View 1 RepliesI've been working on a GUI in WPF which I'm fairly new to, having only used Windows Forms up until now. So far, my GUI is very simple: it contains two rectangles, each of which drops a shadow. The shadow creates an effect of rectangles "floating above the canvas" so to speak.
When one of the rectangles is pressed, the myRectangle.MouseDown event is handled such that the shadow goes away, thus creating an effect of the rectangle being pressed down onto the canvas, like a button.Similarly, when mouse button is released, the myRectangle.MouseDown event is handled such that the shadow reappears and the rectangle "floats" again. This behavior make them resemble buttons. Note, there a reasons I want them to be rectangles and not custom buttons.
[Code]...
If the pointer leaves a rectangle while mouse button is pressed, I'd like shadow to reappear. This is arguable simple, because theoretically in this case, any time myRectangle.MouseLeave is raised, the shadow should come back on, even if it was already there.If the pointer left a rectangle when mouse button was pressed, then came back while before the button was released, I want the shadow to disappear again. This one is what gives me problems. No idea how to do this.
My computer is set for lets say a 15 minute begore the screensaver and passwork have to be re-entered.Is there a way using VB to simulate a keypress or mouse movement if no key was pressed or mouse moved within the 15 minutes?
View 5 Replies[code] 'The description for the state.getbuttons() is:'Public Function GetButtons() as Byte (is a array of buttons).'The high-order bit of the Byte is set if the corresponding button is down, 'and clear if the button is up or does not exist.This code is used to show if certain buttons of a GamePad/joystick are pressed using the DirectInput method (DirectX SDK).This code shows how many buttons are pressed simultaneously. So 00 for zero and 00 01 if two buttons are pressed. I would like to know what button exactly is pressed (some kind of unique code for each button). But I can't get it done.
1. Is there a way so show all the bits inside the state.getbuttons()? (maybe there is a unique combination for each button).
2. What does &H80 mean?
option:
If MouseButtons = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
MsgBox("Left Click")

I have microsoft force sidewinner joystick, how can i detect its pressed buttons(wheel turns, padels pressed) ?
View 3 Repliesso i have a (quite simple sounding) question about how should i count how many buttons ive pressed in the program since i started it e.g:
1. i start up
2. i press 2 times on one button and 1 time on another
3. a label should say how many times ive pressed all buttons since startup
how should the code be for that?
I wanna set up a panel, that will, when opend up will sit on the side of the screen. It will consist of around 8 or so large buttons each with a different name on them. When the buttons are clicked on they will send the keys Ctrl+shift+F9 for example. Each different button will have a different variation of keys that it will automaticly send. The idea behind this is that I will have another program running that will be se up to perform actions when certain keys are pressed (Autohotkey if your familiar).
Now I'll be honest, I dont have a clue with visual basic, or any code other than html, hence why I'm posting here hoping I can get some help. Can anyone provide me with some information on how to set up buttons or how to do this entire task?
I am having trouble with a blackjack game I am creating
I have buttons 1 - 13 (A-K)
I have 5 Textboxes which when the above buttons are pressed displays the values in the textboxes.
I also have one more textbox which adds up the values of the above 5 textboxes to give your Black Jack Total.
The problem I have is if an Ace (11) is in one of the textboxes and the Total Value exceeds 21 I need to have the Ace (11) change its value to 1 instead.
textbox 1 - 5 will be the card values
textbox6.text will be the total Value
I have tried......
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox1.text = 11 then textbox1.text = 1
This seems to work fine however it only solves the problem of an Ace (11) appearing in textbox1.text so i tried to repeat the code with the other boxes...
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox1.text = 11 then textbox1.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox2.text = 11 then textbox2.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox3.text = 11 then textbox3.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox4.text = 11 then textbox4.text = 1
if textbox6.text > 21 and textbox5.text = 11 then textbox5.text = 1
However this does not work and my program freezes?
I've been searching for the answer for this all over, but I can't seem to find the solution. I have no idea how do this. A code that triggers an event after multiple command buttons are pressed in a certain order. For example: I press Command1, then Command2, then Command8, then Command5, then an event happens. It's kind of similar to entering a code to activate something.

View 14 RepliesI'm looking for a way to find when no key is pressed. I'm creating a game and I have an animated characted. When you press the movement keys he moves and is animated. I need to know when no keys are being pressed so I can tell the animation to stop.
View 1 RepliesI am working on a WPF project in Visual Basic. In some textboxes I want to limit what the user should be able to type. The sub roughly looks like this:
Private Sub Intervall_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs) Handles Intervall.KeyDown
'Determine whether the keystroke is a digit from the digit keys on the top of the keyboard.
[Code]....
If the I type backspace or delete, keydown doesn't react, so these particular cases I've handled in KeyUp.
There are two problems with this code: The test If e.Key < Key.D0 only checks whether the user has pressed the key that contains 0 at the top of the keyboard. It is also possible to enter some other signs if the user presses shift, and this test doesn't discover whether the user presses shift. I therefore need to extract the actual character that the user entered, not only which key he or she entered, and check if this character is a legal one. This is easy in a Windows.Forms project; there I can use e.Keyvalue, but in my WPF project I don't get that alternative when I enter a dot after "e".
It's necessary to solve this problem in order to do the next step: The user should also be allowed to enter colon, as this textbox describes a time that an action should be performed. If I could check the content of the key pressed, this would be easy. The problem is that the test If e.Key = Key.OemPeriod returns true whether the user pressed shift or not, i.e. whether the user entered a period or a colon, which are on the same key on my keyboard, I don't know how it is on other standards of keyboards.
I have tried hard to find a solution for this on Google, [URL] and MSDN, but I haven't managed to find any articles or topics about this particular problem. Does anyone know how to do this in a WPF project?
I am new to VB.NET, Now i'm working with Events in VB.NET, I have two event methods, Mouse Click and Mouse Down for a single button in a form, I have displyed a message in each of these methods but only mouse down event is triggered. Why Mouse Click is not triggered? Similiarly I Did the same for Mouse Enter and Mouse Move for a particular button, in this case both the events are triggered.
View 2 RepliesI have a binding navigator in my project and it works just fine.My question is where, if at all, can I find the code that is run when the delete button on the navigator is pressed.My reason for wanting to know this is I want to be able to give the user a second chance when the delete button is pressed.I want to ask the user if they are sure that they want to delete the record by using a msgbox.If the user says yes I will delete if they say no then I do not want the record deleted.I tried putting logic in the BindingNavigator DeleteItem_Click but was not successful.

View 4 RepliesI don't know if this is really possible, the program can not use a mouse or anything that requires the use of the tab key (this would be considered a use of the mouse), is there a way to still add input into textboxes and hit buttons, kinda like the letter "q" takes the place of the tab button and letter "W" takes the place of the enter button, or this can't be done?

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to set up a WebBrowser control so that it will respond to the user pressing the mouse's Forward or Back buttons and navigate accordingly, regardless of where the cursor is located in the form. The WebBrowser control doesn't have any click event handlers, and I couldn't add one with AddHandler, so I'm not sure what to try. Searching here, I read about GetAsyncKeyState which can be used to get the status of the mousebuttons, but I don't know how I would use this to code an event handler for these buttons.

I've been trying to figure out a simple keypress handling event.I have the code working fine after hunting for a couple of days on the net but have a problem getting rid of the obnoxious bong that comes along with hitting the ENTER key.I've attempted some solutions on the web about changing the KeyAscii to 0 but under that method I cannot even get the program to recognize the key is even being pressed.The code I have so far is as follows and I'm just trying to get rid of the audible bong.
