Capture Keypress in elementhost1 - GraPhiX - 03-02-2021
Hi
i have converted most of the Duck Lake sample, but i am having a problem getting the keypress event it never catches the keypress any idea how i can get it to work, this is VB.NET with elementhost btw.
Code:
Private Sub ElementHost1_KeyDown(sender As Object, e As Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles ElementHost1.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Key.F1 'Move
CHK_MoveModel.Checked = True
e.Handled = True
Case Key.F2 'Rotate
CHK_RotateModel.Checked = True
e.Handled = True
Case Key.F3 'Scale
CHK_ScaleModel.Checked = True
e.Handled = True
End Select
End SubRE: Capture Keypress in elementhost1 - abenedik - 03-03-2021
To get keystorkes in WinForms application I would advice you to use the method in WinForms. I am not an expert for WinForms, but you may try to subscribe to KeyDown event in the Form object.

yes i have used the form keydown event, it originally did not work until i changed keypreview to true in the form properties, sometimes you have to step back and look at it again, was a simple fix in the end :)
