I've encountered another minor problem with using vs 2010...how do you assign shortcut keys? I've read you just click in the shortcut keys option then press the buttons you want to be your shortcuts- this however just acts like I'm pressing the shortcut keys for vs. for instance alt x, which I want to be exit, takes me to debug. Typing alt + x in manually gives me an error saying what I've put in is invalid.

I have an application which I am trying to implement shortcut keys in. The application contains a main window from which dialog popups can be opened. I am having difficulty implementing the shortcut key functionality on the popup windows. I have the following code in one of the popup windows, and even though the first three key entries are the exact same as on the main window (except for the actual button names), which works, the same code does not work on the popup.
Private Sub frmInduction_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Control + Keys.S Or e.KeyCode = Keys.F5 Then
btnAccept.PerformClick()

I am opening the popup window with the following code- is there any way that the problem could be caused by how I am opening the popup?
Using frm As frmChangeValue = New frmChangeValue
frm.ShowDialog()

I'm having a spot of trouble working out how menustrip yet again.I have an MDI project. A child form contains a menustrip that has shortcut keys defined... F1 through F4 at design time. At run-time the child form menustrips are merged into the MDI parent form menustrip.The Function keys do not cause the menu to drop down. *Frutz* I thought okay. I'll use the control's keypress event to trap the F1 key and cause the menu item to drop down Apparently the menu Item is not available in the child form since it was merged to the MDI parent menustrip...*Frippity Frutz* Okay... Call the MDI parent menustrip from the child form...."No menustrip object found".

So I've been trying to make a form in which a few of the buttons have keyboard shortcuts such as the F keys as well as the arrow buttons. Here's the code I've been using

I have a VB 2008 form with about a dozen buttons that use ALT+key shortcuts, e.g. names beginning &S, &N, etc. I also have a menustrip with a couple of entries but I have not assigned shortcut keys to any of them. However, three of the entries on the menustrip begin with S, N, and E. The result is that the shortcut keys for those buttons don't work - instead the shortcut activates the menustrip item. For example, ALT+E brings up the Exit on the menustrip instead of activating the button with the &E... label. I even tried setting the shortcut for the menu item to something totally different, but it doesn't matter.Even though I have programmed something different, the menu strip takes precedence on the shortcut. is there any way to just disable shortcut keys on the menustrip? What I've done for now is alter the names of my menustrip items by numbering them, e.g. "5 Exit" instead of "Exit" so that ALT+5 does the exit and leaves ALT+E for the button I want it to be associated with.

View 4 RepliesI have set shortcutkeys for buttons using properties. Now what i want to do is to underline the character which i have set as shortcut key,on the button text,which is possibe in VB ,(by setting as &Save, now underline will be below the 'S' character),In VB.Net, At runtime it is not displaying the underline for that character.

the underline is H but when i tried to test the programm it does not shown up an underlined?
Instead of repeatedly saying "show numbers" to get the numbering of clickable items to appear with Speech Recognition in Windows 7, I want to assign a keyboard shortcut to trigger this command. How can this be done?
I have been trying to use EmulateRecognition in the Speech API, but the most I've been able to get it to do is display the words "show numbers" in the Speech Recognition window; it hasn't actually performed the show numbers command using this method.
We have localized our application menubar(Ex: Spanish language).The menubar menuitems have few shortcut keys i.e CTRL + N along with the text. The shortcut key is diplaying in some dummy character.We want the menuitem (Ex: New File CTRL+ N) text in local language and CTRL+ N should display as English
cMenuBar.Font = New Font(Configfontname, Configfontsize)
strMenuText = rsManager.GetString("cbmNewFold")

But I also have a button to send my program to the System tray like so:
NotifyIcon1.Visible = True
Me.Visible = False
How can I get my shortcut key to work while my program is in the system tray?
It doesn't work while its a notify icon
the thing is i'm a .net programmer at varsity but i cant figure out how to program or insert shortcut/icon keys on the web browser application e.g back,refresh,stop,go. i'm only able to do this using command buttoms. so i want to use simple icons like those on some web browsers.

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to build an application that when I press a keyboard shortcut, say CTRL + ~, if the window is minimized to the system tray it is displayed.
I have seen a few programs do this and have always wondered how to do this, but haven't had the opportunity to do learn it until now and I really don't know if its something simple or complex.
In my main application Form I have a number of menu and toolbar button functions to which I have assigned shortcut keys such as F10, F11 and F12. The shortcuts work well except for instances where certain controls have focus, such as a 3rd-party grid control. In that case the F11 or other shortcuts are handled by that control and swallowed... they never make it to my event handler of the main UI.
I don't really want to, and can't with the 3rd party controls, modify each control (there are dozens) to pass on my F* keys. I thought of hooking the app's message pump but that seems like a severe solution. Is there a better, cleverer way to handle this situation?
(This is a .NET WinForms MDI (2.0) application which hosts many kinds of home-spun as well as 3rd party components.)
how to apply shortcut keys (like control+c and control+v) in visual basic There was a thread on this I found but I tried all the codes and variations but nothing worked, like nothing would happen when I pressed the keys could someone give me the code about how to activate a "control+t" and a "control+r" control?

View 5 RepliesI've inherited a program from another developer. The software was originally written in VS 2008 and I have VS 2010. Everything appears to work okay, but when I have it open in VS 2010 on my machine, it won't always open the app when I hit the "Play" button.If I hit the green play button I get a status in the bottom left-hand corner that says "Build started...." and then "Build Succeeded", but the program never opens - it just sits there.This behaviour seems to occur on and off. Today it might be like that, and tomorrow and may run fine.
