I want to validate all the characters. How I can make the event keypress validate all characters in a text box?
I have the below code on the KeyPress event of a textbox howver a need has now come in meaning I have to do myTextbox.Text = "A input string"
Private Sub ChequeAmountKeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtChequeAmount.KeyPress
Dim tb As TextBox = sender
If (e.KeyChar = "." AndAlso tb.Text.Length = 0) Then
e.Handled = True
[Code]...
This input string could contain a format that I do not want and whilst the keypress event caters for the need when the user is typing I need to handle it in the case of a text assignment.I thought firing the keypress event after I assigned the text property but I dont think that will offer what I want.
how can I detect if press Enter in the Textbox Change event and not in Textbox Keypress?
View 3 Repliesanyone know how to invoke the KeyPress event ? This code shows what I would like to do, but it simply calls the eventhandler and does not insert the text into the text box, so is not what I want/need.

View 2 RepliesI 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"
In connection with a windows form's text control the keypress event handler provides a key's identity through the KeyChar property of the event argument. This works fine for all alphanumeric keys and Ctl-a ... Ctl-z, Backspace etc. but does nothing for such keys as Insert, Delete, Home, End, and the navigation keys. I would also want to read Ctl and Alt keys combinations etc. I have done these thing before, too many years ago, but forgotten it all. Tried the reference manual, but have not enough years left to succeed that way.
View 1 RepliesI know you can validate textbox text by using the keypress events. But the form i'm working on has multiple groupboxes with multiple textboxes. So rather than having a sub routine to validate every groupbox, i was wanting to have just the one keypress event that handles the textbox entries, and depending on the textbox calls a specific validation routine.[code]

View 1 RepliesI couldn't manage what the matter is not even after searching. Here my question goes:I need to do a simple task (close my form on pressing escape key) and I use the following code:
Code:
Protected Overrides Sub OnKeyDown(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs)
Select Case (e.KeyData)
'Close on Escape
Well , it works when I click escape my form closes , but.. if I have pressed by accident or some else matter any of the arrow keys (up , down , left , right) before escape and then hit escape nothing happens. I checked if any other key does that and as I see it does not.
I just want to ask why my KeyPress event is apparently not working. What I want is that when I press the letter m, the selectedindex property of my listboxes would change. Here is the code;
Select Case Asc(e.KeyChar)
Case 13
Try
tray.ListBox1.SelectedIndex = tray.ListBox1.SelectedIndex + 1
[Code]....
I also want to know what the "e.handled = true" is statement for. I set the KeyPreview property of my form to false and true but it's not working as well. the KeyPress event should be triggered regardless of the control within the form that is in focus.
Is it possible to capture a keypress with my application, even if the application isn't focused?And if it is, could someone please point me in the right direction? (I.E things to look up, tutorials)

I'm trying to create an application that uses a PictureBox to display an image. I use the arrows keys to switch images and the space bar to rotate the current image. Since the KeyDown or KeyPress events don�t get fired when I click the arrow keys, I had to override ProcessCmdKey. It works fine, the problem is: the applications also has a few buttons and when I click an arrow key the image gets switched but the button�s focus change as well, worst yet, when I press the space bar, the image gets rotated but the button which has the focus gets pressed.

I am trying to add to items to a combobox by using the "enter" key. It does work when I add the first item, but if I manually clear the box and add another items it does not get added to the list.
(1) I click in the combobox and type "hello" and press the "enter" key
(2) I click on the dropdown arrow and see that "hello" is in the list
(3) I select "hello" in the box and erase it, item is still in the list
(4) I type "goodbye" in the box and press the "enter" key
(5) "hello" is still in the list but "goodbye" is not

if I comment the if/end if line and type "hello" the items added to the combobox list are: "h", "he", "hel", "hell", "hello" wich makes sens since the add items is run on every keypress? I know that my commands for adding items is good, I know that my keypress event is handled properly but not when I specify using the "enter" key.

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'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.
