I am trying to assign a keyboard shortcut to a macro but "Press shortcut keys" textbox does not accept input. The "Remove" and "Assign" buttons are disabled. I have a command highlighted and I've tried in all the available "Keyboard Mapping Schemes". I've noticed that on some of the samples on "Modifying Keyboard Shortcuts" there were buttons for creating new mapping schemes. I'm assuming those are a visual studio version prior to mine - maybe 2003. Mine only contains the reset button.
View 2 RepliesFor example if I have a button that says "Copy" and I want the "C" underlined so I can press the "c" key and have the buttonpressed event fire, I have to have "Hide Underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the ALT key" unchecked in the Display Properties>Appearance>Effects area. If it is checked, a user would have to press the ALT key to make the underline visible (for each form).
View 8 RepliesSo recently my Netbook keyboard stopped working, I got this new one. That would not be a problem if it was not for the missing [FN] key. My computer has several shortcuts, like FN + F6 = Turns screen off.
I cant seem to figure out how to bind these shortcuts to buttons in Visual Basic so I can just hit the button and turn the screen off that way, I've only used VB to make small simple fun stuff.
Does anyone know an easy way to set a keyboard shortcut for a tab in a tab control in Visual Studio 2010? Is there some property I can set?
I looked online, but all the articles I saw were very confusing.
I'm afraid I don't have any code to show, as I don't know where to begin with this. I'd like to have it so that if the user presses "Ctrl+O" it will run the OpenDialogue from the Menu. If someone really wants me to (don't see how it'd help, but whatever it takes ) I can post the fully functional open function.

Is there a way in VB.NET to replicate C# behavior on code snippets in case of capturing events?
I.E.in C#:Btn.Click+= and then double-tab. Creates an handler for btn.click event.
In the Keyboard Shortcuts properties menu some of the options are F13-F24, what these are, as these buttons do not appear to exist.
View 2 RepliesHow do I enable Ctrl+C, Ctrl + X and Ctrl+V for textboxes in my application? I can copy, cut and paste by right-clicking the textbox but keyboard shortcuts won't work... Also, in the menu under Edit I have Cut , Copy, and Paste but they don't work either. Under the code for these buttons I see the following:
Private Sub CutToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles CutToolStripMenuItem.Click
' Use My.Computer.Clipboard to insert the selected text or images into the clipboard
End Sub
I have the following code which I use in another Form and it works perfectly. I copied the same code to another form, changed the controls, keys combinations, etc., but the keyboard shortcuts do nothing at runtime. None of the key combinations work, it throws no Exceptions,I put a MessageBox in the F1 KeyDown conditional, but it doesn't show. That tells me that it's not Handling the KeyDown Event.[code]

View 3 RepliesTo start off with, I will say that I have tried ENDLESS attempts to surpress/capture/stop the actual sleep keystroke.
The code cannot require administrator privilege's. .

The code cannot create registry keys because that requires admin privilege's.

View 1 RepliesI am kind of amazed that there is no answer to this anywhere and I mean anywhere. I am looking for a way to disable the keyboard (actually all input) on a computer. There are several threads about it but no one has ever posted any serious, working code. I know someone is going to inevitably ask "why would you want to do that"? Actually why I want to do it is immaterial but if you must know... I am playing with a "USB Keylock". When this USB Keylock is not present in the computer I want to disable the keyboard. When it is present I want to enable the keyboard.

View 1 RepliesHow can I disable the windows button on the keyboard while my application is focused?
I'm having an endless problem with users accidentally pressing the windows key on the keyboard which causes the application to lose focus. They are capturing data, so when they finally realize that while they were typing nothing happened. They have to find the place where they lost focus and redo everything from there. This is very time consuming and as we are paying our data capturers by the hour this turns out to be an expensive flaw in the application.
I am confused what will happen, when I disable a timer. Will it finish the process and then disable or will it immediately disable without completing process? for example

I have created a virtual keyboard like the "Windows onscreen keyboard". So, I have used the method sendkeys.But if I click on the button, it doesn't write nothing.

I am using VS2008 and creating forms. By default, the underscore of the character in a textbox when using an ampersand is not shown when I run the application. ex. "&Goto Here" is not underlining the G until I press the ALT key.Is there a way to have this underline the text that I put an ampersand in front of when the form/application starts instead of having to have the user press the alt key?
