I am making a program for a friend with a disability.
I need to adjust his audio volume using the keyboard as he cannot use
a mouse.
Any suggestions as to how I can raise the volume using the up arrow on
the keyboard and decrease the volume using the down arrow?
I am using VB 5.
Many thanks in advance.

I am not sure if you need to do anything special. The volume control app
(Accesories => Volume Control) works exactly the way you want it. When the
focus is on the balance, left right arrows move the balance accordingly.
When the focus is on the volume slider, the up and down arrows works
intuitively as well.
I am not a proponent on taking over the system's setting unless you will
restore it on the way out.
If you insist on doing it programatically , you'll need to use the multimedia
mixer control api (winmm.dll).

I need to have my application keeping full control.
It is for a friend with serious disabilities and he cannot use a
mouse, only a keyboard with difficulty. I use the keyboard to speak
for him and need for him to be able to easily adjust the volume up and
down without opening other progs as he gets stuck and can't get back
to his program. Each hand movement is very "clumsy" and difficult.
Thanks

Understood. I used to write educational programs and am very aware of
special needs. You can e-mail me your e-mail address and I will send you the
code (it's too big to post here). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
I am stuck... I've got a popup window that displays a list in table
format with links on the bottom to navigate the list <prev> 1 2 3 ...
<next>
When I demo'd to the users... they immediately asked if they could use
the arrow keys and enter key to navigate the list. I think there must
be a way to do this, but I can't figure it out.

Has anyone else had this problem?
I'm in GridLayout, if I add a new Label control and try to move/position it
to the bottom page using the arrow keys it just stops at the bottom and
doesn't let me move it more? Same with other controls -- they just don't
move with arrow keys, but if I use the mouse they will position just fine.
Is this a known issue with VS.2003 IDE? (VB.NET)

Hey all:
I'm working on this 'pac man' like game I've been writing in Tkinter. The temporary gif I'm using (I can't attach it, sorry) goes around the maze based on a dictionary that has each path location as the key, and alternate, or connecting locations as the definition to the key. Now I need to 'interrupt' the path and give it a new path based on a keyboard event, like an arrow up, left, down or right. At the next key point if there is a...

Hi,
I have created a textbox like google suggest(or like yahoomail) that shows results using ajax as you type in. Now i am showing the results in a dynamic table under the textbox inside a div. But as the results how up i should be able to navigate them using up/down arrow keys. Using the mouse to click on a option is not very convenient since the results show up as you type. How can i achieve this?
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

Hi,
I want to force the user to only use the drop down and calendar to
select a date in the DatetimePicker control.
I do NOT want them to select the control, then use the up and down

How can I prevent them using the arrow keys?

Hi,
Is there a way to program the down arrow key on the keyboard to move to the next item in a combo box list?
The reason I want to do this is that my "Ordered By" combo box on my form is populated by a Customers table. Some of the companies in our customers list have multiple offices, each of which counts as a separate customer. For Example "RGS Tile, LLC" has offices in Arlington, Lake Ridge, Fredericksburg, etc. So in the combo box they...

hi,
i have a combobox linked with a table, and have made it dropdown on keydown event. as i write, the matching alternatives will show up in the combobox, but when i move down with the arrows and press enter, the selection does not end up being the item in "focus" - but some random (?) other item. if i press the item in the dropdown box with my mouse, however, it works fine.
any ideas? thank you very much!

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.

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,...
