Trapping tab key

Is there a way to trap the vbTab key when used in a text box ?

boo
i tried to approach this many different ways (from within VB.Net, that is,
not Win32API...)

the best solution i've come up with is to trap for tab in the KeyUp event of
the surrounding controls - i.e. the previous control should trap SHIFT+TAB
in KeyUp, and the next control should trap TAB in its KeyUp.

kludgy as it is, this should allow you to achieve the 'trap tab key in a
text box' functionality, if in a roundabout way.

HTH! =)

ps - should work with any control, not just textbox

I'm trying to find an equivalent of key-event trapping which is easy in QBasic. Several of my programs build up a geometric figure with two parameter line families, eg with two nested for..next loops; after that, the process is redone, or moves on to a new position of the same figure. With a slow system each build-up may take some time. But after, say the inner for...next loop it's easy to scan for a key-event with an a$=inkey$ command...

I'm trying to improve my code so that when I open a recordset object, I can absolutely guarantee it is closed and is set = Nothing. I have read some old threads and they all say to use the functional equivalent of the following code: Public Sub CloseRecordset() On Error GoTo Sub_Error Dim rs As Recordset rs.FindFirst "This Will Error"

I have an Access 2000 database with a form that is giving me some major headaches. When you open the form, it displays all records and allows editing, but has AllowAdditions set to False so that the user has to use my New Record button. When you click the New Record button, the form presents a new record for editing. My client wants to use the Escape key to cancel changes to new or existing records. On existing records, Access already...

Hi there, I am having difficulty with a piece of code which would work wonders for my application if only the error trapping worked properly. Basically, it works as follows: - adds records from rsSource into rsDest - if it finds a key violation then it deletes the current record from rsDest and adds the new record from rsSource. This works perfectly - but only for the first found duplicate record, it brings up the error

Hi Gurus Does anyone know how I set the error trapping to option 2 in visual basic. I know that you can go to tools, options and then choose on unhandled errors only, but is there a VB command that I can use instead? Cheers Nicolaas

I use code extensively; I probably overuse it. But I've been using error trapping very sparingly, and now I've been trapped by that. A form that works for me on the system I'm using, apparently runs into problems on the system where it will actually be used, and since I used so little error-trapping it dies very ungracefully. I will of course try to fix whatever is causing the error and add error-trapping to the functions where the...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with trapping the <BODY> onUnload() event in ASP.NET? The thing is, I'm writing code for an Intranet site. The code makes a call to a third-party component (think of it as a lock) when the page loads. Now the OK and Cancel server buttons I can handle and use to release the lock as required. But previously in classic ASP I had been trapping the user hitting the close 'x' button by...

I'm still using Office 2000 myself, but some of my clients have Office 2003.

This all takes place within one form, in which the Word.Application and Word.Document objects are both private form-level variables. Just to be on the safe side I included this piece of code in...

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
