give me the line or code on how to check the characters as you type into a textbox. What i want to do is, creating a calculator.. but on the numpad, if you strike the "*"(asterix) or plus... or what have you... then it should change the Sign to it.. and not type the actual "*" in the text box..
View 4 Replieslet me explain in more detail so you don't get the wrong idea of what I'm trying to accomplish.If I have a button object, say Button1, on my form and I select it with my mouse, it brings up another form or dialog. If in the text field property of Button1 I enter &Button1, the B will have an underscore under it and if I hold down the Alt key and press b, it too will invoke the other form or dialog. I would like to also have the capability to do that with a datepicker field or textbox field.
Right now, I can set up several buttons with Alt-keystroke combos that work by default, but it seems like I have to write some form of keystroke intercept routine and test for the conditions I'm looking for and force the focus to the datepicker or textbox. Am I missing something? Is there a better way to do this? Or is there actually a way of setting up a label on a textbox or datepicker object.
Kind of like when you're using MS Access and building a report, the fields have a leader that you can type a label in. That's what I'm looking to do. So if the label part of the datepicker field says Date: if I press and hold the Alt key and press d, it will invoke the datepicker field (aka open the calendar for selection).
what I would like to do is create a program that runs in the task bar next to the time. What I want this to do is listen for the key stroke combo of CTRL-ALT-T no matter what program they are in. When they hit this key stroke I want the program to do is hide the task bar on the bottom of the screen. you know how you can change the hight to two rows one row and so on but you can also drag it down so it has no rows and can't see it. Then when they hit CTRL-ALT-T it will then display the task bar with what ever the hight wa set to. Just don't know what direction to go to do this.

I have a routine which run's on a form load event which works perfectly fine.i am using vb.net.
Now i want the routine to run only when the files (".txt") exists in a folder.I need the program to keep watching the folder and execute when it finds any files in it else sleep & then check to see if it has any new files
I have application that watching on my folder for download from my browser. When the file is downloaded i want to move this file immediately in some other folder depending on the file extension. Now, the problem is i don't know how to setup FileSystemWatcher properties, because i want to FSW alert mi only after the file is created and when it's able for copying or moving. I 'am really confused about notify filters and which events to control. The event FSW.created is unuseful because it's raised when download starts.

View 3 RepliesI'm having problem with keystroke detection, I want to detect only "enter" and "I" keystroke.If you press "enter", it will automatically close the form the datagridview located and send data to other form, I'm using keydown function, but I don't know how to detect only "enter" and "I" keystroke, usually I'm browsing datagrid with tab button, but when I press tab, it also closed down.

I need to stop the keystroke event when I pressed a particular key. E.g.: If press alt+tab key then that keys should not perform that operation, that should operation should be stopped. I captured that particular keystroke, but I want to know how to stop that particular operation.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to send a keystroke to a window (of an external executable) but am having problems.
If I launch the exe with a window I can successfully send it a "q" (in order to make it exit) using the follow:
1) AppActivate and SendKeys
2) SendMessage API using WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP
3) AppActivate and keybd_event or SetForegroundWindow and keybd_event
However, if I launch it without a window, obviously method 1) does not work as SendKeys only work on applications with visible windows, but I thought that method 2) would work. However, it doesn't. Also, using method 3) with SetForegroundWindow as this seems to only work with visible windows, which is not really a surprise I guess, given the name.
Another method I have tried, which won't work is using the RedirectStandardInput - I have this working correctly, but the application is looking for keyboard events, not writes to its StandardInput stream, so this doesn't have any effect.
Finally, I have tried using SendMessage and FindWindowEx, and TranslateMessage, to find any child windows or controls that should be receiving the messages, rather than the main window. However, no child windows or controls are found, and I wouldn't have thought this would be the solution given that, if the window is present, the main window receives the message as it should.
So, I have confirmed that the messages are going to the correct window, as they arrive as they should when the application is launched with a window, but I cannot get the application to receive the message when it is window-less. The solution doesn't have to involve messages, or even be particularly robust, but this is what I have tried so far (all the obvious stuff!)

Problem: Form hasn't fully initialize but shortcut keys can be usedDetails: Launch an mdi child with database access retrieving data, and user is already using the shortcut keys while the data is still been retrieve which results to error since object hasn't fully initialize yet.
Goal: Hinder user from using shortcut keys by disabling the keys at initialization then enabling it after all objects are good to go.
Another Situation is:A form with a gridview and a button.I got a hotkey that when press, handles a gridview getfocus event.
The problem is that the gridview is still making its instance and when press the hotkey, it activates the getfocus property of that gridview(which is still creating its instance).

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to send a single keystroke to an application that has no window (because I have launched it with StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True) and therefore I can't use SendKeys. I had a look at SendMessage but this doesn't seem to be quite right as the programme I'm sending it to doesn't process message queues.I would usually use the StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput property and send it via a StreamWriter but this doesn't not work as the application it is being sent to is looking for actual keyboard keystrokes, rather than pulling info from StandardInput (an old C++ programme using getch). Anyone have any ideas how to send a keystoke to an application with no window (FYI I don't need anything back from it, I don't need to wait until it's processed, and I only need to send one letter and no carriage returns or linefeeds, though these wouldn't hurt)

I was curious if there is an easy way, besides making a new custom DataGridViewColumn, that on each keystroke validation is done (while the D.G.V.TextBoxCell is being edited), instead of when focus is lost off the cell.Or in a different senerio, if there is a way to restrict user keystrokes while a D.G.V.TextBox Cell is being edited, while not relying on making a new custom DataGridViewColumn. I would go through the work of implementing this new Column, except the customer for the job I am working at wants small, managable code. And even if this is a useful feature, they would want to avoid having an extra class being made.

I want to create application that will keylog keystroke and if specific word or key stroke is typed than it will change typed word to somestring.
Example :- (kinda like flowchart)
1. User types "something" in word, firefox, etc.. ( doesn't matter it should be able to capture value from any app )
2. Application captures keystroke and check if keystroke is "something"
3. If keystoke is "something" then it will transfer or take away "something"
4. Instead of something it will type or write "I just wrote something."

This maybe a long shot because the treeview I am talking about it a component one control. Basically I build a menu structure up using a treeview. But as a build the menu if an item equals a certain value I want to recursively go back up the tree expanding any branch nodes which works until I get to the very top. Here is the
Private Sub ExpandTree(ByRef Item As C1TreeViewNode)
Dim ParentNode As C1TreeViewNode
If Item.Owner = "" Then
[code]....
Basically on the 'If Item.Owner = "" Then' what I need to do is trap for the type of the Item.Owner because when it gets to the top the owner is no longer a C1TreeViewNode type but a C1TreeView and I can't work out how to trap for this. Basically once is gets to C1TreeView exit the loop.
