When The User Presses "Enter" In A ToolStripTextBox?
Feb 22, 2009
I have a ToolStripTextBox (the name of it is SearchBox) and I would like it when after the user types something and presses enter it takes them to a URL. I've got the URL part sorted out, but I need to know what goes afterI don't see any event in the intellisense popup for something when the user presses "enter."So, in other words, how do I perform an action after the user presses enter?
Private Sub ToolStripComboBox1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SearchBox.**?????**
Dim SearchString As String

Inside a multiline Text Box I want it so that when a user presses Ctrl AND Enter then a new line is entered. But, if they press Enter on it's own, then it acts like the Accept button on the Form. I believe this is how Facebook does it.
Ctrl+Enter=NewLine Enter=Accept

I need to add a code to this piece of code.
Quote:
SetCursorPos(714, 813)
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0)
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0)[code]......
When the cursor presses on the location, it will write in the box the word Enter. Now what I want it to do is, instead of writing the enter, it would get the word from a textbox1 and would write it in the box that the cursor pressed.

I'm trying to work out how to detect if the user has pressed an f key I have this so far:
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
Label1.Text = e.KeyChar
End Sub
This detects when the user presses a character key and outputs it via Label1.text, but it doesnt work on all keys?

I'm trying to find out a way to detect when ever the user presses CTRL -ALT - DEL or Window + L to lock the PC.The code I'm using is
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
If (GetAsyncKeyState(17) AndAlso GetAsyncKeyState(18) AndAlso GetAsyncKeyState(46)) Or ((GetAsyncKeyState(91) Or GetAsyncKeyState(92)) AndAlso GetAsyncKeyState(76)) Then[code]....
However, as soon as the user presses CTRL-ALT-DEL the Windows Security Screen comes up and it is too fast for VB to detect that the keys have been pressed.I did a little reaserch on how to work around this issue and found that a GINA stub can be written which can delay the Windows Security Screen by some time say 2 secs which would be enough for VB to detect that the keys have been pressed.Also disabling Ctrl-Alt-Del through VB does not work because it is too fast for VB and I would like not to disable CTRL-ALT-DEL

im trying to make a program that only listens to a few keys that the user presses, and if one of them is pressed, it carries out a specified command.for example, right now,i found a keylogger that could carry out my command, but id rather use something else if possible. right now, i have a timer running this:
For i = 1 To 255
result = 0
result = GetAsyncKeyState(i)[code]....
Then, in the textbox1_textchanged, i search for like if textbox1.text.contains("M") or something.problem with this, is im pretty sure its a keylogger, and i dont want to have to have that. also, it does not work in vista.
Found a solution! (should have researched more throughly!)
Option Strict On
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices[code].....

the goal i want to accomplish is when the user presses a button, "moneyamount" increases by a random number generated. the problem i am having is that after the action is finished the script does not seem to save the new value and always starts at zero. here is the script:
Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles dojob1button.Click
Dim moneyamount As Integer = moneyamount + Int(Rnd() * 10)
moneylabel.Text = "$" & moneyamount
End Sub

I need a box to pop up, when a user presses "Close" It will then say "Are you sure you wish to close this program?"and give a Yes or No option. If Yes is pressed, it will close the application. If No is pressed, it will close the popup box and the program will remain running.

in my form i have 4 textboxes and i want all not to be empty while saving the data.I have put condition in save button,when user presses the save button to save data, to check all the textboxes not to be empty. My question is that, i want to focus to that particular textbox which is empty during saving the data.
For example: i have txt1,txt2,txt3,txt4 as textboxes in the form if txt1 is empty while saving, the focus should switch to txt1 rather user himself have to go there.

I have in a menu a ToolStripTextBox where the user can enter a CASE NUMBER to FIND. And I have a ToolStripMenuItem below that says QUICK FIND - clicking this will find the case you put in the textbox. Tabbing out of the textbox puts you at this TOOLSTRIPMENUITEM so that ENTER on the keyboard will trigger the FIND. I want to make it so that pressing ENTER while still in the textbox will trigger that same TOOLSTRIPMENUITEM action. Do I have to trap keypresses or is there a more natural way to accomplish this?

I am placing 2 of these on my form and want to do the following:
1. When the control is not Focused and the user clicks inside the control, I want to highlight all text within the control. I expect to use SelectAll() to accomplish this.
2. When the control IS Focused and the user clicks inside the control, I want standard actions to occur; i.e., the user can click-and-drag to highlight, double-click to highlight,
3. When the user leaves the control (clicks on something elsle), if the control is empty, I want to populate it with pre-defined text. If it's not empty, leave text as-is.
I'm having problems, though, with figuring out #1 and #3. I have tried Enter/Leave, GotFocus/LostFocus to no avail. With Enter/Leave, the text will highlight the first time a user enters the control, but I can't seem to get the program to think the user has "left" the control. That is, the "Enter" code will not fire again.
I also thought about using the Click event, but I don't want the SelectAll() code to fire for EVERY click in the TextBox controls.

I have a ToolStripTextBox on a ContextMenu that opens upon right-clicking a NotifyIcon in the systray that I'm using to 'filter' what is shown in the menu. My trouble is that as soon as the text box loses focus, the menu closes. Is there a way to force the menu to stay open?
I tried changing "AutoClose" to false, but then my menu wouldn't open at all when the NotifyIcon was clicked.

I have a toolstriptextbox and a custom context menu strip with a "Cut" menu item. When you select text in the textbox, display the context menu and select the menu item, the cut method of the textbox is being executed, the text is pushed to the clipboard, but the text is not being removed from the textbox. The code is as simple as follows.
Sub menuItemCut_Click (byval sender as object, e as eventargs) handles menuItemCut.Click
textbox.Cut()
End Sub
I have verified the event is fired, and the selected text in textbox gets sent to the clipboard. For some reason the selected text is not removed from the textbox. Has anyone ran into this issue before when working with a toolstriptextbox?

MessageBox.Show("You must enter a value between 1 and 100", "Name Entry Error", _
MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
End If
But Im not sure whats suppose to go inbetween the speech marks.

If we format a value for percent "{0:#%}" then it will become 400%, and this also applies to all the 3rd party controls I've tried. I've used custom format as a workaround for this but perhaps you guys could enlighten me on this one. If a user inputted 4 for example then did the user intended 4% or 400%? If it were me that I would expect the 4 to be 4% rather than 400%.
