View 3 RepliesI 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.
How can I check if an arrow key (dunno, the right key for example) is pressed?
View 1 Repliesi made a tool which detects arrow keys .When i click up it shows the word up in text box when i click down arrow it shows down word vice versia.
My problem is i want to count the number of times i clickd an arrow and want to save it in text doc with time and date
i have taken some Group Boxes and Panels within my form,

View 1 RepliesAm devloping an application with multiple forms, which reside on top of a main form. i.e the main application window. The 'child' forms do not need to be linked in any way as they do not pass information to the parent form, as all the parent form does is act as main window.Now I would like to know what is the correct way for the 'main window' form acting as a container for the other forms? So that all the smaller secondary forms stay focused on top of the main application form, that when the main window is minimized, so these forms should do also etc..
I have read other posts and they mention, leaving all the forms standard i.e. IsMdiContainer = False and then using form.showDialog() to call the secondary forms. This did not work for me as what happens is that as soon as I give focus to the main app form, the secondary form disappears underneath.I tired making the main app form IsMdiContainer = True and when it loads calling:
frmMemberForm.MdiParent = Me
Now this works, because I can click off the form and minimize the app etc and the frmMemberForm doesn't disappear. However if i close the MemberForm and reopen it, it looses this property and once again when it looses focus, it will disappear.
I've got a basic VB.net 2.0 application together in VisualStudio 2005. Within a form, I've tied [enter] in several text boxes to a button. What I'd like to do is "press" the button from getField_KeyDown() to give the user a visual indication of what's happening.With the code below, the button click work is done but the button's look doesn't change and the user is left without feedback.
Private Sub getField_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txtGetKey.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
e.Handled = True
Call btnGet.PerformClick()
End If
End Sub
How can I make the button looked pressed while the btnGet.PerformClick() work is being done?
How can I set a button, so that when it is pressed, it stays in the pressed down graphic state. Then when pressed again it returns to the normal not-pressed visual.Make a button stay like this until pressed again: url....
View 3 RepliesI have a TextBox and set the MiltiLine property to true and AcceptsTab property to false.When the TextBox has focus and i press Tab it works fine and the next control get the focus, but when i press Ctrl+Tab it works as if AcceptsTab property is set to true and makes a tab character into the TextBox.The reason i press Ctrl+Tab.. when switching between forms in my MDI application.Now how to make a Ctrl+Tab when pressed works like Tab when pressed in a MultiLine TextBox?
View 1 RepliesSo 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'm a huge music person (got my own lil record thing going) but I'm wanting to design a program that would make music in my way. I have a decent amount of background knowlege of Visual Basic and Java I'm just wondering how could I execute this whole project. The Project is making a MPC Sampler. MPC is a drum machine; a machine with buttons that once you press it that it will play a sound from a drum (ex: snare, kick, tom, ect.) . So I would want to make some pads on my program that each have their own sound. Total of 16 pads. Which the design wouldn't be hard to make nor would the functionality of it having the play back sound (in my opinoin it wouldn't be hard atleast). But the thing is I wanna map out these pads to number keys on the number pad or keyboard. I'm not so sure how to do that. But that's all the easy stuff...
Also finding information is making a sound directory. What I mean by this is that I want to make a User Interface that will open up a file directory of sounds and the user can select what "kick" or "snare" sound he may want for the kick or snare pad. I don't know how to do that or even know what to search; neverless I don't know if this whole project idea is a good idea for Visual Basic or another programing language.
Also LATER ON I am wanting to add a record and export function that alows users to..well...record and export their beat or instrumental ha. That doesn't seem too too complex (mainly due to the fact that all it needs to do is record the users key strokes and then show them and play the sounds, but obviously it would get more complex than that.)
Here is an image of one of many MPCs but one with a directory - [URL]
There is any container for vb.net like the map in c++?

View 2 RepliesI 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 7 RepliesThis is more of a ASP.NET question, but we are using VB.NET so it might be relevant. We just recently upgraded an ASP.NET 1.1 project to 4.0.Once we started running through the app to regression test it, we found that (consistently) if we made a call like DataBinder.Eval(Container, "PropertyName") from a User Control, ASP.NET complained that it could not find the PropertyName on the page.
PropertyName *does* exist on the User Control, but not on the page.This worked up until we upgraded to 4.0.The fix we found was instead of using "Container", we used "Me" to reference the control that the code was being called on.
start a desktop app. make the form 1- MDI Container = True. 2- Right to Left = True , 3- change the Right to left Layout = True.Set the background to any jpg image, when you run the form, the backgroud disappears.
View 3 RepliesVB 6.0 had a Set Pixel function, which is not available in VB.net. using a draw ellipse function with parameters specifying a circle one pixel in diameter.The above is painfully slow.I have been drawing graphics in a Bit Map using a Set Pixel function & then copying the entire graphic from Bit Map to a Picture Box. This results in nothing seeming to happen for several seconds & then the entire graphic is displayed in the Picture Box.
The above does the job, but it would be nice to display the graphic as it is being generated pixel by pixel, which was possible using VB 6.0, Might there be a Windows 7 API which would set a pixel? Might Microsoft be considering a Set Pixel function for Picture Box graphics?

View 3 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 3 RepliesSo in winforms, every dropdown combobox has this little arrow thingy to the right that tells the user it's a dropdown, kinda like this:Now how do I figure out how wide that is in pixels? Reason is, I'm using ControlDrawToBitmap, this doesn't draw the text properly for the combo boxes, and I can redraw the contents, I just whack some of the arrows (which are drawn properly).
View 2 RepliesThe feature I'm trying to implement allows the user to press the down-arrow key and "tab" through different features on the form. Is there a way to use the keyPressEventArgs or something similar to catch that? Is it necessary to delve into hooks and processes? And if so, does anyone know a good resource for a beginner?
