VS 2008 : KeyDown Not Working?
Jul 5, 2009
Well I'm currently in the middle of adding a few fine details to a program I'm busy with. Basically whats happening though is that I want to be able to delete some settings on the fly instead of individually, I also want to accomplish this through a simple key press.
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.F1 Then
MsgBox("Do you wish to remove all entries and clear all relative data?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNoCancel)
If MsgBoxResult.Yes Then
[code]....

I am trying to use the keydown/keyup events with buttons in the same project and it not working properly. I have 4 red boxes and when I press an arrow key the box should change to green according to which arrow key it corrosponds to. I have this part working fine, however only when there is nothing else in the project. When I add in say 3 buttons, Button1, Button2, Button3 and try runing the program instead of the correct red box changing to green, button outline just moves between buttons 1,2 and 3. I have tried turning tabstop off for the three buttons but that didnt work. how to read the keydown/keyup while still having buttions that can be pressed with a mouse?

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
If e.Control Then
MessageBox.Show("aaaa")
End If
End Sub
As you can see, my form will check for when the control key is pressed down.But it doesn't work. Why?

I have checked my code countless times, tried other computers, and yet the keydown event will not work.
My code:Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeyRight Then
imgPerson.Left = imgPerson.Left + 500
End If
End Sub
That's all there is because I was just testing it out. imgPerson does exist, so that's not a problem.

I am extremely new to visual basic and it is the first time i have ever tried to program anything. I am currently using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition which I downloaded for free off of the mictosoft website. Anyhow, to the question at hand: I was wondering how one would use keydown commands in VB express 2008. I have looked far and wide and have yet to find an answer to this. To simplify it to a specifit answer how would I move (or rather, slide), say, a picturebox to the left of the screen by holding down the left arrow key and have the picturebox stop moving after I released the arrow key. By simply seeing how the code is I should be able to do it for any other keydowns.

I'm currently experimenting with a tile based dungeon crawler type game. When the WASD keys are pressed it will move in that direction, however if the key is held down it will move incredibly fast over the tiles, which is not what I want.Instead I want the player only to be able to move one tile at a time, or after each key press. Is there any way to do this with the KeyDown event or do I have to use KeyPress to make sure it only activates after each full key down & up?

So I'm working on my webbrowser, and just managed to get the ol' tabs working for it, but how would I go about adding a shortcut like "CTRL + T"
I tried this:

Public Sub TextBox3_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox3.KeyDown
counter1 += 1
End Sub
I set TextBox3 max length to 8.What code should i write if i want it to be like this:I wan the counter1 to stop increasing if the TextBox3 reaches 8 characters. (Even there's still key down occurs)After I click a button, the counter1 is able to increase again.

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

I try to catch the keydown event, but arrow keys don't fire this event, although I set KeyPreview = True. Arrow keys neither fire the KeyUp event. Not on the form or on any controls..
What is required to handle:
1. Arrow keydown or keyUp event with individual event handler based on mouse focus/hover (does the control have focus if mouse hovers on it, or it needs to be clicked?)
2. Mouse scroll events individually based on "mouse focus"
I don't actually need for the form... Since all the form is covered by controls.. But I need individually for different controls. Which are just buttons, labels and a chart control.

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 noticed that a form's keydown method has a slight delay the first time you hold a button. How do I get rid of it?

It appears that my favorite thing in the world is tackling projects that are beyond my current knowledge and abilities. I have a little project that I am working on which is a simple image viewer stocked with (upon completion) your standard Load..., Next/Previous, Zoom In/Out, Actual Size, and Full Screen capabilities. However, I am running into a few snags:
(1) I've been able to get my "Load..." button to display a file dialog box, but I cannot seem to get a working filter (with which only image file types are allowed to be selected) in working order.
(2) I have a PictureBox object (entitled PictureBox1) that displays the image selected via the file dialog box, but it loads images in their full size (1:1/100% zoomed) state without scrollbars, etc. to allow me to navigate the loaded image. I would like to have it load the image, initially, to fit within the dimensions of PictureBox1 and from there be able to zoom in/out via my "Zoom In/Out" and "Actual Size" buttons and be able to scroll if the zoom level is beyond the dimensions of PictureBox1.
(3) It dawned on me that I haven't the faintest idea how to get my "Next/Previous" buttons to allow the user (me) to navigate, in succession, the images contained in the folder in which the currently loaded image is stored. [code]
If it is deemed that this thread is inappropriately requesting help, I ask that it be locked/deleted quickly as I recognize that this is a large community with many discussions going without need of unwelcome posts.

I have been working on an app that was basically a vb6 app but had to be changed and I did it all using VB 2008. works well, great. One of the problems that I had was to work on different groupboxes or frames. Since they are layered on top of each other, working on one frame would mess up the others. Eventually it all went okay. but now if i want to add another item in the menu and hence add another groupbox (or frame) in the same app - it would definitely be a nightmare.

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:
Private Sub C_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As PreviewKeyDownEventArgs) Handles C.PreviewKeyDown ' C is the label attached to the first 'Rectangle' (Key)
If (e.KeyCode = Keys.A) Then 'The A key should activate the C key on the keyboard
[code]....
I have KeyPreview set to 'True' under the form's properties.

I'm building a slot machine, and I'm having some trouble.re's the
'Pulls down the slot
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Space Then
PictureBox2.Focus()
[code]....
When I debug and click space down, my picture box of the knob slides on down to 175, pauses, and shoots back up. The problem I'm running into, is that it doesn't do anything if I try to pull the knob down again. It doesn't bug out or anything, but it just doesn't do it again

Is it possible to use the KeyDown on a picturebox?What I want is that when somebody presses the SPACEBAR the cursor has to change in the Hand-icon...and additionally do some operations when moving over the picturebox. I fact...when spacebar hasn't been pressed you can just move around the picturebox, without anything happening...with the spacebar pressed the cursor should change and you should be able to scroll the image using the mouse moving.
what I have is :
'in my global sub that loads everything, not the Main.Load, because he has to check some stuff in advance
AddHandler ACO_graph.PreviewKeyDown, AddressOf Me.ACO_graph_PreviewKeyDown
AddHandler ACO_graph.KeyDown, AddressOf Me.ACO_graph_KeyDown

I am trying to call the form_Keydown method from a procedure, CharacterJump()
Here is my
Keydown
frmGame_KeyDown(Nothing, New KeyEventArgs(Keys.Right))
What I am trying to do is after the user moves the character with the right arrow key and presses the up button to jump while still holding the right arrow key, the character will continue on moving, but the code that I put only does one movement and does not keep going.
Edit: I think I know the reason why it is only doing it once; it is because the keydown procedure is being called and therefore only executed once. The question is, how do I make it so it goes to keydown and doesn't return?

I am running out of function keys and it will be nice if I can double up on some of them with the Shift Alt or Ctrl keys.I am using
if e.keydown = keys.F3 then{it does what it is supposed to}end if I tried e.keydown = keys.F3 AND e.keydown = keys.Shift but it gets ignored. Am I seeking the impossible or am I just missing something?Can some one tell me what I am missing or point me to an example?

I have a web browser in my application. A simple one with a URL bar at the top, some back and forward buttons, the web browser component and a few other stuff. One thing I want though was a 'full screen' option. In most web browser, if you press F11 it goes full screen. I can make the web browser go full screen but I can't get the F11 short cut to work.it seems, I can only do it when the web browser component isn't focussed
