I thought it was simple but i guess it's not...How do I detect when the tab key is pressed in a textbox?I've tried the following code in KeyPress, KeyDown, Leave, etc. events but the tab is not detected.
View 6 RepliesI have a series of textboxes that I need the user to be able to navigate. When the last textbox in the series is filled I want the cursor to go to the first box in the series and have the next row in the datagridview selected. The problem is, for some reason, the tab button being pressed (keyup, keydown, and keypress) is not being detected by the conventional handling of those events. Instead, the tab on that box goes to the next item in the tab index.How would I capture that key or key press event and execute my code?
View 3 RepliesI know that you cannot disable Ctrl Alt Del for security reasons. I was able to figure out how to disable ALT+F4 in my application though. What I am wanting to know is if anyone can give me some code to where If CTRL ALT DEL is pressed then my application will close. I have tried everything, and I just cannot seem to get the program to recognize if the user presses ctrl alt delete.
So basically I need some code that detects if a user presses ctrl alt delete then if htye did it closes the application.

I am working on an application and I need urgent help. One of my forms contains a web browser. I need to detect if F3 key is pressed while the web browser is active, so a dialog box will appear for a particular functionality of the application. But unfortunately web browser control does not have keyup, keydown or similar event to help me detect if the F3 key is pressed. As far as I know, one way to solve this problem is adding a menu which has F3 shortcut. But my application does not contain any menus, so I dont want use a menu in this part of the application.

View 3 RepliesI have two issues. The first is that I want to make a textbox scrolling similar to how credits scroll. I don't want it to move on the form, just to scrolling the text down a line/pixel. I thought I could do it with the "Lines" element, but I'm not exactly sure how to execute it.
The other problem is with my flash screen. Right now I have it set so when a button is click, it goes onto the main form. I don't want to use the button but rather have it so if Enter is pressed at any time, it'll go to the main form. All the solutions I've tried to use involve the "e.Keycode" code, but for some reason its unavailable.

I've been searching this for quite a while now, but I've come up with very little so far. I need to figure out how to determine when a laptop lid has been closed so an execute an action when this occurs. But the power settings will be setup to where the laptop does not go into sleep or hibernate mode.
View 5 RepliesI've been attempting to determine if a notebook's lid has been closed when the power setting is set to "Do Nothing."I was able to get this to work by trapping the WM_POWERBROADCAST message, but it would only work when the computer when to sleep. I've tested this on many different notebooks and the results vary. Even when changing the power settings correctly, the results were fairly inconsistent.So I posted this question in General Developer and penegate offered a possible solution.[code] I'm thinking that maybe the message I'm trapping isn't correct, but I'm not 100% sure. When I Google that message, nothing comes up. Two links appear. The one on VBF and some German site. Nothing's on MSDN.
