I\'m trying to capture the Tab key in a Windows Forms application and do a custom action when it is pressed.
I have a Form with several listViews and button
will this help you?
Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey(ByRef msg As Message, ByVal keyData As Keys) As Boolean
Dim keyPressed As Keys = CType(msg.WParam.ToInt32(), Keys)
Select Case keyPressed
Case Keys.Right msgbox("Right Arrow Key Caught")
Case Keys.Left msgbox("LeftArrow Key Caught")
Case Keys.Up msgbox("Up Arrow Key Caught")
Case Keys.Down msgbox("Down Arrow Key Caught")
Case Else Return MyBase.ProcessCmdKey(msg, keyData)
End Select
End Function
This is the C# code similar to the VB code given in the answer above...
protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
{
if (keyData == Keys.Tab)
{
//your code
}
return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
}
Hope this helps...
You can use "PreviewKeyDown" Event
Private Sub form1_KeyDown(.... ) Handles Me.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
SendKeys.Send("{tab}")
End If
End Sub
