Forms :: KeyDown/ Shortcut Key Does Not Work?
Oct 30, 2010
I'm working on a simple calculator program for work in VB.NET and I'd like it that an operation could be performed without a mouse click and instead by using the Enter key. So essentially I want the segment of the program that is usually run by button to have the ability to be run by the Enter key.I'm using VS2010.This is what I was trying to do but I suppose I'm not doing it correctly because the Enter key does not do anything when I press it.
Private Sub btnCalc_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles btnCalc.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.Enter[code]....

how to get a keydown even to work but in 2010 this seems to have changed
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
If e.Keycode = Keys.Enter Then
MsgBox("test")
End If
End Sub
Apparently "KeyCode" is not in use anymore..

I have formA.vb and I added some shortcut keys using the key_up event handler. Before coding the handler I change the keypreview property of the form to true. I added this code :
Private Sub IntRMA_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyUp If e.KeyCode = Keys.ControlKey And e.KeyCode = Keys.C Then
modcustomer.Show()
ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.ControlKey And e.KeyCode = Keys.T Then
Me.Button6.PerformClick()

Is there an easy way to get the corresponding keydata (keycode combination) for some value in that enum? I cannot find one, and creating a switch statement for all those is a bit overkill...The integer values of the enum elements are not keycodes, but some 'unknown' big numbers, so simply casting to int won't work.

I'm trying to extract the icon from a shortcut (lnk file), but I end up with the shortcut symbol in the lower-left hand corner of the image. How can I extract a shortcut's icon without this symbol?
Here's the code I'm using:
Dim ico As System.Drawing.Icon = System.Drawing.Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon("C:shortcut.lnk")

I was referred to this forum section for VB2008 questions instead of VB6, so Ill assume this is the right place to ask this question. Yes I copy/pasted.I'm EXTREMELY new to VB2008 and I was basically making a program that is used for "password storage" that will be used only by me, I have made a simple login page that will not allow new usernames/passwords and a simple text box-listbox-add-delete page for submitting and displaying what I wish. What Im trying to do is make it so every time I open the listbox form, you are prompted with the login form. Im not sure of a proper term for this as I just downloaded VB2008 2 days ago.

I have an issue with my .NET application and it can only be reproduced sometimes and only on client's location, which makes it extremely difficult to resolve. In the application the forms authentication is used. There is a login page to which every anonymous user is redirected. After user enters username and password, it redirects to DefaultURL or some predefined page. The problem is that sometimes when user enters correct username and password, it doesn't login, instead it just refreshes the login page without any error messages. After several tries of inputing username and password, user is able to login to the system.
See my login page Submit_Click code below:
Dim userName As String = tbUsername.Text
Dim password As String = tbPassword.Text
Dim returnUrl As String = Request("returnUrl")

I hava a form app, that runs hidden, with just a notify icon, the goal is control worker schedule and alert them for some things they have to do.My problem is,when i open a form (with TopMost = True), it works if the user is admin of the machine or domain admin, if the user is "regular" user, the form just don't open or shown to the screen.I believe that it has got something to do with write permissions in the app folder. I have a contextmenu that works great, even restoring the hidden main form, it just doesn't show/open the other form, without any error.Shouldn't .net use the user $temp folder to write something? If not what's the best way for the app use the EnvironmentVariable("temp")?

I have this weird issue:I developed an application with a sequence like this login form -> mainform (=mdi parent) --> some functionform (mdi-child)--> report form
The reportform contains a reportviewer and will display different dataset queries depending on the state of some radio buttons which are located on the previous form ('some function form'). When I run the project directly from the 'some function form' (set startup form for project) things work great. The report shows the correct data depending on choices made on the previous form.But....when I run the project all the way from login and mainform it doesn't work. Seems like the choices made on the "some function form' are not coming through to the report form.

I was sent here by someone else that said someone here might.Below. is the message I get every time I reboot. I am not sure if it's a .NetFrame Work 1.0 or 1.1 error or not. It may be Visual Basic as I really don't know. Also, may be where I uninstalled some program or another the wrong way, by just deleting the folder instead of using the add and remove programs. I did have 1 program uninstall in-correctly by Revo Pro Uninstaller also about the time I started getting this error. But, I do know in the header error box it does say ".NetFrame Work" though... I just adding these suggestion as it might help you know what the problem might be. I have XP Home 2002 with Service Pack 3 installed. I have repaired the .Net FrameWork 2.0, 3.0 , 3.5 and 4.0. I couldn't repair the 1.0 or the 1.1 as I have deleted my temp folders that must have had something the installer needed in them. I tried to repair them with the "Installer" located in the "Installer" folder but it ask for some file in the temp directory that I did not have so I had to cancel the repair.

I did a function to one of my projects to a DLL file, and when the user starts the function a icon for that function grows (to show that the function is open).When the user closes the function the icon should shrink back again. But i have some problem whit that.The problem is: when i open a other form, the icon shrinks even if i haven't closed the function.What make it strange is that i have 2 function like that, the first one is the one that is behaving like this and the second one works the same way, but the second icon do not shrink when i open a new form. The second icon only shrinks when i close that function.
Here is the code for the opening of the first function:
Private Sub MedlemskortToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MedlemskortToolStripMenuItem.Click
frmm = New Medlemdskort.Form1
frmm.datap = Application.StartupPath & "\database2.mdb"

I have a form created in VB.net. It is used to get some information form a user. The form is not bound to any data source.
A combobox on this form is used to enter a cost. I want the value entered by the user to be displayed using currency format. I have used the Format String Dialog that opens from the ellipses button on the FormatString property of the combobox and selected Currency. This put C2 into the FormatString property.
When I run my application, this format is not applied to the value entered into the combobox at the time the number is entered or when I leave the combobox.

I set the HourGlass, disable the button (to avoid ppl that are too used with FPS games), do the serial communication bit that last a couple of seconds, then the set the mouse back to normal and re-enable the button.And I have a few more like those through the software using text boxes or drop-down menus.[code]My form is set in design time to be KeyPreview = True and I even tried to set it again after the Click. The routine is simply not called and the ESC key on the keyboard does not hide the form anymore.
