So recently my Netbook keyboard stopped working, I got this new one. That would not be a problem if it was not for the missing [FN] key. My computer has several shortcuts, like FN + F6 = Turns screen off.
I cant seem to figure out how to bind these shortcuts to buttons in Visual Basic so I can just hit the button and turn the screen off that way, I've only used VB to make small simple fun stuff.
I'm afraid I don't have any code to show, as I don't know where to begin with this. I'd like to have it so that if the user presses "Ctrl+O" it will run the OpenDialogue from the Menu. If someone really wants me to (don't see how it'd help, but whatever it takes ) I can post the fully functional open function.

I am trying to assign a keyboard shortcut to a macro but "Press shortcut keys" textbox does not accept input. The "Remove" and "Assign" buttons are disabled. I have a command highlighted and I've tried in all the available "Keyboard Mapping Schemes". I've noticed that on some of the samples on "Modifying Keyboard Shortcuts" there were buttons for creating new mapping schemes. I'm assuming those are a visual studio version prior to mine - maybe 2003. Mine only contains the reset button.
View 2 Repliesi want to make a simple program where i can add/edit or delete a shortcut from an installed programs in my computer.
let say c:program filesmicrosoft officeoffice11winword.exe.
the purpose of this is i want some of my selected programs to be in a single window where i can click to open so i don't need to go to start then programs and open that specific program.

i'm currently working on a security program and i need to temporarily disable some key combinations using vbnet. Key combinations such as: Ctrl-Alt-Delete, Alt-Tab, Alt-Esc, Win Keys, Alt Keys, Esc.
View 1 RepliesFor example if I have a button that says "Copy" and I want the "C" underlined so I can press the "c" key and have the buttonpressed event fire, I have to have "Hide Underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the ALT key" unchecked in the Display Properties>Appearance>Effects area. If it is checked, a user would have to press the ALT key to make the underline visible (for each form).

View 2 RepliesHow do I enable Ctrl+C, Ctrl + X and Ctrl+V for textboxes in my application? I can copy, cut and paste by right-clicking the textbox but keyboard shortcuts won't work... Also, in the menu under Edit I have Cut , Copy, and Paste but they don't work either. Under the code for these buttons I see the following:

' Use My.Computer.Clipboard to insert the selected text or images into the clipboard
End Sub

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create a custom keyboard for my accounting firm. I have all the buttons and button events sorted out.How can I make it so that when buttons a pressed, the text is input into where the cursor is? Currently i put the cursor for instance in an excel cell, then click the key on the virtual keyboard and nothing is inputted into the cell, i assume because it selects the keyboard window when i click the button. For some keys I'm also simply using:SendKeys.Send("q") for example.
