I am trying to catch key board events with the form keydown.
I am able to capture all the keydown events except the "Enter" key. When the enter key is pressed this code does not even fire.
Private Sub FrmMain_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode

when I added a textbox to my form, my keydown events no longer work. It seems impossible to get the blinking cursor out of the textbox so as to avoid targeting it. How do I retain keydown events when a textbox is added to the form?

I am creating an Excel add-in written in VB.NET. I would like to bind KeyDown and KeyUp events to the spreadsheet to record when the user presses and releases the arrow keys while navigating the spreadsheetIdeally, these events would be built into Excel alongside the native SheetActivate and SheetSelectionChange events, for example. Alas, they are not.

For some reason the application is not closing... IS there something wrong with this code that I am not seeing?
In the application I'm working on I use F1 and also a right mouse click to close the application since the graphics display full screen and there's no control in the upper right corner to close with. I use a good number of different keypresses to control things and everything works fine. When I switch away from the form that the applications starts in to a different form I'm not getting any response from either a KeyDown or a KeyPress event. Maybe someone knows what's going on. The ButtonClick and MouseDown events are responding just fine but for some reason the KeyDown and KeyPress events aren't. Below is code for one of the Forms that is unresponsive in this way.

I have a TextBox which Is allowed only to read certain characters. I use KeyPress event to handle this event. I understand that The KeyPress event does not handle the pressing of the DELETE key on the keyboard. I do not want the user to be able to delete characters in the txtbox by using the DELETE key, I want the user only to be able to use the backspace key. I am writing this code in Visual Basic 2005. The following code appears to work in handling the DELETE key, but I am concerned that I might get bitten by the fact that I am using KeyDown and KeyPress on the same control (txtSource).
private sub txtSource_KeyDown(byval sender as object, byval e as KeyEventArgs) handles txtSource.KeyDown
IF e.KeyData = System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Delete then
e.handled=true
end if
end sub
I try to catch the keydown event, but arrow keys don't fire this event, although I set KeyPreview = True. Arrow keys neither fire the KeyUp event. Not on the form or on any controls..
What is required to handle:
1. Arrow keydown or keyUp event with individual event handler based on mouse focus/hover (does the control have focus if mouse hovers on it, or it needs to be clicked?)
2. Mouse scroll events individually based on "mouse focus"
I don't actually need for the form... Since all the form is covered by controls.. But I need individually for different controls. Which are just buttons, labels and a chart control.
Looked up a number of pages on KeyDown, and KeyPress events, and am just more confused than when I started. I am trying to get an event to fire adding value to a total when a user presses the Enter key. Not getting any compiler errors, and have tried utilizina MSDN's suggestions for IsInput, and PreviewKeydown. None are working..... I have tried working in the KeyDown using e.keyCode = Keys.Enter, and KeyPress using e.keyChar.Equals(Keys.Enter) in my conditionals.

Overrides
Function IsInputKey(ByVal
keyData As System.Windows.Forms.Keys)

I am trying to use the keydown/keyup events with buttons in the same project and it not working properly. I have 4 red boxes and when I press an arrow key the box should change to green according to which arrow key it corrosponds to. I have this part working fine, however only when there is nothing else in the project. When I add in say 3 buttons, Button1, Button2, Button3 and try runing the program instead of the correct red box changing to green, button outline just moves between buttons 1,2 and 3. I have tried turning tabstop off for the three buttons but that didnt work. how to read the keydown/keyup while still having buttions that can be pressed with a mouse?

I have a console application (VB.NET). When it is started, it spawns worker threads to find work in the database and do the task, then look for the next task (A workflow basically).
The problem that I have is that I have my Event Handler in the main thread that spawns the worker threads. Those workers, if they error, raise an event to a public delegate. However my main thread is not detecting these events, and I cannot figure out how to make it. My intention is to do all logging (text/database), email alerts, and restarting the worker to find another task that is not errored. (This will be expanded in the LogErrorMessage routine and such, for now I am just keeping it a simple Console.Writeline so that I can see if the method is being fired or not)
Here is the code around what I am trying to do:
Logger Class:
Public Delegate Sub LogDelegateError(ByVal Ex As Exception)
Public Class EventLogger
Public Event EventError As LogDelegateError

I need to detect shift + arrow key in blank form. But it's not working. I also tried overriding IsInputKey method but it only detects single key press (like arrow key) but when multiple key are pressed it simply doesn't work.
View 5 RepliesPrivate Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
If e.Control Then
MessageBox.Show("aaaa")
End If
End Sub
As you can see, my form will check for when the control key is pressed down.But it doesn't work. Why?
I want to know how to do a keydown at form level. If I am not using Form Level the right way, this is what I mean. In my Form there is nothing.I want it so when the user presses a key that it will msgbox() something.As I said, there is nothing on the form what so ever No ComboBox, Button, nothing.

I am having trouble using keydown for the spacebar in a form.I would like the spacebar to start/stop a StopWatch that I have running. I can get that to work fine but whenever I am focused on another button it also executes that buttons function also.I know that is the default behavior for the enter key and spacebar but I would like to override that.
View 5 RepliesI want to able to hold a key down while the application is loading and depending on which is being held down a certain form is shown.
For example holding down shift and the opening itunes opens a little dialog allowing you set the library(or something)
I can check whether the shift/Ctrl/Alt are being held down but i'd prefer to use the letters/digits.
Such as hold 1 down to open Form1 and hold 2 down to open form 2.
In my program I've used a text box and KeyPreview is True.When press the Enter-key i hope go to next row but called the default key?

View 1 RepliesI'm using VB.NET (2008) and .NET framework 3.5. In my application I've got an on screen button that, when pressed, sends "00" as the characters [via SendKeys.Send("00")]. I also have a keyboard that has a '00' key that sends "00", two zeros, when pressed. I'm picking up the keypress using the form's KeyDown event - it fires twice, once for each "0" and works whether the on-screen or keyboard '00' is pressed. There's also a singe '0' on-screen button and key on the keyboard that sends "0".
I want to be able to treat the "00" as a single event. I.E. in the KeyDown handler, if the character is a single zero "0", I would like to check the next character to see if it is also a zero "0". If it is then I can handle it appropriately, but also need to remove it (from the keyboard buffer?) so that it doesn't fire the second KeyDown event. If it's not a zero then it should be left to fire the next event in the normal fashion.
When I put the command in the form_keyDown event that if I pressed the Ctrl+s, run the some instruction, when the focus in the one textbox control, run one beep sound Simultaneously with the instruction.
