How To Handle The 'Fn' Keypress
Feb 25, 2011I am trying to write a program that dims the brightness on my laptop. I have been unable to find the correct code, so I am trying to get it to press 'Fn & Down' on form load. The problem is I cannot find 'Fn' in the e.KeyPress I set up a small program that alerts me of the key pressed and pressing 'Fn' does not give and alert. Pressing 'Fn & Down' Gives a keycode of "None" Is there some way I can register the 'Fn' key in vb.net?
View 2 RepliesHow To Handle Enter KeyPress Event
Jul 19, 2010I am using the Event Handler below for the Enter Key Press Event, it is running when ever any of the keys is pressed. This is not so much a problem when the app. is running, unnecessary yes. It is giving me problems when ever I am Debugging using Breakpoints. How can I change the Handler so it only runs when the Enter Key is Pressed, doing away with the If statement?
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Chr(Keys.Enter) Then
'Different code blocks will run here depending on what
'TextBox or Label is selected.
End If

Capturing And Using Keypress Events
Apr 30, 2010I am trying to modifying the "Math Quiz" tutorial to be more user friendly.
The initial tutorial does not consider the users efforts to answer the math problems as quickly as possible.
The problem is that you must use the mouse or tab key rather than the "enter" key to move to the next control after answering. I believe using the "Enter key to be much more intuitive.
Therefore, I wish to modify the program to either:
1. Check the KeyPress event of the NumberUpDown controls to watch for the "Enter" key to be pressed, and if it is, check to ensure that the current NumberUpDown control is not empty (= Nothing) and if both are True, to then TAB to the next control in the TAB order; OR
2. Uses the PreviewKeyDown event to transpose the "Enter" into a "Tab" automatically so the application will then TAB to the next control in the TAB order.
With all of the new changes to VB 2010 from the last version I actually used professionally (VB6), things are REALLY different, so I no longer know how to accomplish this same task in the new manner. especially if it contains working CODE, because I have always learned better the first time from an example. here is my version of the tutorial Code:
'--- Create a Random object to generate random numbers.
Private objRandomValue As New Random
'--- The Integers will store the numbers for the
' addition problem.

View 6 RepliesKeyDown And KeyPress Events Not Responding
Mar 7, 2009In the application I'm working on I use F1 and also a right mouse click to close the application since the graphics display full screen and there's no control in the upper right corner to close with. I use a good number of different keypresses to control things and everything works fine. When I switch away from the form that the applications starts in to a different form I'm not getting any response from either a KeyDown or a KeyPress event. Maybe someone knows what's going on. The ButtonClick and MouseDown events are responding just fine but for some reason the KeyDown and KeyPress events aren't. Below is code for one of the Forms that is unresponsive in this way.

View 4 RepliesCan Validate Textbox Text By Using Keypress Events
Jun 10, 2011I know you can validate textbox text by using the keypress events. But the form i'm working on has multiple groupboxes with multiple textboxes.

View 8 RepliesIDE :: Using KeyDown And KeyPress Events On The Same TextBox Control
Jun 4, 2009I 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

How To Hook Up Keypress Events For Cut / Copy And Paste Routines
Nov 5, 2009I have a Windows Forms app, with a TabControl. On the first tab (which is a bunch of textboxes), the CTRL-x/c/v keyboard shortcuts for cut/copy/paste work as expected. On the second tab (which is a DataGridView), the keyboard shortcuts don't do anything. How do I hook up these keypress events to my cut/copy/paste routines? I already have great cut/copy/paste routines for my DataGridView--and they work fine when launched from the tooltip buttons or menus. I just need to hook up those subs to the CTRL-x/c/v keypress events.

.net - Handle ALL Events In One Handler?
Jul 19, 2010Is it possible in VB.NET to easily write an event handler that will handle every event that fires? I'm wondering if one could make a logging system using something like this.I'm wanting to do something like (in pseudocode):
Public Sub eventHandledEvent(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
File.Write(sender.EventName)
End Sub
I realize it would be slow, but it wouldn't be for a production system, only as a development tool.
Handle Events In Another Class
Sep 2, 2011I'm trying to move some code into some class files to clean up my code. One area I'm having trouble with is reporting progress for events between the object performing the task and a progress bar. I guess the event functions have to be placed in the new class but they also need to update the progress bar on the calling form? Can the classobject return updates in place of the event handlers?

Window Handle Changes Between Events

Have Background Thread Handle Events?
Apr 7, 2011I am in the planning stages for developing a VB.Net class (let's call it OpDAq) that is to obtain data via an API provided by a COM object (AxInterop.TWSLib) that makes requests to an Internet server. The API provides data via events. Class OpDAq should do its work on a separate thread; it takes several seconds (sometimes up to ~10) to collect the desired data. One should be able to create several instances of OpDAq in order to collect data in parallel. The class would be given a reference to the TWSLib object when its constructor is called, as well as several parameters. There needs to be a way for the class to provide results, preferably in the form of a generic list.

Handle Events For Objects NOT Created In The Design Tab?
Jan 10, 2012I have created a PictureBox array to hold 104 playing cards that are all visible at the same time.I did this with this line in the declarations:Shared Card(104) As PictureBox
And with these lines in the Form_Load module:
For I% = 1 To 104
Card(I%) = New PictureBox
Card(I%).Name = String.Format("Card{0}", I%.ToString)
Card(I%).Size = New Size(71, 96)
[Code]...
I have been successful in creating the array, positioning each and entering the images for all 104 PictureBoxes, but now I want to add code for the event "MouseDown.I copied the code for this event from my VB3 program and VB10 automatically updated the list of parameters, but nothing has linked the objects (Card) to the code.
I have tried to append "Handles Card.MouseDown" as well as several variations with brackets to indicate that it is an array.Auto-complete doesn't include "Card" as an option, and of course, since the array was never an object added to the form design, I can't create the empty module from there.
