I am doing some stuff when the user presses the arrow keys, but I fear many controls, like the TabControl, respond to such presses as well. In the case of my TabControl, the arrow presses will make it change of tab. I don't want that.. how can I disable such?

i'd like to know how to make an event happen when user presses a key ... let's say space or whichever...and the other thing - how to display a folder on my hard disk ("E:Music") in a ListView box in my program?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to work out how to detect if the user has pressed an f key I have this so far:
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
Label1.Text = e.KeyChar
End Sub
This detects when the user presses a character key and outputs it via Label1.text, but it doesnt work on all keys?
I am writing a function that should sound a beep every two seconds until the user either clicks the mouse or presses any key. The code I have written appears to work for the mouse click, but it ignores keystrokes:

I have an assignment from school where the program is supposed to close when the user presses Alt X.
I have done this using Java but that was a long time ago and I can't remember how I did it. How do you do it in VB?[code]...
i want to make a message box appear when the user presses Alt k (then) Alt e (then) alt j . is this the correct code to use?:

I'm trying to find out a way to detect when ever the user presses CTRL -ALT - DEL or Window + L to lock the PC.The code I'm using is
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
If (GetAsyncKeyState(17) AndAlso GetAsyncKeyState(18) AndAlso GetAsyncKeyState(46)) Or ((GetAsyncKeyState(91) Or GetAsyncKeyState(92)) AndAlso GetAsyncKeyState(76)) Then[code]....
However, as soon as the user presses CTRL-ALT-DEL the Windows Security Screen comes up and it is too fast for VB to detect that the keys have been pressed.I did a little reaserch on how to work around this issue and found that a GINA stub can be written which can delay the Windows Security Screen by some time say 2 secs which would be enough for VB to detect that the keys have been pressed.Also disabling Ctrl-Alt-Del through VB does not work because it is too fast for VB and I would like not to disable CTRL-ALT-DEL
i am making my final year project in vb.net for data entry i want to make the project more user friendly i use code to change the control focus by pressing 'Enter'(ASCII 13).. and clear the content of current control by pressing 'Esc'(ASCII 27)... in my project one form contains at-least 300 of controls say(t1,t2,t3,t4...)
so in the keypress event of t1 i have writen
if asc(e.keychar)=13 then
t2.focus
elseif asc(e.keychar)=27 then
t1.text=nothing
end if
the code works fine but produce an alert beep when i press ENTER to change the active control...
I want to format my textboxes in such a way that when someone fills in the details in the textbox if they press enter button on the keybord the focus is given to the next textbox that they should fill in .I tried the code below that we used in vb6 but its not working.
View 3 RepliesI am writing a hangman type game and I am displaying the word to the user in a label as all *'s, but I cannot figure out how to have just one of the *'s changed in the label to the correct letter when the user inputs the correct letter into the text box and clicks the check letter button.Everything else in the program works perfectly, except for this part.[code]When I use the .Replace it changes all of the *'s to the correct selected letter.
View 2 Repliesim trying to make a program that only listens to a few keys that the user presses, and if one of them is pressed, it carries out a specified command.for example, right now,i found a keylogger that could carry out my command, but id rather use something else if possible. right now, i have a timer running this:
For i = 1 To 255
result = 0
result = GetAsyncKeyState(i)[code]....
Then, in the textbox1_textchanged, i search for like if textbox1.text.contains("M") or something.problem with this, is im pretty sure its a keylogger, and i dont want to have to have that. also, it does not work in vista.
Found a solution! (should have researched more throughly!)

I am creating a user tool for a game I am playing (NOT a hacking tool, it simply shows information about my own character). I have a template of what I need to do with the data I recieve, here is the code, it is coded in PHP
function decode_style($r) {
//get gender
$gender_array = array('Male', 'Female', 'Male 2','Female 2','Male 3', 'Female 3');
$style['Gender'] = $gender_array[round($r / hexdec(4000000))];
//GET AURA
[CODE]...
Ok, I understand PHP a bit (As you know one programming language you can understand just about any) and this is what I have created from this
Dim Style As Decimal
Dim Rank, RRank As Decimal
Dim Gender, RGender As Decimal
Dim Aura, RAura As Decimal
[CODE]...
As you can see, it is receiving a single piece of data from a remote SQL server, I then need to run this data through the above calculations (Seen in the PHP file) although the answers I'm getting are incorrect.
Here are some simple instructions I got in what goes on between values:
gender :

the goal i want to accomplish is when the user presses a button, "moneyamount" increases by a random number generated. the problem i am having is that after the action is finished the script does not seem to save the new value and always starts at zero. here is the script:
Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles dojob1button.Click
Dim moneyamount As Integer = moneyamount + Int(Rnd() * 10)
moneylabel.Text = "$" & moneyamount
End Sub
I need a box to pop up, when a user presses "Close" It will then say "Are you sure you wish to close this program?"and give a Yes or No option. If Yes is pressed, it will close the application. If No is pressed, it will close the popup box and the program will remain running.
View 6 Repliesin my form i have 4 textboxes and i want all not to be empty while saving the data.I have put condition in save button,when user presses the save button to save data, to check all the textboxes not to be empty. My question is that, i want to focus to that particular textbox which is empty during saving the data.
For example: i have txt1,txt2,txt3,txt4 as textboxes in the form if txt1 is empty while saving, the focus should switch to txt1 rather user himself have to go there.
I have a ToolStripTextBox (the name of it is SearchBox) and I would like it when after the user types something and presses enter it takes them to a URL.

I need to determine if a set of keys have been pressed in succession. For example, if I'm looking for this combination: Up, Up, Left, Space, then any key that inteferes with the order would start it over.
I tried doing a basic test to see if it would be as straight forward as I was hoping:
VB.NET
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Up Then

For some reason, it doesn't let me continue the sequence. I put a MessageBox on the second "Up" and it triggered when I pressed it just once.

For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.
so my friend and i are working on a project together, he is working on PHP, and im working on visual basic, and we both know what we need to do, but we cant figure out how to use his PHP code and use it in visual basic. What we're doing right now is trying to make a program to send an email to me or him when somebody presses a button. so, how would i use his PHP to send an email from my VB based app? sorry if this is in the wrong place, i wasn't quite sure which to put it in...
View 24 RepliesI have a code which registers keypresses even if it's running in the background.Is there a way I can capture the keypresses, but prevent the keypress from going to any other app? Microsoft Word and my program is running.if I press to 'Activate' button the program starts capturing all keypresses. This makes it impossible to type into Word, or any program for that matter as long as my program is activated.Once my prgram is deactivated I can type in any program normally.
View 11 RepliesSo I found this little morpg. The game is fun but really repetitive. I would like to simplify some of the tasks in the game. I do not know how to start this project. How can I recored arrow keys and then tell the computer to enter the arrow keys? One of the objectives in the game is to run around a farm 2x and scare away any wolfs. So the commands would be "arrow key up" for 30sec and then "arrow key right" for 4 sec and repeat. I have worked with robots in real life for some time. We would fill arrays with such instructions. One of the most fun things to program! But I have no idea how to do this in VB.
View 12 RepliesI have a problem detecting whether one of the arrow keys is pressed, all the other keys seem to be detected apart from the arrow keys??? I have set key preview to True........ It detects the arrrow keys BUT ONLY if I have NO other controls on the form??? example..
Me.Text = e.keycode
It works, but then if I add a button for example, it stops.
I need to be able to move it up with the up arrow key, down with the down arrow key, left with the left arrow key, and right with the right arrow key.I know my "Player" works by the way:
