View 2 RepliesI've recently run into an unexplainable issue regarding a windows form application I am working on. I've managed to isolate the issue to a single line of code whereby a single TabPage is removed from a TabControl, leaving no tabs left in the TabControl's collection. What happens next is a bit mystifying: my application proceeds to enter a state in which the main form's Activate event is fired subsequently followed by its Deactivate event. As a result, no matter where I click on the form, the application will activate for a split-second then immediately deactivate itself, thereby causing me to be unable to interact with any other GUI controls on the form. I thought maybe another thread is trying to interact with the deleted tab object, but the tab is created and destroyed on the same main gui thread. Does anyone have any insight that may point me in at least a new direction? Stepping through the debugger to the point in code where the tab is removed does not cause any exception to get thrown, so at first glance there doesn't appear to be any coding issues going on (although I would not be surprised that is actually the case!).

I 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 5 RepliesI'm using VB.NET (2008) and .NET framework 3.5. In my application I've got an on screen button that, when pressed, sends "00" as the characters [via SendKeys.Send("00")]. I also have a keyboard that has a '00' key that sends "00", two zeros, when pressed. I'm picking up the keypress using the form's KeyDown event - it fires twice, once for each "0" and works whether the on-screen or keyboard '00' is pressed. There's also a singe '0' on-screen button and key on the keyboard that sends "0".
I want to be able to treat the "00" as a single event. I.E. in the KeyDown handler, if the character is a single zero "0", I would like to check the next character to see if it is also a zero "0". If it is then I can handle it appropriately, but also need to remove it (from the keyboard buffer?) so that it doesn't fire the second KeyDown event. If it's not a zero then it should be left to fire the next event in the normal fashion.
When I put the command in the form_keyDown event that if I pressed the Ctrl+s, run the some instruction, when the focus in the one textbox control, run one beep sound Simultaneously with the instruction.

View 1 RepliesI have this code in the onKeyDown event of the datagridview.
Private Sub DataGridView1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode[code]....
This works. When the Enter button is pressed, it acts as the TAB button.The problem I am having is this only works if the datagridviewer is selected.As soon as I enter data into a cell (A cell is selected) the code wont work as it is not set for the cell keyDown event. The event does not exist, so I have to somehow create it.
This is a non-MDI windows application. I have a home form containing a panel named Panel1 and two buttons btnForm1 and btnForm2. Clicking btnForm1 and btnForm2 opens up Form1 and Form2 respectively in Panel1. Before a form is opened in Panel1, all opened forms in Panel1 are cleared. The code follows:[code...]
In which events should the above lines be written? In MDI apps this could have been accomplished by including them in Form_Activated and Form_Deactivate events respectively.
But here neither Activated nor Deactivate events fire when you open forms in frmHome.Panel1. Instead of Activated and Deactivate you can use Form_Load an Form_FormClosed events but they will only merge/unmerge menus if existing forms are closed before opening a new form in the panel.
But as I sometimes need forms to be opened and closed keeping existing forms opened, using these events won't fulfill the task. Even the GotFocus and LostFocus events won't work. So I want Activated and Deactivate events to be fired or some other means by which the menus and toolstrips can be merged/unmerged when the form gains/looses focus respectively.
this code works

View 1 RepliesI have checked my code countless times, tried other computers, and yet the keydown event will not work.
My code:Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeyRight Then
imgPerson.Left = imgPerson.Left + 500
End If
End Sub
That's all there is because I was just testing it out. imgPerson does exist, so that's not a problem.

View 7 RepliesI am running VS 2008 and building my app on a Windows 7 box. The main form/window has a KeyDown event handler as follows in it:
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
MsgBox("control = " + e.Control.ToString + ", shift = " + e.Shift.ToString + ", e.Keycode = " + e.KeyCode.ToString)
When I build it and run it within VS it seems to run fine. The messagebox appears with the state of the control and shift keys along with the key code of the key I pressed. However, if I take the executable and run it on an XP box (both using .Net Runtime 3.5) as soon as the main form opens, the messagebox appears. Basically the "KeyDown" event seems to be firing without any keys being pressed. The messagebox comes back with: "control = False, shift = False, e.Keycode = None".
How is this possible? How can the keyDown event be fired when no keys have been pressed (as is confirmed by the output contained in the messagebox?) how I can diagnose this on the XP box since it does not have Visual Studio on it?Update I tried creating a brand new project where there is only "form1" and the only code behind this is the keyDown event handler. It just opens a blank window and pops up the message box if a key is pressed. It worked as expected on the Win 7 box but when I moved the executable to the XP box, it immediately popped open the messagebox without pressing a key.
I need to make a simple yet cool program for my professor. The program is this: To get the program to work, the user first presses a button on the form. Then, when the user presses an up arrow on the keyboard, the cursor will change to a custom cursor (a cursor with an image of car {in .ico format} for example), when the user releases the up arrow key, the cursor turns back to default cursor -- which is arrow. When the user presses an up arrow and left arrow at the same time on the keyboard, then a different custom cursor will be shown instead of the default.

At the moment i am using a Select Case:
Select Case e.Key
'Numpad Numbers Keydown Events'
Case Key.NumPad0
Display.Append("0")
txtAnswer.Text = Display.ToString
Case Key.NumPad1
Display.Append("1")
txtAnswer.Text = Display.ToString
However, I can't find a key. thing to work with the numpad function buttons.
I tried using:
Case AscW(Chr(107))
Display.Append("+")
txtAnswer.Text = Display.ToString
But it didn't work,
I want to make it so that no matter which control has focus, it will do my event. So that I dont have to write a keydown event for all 137 of my objects. Is this possible?
View 2 RepliesI already have KeyPreview set to true in the form properties I'm working on a small program, and I'm having a problem where it seems that some of the controls on it inside groupboxes are not triggering the KeyDown event on my form when I press and release any arrow key, just the KeyUp event. Specifically, I've enabled KeyPreview on the form, and set breakpoints on e.SuppressKeyPress = True in both subroutines, and only the one for frmMain_KeyUp hits the breakpoint.
I added in the two GroupBox events hoping that might mitigate the issue, but no such luck. However, I have a custom control on the form that is specifically coded to ignore these keypresses, and the code works as expected on it.
Private Sub frmMain_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown, GroupBox1.KeyDown, GroupBox2.KeyDown
e.SuppressKeyPress = True
Select Case e.KeyCode
[code]....
The code in the user control that "ignores" keypresses is as such:
Private Sub TileDropDown_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
If e.KeyValue = 40 OrElse e.KeyValue = 38 OrElse e.KeyValue = 39 OrElse e.KeyValue = 37 Then
e.SuppressKeyPress = True
End If
End Sub
short question: What's better?
Form KeyDown event vb Private Sub MainForm_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown End Sub

View 6 RepliesI'm using a webBrowser control as a simple HTML editor & I'm trying to stop the default action of creating a new <p> (paragraph) element every time you hit the enter key while typing text into the control.
I have added a handler for the keyDown event & I can insert a break tag, but nothing I do seems to be able to stop the webBrowser from continuing to process the event.
As you can see in the code I tried setting the e.BubbleEvent to false to stop the event.
The added event handler works just fine & executes before the webBrowser processes the event, but setting the e.BubbleEvent=False (or true) has no effect.[code]...
