I want to detect up,down arrow keys while in edit mode of datagrid view i use the code below but it is not working?
Public Overridable Function EditingControlWantsInputKey(ByVal keyData As System.Windows.Forms.Keys, ByVal dataGridViewWantsInputKey As Boolean) As Boolean
Select Case keyData And Keys.KeyCode
[code]....
Both case arrow keys are not detected. please tell how to detect
I have a problem detecting whether one of the arrow keys is pressed, all the other keys seem to be detected apart from the arrow keys??? I have set key preview to True........ It detects the arrrow keys BUT ONLY if I have NO other controls on the form??? example..
Me.Text = e.keycode
It works, but then if I add a button for example, it stops.
So I found this little morpg. The game is fun but really repetitive. I would like to simplify some of the tasks in the game. I do not know how to start this project. How can I recored arrow keys and then tell the computer to enter the arrow keys? One of the objectives in the game is to run around a farm 2x and scare away any wolfs. So the commands would be "arrow key up" for 30sec and then "arrow key right" for 4 sec and repeat. I have worked with robots in real life for some time. We would fill arrays with such instructions. One of the most fun things to program! But I have no idea how to do this in VB.
View 12 RepliesI've been searching all over and unable to find a way to do this. I'm not sure if it is possible but thought I would ask. I have a program that runs in the background and hooks the keyboard keys to perform actions when a hotkey is pressed. However I don't want it to do anything if the forground window (of another application) is in edit mode so if you map the v key, the user will still be able to enter it in a text box. Is there a way to detect if the forground window or control is currently in edit mode?
View 2 RepliesI have an application that loads a web page then allows the user to edit that page by setting the Webbrowser control to EditMode.What I am trying, so far unsuccessfully, to do is trap when a user right clicks on a link already on the web page. The problem I have is that although I can trap the right click using MouseDown and GetElementFromPoint, if the link that is clicked is nested within a higher level element then the higher level element is returned by GetElementFromPoint not the nested element.[code]When the user right clicks, say, the link with test2.html my current code returns the DIV element not the A element. How can I understand which of the A elements the user clicked.[code]
View 3 RepliesThis should be something simple, but I just cant make it work. I have a DataGridView with a "Technician" column that I would like to have a dropdown box, allowing the user to select and assign that row to X technician. It works, however with the default edit mode, you have to click the box THREE times to get the dropdown. If the edit mode is changed to "Edit On Enter", it works FIRST click, but this ruins the way I want some of my other columns to work.
Questions:
1. Can I enable/disable editing of ONLY certain columns?
2. Can I set the edit mode for ONE column?
3. My "Unassigned" section (the last line) no longer works after adding my "With" section to add my combobox. I thought the "DataPropertyName" would allow this to work. Whats the deal?
4. Can I edit the visual style of the combo box? It does not match AT ALL

When the cell is selected but not open for editing a right click will open the ContextMenu. If the cell is open in edit mode a differnt list is displayed (cut, copy, paste, etc.). Is there a way to append the ContextMenu to this menu or turn that menu off and use the ContextMenu?
View 4 RepliesI have a DataGridView in which one column has data that the user needs to align by adding spaces. For example, the first two rows might contain:
kumbu
kuimbiu
And the user needs to be able to line up the letters that match by adding spaces. Something like this:
ku mb u
kuimbiu
Now in order to do that with the DataGridView, the user must enter edit mode in the top cell, add spaces, hit enter, re-enter edit mode in the bottom cell, and then add spaces. Our users would like to be able to, while in edit mode in the top cell, hit the down arrow and advance to the second cell while staying in edit mode, saving clicks or F2 hits.
Is there a good way to do this? I have tried trapping the down arrow key press, leaving edit mode, advancing a cell, and then entering edit mode with the grid's BeginEdit method, but this does not do what I want.
I'm having trouble with setting a datagridview's cell in edit mode, or rather, to let the user type some input on load of a form (as in Excel or the like).
This is my code (after the dgv has been filled):
dgvTentander.EditMode = DataGridViewEditMode.EditProgrammatically
'(or dgvTentander.EditMode = DataGridViewEditMode.EditOnEnter)
dgvMyDGV.CurrentCell = dgvMYDGV.Rows(lastrow).Cells(TeCOL_Quant)
dgvMYDGV.BeginEdit(True)
The code correctly indicates that the cell is selected, and when the page is loaded I can still se the cell selected, but the cursor doesn't appear and nothing happens when I type.
I want to change the "a" and "d" to key controls left and right perspectively. and I am having some trouble wiht the key up event. KeyChar works for KeyDown (after I forced it to) but not for KeyUp (even though they share the same things). I finally figured out how to get the picturebox to change its picture, but now I am stuck at this part. getting an animation in, and when im done moving, get the animation back to the idle picture. im also having a little bit of trouble with movement. pictre - as a split second of movement and (space) as a split second of not moving, when i begin moving, lets say it goes this way (there is a space right after the first -, so that was a split second that it stopped and then started continuously started moving again). how can i make it so it goes nice and fluid once you start moving? also, if i were to press any single key while holding A or D down, it either stops and i have to press the key again to move it move or, it goes in the other direction(if I hit a then d, or d then a). and in the key up event, id like it so when the a (or d) key is up, it goes back to the stand animation, and when moving, it goes to the moving animation.

View 5 RepliesI have an image viewer application which consists of a Panel with a picture box on it. I want to use the arrow keys to iterate through the images in a folder. I have programed other keyboard shortcuts and all of them work except for the arrow keys, my program does not even acknowledge the KeyDown or KeyPress Event with the arrow keys. [code] As I said, all key events will fire the KeyDown with exception of the arrow keys.I have tried the Keypress event also and had the same problem

View 1 RepliesI had previously made a simple Pong program which use keyboard to control. The control includes "s" to start the game, "p" to pause, "r" to resume and left, right to move the paddle specifically. This program work with little problem. The first problem I encounter is if I insert even one single button on the form to display instruction, the arrow keys will no longer work. But I get around it by using Menu Strip instead.
Then, I am required to put this program, among others into a MDI program. And this is where the problem happen. If I have this Pong game loaded, and I press "s", "p", or "r" keys, it have no problem, but if I press the "left" or "right" keys, it will not move. I am speculating that maybe the focus is lost when arrow keys is pressed or something similar, but I have absolutely no idea what is happening. I have tried giving focus back to the form if focus is lost, but to no avails. And this is the code for the movement of the paddle. This reside on a form, the movement itself is passed to another class. The MDI parent is on another form. [Code]
I wrote a program for a stopclock with button control. The button control is to start and stop the clock. How can I use the arrow keys, instead of the mouse click on the button, to start stop the stopclock.

View 10 RepliesI want to update some things on the form when the user clicks a new date (or changes the month, which automatically selects a new date). If I use the DateSelected event, it seems to work as expected when I use the mouse. However if the arrow keys are used, the event does not get triggered. If I use the DateChanged event, it seems to go into an infinite loop. The message box pops up a zillion times when I click the arrow to change the month:
Private Sub MonthCalendar1_DateChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DateRangeEventArgs) Handles MonthCalendar1.DateChanged
MessageBox.Show("DateChanged")[code]....
The only problem with using the DateSelected event is that if the user uses the arrow keys, the event is not fired. I thought I could fix this by disallowing the use of the arrow keys, but I couldn't find anywhere to do that.
I have been trying to figure this out all night, so I figures it's time to ask you guys.
I can't figure out how to make a picture box move when a key is pressed. It works fine if I use a button.[code]...

View 3 RepliesI have been searching all over the internet for the answer to my problem; How do I move an object according to the arrow keys pressed? I have this code;[code...]
It builds all right, but nothing happens. I have the KeyPreview on, but it still doesn't do anything.
I have a group of textboxes for a tab editor. 6 vertcle, 25 horizonal. ( numeric guitar sheet music) I want to be able to navigate them with the arrow keys. If I number them in chronological order from the bottm left, the up arrow key would be "+1", down arrow key "-1", the left key "-6", & the right arrow key "+6". That way I can navigate any possible way on the array. My question is, "How do I do this in code?". ( I have never had a school coarse of any kind in programming-learning VB Express at home.)

I need to capture the left and right arrow keys in Form1.KeyDown event so I can use them as hot keys. Instead they seem to be assigned to tab order (move focus to previous/next control) and the KeyDown event never gets called. How can I remove the arrow keys from tab order and use them for my hot keys instead?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to control him using the arrow keys.
I've already tryed using the case key event handler, but I must be using it the wrong way, because VB 2008 express (what I'm using) produces a bunch of errors("Type expected" as well as it won't work). This is what I've tryed:
Private Sub GameField_KeyDown(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal E As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
Select Case E.KeyCode
[Code]....
How can I stop that?
View 1 RepliesBasically I need to handle a keypress or keydown/keyup event on a form, specifically for the Up, Down, Left, Right arrows. Using the below, nothing moves. However, if I change (Keys.Left) to (Keys.A) then a capital A will move the object.
vbnet
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Left) Then
'Note that 'man' is a PictureBox.
man.Location = New Point(man.Location.X - 5, man.Location.Y)
End If
End Sub
If a tab is highlighted and you hit the left/right arrow key, it goes to the previous/next tab. I want to remove this functionality. I only want the user to be able to change tabs with the mouse click.
View 5 RepliesI have a weird problem. Ive created a UserControl that can be used to pan and zoom an image but when ever I add the control to a form my arrow keys will not trigger the KeyDown event anymore. If I remove it no problem.
If I try and listen to the KeyDown event on the control itself nothing fires either!
Ive set the KeyPreview property on the for to True.
I'd be happy to supply the code if anyone think they could solve it..
