keydown

When handling Control.OnKeyPress event, there is a KeyPressEventArgs that contains a KeyChar . For usability reasons I need exactly the same KeyChar but when handling OnKeyDown event. The KeyEventArgs does not contains any char related data. I mean, if press the A key with or without Shift its not affecting the KeyCode , KeyData or KeyValue . The same when using another language, i still getting capital english values. How to get a KeyPressEventArgs.KeyChar inside KeyDown event? Thanks. Convert it. Here is simple function for converting 'A' to 'a'. It converts only capital chars from [A-Z] set

I've been wondering if I can detect CTRL and SHIFT key being pressed WITHOUT using keydown event. The reason is that I am creating some sort of Grid Viewer in JavaScript, and I implemented selecting different items by holding CTRL or SHIFT key as it functions in most common viewers, editors and so on. The problem is that when the focus is not anywhere on the page. For example I'm adding page to the bookmarks. Then I hold CTRL or SHIFT and click on the item, but it acts normally as keydown hasn't been triggered. Any way of omitting this? Perhaps not, but it can be confusing for customers who

I have in my Excel VBA project, a combobox which uses a range of cells as it's list of items. I have used a filter in it, so that whenever a value is entered, the list shrinks down to the items containing the string, and dropdown list is shown. However, the problem appears, when the dropdown is shown, the navigation keys can't be used to scroll within the items. As soon as the down key is pressed the dropdown list will be filtered again. I guess its happening because the down key while focusing on the items, is also selecting it. Hence, the combobox_change event is called automatically. Is

Using Javascript / jQuery, how can I get automatically repeating keydown events, or equivalent, when someone holds down a key? What I actually want is to be able to check whether a key is down, but from other questions here it looks like that's not possible. The suggested workaround seems to be recording keydown and keyup events and then assuming the key is down if a keydown event has been recorded and no subsequent keyup. That solution runs into a problem in my case. I am designing an online experiment. The user is supposed to hold down the "T" key for the entire experiment, never letting it

So my site has an input box, which has a onkeydown event that merely alerts the value of the input box. Unfortunately the value of the input does not include the changes due to the key being pressed. For example for this input box: <input onkeydown="alert(this.value)" type="text" value="cow" /> The default value is "cow". When you press the key "s" in the input, you get an alert("cow") instead of an alert("cows"). How can I make it alert("cows") without using onkeyup ? I don't want to use onkeyup because it feels less responsive. One partial solution is to detect the key pressed and then
