Hello,
Recently I needed to assign keyboard control to my program; so and I searched the Internet, I found many examples but it seems all have one little problem(or it's my mistake?):
I use this test code:
Keyboard control works fine but not for all key: Enter, Up, Down, Right, Left -> these are not working.
. I don't understand why, because these controls are defined in c# like the others. If you have an idea, please post it. Thanks
Recently I needed to assign keyboard control to my program; so and I searched the Internet, I found many examples but it seems all have one little problem(or it's my mistake?):
I use this test code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace myheys
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.KeyUp += new KeyEventHandler(button1_KeyDown);
}
private void button1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
switch ((int)e.KeyValue)
{
case (int)Keys.Space: MessageBox.Show("SPACE"); break;
case (int)Keys.Escape: MessageBox.Show("ESC"); break;
case (int)Keys.Enter: MessageBox.Show("ENTER"); break;
case (int)Keys.Delete: MessageBox.Show("del"); break;
case (int)Keys.Up: MessageBox.Show("up"); break;
case (int)Keys.Down: MessageBox.Show("down"); break;
case (int)Keys.Left: MessageBox.Show("left"); break;
case (int)Keys.Right: MessageBox.Show("right"); break;
case (int)Keys.F10: MessageBox.Show("F10"); break;
case (int)Keys.F: MessageBox.Show("f"); break;
}
}
}
}
Keyboard control works fine but not for all key: Enter, Up, Down, Right, Left -> these are not working.

The button is eating your keys, if you remove the button the problem goes too If all you're using is the button to get the events setup, dont, use the forms direct.
Did I just hear "You gotta help us, Doc. We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas" ? Is this you? Dont let this be you! I will put in as much effort as you seem to.
