when i clicked the first button, it should display button1. and if i clicked on button 2, it should say button2. same goes for like 100buttons.

Almost each letter of my mother tongue (Arabic) has two or more forms to be written with, due to its position (At the beginning, middle or end of a word) and what are the two letters before and after it, however, I've been trying to figure why when I type something in a textbox and use the AscW method to get the character code, it returns a code for the same character but not of the same form, which means:
If I type a word starting with the letter above, the letter would be in the initial form (its Unicode is &HFED3 = 65235) , but when I use the AscW to get the code of the first character it returns the code (&H641 = 1601) of the same letter in actually none of the previous forms but apparently in the isolated form (&HFED1 = 65233).I've also tried to convert the default encoding to the Unicode's but had no accepted result and no solution through reading the two Unicode bytes (which had to be [211, 254]).
P.S. I tried something else:
TextBox1.Text = ChrW(&HFED3)
Msgbox(AscW(TextBox1.Text(0)))
to check if the problem is the AscW method, but it worked just fine, I have another idea running through my mind but I'm still not sure about it .So, is there any way to detect the actual form of a Unicode character?
In a large old application I have to fix, I have two forms, like in the image (that is a Notepad example)
When I leave (with mouse cursor) my small(Y) form's area, that form will "disappear", some like I'd clicked on the big form and activated it.
But I didn't click on X, neither the X caption is active, however the small Y form goes backward and is not visible anymore.
How to track the problem?
Any of Resize, Activated, Deactivate, LostFocus, GotFocus, GiveFeedback, MdiChildActivate is not tracked on any of both forms when I leave the Y area...
