Detect If User Presses F Key?
Feb 17, 2011I'm trying to work out how to detect if the user has pressed an f key I have this so far:
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
Label1.Text = e.KeyChar
End Sub
This detects when the user presses a character key and outputs it via Label1.text, but it doesnt work on all keys?

However, as soon as the user presses CTRL-ALT-DEL the Windows Security Screen comes up and it is too fast for VB to detect that the keys have been pressed.I did a little reaserch on how to work around this issue and found that a GINA stub can be written which can delay the Windows Security Screen by some time say 2 secs which would be enough for VB to detect that the keys have been pressed.Also disabling Ctrl-Alt-Del through VB does not work because it is too fast for VB and I would like not to disable CTRL-ALT-DEL

Resolution And Buttons - Tabs, Inside Each Tab There Are Buttons (the User Can Add The Buttons When They Want)
Mar 3, 2012I have a piece of software with two tabs, inside each tab there are buttons (the user can add the buttons when they want). when tab1 is full tab2 should start to fill. I currently know how many buttons fit on the screen so I just say something like if buttons > 150 then start to populate tab 2 The problem i have now though is if the resolution is changed then a different amount of buttons can be displayed. so if I put my screen to 1280x720 some buttons are left of. I was thinking of detecting the resolution and then using different cases for different resolutions but this seems very inefficient im wondering if there is a different way?

View 4 RepliesDetecting Key Presses In Thread?
Jun 13, 2009I just finished building my robot and now I am trying to come up with the code that goes on the computer to control the dang thing. Right now I have a thread that constantly loops in a do until loop that will never be true. Inside that loop the program should check to see if the w,s,a, or d keys are pressed if they are then it finds out what key has been pressed and sends the appropriate value to the robot. If no key is pressed then it should send the stop value to the micro controller which halts the robot until a new key is pressed.This is the basic way that I thought the code should be constructed although this code DOES not work.

Feb 20, 2012I have a system with 26 buttons but the buttons actaully run the same code; aside from the fact that the index number is used to distinguish between them (es, I know index values are out so I am using the object's name (btnKey1, btnKey2, etc).
Is there any event that occurs for all button presses or do I need to write the same line for all 26 events (actually 52 since I am using MouseDown and MouseUp - will get worse when I want to use the keypress side)?

View 2 RepliesJoystick Movement Display
Jun 18, 2012When I plug in the USB joystick, I'll have to go to the control panel and select game controllers. I click on the properties and a pop-up is displayed. On the top left hand corner of it, there's this small square 'picture' with a plus sign at the middle indicating the joysticks' movement. As I moved up, the sign moves up as well and as I move down it does too. It depicts the movements of the joystick in use.
I was wondering how to code the exact same thing as I'm planning to place the square thingy in a 'question' image which will change after every submitted answer of the image using the joystick.
