I am building a hoem theatre app that is controlled by an IR Remote Control.
The Remote has some keys that map to "keyboard" commands (i.e. PageUp,
PageDown.).
In this VB.NET application I have a listbox control that I fill with songs
from the MediaPlayer Library (MediaCollectio n).
Now, my remote does not have "Tab" key or "up" and "down" arrow keys, but
it does have pageup, pagedown. I want the PageUp, PageDwn to "behave" like
the "up" and "down" arrow keys.
To do this, I tried the following:
Private Sub ListBox1_KeyDow n(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.KeyEventA rgs) Handles ListBox1.KeyDow n
TextBox1.Text = e.KeyCode
Dim i As Integer = ListBox1.Select edIndex
If e.KeyCode = Keys.PageDown Then
i = i + 1
If i > ListBox1.Items. Count - 1 Then
i = 0
End If
ListBox1.Select edIndex = i
End If
End Sub
And similar code in there for the Keys.PageUp
The Problem is:
Even though the event is being fired, and the SelectedIndex is being changed
based on the If Statement, the "PageUp" command still executes after this
event handler completes. For instance, if the ListBox1 has 15 items, and
the SelectedIndex = 0 at the beginning. When the PageDown Key is pressed,
the even handler changes the SelectedIndex to 1. But, then immediately
after that, the Selected Index becomes 14 (because the PageDown command
processes).
Is there a way to "swallow" the PageUp/PageDown inside the KeyDown Event
Handler that I have written.
I am trying to avoid having to do a "Low Level Keyboard" Lock with the API.
Thanks.

Use the Handled property of the keyEventArgs of the KeyPress Event. If you
say e.handled=true, then .NET assumes you did whatever behavior needed to
be done. So you do your work in KeyDown and use e.handled=true in KeyPress
to prevent the listbox from processing the key.
Best of luck!

Hello!!
I have a derived class called StringClassEditor which inherit from
UITypeEditor listed below.
Now to my question in method EditValue in this class I have this statement
lb.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(ListBox_KeyDown);
I have set a breakpoint in the event handler method ListBox_KeyDown but
this method is never called. So this event KeyDown for control ListBox is
never occuring.

Hey - I am making my first C# form application! (More a teach myself app
than any pratical application)
I have a listbox that always has the control so I made an event handler for
KeyDown.
I seem to be losing information when Casting to char, since I never have any
problem using special keys if I use something like e.KeyCode == Keys.Delete
But . . there is no Keys.Astericks (or Star or similar)
