Does anyone know the global keycode for the windows key? I know that alt =1, control =2, and shift = 4. Also if you know the answer can you tell me where I can find the global keycodes?
View 2 RepliesI have sent out software created with VB2008 Express and everything has installed correctly on my PC which is running windows vista. But they can't get it to install, one is running XP the other Vista, they get the following errors

Windows Vista
system.windows.forms.data visualization version 3.5.0.0 be installed in the global assembley cache first
Is there an easy way to get the corresponding keydata (keycode combination) for some value in that enum? I cannot find one, and creating a switch statement for all those is a bit overkill...The integer values of the enum elements are not keycodes, but some 'unknown' big numbers, so simply casting to int won't work.
View 1 RepliesI have various input textboxes on my form. And based on entries made in each of the input textboxes, I update the display textbox. However, using AppendText message of textbox. I have my input textboxes set to accept only numeric values. So for each character inputted correctly, I update the display Textbox. Problem I have is when user selects Key.Back or Key.Delete, what I would like to do is do a Delete of last character in the display textbox, but I am yet to get this right. How do I delete the last character in the string that is contained in a TextBox using AppendText()

I need to be able to send keycode keys.apps (windows context menu key) to an application. Surely if I can detect the keypress, there's a way to send the keypress, right?
What I'm doing is having a 3rd party app save a screenshot and the only way to have it do so is through its right click context menu.
what keycode is the dot(decimal) ? i found Keys.Decimal but thats the one on the numpad, what is the one near the question mark on ur keyboard?
View 6 RepliesI wrote this:
Private Sub TextBox2_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox2.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Tab Then
MsgBox("Tab")
End If
End Sub
Why it doesn't work when I press tab on my keyboard?
I want to use e.KeyCode while form is minimized, I'm working on a screenshot-taker if you know what I mean. So Form1 is minimized > User presses F9 (Let's say the key is F9) > An event happens.
View 4 RepliesI'm just trying to learn alot of the tricks and such so I'm making small programs and games to just get the swing of things.I'm having abit of trouble with this one, currently. I'm tying to create a form with two buttons. Now, I want to be able to press two keys on the keyboard and have one of the two buttons activate So, instead of clicking Button1, I pressed Control + C and it will say "Comment" and instead of clicking Button2, I press Control + U and it will say "Uncomment".
Public Class Form1
[code]...
The problem I keep running into is that the only way for the buttons to actually work is if they are already selected (Or, the last one clicked will work but the other will not). Then the keycode will work for them. How do I make this work without having to click on the button prior.
I have this code
If e.KeyCode = Keys.D0 Or e.KeyCode = Keys.D1 Or e.KeyCode = Keys.D2 Or e.KeyCode = Keys.D3 Or e.KeyCode = Keys.D4 Or e.KeyCode = Keys.D5 Or e.KeyCode = Keys.D6 Or e.KeyCode = Keys.D7 Or e.KeyCode = Keys.D8 Or e.KeyCode = Keys.D9 Or e.KeyCode = Keys.Oemplus Then
[Code]....
The output WILL be 189 when I press the - sign. But when I check "Keys.OemMinus" it stands for 189 and when I replace "Keys.OemMinus" with 189 it won't work either!
I checked the Resources file and it's correct. The picture just doesnt change, only shows the last pressed button...
A program cant be exited thu Alt+F4

Edit2: I want it to be in the form so that the form cant be closed unless they press button with Close() command or task manager ends the process

View 4 RepliesHow I can set "global" proxy for all windows programs?

I have this little code here in vb 2008, I created a flag var to see if the user has clicked the button "enter" so the flag would be set to true. If its true then the game would begin...
I have a label that says "Press enter to Play", and if the user presses play the flag is true, the label visible is set to false. I have the keydown event to check if the enter button has been pressed, i checked if it works and it does, but the var of the flag is always false in my other subs...
Thats the thing with vb i dont understand is when you make a public variable, and when you change the value of the var in a sub, it doesnt change globally.
CODE:
I don't really know how to call this...Anyhow... I have two objects (for example, "A" and "B") of the same type/class. I have an event (for example, "Refreshed") in both objects. Is it possible, that when "Refreshed" fires in "A", it also fires in "B"?
Edit: forgot to mention - "A" and "B" don't "know" each other.
