compact framework form keydown event???

plowgrammer2010

Hi All,
I am trying to get Form keydown event in compact framework 3.5 but event is not triggering.
I have just one form form1.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
Public Class Form1

    Dim oBinarySave As New Binary_Serialization

    Dim FlagFormKeyDown As Boolean = False

    Dim uicounter1 As UInt16 = 0

    Dim uicounter2 As UInt16 = 0
 
    Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown

        If Not FlagFormKeyDown Then

            FlagFormKeyDown = True

            uicounter1 += 1

            Label1.Text = uicounter1

        End If
 
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Form1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Panel1.KeyUp

        uicounter2 += 1

        Label2.Text = uicounter2

        FlagFormKeyDown = False

    End Sub

End Class

whts problem...?

Are you sure it's not triggering?
Did you use the debugger to determine if the application steps into the method that handles the KeyDown Event?

It may be that you aren't refreshing the display and so the Label you're using to display the uicounter1 variable isn't updating.

If anything other then the form has the focus, it won't generate key up/down events.

Thanks,
for your guidance. the application is for wince. and i dont have win ce emulator installed on my system thats why i cannot go in debug mode.
Secondly form is selected and all keyboards events goes to form.
I have got solution. The solution is that there is a Key Preview property of forum that is set to false by default. if we turn it to true. then events will trigger and now triggering.

If your device has active sync, you can debug through that.
I always wondered about that property, sometimes it works for people, other times it doesn't.
