In a VB.NET Winforms application, I have a form that contains both a datagridview and a textbox. I have some menu item entries that have shortcuts of Ctrl + X, Ctrl + C, and Ctrl + V that operate on the datagridview. However, these override the default cut, copy, and paste shortcuts for the textbox. How can I make the menu shortcuts only apply when the datagridview has focus?
View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know an easy way to set a keyboard shortcut for a tab in a tab control in Visual Studio 2010? Is there some property I can set?
I looked online, but all the articles I saw were very confusing.
I created shortcuts for some of my exe's in the program menu. For example, I might create shortcuts for a.exe, v.exe, and g.exe. By default, it aligns as a, g, v (in alphabetical order). I want to place my shortcuts in a different order, such as (v, a, g).
In short, I want to be able to change the order for the shortcuts it creates to something other than alphabetical order.

I can register the new hotkey easily with RegisterHotkey. I just need to unregister the hotkeys Windows has registered and add their functionality in the new hotkey.
I want to use the same menu shortcut keys in a MDI child as in the parent...the problem is that the parent seems to receive the Event first and is calling his menu entry. The child (though it does have the focus) does never receive any event whatsoever...I can bypass this behaviour by adding a Textbox to the Menu, and the moment that one has the focus the menu shortcuts are working as expected (child gets it first, after that it's passed through to the parent).

View 2 RepliesI create a class "Planet" that can be inherited. One of the purposes of inheriting is to create a template with different default property values. Eg:
Public Sub New
MyBase.New
MyBase.ForeColor = Red
[code]....
Now, to stop the defaults serializing in the InitializeComponent method, there are 2 ways:If I've implemented the properties using the 'DefaultValue' attribute, and made them overridable, the attribute can be overriden with the new value.The problem with this is, there's no way to just make just the attributes overridable, as opposed to the whole property.I could implement every property with protected Reset'PropertyName' and ShouldSerialize'PropertyName' methods. However, this is a bit of a pain in the arse.Is it, generally, an important consideration to ensure that someone who overrides your base class has the ability to change the default values of a property?
I am using VS2008 and creating forms. By default, the underscore of the character in a textbox when using an ampersand is not shown when I run the application. ex. "&Goto Here" is not underlining the G until I press the ALT key.Is there a way to have this underline the text that I put an ampersand in front of when the form/application starts instead of having to have the user press the alt key?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to assign a keyboard shortcut to a macro but "Press shortcut keys" textbox does not accept input. The "Remove" and "Assign" buttons are disabled. I have a command highlighted and I've tried in all the available "Keyboard Mapping Schemes". I've noticed that on some of the samples on "Modifying Keyboard Shortcuts" there were buttons for creating new mapping schemes. I'm assuming those are a visual studio version prior to mine - maybe 2003. Mine only contains the reset button.

I have some VB.Net WinForms I imported from VB2005 that are MDI Child forms. In the old project the clipboard shortcuts work (Ctrl-V, etc.) but in the VS2010 project they do not. the ShortCutsEnabled property is true.Any way to get these working again without adding special code to replicate the feature? I have a bunch of forms to convert....The parent does have KeyPreview but I can comment that out and the problem still exists. I also hook the TextChanged event for dirty logic but I can comment that out also to no avail.

If it is checked, a user would have to press the ALT key to make the underline visible (for each form).
View 8 RepliesSo recently my Netbook keyboard stopped working, I got this new one. That would not be a problem if it was not for the missing [FN] key. My computer has several shortcuts, like FN + F6 = Turns screen off.
I cant seem to figure out how to bind these shortcuts to buttons in Visual Basic so I can just hit the button and turn the screen off that way, I've only used VB to make small simple fun stuff.
So, I was making shortcuts for a text editor I made. The first 3, that I originally included were control-b control-i and control-u for the bold italics and underline. That worked fine. Recently, I added control-s and control-o for save and open. I don't know why, but once I press control-s or control-o once, the control key seems to stay "pressed", so whenever I press just b, u, i, s, or o, they activate the commands. Here's my
