I'm wondering if anyone knows how to disable a keyboard key. This is because I am working on a space invaders game. In the game I have ammo. So after the ammo = 0 I want to make sure that the player cannot continue to keep shooting (using the keyboard) even though there is no ammo left.

I'm making a security program that locks the users screen. I have already figured out how to disable task manager but now I need to disable the task bar from showing and the start menu. Also, trying to do an event on alt+F4 doesn't seem to stop the program from exiting. Any other solutions? This program is intended for security reasons and I am not using it for any viruses.

I am disabling line items in a combobox I have based on various test conditions (see code below). The problem is that when I first open the combobox my method below isn't getting called. It only gets called when the mouse hovers over each line item.
This is resulting in the list looking very different before/after a hover (see png file for a before/after picture).
how to show the list disabled on open?

I have a freshly initialized array that's being passed to a sub routine ByRef to be populated. The array is always empty when passed to the sub routine, which ReDims it as necessary.However, VS complains about this in a Warning:
Quote:
Warning1Variable 'MyArr' is passed by reference before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime.
Dim MyArr() As Integer
Dim AnotherArr() As String
Call MySub(MyArr, AnotherArr)
The MySub routine populates both arrays. This Warning is meaningless because I very specifically want to pass the arrays to the sub routine BEFORE assigning values because those values will be assigned by the sub routine.Can I disable this type of Warning? No null reference exception will occur because that is being handled by the sub routine.

View 1 RepliesI am building an image processing program. As part of this, I have a picturebox, set to AutoSize.
When I load an image larger than the size of the picturebox's container the box automatically expands and shows scroll bars. This is what I want. I can scroll the picturebox using the mouse to click on these, but I would like to be able to scroll the image using the arrow keys. This poses a couple of problems:
1) finding what properties to change or events to raise when a key is pressed. It is a property of the picturbox, or a property of the container?
2) dealing with repeated scrolling while the arrow keys are held. I know I can use keydown to detect that an arrow key has been pressed, but how do I continue to scroll as long as the key is held down?

View 3 RepliesI'm new in the programming area and I'm having trouble making a calculator. My question is: How do I make the calculator work using only the keyboard, without the need of mouse.

View 14 RepliesI'm currently trying to write a program that will clone input from one program and broadcast it to 4 other windows (Mouse and keyboard, with the exception of the enter key). This is for a World of Warcraft and it is legal.

Working the first time with a CheckedListBox.
Question: is it possible to disable an item of the box so you can't change the value of the checkbox.
Take the following fundamental code:
Private Sub btnStop_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStop.Click
btnStop.Enabled = False
'Lengthy code procedure
btnStop.Enabled = True
End Sub
I've just notice that when I click on a button, and try to disable it in order to avoid the user clicking on it several times during process (or disable the entire form for that matter), the application somehow records the subsequent clicks and processes them after the button has been re-enabled. But that's not the behavior that I want at all. I just want to disable any user interaction with the button (or the form perhaps) until processing of the Button_Click event is completed. How can I do this?
