WinForms Text Controls - Keypress Event Handler
Mar 14, 2011
In connection with a windows form's text control the keypress event handler provides a key's identity through the KeyChar property of the event argument. This works fine for all alphanumeric keys and Ctl-a ... Ctl-z, Backspace etc. but does nothing for such keys as Insert, Delete, Home, End, and the navigation keys. I would also want to read Ctl and Alt keys combinations etc. I have done these thing before, too many years ago, but forgotten it all. Tried the reference manual, but have not enough years left to succeed that way.

I have a Windows form UserControl that receives electrical signal waveform data into a 128 element byte array Property every 1,000 ms.
I would like to have the Paint event draw a a subset of the 128 sample points of the array every
100ms (12-13 graphic.drawline operations) to simulate a rolling waveform display such as one would see on an oscilloscope or a medical monitoring device. Is it possible, and if so, how would I set the paint event handler to fire every 100 ms?

I would like to ask a question with DataGridView event handling.The event I am going to handle is the double-clicking of a cell in a DataGridView:If the DataGridView's are statically drawn on the form at design time, then it is easy to assign to each of them an even handler by double clicking the corresponding event in the properties panel.
Private
SubDataGridView1_CellDoubleClick(sender
AsSystem.Object,
[code]....
So basically I have handle to all of the DataGridView's. Is there a way to create a common event handler on this basis?

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've created some dynamic controls on page load and added an event handler to handle the click event of a dynamic link button. Within the sub of the click event handler, I need to reference some other (non-dynamic) controls on the page and change their value. However, I get a null reference exception - object not set to an instance of an object - each time I try to reference a control on the page (in this case label1). What am I doing wrong in creating these dynamic controls or with my event handler?
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
'Get the data to populate the controls

The Code:

I have the below code on the KeyPress event of a textbox howver a need has now come in meaning I have to do myTextbox.Text = "A input string"
Private Sub ChequeAmountKeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtChequeAmount.KeyPress
Dim tb As TextBox = sender
If (e.KeyChar = "." AndAlso tb.Text.Length = 0) Then
e.Handled = True
[Code]...
This input string could contain a format that I do not want and whilst the keypress event caters for the need when the user is typing I need to handle it in the case of a text assignment.I thought firing the keypress event after I assigned the text property but I dont think that will offer what I want.

I have the following code to validate two text box entries to make sure that they are valid dates. My problem is that I cannot figure out how to pass the text box value as an argument so I can use the method to handle the text validation of two different text boxes. Here is what I have so far:
Private Sub txtBirthdate_Validating(sender As System.Object, e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles txtBirthdate.Validating, txtSpouseBirthday.Validating

to know if a control have any handler. I have a dgv and in the editing control Showing event i add an event handler like this: VB AddHandler e.Control.KeyPress, AddressOf Grid_KeyPress_NumbersOnly This event it's added in some of the columns and for the other ones i remove it... The problem it's when the user, for example selects 3 columns where the event it's added, then if the user selects one where the event it's removed, it doesn't remove all handlers... So i have 2 solutions, when removing i put multiple removes or the other check if the event handler it's added doesn't add again. I prefer this second option, but i don't know how to check if the event it's added?

remove an event handler from within the event handler?
I have a class that gets data from a hand scanner. When the scan is complete and the data is validated, the class fires a custom "ScanComplete" event and returns the data in a custom EventArgs.
In the calling program, I'm creating an instance of the scanning class and adding a handler for the "ScanComplete" event. In the event handler I get the data that was scanned and then remove the handler.
It seems to be working but it feels wrong to remove the handler while I'm running inside the handler. Will this cause a problem?

I have a Windows Form application that has a global error handler to display unexpected errors.
Namespace My
Class MyApplication
Delegate Sub ProcessParametersDelegate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args() As String)
[code]....
1) for the same deployed code, I SOMETIMES get line number in the displayed StackTrace error message and sometimes do not, even when the error message includes source code that I have written rather than a referenced binary. The project is compiled with a DEBUG configuration.
2) The application strangely minimizes to the tray when the error occurs (I thin it is unlikely that anyone can diagnose this issue w/o my more code posted, but I'll mention it anyways)
3) When I try to intentionally raise an error by, for example, dividing by zero hoping to test by global error handler, I get a dialog error message from the interactive debugger rather than jumping into my global error handler (which i want to debug because there is more to it than I posted.) Do you have any idea how to triggerand force teh execution of the global event handler?

When I utilize AddHandler in VB to add my own method to the Click event :
AddHandler Button.Click, AddressOf myButton_Click
I see that my code executes last - after other event handlers for the Button_Click event. Is there a way to insert my event handler in front of other events so that it executes first?

Is it possible to set a project default for VB.NET winforms projects so that the default Modifier for controls added to winforms is Private (not Friend)?I know there's a "modifiers" property in the properties window so I can set it for each individual control however I would like to change the project so from now on myself and other developers have to specifically decide to change from friend to private. (Which I would strongly discourage them from doing).I believe there is no way of doing this, but on another forum a while ago someone mentioned it would be possible with an add-in (but didn't name the add-in or where to get it).

I couldn't manage what the matter is not even after searching. Here my question goes:I need to do a simple task (close my form on pressing escape key) and I use the following code:
Code:
Protected Overrides Sub OnKeyDown(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs)
Select Case (e.KeyData)
'Close on Escape
Well , it works when I click escape my form closes , but.. if I have pressed by accident or some else matter any of the arrow keys (up , down , left , right) before escape and then hit escape nothing happens. I checked if any other key does that and as I see it does not.

I just want to ask why my KeyPress event is apparently not working. What I want is that when I press the letter m, the selectedindex property of my listboxes would change. Here is the code;
Select Case Asc(e.KeyChar)
Case 13
Try
tray.ListBox1.SelectedIndex = tray.ListBox1.SelectedIndex + 1
[Code]....
I also want to know what the "e.handled = true" is statement for. I set the KeyPreview property of my form to false and true but it's not working as well. the KeyPress event should be triggered regardless of the control within the form that is in focus.

I am trying to create keypress handler that will execute a line of code when Tab, Space, or Enter key is pressed or passed by the scanner gun while the control is in focus. I got it to work with space and enter key but with tab key, the cursor will just jump to the next tab stop without executing the code.
Private Sub Button2_KeyPress(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Button2.KeyPress
Dim keyChar As Char

I'm trying to create an application that uses a PictureBox to display an image. I use the arrows keys to switch images and the space bar to rotate the current image. Since the KeyDown or KeyPress events don�t get fired when I click the arrow keys, I had to override ProcessCmdKey. It works fine, the problem is: the applications also has a few buttons and when I click an arrow key the image gets switched but the button�s focus change as well, worst yet, when I press the space bar, the image gets rotated but the button which has the focus gets pressed.
