I put a form to Person Search.
Search for a name is entered into the TextBox,The results are displayed within the Data Grid
All information, data grid is 100 records
Now I want to go up and down keys to move between records
While my focus is Text Box
I have a textbox on a tabcontrol page, and when someone tabs out of the textbox, it is suppose to move to the next tab. This was working great before I switched the form from a UserControl to an actual Form. This change did not change actual code. So now, I have tried everything. I have the textbox to set to AcceptTab = True, and I have KeyPreview = False (because if the form grabs the event before the textbox does, it would mess things up I am assuming).Here is my code for the textbox:
Private Sub txtMsgDTG_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As KeyEventArgs) Handles txtMsgDTG.KeyDown
'check for tabbed out
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Tab Then[code]......
Is it possible to set focus on the keydown event so after the button control, sets the focus into the keydown? although says often control can have focus,.Putting a button and a keydown event on a form...

View 1 RepliesI have this code in the onKeyDown event of the datagridview.
Private Sub DataGridView1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode[code]....
This works. When the Enter button is pressed, it acts as the TAB button.The problem I am having is this only works if the datagridviewer is selected.As soon as I enter data into a cell (A cell is selected) the code wont work as it is not set for the cell keyDown event. The event does not exist, so I have to somehow create it.
this code works
Private Sub TxtLname_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TxtLname.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
If IsNumeric(TxtLname.Text) Then[code]....
when I replace the keys.enter with "keys.tab" it won't work..
Private Sub TxtLname_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TxtLname.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.tab Then
If IsNumeric(TxtLname.Text) Then[code].....
my child form is a game that allows user to move using keydown event (arrow key left and right). But when i import it to MDI, keydown event doesn't work anymore. Am i missing something here?
View 3 Replieshow to use the keydown event soif you press 'A' a messagebox will popup saying you pressed A else it will say This function is not reconised i am hoping to use this knowlage to start a game so that if you press W the image will go up.

View 1 RepliesThis simple code works at child form, but not at MDI form.
Is there anything should I add or change?[code]...
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.
if I press F1 on another program like, internet explorer, it will open music. When I press F1 on my Windows Form(My program), It work fine and it play my music but when i'm on internet explorer or anything else it doesn't work and I am wondering if I can.
View 7 RepliesI 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.
[Code]...
In my program I've used a text box and KeyPreview is True.When press the Enter-key i hope go to next row but called the default key?

View 1 RepliesHow 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 want to make it so that no matter which control has focus, it will do my event. So that I dont have to write a keydown event for all 137 of my objects. Is this possible?
View 2 RepliesI 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
short question: What's better?

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.
How to make an event for keydown, but for second press?
Yes, i know how to make event, eg.:
If e.KeyCode = Windows.Forms.Keys.Escape Then
Me.Close()
End If
But i want code for second press. For example...:
First use button space: open form1 Second use button space: open form2

View 6 RepliesI'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]...
