View 4 RepliesI have formA.vb and I added some shortcut keys using the key_up event handler. Before coding the handler I change the keypreview property of the form to true. I added this code :
Private Sub IntRMA_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyUp If e.KeyCode = Keys.ControlKey And e.KeyCode = Keys.C Then
modcustomer.Show()
ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.ControlKey And e.KeyCode = Keys.T Then
Me.Button6.PerformClick()

how to apply shortcut keys (like control+c and control+v) in visual basic There was a thread on this I found but I tried all the codes and variations but nothing worked, like nothing would happen when I pressed the keys could someone give me the code about how to activate a "control+t" and a "control+r" control?

I'm trying to create a shortcut which expands or collapses my treeview using the ctrl+alt+up-arrow or ctrl+alt+down-arrow:

End If

I have an application which I am trying to implement shortcut keys in. The application contains a main window from which dialog popups can be opened. I am having difficulty implementing the shortcut key functionality on the popup windows. I have the following code in one of the popup windows, and even though the first three key entries are the exact same as on the main window (except for the actual button names), which works, the same code does not work on the popup.
Private Sub frmInduction_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Control + Keys.S Or e.KeyCode = Keys.F5 Then
btnAccept.PerformClick()

I am opening the popup window with the following code- is there any way that the problem could be caused by how I am opening the popup?
Using frm As frmChangeValue = New frmChangeValue
frm.ShowDialog()
End Using
I try to use Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X in datagridview. However, when I use keyDown, KeyUP events, both only return the ControlKey. How can I get the returned information including both keys such as Keys.C And Keys.ControlKey?

I'm having a spot of trouble working out how menustrip yet again.I have an MDI project. A child form contains a menustrip that has shortcut keys defined... F1 through F4 at design time. At run-time the child form menustrips are merged into the MDI parent form menustrip.The Function keys do not cause the menu to drop down. *Frutz* I thought okay. I'll use the control's keypress event to trap the F1 key and cause the menu item to drop down Apparently the menu Item is not available in the child form since it was merged to the MDI parent menustrip...*Frippity Frutz* Okay... Call the MDI parent menustrip from the child form...."No menustrip object found".

What are some shortcut keys you know of that make programming faster, easier, or all around more enjoyable?
So I've been trying to make a form in which a few of the buttons have keyboard shortcuts such as the F keys as well as the arrow buttons. Here's the code I've been using

I have a VB 2008 form with about a dozen buttons that use ALT+key shortcuts, e.g. names beginning &S, &N, etc. I also have a menustrip with a couple of entries but I have not assigned shortcut keys to any of them. However, three of the entries on the menustrip begin with S, N, and E. The result is that the shortcut keys for those buttons don't work - instead the shortcut activates the menustrip item. For example, ALT+E brings up the Exit on the menustrip instead of activating the button with the &E... label. I even tried setting the shortcut for the menu item to something totally different, but it doesn't matter.Even though I have programmed something different, the menu strip takes precedence on the shortcut. is there any way to just disable shortcut keys on the menustrip? What I've done for now is alter the names of my menustrip items by numbering them, e.g. "5 Exit" instead of "Exit" so that ALT+5 does the exit and leaves ALT+E for the button I want it to be associated with.
View 3 RepliesI have set shortcutkeys for buttons using properties. Now what i want to do is to underline the character which i have set as shortcut key,on the button text,which is possibe in VB ,(by setting as &Save, now underline will be below the 'S' character),In VB.Net, At runtime it is not displaying the underline for that character.
View 3 RepliesI set a shortcut keys in my label...
example: Home
the underline is H but when i tried to test the programm it does not shown up an underlined?
I've encountered another minor problem with using vs 2010...how do you assign shortcut keys? I've read you just click in the shortcut keys option then press the buttons you want to be your shortcuts- this however just acts like I'm pressing the shortcut keys for vs. for instance alt x, which I want to be exit, takes me to debug. Typing alt + x in manually gives me an error saying what I've put in is invalid.

I have a Window with Keybindings in InputBindings defined. They work the first time and when i set the focus on any control on the form.But when a Messagbox is shown and I press "OK" they shortcut keys don't work until I set the focus on a control in my window.
My InputBindings:
<Window.InputBindings>
<KeyBinding Gesture="Ctrl+N" Command="{x:Static local:MainWindow.NewMenuCommand}" />
<KeyBinding Gesture="Ctrl+O" Command="{x:Static local:MainWindow.OpenMenuCommand}" />

I have this code for my shortcut keys
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
If e.Shift = True And e.KeyCode = Keys.F3 Then
'Do something
End If
But I also have a button to send my program to the System tray like so:
NotifyIcon1.Visible = True
Me.Visible = False
How can I get my shortcut key to work while my program is in the system tray?
It doesn't work while its a notify icon
the thing is i'm a .net programmer at varsity but i cant figure out how to program or insert shortcut/icon keys on the web browser application e.g back,refresh,stop,go. i'm only able to do this using command buttoms. so i want to use simple icons like those on some web browsers.

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to build an application that when I press a keyboard shortcut, say CTRL + ~, if the window is minimized to the system tray it is displayed.
I have seen a few programs do this and have always wondered how to do this, but haven't had the opportunity to do learn it until now and I really don't know if its something simple or complex.
I was wondering if there is any way to make a program recognize a keyboard shortcut while its not the active program

I'm working on a simple calculator program for work in VB.NET and I'd like it that an operation could be performed without a mouse click and instead by using the Enter key. So essentially I want the segment of the program that is usually run by button to have the ability to be run by the Enter key.I'm using VS2010.This is what I was trying to do but I suppose I'm not doing it correctly because the Enter key does not do anything when I press it.

I 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

In my main application Form I have a number of menu and toolbar button functions to which I have assigned shortcut keys such as F10, F11 and F12. The shortcuts work well except for instances where certain controls have focus, such as a 3rd-party grid control. In that case the F11 or other shortcuts are handled by that control and swallowed... they never make it to my event handler of the main UI.
I don't really want to, and can't with the 3rd party controls, modify each control (there are dozens) to pass on my F* keys. I thought of hooking the app's message pump but that seems like a severe solution. Is there a better, cleverer way to handle this situation?
(This is a .NET WinForms MDI (2.0) application which hosts many kinds of home-spun as well as 3rd party components.)
