I Want manage the keys state in my program(in vb 2010) but 'key press event' cant manage more than a key in a time.i want manage keys for commanding something.(for example if "CTRL AND AIT AND Shift And "A" and "S" was pressed do something)
View 2 RepliesHow do I bind a keyboard key to an event? Everything I have found so far is related to using the keyboard for shortcuts to buttons on the form. I guess you could say I want to do the opposite.
For example: This is just basic code I did while learning how to use the xBox controller with my windows forms.
If currentState.Buttons.LeftShoulder = ButtonState.Pressed Then
tbLB.Text = " Pressed"
Else
tbLB.Text = " Released"
End If
Instead of changing the text in my textbox I want to have the left shoulder button or maybe my Dpad act as the "Tab" (let me worry about the controller I've got that handled, as not not confuse anyone) key on the keyboard in order to navigate through my form by tabbing upward or downward through a menu. Then maybe use the "A" button on the controller as the "Enter" key.
Where in: Replacing "tbLB.Text = " Pressed"" with code that would press virtually press the "TAB" key.
Of course using the xBox controller is dealing with XNA, but at this point I have figured out some basics of using the controller with my forms, just need to know how to mimic the keyboard keys.
What I'm trying to do is get the form to catch any key on the keyboard that has been pressed so it will reset a timer?

View 5 RepliesI am making an Auto Typer and it was going all good until I came apon a mysterious problem. When sending the space key or enter key with "Send Keys. SendWait" they come up with their numerical equivalent, 32 and 13.For example, a user types "test" into the textbox, and clicks "{Text} {Space} {Text}" in the options menu. The user clicks start and the output is "Text32Text32Text".Is there any way to just send the keys and make them appear as if you typed them on a keyboard?

View 5 RepliesI have a problem detecting whether one of the arrow keys is pressed, all the other keys seem to be detected apart from the arrow keys??? I have set key preview to True........ It detects the arrrow keys BUT ONLY if I have NO other controls on the form??? example..

It works, but then if I add a button for example, it stops.
just wondering how i could give my auto typer hot keys, for example they press f1 to start the typer f2 to stop it.

I have a class that seems to be recursively adding an EventHandler to an event. I have looked at the code but there is no AddHandler on it and there's only one method with the Handles clause.In the memory profiler it shows that the event handler is calling the event handler that is calling the event handler and so on for a rather large number of steps.

View 9 RepliesWhats the best way to organize code responsible for Form's content.In my case, there is a DataGridView and list, next to it, with a few options available (projects, managers, employees, etc...). Choosing any list's element fills DataGrid with proper data from database.Now, GridFill functions + handling of all add/delete/edit buttons of each list element gives quite a code in the Form's source, which bothers me a bit. How to split it then to avoid problems in the future? While googling, I've seen some advices to use partial classes, modules or just classes. Moving all functions relating the Projects, Managers, ... , to own separate class sounds like a nice idea but then comes the question how to pass all necessary data to the class functions.

have been writing code to replace an old Fortran program. The Fortran program had very organized subroutines which could be called from anywhere in the project. Most of these were relatively small and left a small, easily followed main routine. I'm converting over to VB.net and when I write the subroutines they are all on the same form. Wading through 50-100 subroutines on one form is going to be messy.
