Touchscreen Keyboard, SendKeys, Returning Focus To Original Control?
Oct 22, 2010
This isn't really a VB specific question. It's .Net in general... if you have ideas in another .Net language, let me know... I know most of the .Net languages (I don't know that foxtrot or what not weird ones). Furthermore this isn't a 'I don't know the method on some class I should be using' kind of question, it's a design/problem solving kind of question.I'd like to know how you'd approach the problem with in the boundaries set.

At the moment I have this to change focus of an element:
SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
Instead of using that I was wondering if I could do something like this:
WebBrowser1.Document.All("id").InvokeMember("click")
But to get focus to the next element in line, like the next one from the current focused item.

I want to show and hide the OSK keyboard (docked at the bottom) for my touch screen application best methods? (I want to make sure when I show that I try to run, in case someone closed it while using the app)

I have a VB.Net 2.0 application, on my form I am using a Component ONE PDF reader control.I am trying to send to this control a F4 keystoke to close the navigation panel when it opens the PDF file. It is not working or not accepting the sendkey.I put focus on the control first. Code below:
Me.PDF1.Focus()
Me.PDF1.Select()
My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("{F4}", True)
I have tried different variations of the Sendkeys with no success.

I am using SendKeys.Send("{HOME}") in a MaskedTextBox to bring the cursor to the beginning of the textbox when the text is empty. When I try to close the project the application freezes if it doesn't have focus. How do I put this application in focus before I call SendKeys? [Code]

I'm developing a program in WPF (VB) that relies on keyboard navigation only.In my program, I have a listbox that displays up to 20000 items.What I want is that when the listbox has keyboard focus, and I move to the bottom item that is visible (using ArrowDown), I want the focus to move to the next item outside the listbox. I'm using PgUp and PgDown to scroll the listbox contents, and text search to jump to items.Is there a way to detect if the focused/selected item is the last/first visible item in the listbox?If so, I could just use:
ListBox1.MoveFocus(New TraversalRequest(FocusNavigationDirection.Down))

I want to make an app which on loading sits in the system tray and even after I open another program (say notepad or vlc or anything) i.e. even when the app is not in focus and if I press "G" on my keyboard, the tray icon should show a tool tip - "key G is pressed". I have tried several codes but nothing works when the app goes out of focus. I can use Register Hot Key [url] but it needs a modifier also (like Ctrl or Alt etc. along with my key G). So, is there any way I can achieve this? something which many tray icons do like antivirus apps, etc. and I do not want to use AutoHotkey application.

I have a form with some textbox and a numerical keyboard on screen. The following code works well if only it had 1 textbox..
Private Sub botones_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles bt0.Click, bt1.Click, bt2.Click, bt3.Click, bt4.Click, bt5.Click, bt6.Click, bt7.Click, bt8.Click, bt9.Click, btDec.Click

I've adapted the code from this link to use the WinXP on-screen keyboard (osk) for a touch-screen application written in VB.NET v3.5. The osk fills the bottom half of screen etc. and behaves fine except for one little quirk. If the user clicks or taps anywhere on the 'background' area behind/between the virtual keys (within the main osk window), the color of the area changes to that of the keys when any further key subsequently gets focus. The outline of all keys is then lost because they are visually merged into the osk window background. The osk must then be terminated and re-launched to remove the confusing appearance.
This behaviour only occurs when the osk window is set to the child style (i.e. when the menu is hidden), using the SetWindowLong P/Invoke function - e.g.
SetWindowLong(OskProcess.MainWindowHandle, GWL_STYLE, WS_CHILD)
It's as if the entire area behind the keys is being treated as another key when tapped/clicked, whereupon its color is 'restored' after losing focus.Is there any way to intercept and somehow override the focus event of this osk background area?

Is there a more efficient/easier way changing the backcolor of a control when it has focus and lost focus? Let's say I've got 10 text boxes. Right now I would have 20 different events...10 for Enter event and 10 for Leave event. Of course, entering would change the back color to "green" and leaving would change it back to "white".

I have a textbox on a form that when it loses focus it updates other text boxes on the form. But before it updates the other textboxes I check the input value in the textbox lostfocus event if it is undesired I return focus to the the textbox and alert the the user with a msgbox. However where my problem is, is that when the cancel button is clicked I don't care what the input in the textbox is because the changes are being canceled but if the value is undesired the it keeps returning focus to the textbox instead of canceling the changes. Is there a way to see what control was clicked on before or in the lost focus event? Can't seem to figure it out tried enter and leave events but no luck!
So for example something like this...
Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.LostFocus
If Control that was clicked <> btnCancel then

I have a form that I want to have a control box so you can close it at any time but I don't want it to be movable from its origainal position. It opens maximized and I want it to stay maximized. I've tried all the different FromBorderStyle options in properties and I've tried all the SizeGripStyle properties though I can't say I've tried all the combinations possible between those two but whatever I've tried I can always click on the border at the top and then the form breaks free from its starting position and when it does the vertical scroll bar disappears.
How can I have this form stay in place with the vertical scroll bar and the control box and not break free from its starting position if someone clicks on the border at the top? If I try FromBorderStyle None then I don't have control box to close it. I was looking at the form events list and I noticed when I break the form free by clicking on the border that that is a ClientSizeChanged event.

In the process of testing of old (XP compatible) applications with Windows 7 we have xperienced a problem, that our major application Clarify (based on VB engine) does not work properly with turned on UAC (SendKeys and DoEvents do not work). Having turned off UAC, works our application error-free. Due to the corporate policy we cannot turn off UAC but we are looking for a solution, how to turn off UAC (not prompts) only for our application or how to het to work an application based on VB with turned.

What is the difference between SendKeys.SendWait and SendKeys.Send?Send obviously will just send they key immediately, but does SendWait actually wait for the message to be processed or does it also send it immediately?The function's name itself is just confusing. Which one should I use if I want to send keystrokes to a 3rd party app immediately, or is there no difference? To me, a few milliseconds is a big difference.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
CheckBox1.Checked = True
While CheckBox1.Checked = True
SendKeys("{END}")
End While
End Sub
That is the code, the error is "SendKeys is a type and cannot be used as an expression."

I have found a program called ledsdriver( http:slicksolution...edsdriver.shtml ). i can control the serial ports on your pc but also the keyboards lights (caps lock,num lock and scroll lock). The good thing is if i connect 2 keyboards i can chose which one i want to change the lights.I want to make one that could control the keyboard lights but only on one keyboard. I wold like to make my own because i could customize it(that one isn't open-source). How can i do that?

I have a ListBox Control containing 5 items. This control displays the current condition and allows the condition to change. The ListBox.SelectedIndex is calculated from the current condition (normally item 2 in the list) and displayed. If the user requires to change this condition the Keyboard Up/Down would be used for navigation (The App is very keyboard intensive), however if the ListBox.SelectedIndex is set at 2 and the keyboard down arrow is pressed the selected item displayed changes to 0 not 3 as required. Is there a way to synchronise the keyboard control with the current selected index?

I'm looking for the underlying Win32 API call that the DotNET Framework invokes on a SendKeys.Send or .SendWait call, or a Win32 API Equivalent to SendKeys. I've already experimented with SetKeyboardState which seems like the way to go, except that it does not raise any kind of keyboard event that causes the set keystates to register with an active application or the OS (at least not until another key is pressed; for example I can meddle with the keyboardstate before events process on a natural keystroke, but I can't invoke a keystroke programmatically).

I ran into a situation where FindControl was returning a control that wasn't a complete match of the Id I was searching by. There are two controls in the parentcontrol with similar Ids like: "MyControl" and "MyControlAlternate". When I call FindControl("MyControl") the control returned is "MyControlAlternate". I was wondering if anyone had any explaination why or thoughts as to what might be causing this problem. The way I got around this was implementing my own version of FindControl.
