VS 2010 Button Focus Messing Up Keydown Events?

I have an application similar to calculator, with button from 0 to 9, Enter and Clear.

Select Case e.KeyCode

VS 2010 Usercontrol Focus And Key Events?

Jan 15, 2012

A form's key events will fire when you press a key. Place a control on that form and it won't happen any more because that control has focus. There are exceptions to this however as you will see if you place just a h or v scrollbar on the form. The key event will fire because the scrollbars can't receive focus as is demonstrated by the following

Private Sub ScrollBar1_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles VScrollBar1.GotFocus
Debug.Print("Scroll GF")
End Sub

[code]....

So I've made my own special scrollbar usercontrol and i can't figure out how to have it leave the key events alone. I'm pretty sure that the problem is that my usercontrol can receive focus at the moment.

I found that the way of doing this is "SetStyle(Windows.Forms.ControlStyles.Selectable, False)". I put that in the new event of my usercontrol and now it looks like this:

Public Sub New()
' This call is required by the designer.
InitializeComponent()

.net - Focus On KeyDown In .NET?

Jan 29, 2012

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.

KeyDown And KeyPress Events Not Responding

Mar 7, 2009

In the application I'm working on I use F1 and also a right mouse click to close the application since the graphics display full screen and there's no control in the upper right corner to close with. I use a good number of different keypresses to control things and everything works fine. When I switch away from the form that the applications starts in to a different form I'm not getting any response from either a KeyDown or a KeyPress event. Maybe someone knows what's going on. The ButtonClick and MouseDown events are responding just fine but for some reason the KeyDown and KeyPress events aren't. Below is code for one of the Forms that is unresponsive in this way.

Control Keydown Events To Activate Code

May 9, 2012

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

IDE :: Using KeyDown And KeyPress Events On The Same TextBox Control

Jun 4, 2009

I have a TextBox which Is allowed only to read certain characters. I use KeyPress event to handle this event. I understand that The KeyPress event does not handle the pressing of the DELETE key on the keyboard. I do not want the user to be able to delete characters in the txtbox by using the DELETE key, I want the user only to be able to use the backspace key. I am writing this code in Visual Basic 2005. The following code appears to work in handling the DELETE key, but I am concerned that I might get bitten by the fact that I am using KeyDown and KeyPress on the same control (txtSource).

private sub txtSource_KeyDown(byval sender as object, byval e as KeyEventArgs) handles txtSource.KeyDown
IF e.KeyData = System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Delete then
e.handled=true
end if
end sub

VS 2008 KeyDown And Mouse Scroll Events?

Sep 26, 2010

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.

VS 2008 : Use The Keydown/keyup Events With Buttons In The Same Project And It Not Working Properly?

May 12, 2009

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?

Forms :: Use The Focus Events Of The Combobox's To Determine?

Jan 7, 2010

I have two questions for anyone who can throw some idea's my way question 1:I am currently working on a control with three combo box's. This control will be nested on a form, and I want the on-board timer to track how long each control is active. I am trying to use the focus events of the combobox's to determine if the control is active so the program will know when the timer should be started and stopped. My problem is, for example, when the user causes the text property of the combo boxes to change, the folowing code runs:

[Code]...

As you can see, there are points in this sub-routine that can cause the focus to shift, as well as fire the text changed event. While this all happens faster than is really noticable, I would like to eliminate the extra cycles if at all possible. As I mentioned in question one, I am adding this control to a form, to be more clear I am adding multiple instances of this control to a single form, and I am trying to use the focus events to determine which of the controls within the form are active; however, when the form itself is no longer the active application, whether it is minimized, behind another application or otherwise, all of the timers stop. I want whichever control was active at the time that the form was deactivated, to continue as if nothing changed.

Forms :: Base Window Events Are Triggered When Focus Is On Another Form On Its Top?

Apr 3, 2009

I am migrating my code from vb.net 1.1 framework to vb.net 3.5In my windows application, the base window has some buttons and events are written for the same.I have shortcuts defined for these buttons also, for example: ctrl+d, DEL (keyboard) etc.Now i open a property Grid form on top of my base window for a selected object.Even when the focus is on this property grid, i am noticing that my base window events are firing on pressing those shortcuts.

example:I select some text in my property grid and hit delete button from keyboard. The delete event that i have written for the selected object gets fired and the text is not deleting.I fail to understand why is it happening. It wasnt behaving like this in .net 1.1.In .net 1.1 it would delete the text and only when the focus is back on the base window, hitting Delete would call the event.How do i control such a behavior? Is there some property that i need to set for property grid in .net 3.5 to prevent base window events from firing till the time focus is on property grid form?

VS 2010 Any Tips Or Techniques For Debugging In Mouse Move Events / When Mouse Button Is Down / Has To Stay That Way?

Jun 6, 2011

I'm currently debugging a form that sets a flag when the mouse button is pressed, then clears the flag when the mouse button is released. As long as the mouse button is pressed, the user can move the mouse around and a few things happen depending on where they move. One of the things that happens is that a timer starts, or stops, and a few things change color depending on the mouse position. The timer starts when it should, then stops when it should, but once stopped, it is not re-starting when it should. I can verify that MouseMove events are getting through, because coloring changes as I move the mouse, as it should. This would be a simple thing to debug...except that it requires the darn mouse button to be down, and it uses the mouse move event. Anybody who has put a breakpoint in a mouse move event handler knows the issue: There are THOUSANDS of them. Worse yet, since the mouse button is necessary for switching to the IDE, as well as setting a breakpoint (technically, a keyboard shortcut could do this if I could shift focus), I can't wait for the problem to happen, then switch to the IDE and set a breakpoint to see what is happening then.Does anybody have any tips or techniques for debugging in mouse move events when the mouse button is down and has to stay that way? As it is, I'm going to have to write some funky code into the method just so that I have a place to get a breakpoint when I need it without breaking on every one of the mouse move events.
