Hotkey for custom field

you probably have to set the "keypreview"-property of the form to
"true"
As I didn't find the property in the property-listbox I added

salesorderform.keypreview = true

at the form.load-event.

hi,

Is there any way to assign a hotkey (i.e. F2) to a customized button
on a form? (for example by checking the keypressed-event of the form
?)

Thank you

Jan

Yes, here is an example. Use the event wizard for the button you
want and use Sendkeys.send
for example:


Private Sub btnEpiCustom1_Click(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal Args As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnEpiCustom1.Click
Sendkeys.Send("{F2}")


When the button is clicked it will send F2

Was Jan asking for this or the opposite? Did she want to assign F2 to her
EpiButton?

actually I wanted just the opposite :)
So, if a user presses F2 the custom button should be pressed.

Thanks

I was thinking backwards.
You can try something like:
Private Sub nedEpiCustom1_KeyUp(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal Args
As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles nedEpiCustom1.KeyUp

If Args.KeyCode = Keys.F2 Then

//**Whatever Code You Want to Run

But you have to hit f2 when in nedEpiCustom1

I am not sure how or if it can work by using the form or something
else. Say QuoteForm_KeyUp

Thanks!
It works fine as long the focus is on the button.
If I try it on the form itself i get the following error:

Method 'SalesOrderForm_KeyUp' cannot handle Event 'Keydown' because
they do not have the same signature.

Any idea how to get this working? (or what the error means?)

Thanks
Jan

P.S.:sorry, I'm still kinda new to .net

works now ;)

had to use

Private Sub SalesOrderForm_KeyUp(ByVal sender As object, ByVal args
As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles SalesOrderForm.KeyUp

to get the event.

Thanks to all

What is the code you are running from that to fire the button. I
could not get it to work on any of the forms. I tested using a
messagebox.
Here is what my code looked like
Private Sup SalesOrderForm_KeyUp(ByVal sender As object, ByVal args
As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles SalesOrderForm.KeyUp
If Args.KeyCode = Keys.F2 Then
MessageBox.Show ("You Hit F2")
