Capturing key events...

I'm trying to capture a textbox's key event when a user uses the tab key
without entering any data. I put a stop statememt in the KeyDown, KeyPress,
and KeyUp events and I've tried the form's keypreview property both ways.
What am I missing?

Thanks.

It sounds like you may want to use the 'Lost Focus' event.
The tab will jump to the next form object, relinquishing
focus to another. At this point you may want to validate your
text boxes contents for scrutiny. I hope this is useful for
your purpose

I am capturing the click event using Overrides OnClick. This captures the click event in the open or unused areas of the form, but it doesn't capture the click event in the textboxes etc. Do I have to program each text box to capture the click event or is there a way to capture all mouse events regardless of whether you click in the form or controls?

I have an IFrame in design mode. I've tried a bunch of things to capture key presses in that IFrame, but I can't seem to get it. I can capture key presses outside the IFrame fine. I have this problem in Firefox, not IE. I do know it's possible because Blogger.com's rich text editor does it, but their code is cryptic and separated into like 20 files, so I'm going through hell trying to decipher it.

Hello, I have been playing with various Googled solutions for capturing the <Enter> key to suppress form submission. My first question is whether anyone has a script that works in all common browsers? The script bellow is IE only. It fails FF 1.0 and NN 7. Also, if I can trap the keypress I would like to use it to tab to the next tabindex.

Hello folks. I want my app to process windows events first, so that it has some kind of a "global hook". The scenario is - i want my app to process all messages for "F3" key (or any other key for that matter) first before any other window does it. This has to happen whether my app is minimized, inactive,not in focus, in systray etc.. I tried playing around with WndProc and overriding it but it doesnt capture all key events (WM_KEYDOWN)...

Hello, I'm trying to build an "add-on" to an already existing custom web user control. The old control collects some user data and saves it to a database. The new control should collect some extra info from the user and add it to a new table in the database. The old control should not be re-written (at least not now..), so I need a way of capturing the click event of the Save button in the old control. This event should trigger a...

Hey guys, I have 2 events on a windows forms datagrid, the mouse move as well as the double click events. What's happening is that when I double click on a row in the grid, the mouse move event gets triggered and the double click is not identified at all. Is there any way I can invoke the double click when the mouse move also exists?

Hello, I'd like to capture key events using javascript, but don't want to process such events when the user is typing into an input box or into a textarea. As an example, gmail has a feature where you can type "r" anywhere on the page while viewing a message and it will open a reply box, but if you type an "r" while entering text into a form, it doesn't do this. My question is how to do this most efficiently.

I have a control that handles the KeyDown event but it does not seem to execute when a combination of keys is pressed - like CTRL+Z. If I press CTRL, it executes. If I press Z, it executes. But the handler does not see the combination. Now this control is contained within another control which is contained within another. The top most control does see the CTRL+Z. I can easily pass down the key info, but why does the nested control see...

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
