I have the following code which I use in another Form and it works perfectly. I copied the same code to another form, changed the controls, keys combinations, etc., but the keyboard shortcuts do nothing at runtime. None of the key combinations work, it throws no Exceptions,I put a MessageBox in the F1 KeyDown conditional, but it doesn't show. That tells me that it's not Handling the KeyDown Event.[code]

I have seen similar questions which attempt to solve this issue, but none seem to work for me so far.Basically, 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:
[Code]...
I am creating a keydown event that when the enter key is pressed it performs the button1_click event. I have this much:
if e.keycode = keys.enter then
//code here
endif
I just need to know how to make it perform the button1_click event.
I'm looking to be a able to add my own windows shortcuts which take effect when my own program is running in the background.For example, if the user has Notepad open, they may press Alt+F4 to close it. I would like the Windows Key + Q to do the same action.So Windows Key + Q = Alt + F4.There are a few shortcuts I would like to do but if someone could help me do it for this one then I should be able to take it from here.

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 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 8 RepliesSo 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.
Does anyone know an easy way to set a keyboard shortcut for a tab in a tab control in Visual Studio 2010? Is there some property I can set?
I looked online, but all the articles I saw were very confusing.
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.

Is there a way in VB.NET to replicate C# behavior on code snippets in case of capturing events?
I.E.in C#:Btn.Click+= and then double-tab. Creates an handler for btn.click event.

i recently took a look at a game i tried to put together, and decided i wanted to finish it.The game is a shooter game that creates 'walls' that the player should not be able to move into. These walls are panels, and currently, im using one keydown event to move both players. This is not a good thing, because it makes it impossible for both players to shoot and move at the same time. The player should not be able to run through the walls

View 1 RepliesI have this code in the onKeyDown event of the datagridview.
Private Sub DataGridView1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode[code]....
This works. When the Enter button is pressed, it acts as the TAB button.The problem I am having is this only works if the datagridviewer is selected.As soon as I enter data into a cell (A cell is selected) the code wont work as it is not set for the cell keyDown event. The event does not exist, so I have to somehow create it.
