My question is how can I create an event that would catch an enter key when I am editing it. Like I would type a note and hit enter key when I finish. Because columns of the datagrid does not have events like other controls or datagrid itself. What I need is something like this:
Private Sub ColumnNote_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles ColumnNote.KeyPress
End Sub

View 4 RepliesI couldn't manage what the matter is not even after searching. Here my question goes:I need to do a simple task (close my form on pressing escape key) and I use the following code:
Code:
Protected Overrides Sub OnKeyDown(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs)
Select Case (e.KeyData)
'Close on Escape
Well , it works when I click escape my form closes , but.. if I have pressed by accident or some else matter any of the arrow keys (up , down , left , right) before escape and then hit escape nothing happens. I checked if any other key does that and as I see it does not.
I just want to ask why my KeyPress event is apparently not working. What I want is that when I press the letter m, the selectedindex property of my listboxes would change. Here is the code;
Select Case Asc(e.KeyChar)

tray.ListBox1.SelectedIndex = tray.ListBox1.SelectedIndex + 1

I also want to know what the "e.handled = true" is statement for. I set the KeyPreview property of my form to false and true but it's not working as well. the KeyPress event should be triggered regardless of the control within the form that is in focus.
Is it possible to capture a keypress with my application, even if the application isn't focused?And if it is, could someone please point me in the right direction? (I.E things to look up, tutorials)

I'm trying to create an application that uses a PictureBox to display an image. I use the arrows keys to switch images and the space bar to rotate the current image. Since the KeyDown or KeyPress events don�t get fired when I click the arrow keys, I had to override ProcessCmdKey. It works fine, the problem is: the applications also has a few buttons and when I click an arrow key the image gets switched but the button�s focus change as well, worst yet, when I press the space bar, the image gets rotated but the button which has the focus gets pressed.

I am trying to add to items to a combobox by using the "enter" key. It does work when I add the first item, but if I manually clear the box and add another items it does not get added to the list.
(1) I click in the combobox and type "hello" and press the "enter" key
(2) I click on the dropdown arrow and see that "hello" is in the list
(3) I select "hello" in the box and erase it, item is still in the list
(4) I type "goodbye" in the box and press the "enter" key
(5) "hello" is still in the list but "goodbye" is not
Here is the code:
Private Sub CopyrightCombo_Keypress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles CopyrightCombo.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Return) Then

if I comment the if/end if line and type "hello" the items added to the combobox list are: "h", "he", "hel", "hell", "hello" wich makes sens since the add items is run on every keypress? I know that my commands for adding items is good, I know that my keypress event is handled properly but not when I specify using the "enter" key.

View 1 RepliesI am using the Event Handler below for the Enter Key Press Event, it is running when ever any of the keys is pressed. This is not so much a problem when the app. is running, unnecessary yes. It is giving me problems when ever I am Debugging using Breakpoints. How can I change the Handler so it only runs when the Enter Key is Pressed, doing away with the If statement?

As part of a program that I am composing, the user needs to enter a value by way of a NumericUpDown control on one particular form. Once this and other criteria have been evaluated, the program will then move to the next "step" of the program. If they use the spinner built into the NumericUpDown control, the event is fired on every change and that's all well and good, but if they double-click the value in the control then type the value in manually, it doesn't fire until the control no longer has focus. I can't depend that this might be the case however. Using the "KeyPress" event, I can in fact know when the control has focus and the user has typed but what I cannot seem to get it to do is to get the control to "read" these keystrokes as values until the control loses focus.

I'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.

i am trying my hand in visual basic 2010
it's a windows form program, what am i trying to do is, when i press ctrl+v (yes pasting) in other program, whether it be notepad or a text box, something also happens in my program.
So i need to capture the keypress event when my form does not have the focus.I would hate to create a windows service for this, but if there is no other way i might have to do it.
I have created the following piece of code to try and see if the user pushes the 'f1' key, and if they do.

I am not sure if this code works yet because the keypressed event is not triggered when I push a key. Could someone tell me how I can change my code so that it will test what key is pressed, no matter what control on the form has focus?
i know this has to be simple but i can find anything anywhere tonight on how to check if while a textbox has focus if the ctrl+v or ctrl+c was pressed i simply need to use it like such:[code]
