View 1 RepliesMake Single Sub Handle Keydown Event For Multiple Text Boxes
May 14, 2011I don't have an example code, but recently figured out how to make a single sub handle the keydown event for multiple text boxes.What I would like to know is if it is simple enough to have the object name that is sending the event instead of "microsoft..text: 54654" (sender.ToString in a debug window) type of return. I don't know how to make use of that.

View 2 RepliesJoystick Handle - Use Only The Handle Of The Component?
Mar 23, 2009I wrote an application to handle a joystick with directinput. It works fine if it uses the handle of the main window but it doesnt happen the same if the handle is the one of the component that contains the joystick's operation.
I mean:
main form handle: 15
component handle (which is inside the window and the joystick needs the focus of this component to work): 25
It always work if the handle i initilizate the device is the main form (15).How can i use only the handle of the component?
.net - Focus On KeyDown In .NET?
Jan 29, 2012Basically, for my first VB project, I am creating a virtual keyboard where a sound is played from the resources on KeyDown. So far, the program seems to work except for the fact that each key needs to be clicked by the mouse before the sound is played by pressing each key (hence put the object in focus), where I need the key to play the sound without clicking the keyboard key (put the object in focus on KeyDown). Below is an example of my code:
Private Sub C_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As PreviewKeyDownEventArgs) Handles C.PreviewKeyDown ' C is the label attached to the first 'Rectangle' (Key)
If (e.KeyCode = Keys.A) Then 'The A key should activate the C key on the keyboard
[code]....
I have KeyPreview set to 'True' under the form's properties.

View 9 RepliesCalling Keydown From A Procedure?
May 20, 2010I am trying to call the form_Keydown method from a procedure, CharacterJump()
Here is my
Keydown
frmGame_KeyDown(Nothing, New KeyEventArgs(Keys.Right))
What I am trying to do is after the user moves the character with the right arrow key and presses the up button to jump while still holding the right arrow key, the character will continue on moving, but the code that I put only does one movement and does not keep going.
Edit: I think I know the reason why it is only doing it once; it is because the keydown procedure is being called and therefore only executed once. The question is, how do I make it so it goes to keydown and doesn't return?

View 5 RepliesUsing Keydown Commands In 2008?
Apr 8, 2009I am extremely new to visual basic and it is the first time i have ever tried to program anything. I am currently using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition which I downloaded for free off of the mictosoft website. Anyhow, to the question at hand: I was wondering how one would use keydown commands in VB express 2008. I have looked far and wide and have yet to find an answer to this. To simplify it to a specifit answer how would I move (or rather, slide), say, a picturebox to the left of the screen by holding down the left arrow key and have the picturebox stop moving after I released the arrow key. By simply seeing how the code is I should be able to do it for any other keydowns.
