The form is a dialog, with KeyPreview = True and AcceptButton = (none)Handling Me.KeyDown, and Me.KeyPress do not trigger when I press either the Up, Down, or Enter buttons. Me.KeyUp will fire on up and down, but not enter.I put a breakpoint on the procedure declaration and the first line of the procedure (the Me.KeyPress and Me.KeyDown event handler procedures), and they never fire.

View 7 RepliesI know there is a way to remove it for the system, but I don't want to remove the little arrow from the desktop icons, I only want to remove it in my application window I am making. Adding the registry hack removes it from my app as well as the desktop, yet I want to keep those on the desktop. Is there something I can add in my app that will allow me to remove them in my application only? I am showing the icons in a lsitview

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to develop macros for games. I'm currently coding with vb 2010 and I'm using the keybd_event API. It works great, I've done many working macros but I cannot find a way to send arrow strokes using this API. (Left, Right, Up, Down) I don't want to use the numpad. Here is what I've found: [Code] For some reason, nothing happens, no keystroke seems to have been sent. When I use any other ascii decimal from the ascii table, it does work but not for the arrow strokes.

So 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 try to add handle for each control in my panel (panel includes)in a few words I have a panel with other panels inside, the latter in turn contain other panel, here is a screen to learn more:
I try doing this, but it is not the result I want to achieve ... If you look at the picture you will easily understand my problem:vb
For Each ctrl As Control In Me.Controls' in this case Me is my Form1AddHandler ctrl.MouseHover, AddressOf ctrl_MouseOverAddHandler ctrl.MouseLeave, AddressOf ctrl_MouseLeaveNext
In a program I am making I have a custom user interface. I have dozens of different panels each containing various controls. When the form opens, a text file which contains the positions of each of these panels (and whether or not they are on the form) is loaded and the panels are placed appropriately

AddHandler COMTimeout.Elapsed, AddressOf TimeoutEvent
however, the handler may also be:

I'm making a program that uses recursion to transform the nodes in a treeview to the items in a contextmenustrip. The nodes will have tags within them that when I add a handler to the menuitem, it will run through a script from the tag to tell the program what to do, the only problem is that I don't need a tag or an even handler for any of the menuitems that have dropdown items. How could I do this?

i made a .exe launcher, i was able to launch a program named minecraft using the process.start. But this certain program generates error usually, so what i tried to do was get the window title of the minecraft and categorize if its an error or the actual game.
This is what i did:
Code:
So this transfers the window title of the launched program to a textbox then the "if statement" compares it and if its the error, it kills the error and relaunch the program. This is already a working program but i want to make the launching faster, the problem is if i hasten the interval of timer 2, it sometimes kill the non, error program that successfully launched. If anyone can help me, Hide the error or remove it please do help me. Im not yet an expert on vb.net but i want to learn from the best.
I have to create controls for inputting info to create people objects in the program, because I don't know how many people they are going to input, I have a button that they can press to add more fields.
I need to add a doubleclick event for these dynamic controls (text boxes), how can I create an event for them if they haven't been created yet. Also, as far as I know you cant make a variable part of an object name while declaring it. I need to do something like
Dim dynamicText & (Append variable counter each time a box is made)As New TextBox
dynamicText &variable counter. Name = "TimeTextBox"
dynamicText.Text = "SdgsdG"
dynamicText.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(100, 100)
[code].....
Also is there a way to like copy and paste a group of controls via code instead of having to code each individual one like if I had to do a text box along with a combo box and a lable all at once, can I throw it into something so I only have to recreate the container?
I am playing around with Drag and Drop, and I am having an issue with AddHandler. I am creating labels and displaying them on a form. Before I add each label to the form, I add 2 event handlers (DragEnter and DragLeave). When I run the code, it hits the first event handler (DragEnter), but doesn't hit the second event handler (DragLeave). Either I have coded something wrong, or the second handler is not being added.
Here is my code (note this is just something Im playing around with for learning):
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

View 2 RepliesI have many textbox controls and they are named as txt1.text, txt2.text, txt4.txt etc.I want to raise the event "Leave" when txt1.text leaves or txt2.text leaves.but with a single handler.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a program with a fairly complex graphical interface. Due to the volume of information possible in the interface, the tooltip, or something like it, seems likely to be a fairly critical means of obtaining feedback. However, after a bit of testing, there are a few features that I am not really enamored with. First, I am changing the tooltip text dynamically based on the portion of a control that the mouse hovers over. This is done in the Hover event handler. What I am seeing is that once the hover event is raised once for a control, it appears not to be raised for that control again unless the mouse leaves the control and re-enters. Therefore, the tooltip is set based on where the mouse hovers the first time it hovers on the control, then doesn't change until the mouse has left the control.
More disturbingly, the tooltip sometimes doesn't show up at all. It appears that if I am quick enough about moving the mouse over the control, then hovering does nothing and no tooltip shows up at all. The way to get the tooltip to show up is to move the mouse smoothly, and somewhat slowly, over the control, then pause. As long as the motion is slow enough, the tooltip always shows up. However, if the mouse is then moved, the tooltip goes away, and won't return until the mouse has left the control and come back to it. So basically, First, I will look into showing something on MouseMove rather than Hover, as Hover appears to be inconsistent, at best. Yet that doesn't solve the problem that the tooltip is too inconsistent in behavior. Is there an alternative, or timing property settings for the tooltip that improves responsiveness?
the menu in the button is opened with click in the small down arrow, but NOT if click in the button image.
