I have a webbrowser control on a form and try to navigate to one specific site. It seems to me that the remote detects that call is from a desktop program and redirect it. Is it possible? and if it is how I can hide it.
View 1 RepliesI am learning C# after tried Java. Ive tried to program a program that can detect keystrokes, however when i add onKeyDown on my form it work but only one key at a time. So ive tried to add my e.keycode detect to a timer and got error. private void key_Tick(object sender, System.EventArgs e, KeyEventArgs e)
That wont work and the timer wont run becuase i have 2 Args. Im really lost and do not really understand
When a user types into a VB.Net textbox, I want to detect the key press (assuming I cannot read the text from the textbox after its written). This is easy for English (by using e.KeyChar or Keys.[A, B, C, ...etc]). However, if I change my default keyboard in Windows from English to another language, say Arabic or Farsi, still the English characters are detected (although Arabic or Farsi is being typed in).

I am not sure if this code works yet because the keypressed event is not triggered when I push a key. Could someone tell me how I can change my code so that it will test what key is pressed, no matter what control on the form has focus?
i know this has to be simple but i can find anything anywhere tonight on how to check if while a textbox has focus if the ctrl+v or ctrl+c was pressed i simply need to use it like such:[code]

As part of a program that I am composing, the user needs to enter a value by way of a NumericUpDown control on one particular form. Once this and other criteria have been evaluated, the program will then move to the next "step" of the program. If they use the spinner built into the NumericUpDown control, the event is fired on every change and that's all well and good, but if they double-click the value in the control then type the value in manually, it doesn't fire until the control no longer has focus. I can't depend that this might be the case however. Using the "KeyPress" event, I can in fact know when the control has focus and the user has typed but what I cannot seem to get it to do is to get the control to "read" these keystrokes as values until the control loses focus.
View 3 RepliesI have a VB.NET program that has a WebBrowser control on one of the forms. I need to have the program automatically access some data on a website, so I need to log in using the available Java interface.
The simplest way to do that seems to be to simply type in the WebBrowser; the Java code will automatically accept that into the correct text field. The program must remain unfocused while this is running, so SendKeys is not an option. Therefore, I'd like to use SendMessageA to tell the WebBrowser I'm typing in it. I've tried using KeyDown and KeyUp as follows (to send the keypress "0", in this case), but that isn't doing it.[code]...
I have a TextBox which Is allowed only to read certain characters. I use KeyPress event to handle this event. I understand that The KeyPress event does not handle the pressing of the DELETE key on the keyboard. I do not want the user to be able to delete characters in the txtbox by using the DELETE key, I want the user only to be able to use the backspace key. I am writing this code in Visual Basic 2005. The following code appears to work in handling the DELETE key, but I am concerned that I might get bitten by the fact that I am using KeyDown and KeyPress on the same control (txtSource).
private sub txtSource_KeyDown(byval sender as object, byval e as KeyEventArgs) handles txtSource.KeyDown
IF e.KeyData = System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Delete then
e.handled=true
end if
end sub

I was asked to create an application that has a custom control that acts as a button. I managed to do almost all the requirements except the one for the KeyPress event. The customer wants to click the "Alt + C (for example)" to trigger the button click event in this case for a Cancel button. I did the code and it works fine ONLY when that custom control has the focus on it. But when it loses it, it doesn't. I don't know how to make the form accepts that KeyPress and sends to the custom control. I tried to set the form's KeyPreview property of the form to Ture but it didn't work too.
By the way, I know that it would work by writing the code in the KeyPress of the form but that's not the requirement because the user control will be used as a standalone component for many projects.
I have several multi-line textboxes that I want to lose focus (i.e. when the user presses the right arrow key) but the control wil not relinquish the focus.Simply put, I first verify if the selection start is at the end of the text, if it is, and the user presses the arrow key, it should move to the next textbox. some debug.print code placed in strategic locations indicates that the target textbox gets focus and immediately loses it and the source textbox gains focus once again. Essentially not allowing the textbox to lose focus.
Select Case
Case Keys.Right
tbRight.Focus()
[code]....
After changing the source textbox multi-line property to false, it behaves as expected. Is this a "feature" .. surely I don't have to resort to "SendKeys"
I have a application written in C# using a usercontrol which inherites from control.

I working on a project that includes to call a certain type of method to each control, i have this code:

ok so i have a PANEL control under a WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER control. Both are same size.
The panel has a click event which shows a message saying "HI"

View 3 RepliesAnybody 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.
How to detect if a particular control has a particular property?
I am considering writing a generic routine and I would like to know how you can detect whether a particular object has a particular property?
Something like this code:
If HasImageProperty(myObject) = True Then
EndIf
I guess reflection would be used here, but I am not very familiar with reflection.

View 2 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 did a research but I can't find what I wanted. How I can detect the mouse that if I have move it or not?
I hope this is the last things I needs for the day.
