I have an application similar to calculator, with button from 0 to 9, Enter and Clear. I made it possible to use the buttons by clicking on them and also by using numpad, like shown below: Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode
[Code]...

Basically, for my first VB project, I am creating a virtual keyboard where a sound is played from the resources on KeyDown. So far, the program seems to work except for the fact that each key needs to be clicked by the mouse before the sound is played by pressing each key (hence put the object in focus), where I need the key to play the sound without clicking the keyboard key (put the object in focus on KeyDown). Below is an example of my code:
Private Sub C_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As PreviewKeyDownEventArgs) Handles C.PreviewKeyDown ' C is the label attached to the first 'Rectangle' (Key)
If (e.KeyCode = Keys.A) Then 'The A key should activate the C key on the keyboard
[code]....
I have KeyPreview set to 'True' under the form's properties.

I have a textbox on a form that when it loses focus it updates other text boxes on the form. But before it updates the other textboxes I check the input value in the textbox lostfocus event if it is undesired I return focus to the the textbox and alert the the user with a msgbox. However where my problem is, is that when the cancel button is clicked I don't care what the input in the textbox is because the changes are being canceled but if the value is undesired the it keeps returning focus to the textbox instead of canceling the changes. Is there a way to see what control was clicked on before or in the lost focus event? Can't seem to figure it out tried enter and leave events but no luck!
So for example something like this...
Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.LostFocus
If Control that was clicked <> btnCancel then

Is there a more efficient/easier way changing the backcolor of a control when it has focus and lost focus? Let's say I've got 10 text boxes. Right now I would have 20 different events...10 for Enter event and 10 for Leave event. Of course, entering would change the back color to "green" and leaving would change it back to "white".

My application has a form which contains several Textboxes where user is required to fill up data. Once data is filled up user can click on "Save" button to save the data. I have added lost focus events to all textboxes so as to validate user input. When I click on cancel button, i want to detect cancel button click, but textbox lost focus is fired first so I get error message for textbox before my code moves to cancel button click handler. Is there any way to detect button click before lost focus event?

I have checked my code countless times, tried other computers, and yet the keydown event will not work.
My code:Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeyRight Then
imgPerson.Left = imgPerson.Left + 500
End If
End Sub
That's all there is because I was just testing it out. imgPerson does exist, so that's not a problem.

I am running VS 2008 and building my app on a Windows 7 box. The main form/window has a KeyDown event handler as follows in it:
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
MsgBox("control = " + e.Control.ToString + ", shift = " + e.Shift.ToString + ", e.Keycode = " + e.KeyCode.ToString)
When I build it and run it within VS it seems to run fine. The messagebox appears with the state of the control and shift keys along with the key code of the key I pressed. However, if I take the executable and run it on an XP box (both using .Net Runtime 3.5) as soon as the main form opens, the messagebox appears. Basically the "KeyDown" event seems to be firing without any keys being pressed. The messagebox comes back with: "control = False, shift = False, e.Keycode = None".
How is this possible? How can the keyDown event be fired when no keys have been pressed (as is confirmed by the output contained in the messagebox?) how I can diagnose this on the XP box since it does not have Visual Studio on it?Update I tried creating a brand new project where there is only "form1" and the only code behind this is the keyDown event handler. It just opens a blank window and pops up the message box if a key is pressed. It worked as expected on the Win 7 box but when I moved the executable to the XP box, it immediately popped open the messagebox without pressing a key.

I need to make a simple yet cool program for my professor. The program is this: To get the program to work, the user first presses a button on the form. Then, when the user presses an up arrow on the keyboard, the cursor will change to a custom cursor (a cursor with an image of car {in .ico format} for example), when the user releases the up arrow key, the cursor turns back to default cursor -- which is arrow. When the user presses an up arrow and left arrow at the same time on the keyboard, then a different custom cursor will be shown instead of the default.

How can I get VB.net to work out that i have pressed +-*/ in Keydown events?
At the moment i am using a Select Case:
Select Case e.Key
'Numpad Numbers Keydown Events'
Case Key.NumPad0
Display.Append("0")
txtAnswer.Text = Display.ToString
Case Key.NumPad1
Display.Append("1")
txtAnswer.Text = Display.ToString
However, I can't find a key. thing to work with the numpad function buttons.
I tried using:
Case AscW(Chr(107))
Display.Append("+")
txtAnswer.Text = Display.ToString
But it didn't work,

I already have KeyPreview set to true in the form properties I'm working on a small program, and I'm having a problem where it seems that some of the controls on it inside groupboxes are not triggering the KeyDown event on my form when I press and release any arrow key, just the KeyUp event. Specifically, I've enabled KeyPreview on the form, and set breakpoints on e.SuppressKeyPress = True in both subroutines, and only the one for frmMain_KeyUp hits the breakpoint.
I added in the two GroupBox events hoping that might mitigate the issue, but no such luck. However, I have a custom control on the form that is specifically coded to ignore these keypresses, and the code works as expected on it.
Private Sub frmMain_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown, GroupBox1.KeyDown, GroupBox2.KeyDown
e.SuppressKeyPress = True
Select Case e.KeyCode
[code]....
The code in the user control that "ignores" keypresses is as such:
Private Sub TileDropDown_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
If e.KeyValue = 40 OrElse e.KeyValue = 38 OrElse e.KeyValue = 39 OrElse e.KeyValue = 37 Then
e.SuppressKeyPress = True
End If
End Sub

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'm using a webBrowser control as a simple HTML editor & I'm trying to stop the default action of creating a new <p> (paragraph) element every time you hit the enter key while typing text into the control.
I have added a handler for the keyDown event & I can insert a break tag, but nothing I do seems to be able to stop the webBrowser from continuing to process the event.
As you can see in the code I tried setting the e.BubbleEvent to false to stop the event.
The added event handler works just fine & executes before the webBrowser processes the event, but setting the e.BubbleEvent=False (or true) has no effect.[code]...
