Keypressed event of a form

[Himselff]

Hi guys,

Im new to dot net and wondering how i could remake the same way i was in
vb6, capture all keypress whitin a form,

per exemple i was on the form looking for some keypress

privete sub form_keypressed (keyascii as integer)
if keyascii = 13 then 'for the enter key
call button_click
end if
end sub

what i got so far in vb .net is :

Private Sub FrmMain_KeyPres s(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.KeyPressE ventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyPress

If e.KeyChar = "P" Or e.KeyChar = "p" Then

e.Handled = True

Call BtmProduit_Clic k(sender, e)

End If

end sub

which is not working and dosent fire any event at all, so after looking the
forum and internet, ive found nothing that was working,

Thanks a lot in advance !

Did you set the keypreview setting of the form to true?
Also I'd change your if to something like:

If UCase(e.KeyChar )="P" then

set the form keypreview property to true to capture all keypresses on form,
even if they're inside a textbox, use keydown to check. fe

if e.keycode = keys.enter then
'do stuff
end if

Himselff,

In VBNet you can make an array of the controls that you want to use and with
that tell exactly controls should have that event. Keypress is an event from
control so I think you cannot come in much problems with that. (I thought
that there are controls where that event is hidden so do not think that it
directly works everywhere).

All is typed in this messages not tested so watch errors or typos.

You can make that array like this
\\\
Dim mykeypressctrs as control() = new control() {textbox1, richtextbox1,
textbox2, etc}
///
And than something as this to add the handlers to that.
\\\
For Each ctr As Control In mykeypressctrs
AddHandler ctr.keypress, AddressOf FrmMain_KeyPres s
Next
///

I hope this helps?

If you select your form in the designer, one of the properties is
keypreview.

That part dont realy apply to me cause i want to emulate button click from a
keypress event so all event are handle from form event handler !

someday ,
