I need to override the Enter key for the entire form. In my Windows form,
when a user presses Enter, I want it to behave just like a Tab, except when
the focus is on a button. Here are the 2 methods I've tried:
public EstDefaults()
{
InitializeCompo nent();
KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHa ndler(EstDefaul ts_KeyPress);
}
private void EstDefaults_Key Press(object sender, KeyPressEventAr gs e)
{
if (!exit.Focused || !cancel.Focused || !Delete.Focused )
{
e.KeyChar = (char)9;
}
}
AND
public EstDefaults()
{
InitializeCompo nent();
KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler (EstDefaults_Ke yDown);
}
private void EstDefaults_Key Down(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (!exit.Focused || !cancel.Focused || !Delete.Focused )
{
e.KeyCode = Keys.Tab;
}
}
The KeyPress does nothing, and the KeyDown won't compile because e.KeyCode
is read-only. KeyPreview is set to True at the form level.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks! 2 1697
Use keypress. If the key is "enter", set e.handled to "true". That
will make the control ignore the "enter" event. Then you can use the
GetNextControl( ).Focus or SelectNextContr ol methods (not sure which) to
handle activating the next control.

Thanks, I'll try it.
If it ignores the Enter key, will it still go through the validation process?

In Python, you can override the behaviour of most operators for a
class, by defining __add__, __gt__, and the other special object
methods.
I noticed that, although there are special methods for most operators,
they are conspicuously absent for the logical "or" and "and". I'm
guessing that the reason for this is that these operators
short-circuit if their first operand answers the whole question?
Would it be possible to allow...

Hi,
I have 3 questions regarding the code below:
1) Why can't I trap the KEYDOWN while I can trap KEYUP?
2) Is it correct that I use Return True within the IF-Statement? (I've
already read the documentation but it is rather hard to understand so please
don't refer to it :)
3) Many examples in the newsgroups use Return MyBase.ProcessKeyPreview(m) as
the last code line while I have used Return MyBase.ProcessKeyEventArgs(m)

Hi! I am new to C#. I read two C# books in the last two days which only
covered the basics. And now I am on my third day. The books were really bad,
because they did not cover windows applications, only ten to twenty pages how
to create forms.
So now you know why I want to have hotkeys in a CONSOLE Application. Is this
possible? I would be glad if you could give me some links in the msdn or just
the names of the functions needed.

The Object class has five non final methods namely equals, hashCode, toString, clone, and finalize.
These were designed to be overridden according to specific general contracts. Other classes that make use of these methods assume that the methods obey these contracts so it is necessary to ensure that if your classes override these methods, they do so correctly.
In this article I'll take a look at the equals and hashCode methods.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
