Dear group,
I am trying to move a panel (panel2) around which is inside another
panel (panel1). I want the user to be able to use the arrow keys on the
keyboard.
However when I press either arrow key, focus is set to my toolbar
(toolbar1) and you see focus going from pushbutton to pushbutton.
I've tried keydown events on mybase, panel1, panel2 and finally only
this is working:
Private Sub ToolBar1_KeyDow n(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.KeyEventA rgs) Handles ToolBar1.KeyDow n
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Right Then
panel2.location = [etc]
End If
End Sub
However this is not a nice workaround. If the user presses right or
left several times in a row or holds down the key, you see the panel
moving alright but also the toolbar gets repainted over and over again
to a point it can't repaint quickly enough and disappears a moment.
So both the panel is moving and the focus is moving over the
pushbuttons on the toolbar.
Can someone tell me how to tell the toolbar _not_ to catch keydown
events and let the panel1, panel2 or mybase or even the form handle
this (where it should be in this situation).
Help is appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Martin.

Use the following code in your form to handle the keypress event.
Protected Overrides Function ProcessDialogKe y(ByVal keyData As
System.Windows. Forms.Keys) As Boolean
If keyData = Keys.Right Then
'Move the Panel
Return True
End If
Return MyBase.ProcessD ialogKey(keyDat a)
End Function
Hope this helps.

I am developing an IE Toolbar that has a combo box. The combox box doesn't
fire the KeyDown event when the {Backspace} key is pressed. Very strange. The
event fires for {Delete}, {Space}, {CTRL}, etc. Does it have something to do
with {Backspace} being the hot key for going to the previous page?
Code:
this.cboSearch.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(this.cboSearch_KeyDown);

I have a FixedToolWindow form that I create and display when the user

the FixedToolWindow form is by clicking on the toolbar button again.
It's a bit like pressing "Search" on IE's toolbar.
BTW why is the ToolBar that comes with VS.NET so ugly? It's like the old

Hi All,
I'm having a little problem with the KeyDown event handler. I have added a
keydown event handler to my Form, but the ToolBar control is overriding it.
So say I press the arrow keys, rather then doing what I want it to do, it
simply circulates through the buttons on the ToolBar. How can I by pass this?
Thanks,
Eddie
