KeyPreview and ComboBox

M
Hi there,

If the Keypreview set to true. How should the form's KeyPress event
procedure intercepting keystrokes entered in a ComboBox control.
I find in my computer if I set ComboBox's DropdownStyle to Dropdown
The form's KeyPress event will not intercepting keystrokes. Only comboBox's
KeyPress event procedure be called
But some other computers the Form's form's KeyPress event procedure will be
called before comboBox's KeyPress Event.

Any Idea

Thanks

If Form's KeyPreview = true, the Form will receive key events before the event is passed to the control that has focus. But Combobox control is an exception. How to resolve it? Thanks, Jason

Hi, I am running is some problems with the KeyPreview and KeyPress events. The KeyPress event is only triggered when there this an focusable control on the form. When all controls are disabled the Form.KeyPress event does not trigger anymore. A way to 'solve' this is to set the focus to the form, but during testing it happens ofter the keypress event is not getting triggered on keys like

Hi: On my form, I have textbox and combo box. Form's KeyPreview = True. It does work for the textbox, but not for the combo. I.e. Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyPress me.Text = e.KeyChar End Sub

I have asked a similar question to this before, but have not found a satisfactory answer yet, so I thought I would ask it in another way. KeyPreview, for a form, handily allows keys to be intercepted at form level, and pre-processed and/or filtered. In the absence of a MousePreview setting, is there a way to do the same thing for mouse movements and clicks? TIA Charles

hi, i need to preview the keys in my app in order to process F1-F10. i set keypreview of my form to true, and it does capture the keystroke which i can process. if the user types into the text box of a ComboBox, the keystrokes aren't captured in the form's keypress event. likewise if the user types inside of a cell in a datagrid control the keystrokes again aren't captured in the form.

I have always found the form-level KeyPreview feature near useless, as there was a bug that allowed ComboBoxes to ignore it. In VS 2005 I've confirmed that it now woks in Combos. Is there anything else to be concerned about, or can we now use this to our heart's content when we want to pre-process input? Bob

Hi, I know Form has a KeyPreview property, is there a similar property that can be used to control mouse event that is only processed at the from level, not the controls on it? I am asking this is because there is no ReadOnly property for RadioButton. And is ther better to even have KeyPreview, MousePreview properties for Control that can be used if the mouse keyboard event can be passed to child

Overview: 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,...
