View 3 RepliesI need to check if the SHIFT or CTRL keys are being pressed in my VB.net application? (get a boolean)
View 3 RepliesHow would I check if a key is currently being pressed?
Also how would I detect if a key is pressed without using the KeyDown event. The reason I am not using the keydown event is when the user holds down a key it calls the event, waits a second than keeps calling it. I do not want the wait period if a user is holding down a key.
All i wish to do is have some simple code, which can detect when the esc key is pressed, (if possible can you point out where i need to change to set it for an other key).

View 1 RepliesThis may sound like a dumb question but I need to know. I know you can tell which keys are pressed on the keyboard but I like to know if I can do something.Ok, heres what I am trying to do. A user is in another program that is max on the screen. He has to press Print Screen to take a screenshot, but he got to min the screen he is in to paste the screenshot into paint. This causes slow loads on maxing that screen and sometimes crashs of the program. I already got the code done to check when the program is running and to capture the screenshot and save it. What I to do now is, find out while in the other program with my program running in the background, if the user has pushed the Print Screen button.

I have a webform and i want to detect if F5 button was pressed or if the page was refreshed. I know about postback but it is not what i'm looking for. I have a gridview that loads in a modal popup when a button is clicked and a parameter's value is set for the gridview. When refresh is hit and if the modal popup button was previously clicked the modal popup is visible right after refresh. I want to detect if the page is refreshed to prevent this. any ideas? I thought to try Override but I'm not exactly sure how to use it. I tried Control.ModifierKeys but I don't have access to ModifierKeys.

What is the keyValue I need for checking for the DELETE key using e.keyValue?
Im doing a small project in visual basic which involves lighting up leds through the parallel port and turning them on and of. each led is controlled by a checkbox on my form and they only come on when the checkbox is checked.
what code do i need to use to have the checkbox checked when a key is pressed but when the key is released the checkbox is unchecked i have already tried keydown which will check the box when a key is pressed but will not uncheck it when the key is released
If e.KeyValue = Keys.A Then
CheckPin1.CheckState = CheckState.Checked
ElseIf e.KeyValue <> Keys.A Then
CheckPin1.CheckState = CheckState.Unchecked
End If
