How can I detect when one of the arrow keys is pressed?
Thanks,

Hi Nathan,
You can trap them in the keydown event:
Dim xstring As String
xstring = e.KeyCode()
MessageBox.Show (xstring)
The left arrow is 37, right 39, down 40, up 38.

'A textbox example.
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDow n(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.KeyEventA rgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDow n
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.Down ' << Note this useful enumeration
MsgBox("DOWN")
Case Keys.Up
MsgBox("UP")

This will not work, if there are, for example, buttons on the form --
even if 'KeyPreview' is set to 'True'.

ok - the problem - I made a simple breakout game out of a form, just
painting the background - and using keydown for left and right arrow keys to
control the bat - worked fine.
I then moved all the code into a user control, put it on the form. Now I
don't get keydown events when I press an arrow key - on either the form or
the usercontrol ?!!!?

Hi there,
I have an application in which a grid of 100 or more buttons are put on a
form in columns of 10.
All the buttons are within a panel.
They are added in runtime, and so they adopt a sensible tab value.
The tab key moves the focus down the column one by one, and the up and down
arrow keys work well.

Hi,
I have a user control that needs to trap the arrow keys to move items
around internally. However, using the arrow keys will move the focus to
another control on the form hosting the user control.
How do I stop this?
Vincent.

Hi thescripts people, I hope I'm in the right forum for Visual Basic Dotnet (VS 2005).
I am trying to make a custom control in which you can nudge a point around using the arrow keys. Actually, the control is meant to be a simple drawing program. To test it out I have put the control on a Windows form which also contains several buttons.
I have added a KeyDown event handler to the custom control (see code below). It responds fine to keys...

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.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
