I'm trying to determine when the 'Left' and 'Right' keys are pressed, for keys that have a counter part. Like, Shift, Alt and Control. But it doesn't seem like any the counter parts have a unique KeyCode or KeyData. If I press the right or the left keys, I get the same KeyCode each time:
[Code]....
so here is the code
If e.KeyCode = Keys.F1 Then
DefaultSettingsToolStripMenuItem_Click(Me, EventArgs.Empty)
ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.F2 Then
[Code]....
The problem is that when you press F1 - F4 or F9 nothing happens, am i using this code wrong? I have the code under the Form1_KeyUp section of the code.
Is there any built in way to get the key name from the decimal alt codes returned by KeyEventArgs.KeyCode? e.g. get "Space" from 32 If not I guess I'll have to create a huge array.
View 5 RepliesI'm working on a project that contains hotkeys, but I don't wish to have global hotkeys. At the moment, I'm using KeyDown and e.KeyCode for hotkeys. I've created test projects where these worked perfectly fine, but on my main project, they don't register.

View 4 RepliesI'm running a bunch of automated tasks in a thread I'm creating via the Thread class. So I'm not using a BackgroundWorker.
During parts of the automation, the thread may exit. This is normal. But when the thread completes, I need to finish up some additional tasks. I can anticipate all of the conditions in which the thread closes, but I'd rather not to do the final tasks at each point, as this will create a lot of redundant code.
So instead, I wanted to write an event that is triggered when the thread exits. I looked through the Thread class, but all I could find was the ThreadState property, which has a Stopped property. But, when I try to add a handler to that property, it doesn't allow me.
I couldt find an event that I can use to determinate which tab page is selected. I couldt find SelectIndexChanged

i have a program called Vip Task Manager.This program lets me set up task which others have to complete.When they are done with a task they have to mark it "completed" and make a report on what they have done and used to perform this task.Vip Task Manager has a button which directs them to an upload form, now when they press the "open" button I would like this to happen: Open a certain report making program I made myself.When they finished writing their report and press save, the program saves this report on a dedicated network HDD (.txt file) and closes itself.Then add the file or link to the upload form in Vip Task Manager.What it all comes down to is that they dont have to minimize Vip task manager, open the report making software, save it, go to vip task manager, press upload, press open, look where this file is saved, select it, and upload it.now, typed in red is whats already been taken care of.The rest, I have no idea where to begin to be honest.First I want to find out how to retrieve that a button is pressed in a existing program.

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 tried to build my project but it has 1 build error
:Property 'Keycode' is non-nullable.
I double click it but it points nowhere. I'm really desperate. My project consists of Crystal Report. It had just been upgraded from version 8.5 to version 11. Is it possible that this is the source of error?
