I need to send the down arrow here'How do i do it
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 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.
I am trying to Send an Email with an attachment (using Gmail) but I keep getting errors like "Operation Timed out" or Failure Sending Email". It was working earlier today but I found out that i needed to add Using statement because the email was having a file open that had to be deleted after it was sent but afterwards it doesn't work.
Here's what I have (Portion of it):
Private Sub SendMailOneAttachment(ByVal un As String, ByVal pass As String, Optional ByVal smtp As String = "smtp.gmail.com")
Using oAttach As Net.Mail.Attachment = New Net.Mail.Attachment((Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData) & "\" & My.Computer.Name & "_" & fName & " .zip"))
Dim client As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient(smtp)

The ports are correct I believe, no firewall up on my PC...

I need to add the standard drop down arrow (not the button with the arrow, just the arrow) to a ToolBarButton (not a ToolStripButton). I was just going to draw it myself, but the ToolBarButton doesn't have a paint event.

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 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 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?

I am practically a beginner at Visual Basic, and programming in general. I have created a simple falling bricks game in Visual Studio 2010. Every 100 milliseconds, it scrolls down bricks and if the player's position hits a brick, the player loses. I am having trouble with input.
I do not know how to make the computer accept left/right arrow keys as input, without having to wait for an input every 100 milliseconds. Here is the code:
Imports System.Threading
Module Module1
Dim RandomN As New Random
[Code]....
If I put "Input()" somewhere in the Animate sub, the program will invariably go wrong. How can I make it work?
The form is a dialog, with KeyPreview = True and AcceptButton = (none)Handling Me.KeyDown, and Me.KeyPress do not trigger when I press either the Up, Down, or Enter buttons. Me.KeyUp will fire on up and down, but not enter.I put a breakpoint on the procedure declaration and the first line of the procedure (the Me.KeyPress and Me.KeyDown event handler procedures), and they never fire.

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]

View 10 RepliesWith a two column Datagridview, first column with a number in it, and second column with nonwrap text. When the datagridview width is less than the width of the data in the two columns, the only way I can get a horizontal scrollbar to show is with the width set for both columns. If I then try to scroll down the rows using the down arrow, the grid jumps to show only the second column. I have tried various settings for the columns - fill - fillweight - autosize etc.
I found one solution, setting the first column to frozen in the key down event and then setting it back in the key up event but the scrollbar does flicker and I am sure this is not the correct way to do this.
The user needs to scroll down the rows and be able see the first column whilst doing this and then if necessary scroll right to read any text not visible.
I 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.
