Hello
In order to control keyboard keystrokes in my application, I use the
KeyPreview=Yes,
OnKeyDown Events of every Form with great success. HOWEVER, these
events are not available in REPORTS, opening up my application to ALL
Function/Ctrl/Alt keystrokes that a user can fire and cause problems.
In STARTUP I have Use Access Special Keys set to OFF.
I initially decided NOT to use the AutoKeys Macro, since it affects the
entire app globally, and does not seem to have the flexibility of the
KeyPreview method I'm using. One of my
forms uses a couple customized Ctrl,Alt, and Function keys. In REPORTS
I would like to have ALL FunctionKeys, ALL Ctrl Sequences, and ALL Alt
Sequences OFF, yet maintain my current control of the Forms. How do
I satisfy these requirements ?
I'm sure others must need to control KeyStrokes THROUGHOUT the
application!
Actually, I DoNot need any key strokes in REPORTS at all, just the
mouse click on my custom menu bar will do for Viewing, Printing, and
Exit.
ThankYou
Greg

By the way. In case it matters. I use a ReportMenu Form with buttons
for each Report, and use the following code under the button to call
each Report:

OK
To my relief, I discovered that I can use the Autokeys Macro to disable
keys throughout the application, and still be able to override this in
my Forms using the KeyPreview/OnKeyDown to return certain functionality
like F1 if I choose. One problem is that the AutoKeys Macro does not
let you control ALL keys! The Alt key cannot be controlled here.
However, you can control the alt key with the KeyPreview/OnKeyDown
method. The AutoKeys Macro allows me to supress keys throughout the
app, including my problem with Reports, which could not be controlled
when I used the KeyPreview/OnKeyDown Method (since these are not
available in a Reports Events).
So, a combination of the aforementioned methods gave me the Best
keyboard control I could find. One last problem is that the
AutokeysMacro DoesNot allow control over the Alt key, however the
KeyPreview/OnKeyDown method did in Forms, BUT not in Reports.
Oh well! This I can Live with for now, with one exception. Alt-F4 in
reports, will shut down the application.
I Hope others find value in these findings!

I have created a datatable inside of a datagrid to be populated by a user.
Then it will be uploaded into a sql database. I need to control the number of
characters typed into each cell. I tried:
Col2.MaxLength = 60
This allows the user to put in any number of characters and then after they
click off, it checks the characters and if characters are > 60 then displays
and error msg to the user.

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible (and if so, how) to intercept presses on
'multimedia keys' you find on keyboards? Curiosity more than anything. Only
manufacturers seem to put their own random gubbins onto their keyboards, so
presumably there isn't any kind of standard. Obviously their applications
are capable of listening to the buttons so it's possible at some level.
Possibilities in either .NET or Win32 welcome (hence the cross...

I have a multiset for keeping elements sorted in a container but key

Is there any guaranteed traversal order within the duplicate keys of a

When inserting duplicate keys to the multiset i need output order to be

I am creating crystal reports line graphs using vb.net. When the number of records is small it labels the x-axis. When the number of points is large it doesn't label them at all.
I need to be able to label the x-axis - at least with the start and end points. It would be nice to see some increment labeling also.
I've been playing with the graph properties - but I am not getting it.
