Key press event

[LTCCTL]

Hi All,

I am trying to use the key combination to perform a specific task, at present I have developed a windows mobile/smartphone application using the key 5, when I press key 5 it gives me some stored information into the textboxes.

I want to use the key combination # and 5 to get the information into the textboxes.

please, suggest me the way to do it.

Thanks in advance

I would put the event handler for 5 in the onPress event for # .... and remove it once they have stopped pressing # ... so the event for 5 is only going to be caught when the # key is down.... would that help?

Thanks for suggesting me the way to do it.

I have used the key down event and tried to use the if condition to catch both the key press events, but it is giving me error, may be I am doing it wrong.

could you please let me know, how exactly it works?

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

I have taken 2 boolean variables, in the key down events of # and 5, it will be set to true and if both of them are true then the information will be shown in the textboxes.

Now the problem is whenever I press # or 5, the information is shown in the textboxes.

I am using I-mate, in that to get access to # and 5 we have to press the shift key, when I press shift key then keydown event of shift is fired.

Should I take another variable to store the shift keydown event?

the code is given below:

public bool kp, kp1;

private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if ((e.KeyCode == System.Windows.Forms.Keys.D5))
{
kp = true; //5
}
else
{
kp = false;
}
if ((e.KeyCode == System.Windows.Forms.Keys.F9))
{
kp1 = true; //#
}
else
{
if (kp1!=true )
{
kp1 = false;
}
}
if (kp1 == true)
{
if (kp == true)
{
label1.Text = "# & 5 keys are pressed";
}
}
}

please let me know what mistake I am making

Are you developing this in Visual Studio? Have you tried using breakpoints during debug mode to find out some more about what events are being fired and when?
