hi all

how do use key press event?

for example i want pop up a message box when i key in 1 in my textbox.

 

i found some code at internet

Private Sub txtKeyPress_KeyPress( _

ByVal sender As System.Object, _

ByVal e As KeyPressEventArgs) _

Handles txtKeyPress.KeyPress

 

but how i get this code? i need 2 type manually ?

In the IDE, above your window with the code in it,

 

in the left ComboBox select the item (the textbox). Then in the left ComboBox select the event (KeyPress).

 

Then the required method signature will automatically be added to your code.

Heiko mentioned the IDE, this is the Visual Studio environment.

 

You can double-click a button or textbox, this will write the code of the default event.

If you want an event that is not the default then you need to scroll to the control (combobox in the top-left of your code page) once you select the control then in the right-hand combo select the event you want.
