Hi,
I am in the process of developing a popup utility for a project i am working on, the basic idea is that when a user presses the control key a popup menu will be displayed listing the shortcut options, for example Ctrl+Q which will be used to close a window.
The popup is a simple form which is configured by means of of a dictionary of values (key and description).
I have a message filter running to intercept the key down presses for the control keys as a single instance of the popup will be associated to all forms in the application and it will handle the common events and displaying of the form but will raise events down to the implementing class or form to create the popup menu and process the resulting action.
What i would like to know is this, how can i determine in the message filter which controls key has been pressed, i have the following code which determines a keydown and a control key but i need to determine which control key is pressed because the right control key will activate the popup instantly and the left will activate it after a delay if the key is held down.
Public Class MessageFilter
Implements IMessageFilter
Public Function PreFilterMessag e(ByRef m As System.Windows. Forms.Message) As Boolean Implements System.Windows. Forms.IMessageF ilter.PreFilter Message
Select Case m.Msg
Case CGlobals.Window sMessages.KeyDo wn
Select Case m.WParam.ToInt3 2
Case Keys.ControlKey
MsgBox("Control Key")
End Select
End Select
Return False
End Function
End Class
This is in a MessageFilter class and is added to application.add messagefilter, i have this working fine and get the message box whenever the control keys are pressed but i cant figure out how to get whether the left or right control key has been pressed.
I would greatly appreciate any help that you can give
Thanks in advance

Check for a WM_KEYDOWN message for the control key
(which you already do) and examine bit 24 of the lParam parameter
It is 1 for the right ctrl key and 0 for the left ctrl key
Save the state until you get the corresponding WM_KEYUP
BTW, please don't post in HTML

Hi there,
I want to implement the COM interface IMessageFilter from my VB.NET

doesn't have a type library inside of it, so I'm unsure if this is
even possible. I'm pretty green to VB.NET, and .NET in general, so
would anyone be able to give me a little push? Specifically, I think
what I want to do is to somehow "import" ole32.dll into my VB app, but

I recently had a post about how to block Mousewheel events. The answer was
to implement an IMessageFilter. Sadly, I must report that after 24 hours of
researching my library and online resources I am still stumped! I did find a
promising code snippet on MSDN, but have yet to successfully implement it.
Here is the code snippet:

Hi,
I'm developping a form that renders differently when hovered and trigger
some processing when not hovered (leaved). The thing is, when I leave my
form and another form from my application is underneath, it works fine, but
if I leave my form and anything that is not from my application is
underneath, the Leave event does not fire until I hover something from my
application.
Here's my filtered code for the IMessageFilter (I did not...

IMessageFilter interface allows one to capture messages before they are
sent to a control or a form. Is there a way, perhaps by implementing
another interface, to capture all messages to an exe.
In other words, if I add a custom message filter implementing the
IMessageFilter interface to my notifyicon class, I can capture messages
when I display forms. If I add custom event handlers to the various
events in the SystemEvents class I can...

I want to have a form that accepts keypresses. The controls other than the form should not receive any of the user input. I have implemented it using IMessageFilter but now just now I discovered about KeyPreview.
What is the difference between IMessageFilter and KeyPreview? Is there a significant benefit using one way than the other?

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.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
