View 3 RepliesI have a datagridview on a form. I have the .selectionmode set to FullRowSelect.
I use the datagridview.select to put the focus on the form. Pressing up/down arrows they navigate through the results.
How do I capture the enter button being pressed on the current row they have highlighted?
What I will do is take the ID field of that row, I just need to know how to capture the enter button being pressed in that datagridview.
I have alot of experience in working in VBA for excel, but not so much experience in creating my own structures so it's all still a bit foggy. I'm trying to capture the event for when the F1 key is pressed, not just when the form is active, but anytime the program is running. The code below expressing the handling is automatically generated for me in VB Express... But I'd like to change the situation to encompass anytime the program is open. I guess I have to reference events that happen in windows in general, but i don't know how to do it. I think i have to create the even in a class module?

I have to handle a particular kind of KeyDown event. I have made a new virtualdesktop for my GPS Windows CE based thats launch an external program (like TomTom). I have to handle and capture event when key wheels are pressed (volume control). I know only like as "Private Sub Form1_KeyDown()" but this function works only when Form1 is focused... How can I continue to get and traps event when my TomTom is still running and focused?
View 7 RepliesI am creating a keydown event that when the enter key is pressed it performs the button1_click event. I have this much:
if e.keycode = keys.enter then
//code here
endif
I just need to know how to make it perform the button1_click event.
I know the answer to this is out there somewhere, but my Google isn't being much help on this one. I am trying to make my combobox run an event when the enter key is pressed. Here is my code.
Private Sub CmbQuery_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles CmbQuery.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Chr(13) Then
SearchEvent()
End If
End Sub
Ok, so this is VERY simple to do IF I was working with a regular Textbox control. But of course, Microsoft does not have an "AcceptsReturn" property for a MaskedTextbox Control.
So, if the user finishes typing in the MaskedTextbox control and hits the [Enter] key.... How do I capture that key stroke with this type of control? Also, what if this MaskedTextbox is on a UserControl, not a regular WindowsForm?
I'm creating a web browser and I was wondering how I could make a button click cause the enter key to be pressed after without having to do it yourself on the keyboard.

The problem is this is not very efficient. Now I would like to know if its possible to trigger a sub as soon a button D-sub of analog stick is pressed/moved. I've seen the following:

View 3 RepliesI'm designing a Windows Forms Application, and there is a dialog that should NOT exit when the enter key is pressed, instead it has to validate data first, in case enter was pressed after changing the text of a ComboBox. I've tried by telling it what to do on KeyPress event of the ComboBox if e is the Enter key:
[Code]...
But no success so far. When the Enter key is pressed, even with the ComboBox on focus, the whole dialog is closed, returning to the previous form. The validation is NOT done at all, and it has to be done before exiting. In fact, I don't even want to exit on the form's enter KeyPress, the only purpose of the enter key on the whole dialog is to validate the ComboBox (but only when in focus, for the sake of an intuitive UI). I've also tried appending the validation to the KeyPress event of the whole dialog's form, if the key is Enter. NO SUCCESS! It's like my code wasn't there at all.
I implemented a DateTimePicker in my program which has the basic function of renewing data when a date is selected and "Enter" is pressed. Apparently every time Enter is pressed a "beep" sound is played.
Is there a possibility to disable this sound? (Pressing Enter while the DTP is focused is important hence I use it to start the function.)

View 2 RepliesVisual studio nicely provides built-in auto-complete functionality for text boxes and combo boxes. I am using the suggest method of auto complete that provides the user with a list of choices filteres by what they have type. The problem I am having is that when the user makes a selection (via the mouse) VS places the selected text into the textbox and also simulates the enter key being pressed on the textbox.In my program the enter keyup event is used to send the text entered in the text box to the a COM port. In order for this to work as desired the user must be able to select an auto-complete option and then add to it so that they can change settings.Is it possible to stop it from triggering that event or to intercept it? I am unsure if it is possible or how to determine the origin of a keypress.
Here is the code for the KeyUp even as well as for the KeyPress Event:
Private Sub txtInput_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtInput.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Chr(13) Then
e.Handled = True
End If
[code]....
The auto-complete functionality was accomplished through the properties of the control, the only code for that was to generate the auto-complete list.
I have been using the combo Box keypress event to capture the enter key when it is being pressed by the user within the combobox. The combo box style I am using is Drop Down. When there are no items in the combo box list the keypress event will capture the enter key. When I add any items to the list portion of the combo box the keypress event not longer captures the enter key. How do I capture the enter key when the combo box has items in its list.
View 1 RepliesI have a button on my form where I'm showing a ContextMenu when the user left clicks on it, I'm actually using MouseUp right now to show it.What I would like to have happen is the user click on the button, the button stays pressed while the ContextMenu shows, it returns to normal when the ContextMenu closes (Either a menu item was selected, the user hits the escape key or they click/tab to somewhere else). Also I'd like to position the ContextMenu in the lower left corner if the menu opens down or the top left corner if it opens up. So the left edge of the ContextMenu is flush with the left edge of the button.Moreso the button staying pressed until the ContextMenu is closed.
Edit: I'm also ok with this being it's own control inheriting the FW's Button that used the assigned ContextMenu as well.
how do i insert text for the designated object when the help button (next to the 'close' button) is pressed?
View 1 RepliesI want to have a counter that measures when a mouse enters/leaves a form. To that extent I used the .mouseenter/.mouseleave commands. This works to an extent. The problem is that moving the mouse over any controls inside a form count as existing it- I don't want this. Is there a way to define the controls as a part of the form? Meaning- if the mouse was over one of my labels- it would count as being within the form. A less elegant way to measure form access could be to use the form positioning, and define capture any mouse movement within it.

View 1 Replieshow to make the button move when arrow button is pressed
View 1 RepliesI am running VS 2008 and building my app on a Windows 7 box. The main form/window has a KeyDown event handler as follows in it:
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
MsgBox("control = " + e.Control.ToString + ", shift = " + e.Shift.ToString + ", e.Keycode = " + e.KeyCode.ToString)
When I build it and run it within VS it seems to run fine. The messagebox appears with the state of the control and shift keys along with the key code of the key I pressed. However, if I take the executable and run it on an XP box (both using .Net Runtime 3.5) as soon as the main form opens, the messagebox appears. Basically the "KeyDown" event seems to be firing without any keys being pressed. The messagebox comes back with: "control = False, shift = False, e.Keycode = None".
How is this possible? How can the keyDown event be fired when no keys have been pressed (as is confirmed by the output contained in the messagebox?) how I can diagnose this on the XP box since it does not have Visual Studio on it?Update I tried creating a brand new project where there is only "form1" and the only code behind this is the keyDown event handler. It just opens a blank window and pops up the message box if a key is pressed. It worked as expected on the Win 7 box but when I moved the executable to the XP box, it immediately popped open the messagebox without pressing a key.
