VS 2008 Activate A Keyboard Button With Code?
Dec 24, 2009
I was making a program where it takes text from a textbox on one form, and places into a textbox on another form. If the first text I am taking says "test" Then the buttons code would be:
Form2.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox1.Text
This works, however, if there were two textboxes in the first form, and I wanted this:
Form2.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox1.Text
Form2.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox2.Text
- this would not work because one of them will override. I wanted to know how I could send a key into the form just once. I have tried this:
Form2.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox1.Text & ("{ENTER}")
Form2.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox2.Text

I am very new to programming In Visual Basic 2005, and programming in general. I have been working on a snake game for my programming class. I have working version of the game that uses four buttons (up,down,left,right) to control the snake. What I want to do is make it so you can control the snake with the arrow keys on the keyboard instead of having to click the buttons.

So I had this idea to make a virtual drum set and my school book doesn't have the answer for me and I haven't been able to successfully google this. The only things I need to know is how to add a sound to a picture box that will activate when clicked and how to assign a key on the keyboard to activate the sound as well.

i just got the code to undo multiple times.. nice stuff.
this code works with a undo button.. i'm using a textbox and i want to be able to press CTRL + Z, to undo by using the undo button's command.. do u think it will interfere with the preset windows keyboard shortcuts for textboxes where it will only undo one time?just a squirrel looking for my nut...

How Do I Make Button.click Event Perform both the enter and period(del) keys on the numeric keypad? [Code] Case Keys.Enter and Case Keys.Separator do not work. Nor does anything like Keys.OEMPeriod for the period(del) key. I've also tried calling the enter key in a KeyPress event etc. But to no avail. Any ideas? I'm trying to mimic Windows calc.exe for a school project and thought I'd try throwing in a few extras such as numeric keypad functionality.

i would like to know that is there any way to activate a button with the Ctl and a key combination
we can do it with Alt and the key combination but my client is asking for ctrl & the key combination i have searched a lot but failed to find anything.
secondly :
i have used the alt & key combination for my buttons but the prob. is unless and untill the user presses the alt key the key combination is not highlighted. i have seen progs. where the key that is used for e.g. i have given &Add then the 'A' key is highlighted always with the underline. but when i am doing it by giving the name as &Add unless and untill the user presses alt the underline under A doesnt appear. do i have do more than just giving "&Add".

I want to activate a button on a yahoo group web page. It is in the members database and it is the export button. When the button is pressed it will export the list of members. I want my program to navigate to this page and press the button programmatically. I am using vb2008. I am not using this to spam anyone. I am an administrator there and want to get the data for tracking messages.

had a quick question that I dont think is too difficult, the solution just isn't too apparent to me.I put an option in my program that will allow a user to redownload a setup file and repair a program installation and I wanted the program to automatically launch the msi file and pass a command line arguent to use the repair function in the installer.This code works perfectly to launch the installer, but the user has to manually click repair.

In my old VB6 programs I use control events like Keydown to activate code. The code is the same for all text controls. However, I am hoping that there is a efficient way of handing this in VB.net. Using VB2010.
Private Sub txtField1_KeyDown(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txtField1.KeyDown
ButtonState2()
End Sub
Private Sub txtField2_KeyDown(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txtField2.KeyDown

I have been developing a calculator for complex math. (Much more complicated than +,-,/,*, and above your usual scientific calculator)Its works quite well .In past programs I have used "private functions". I know that you give them a value and it returns on back. But what if you dont want to recive or send value? My example for this is a function I am attempting to make called "Autopi".The idea of Autopi is that whenever a mathimatical operation is about to be performed textbox(s) are cheked to see if they contain pi. (3.14 or 3.141) If they test positive Autopi will continue pi to however many places have been specifyed in the program. (Currently 300 places just beacuse i can :) Before the Autopi function does this it chekes to see if variable "pi" = 1. If it does it proceeds if it doesent its job is done
How would I create a code that can be called apon to activate but not recive or send any information through the program.And just to clarify what I mean by that is it will read information out of a textbox and write into it. But it wont actualy recive anything or send anything back from where it was called apon.

The error it has is that when one of the text boxes is changed the code changes all of them triggering every single function to activate. Is there a simpler solution other then recoding it from the start? also each different Private Sub is identical basically.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub K_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles K.TextChanged
Dim T As Double[code]...
I know the code is very brute forced & sloppy but its the only way i really know how to do it.

To start off with, I will say that I have tried ENDLESS attempts to surpress/capture/stop the actual sleep keystroke.
The code cannot require administrator privilege's. .
I tried:
Private Overrides Sub ProcessCmdKey, and Return true when the sleep key is pressed - did not disable sleep key LowLevelKeyboard - One that can disable the windows logo key - did not disable sleep key And many other keyhandling events, etc.
The code cannot create registry keys because that requires admin privilege's.

I am making this little tool for this online game i play (league of legends some of you might know it) Basically I made a small program which consists of 4 buttons and when you click button it starts timer and beeps once it reaches 0. Thats fine. Problem is I have to go out of game to click the button to start the countdown.My question is. While the program is running in background is there a way to press the button by assigning specific key on keyboard ? for example if I press F5 it will start the Bluebtn when i press F6 it will start Redbtn while I am in game.
