Title: Back Space In A Text Box
Post by: KingSparta on August 22, 2002, 01:02:51 pm

I was playing with a textbox today and noticed that backspace when the plugin is running in MJ does not work.

Any ideas how i can fix it?

Is MJ grabing my backspace?

It seems the delete key does not work in a plugin textbox also.

Dude,

Try AV's options dialog there are plenty of edit boxes in there.

But I cannot remember seeing anything like that.

Is it happening on all boxes?   What about Rich Edit boxes??

Do you have any _KeyPress handlers that could be gobbling up the keys?

Nope Just A Plain Text Box

If you hit backspace The program backs up to the MJ tree plug-ins

it seems like MJ is grabing the key press

>> What about Rich Edit boxes??
Have not tried that yet. Is that what your using for an edit box?

I use both types.

But I do recall that there is a property on your main control that specifies how to handle keyboard focus.

Unfortunately I don't have VB at work here so I can't tell you what it is but if you can't find it let me know and I'll check when I get home this evening.

I will look later (around noon), if i can't find it you might need to point it out to me since i don't have a clue right now on what i am looking for.

Media Jukebox may be grabbing it.  Both [Backspace] and [Delete] are MJ keyboard accelearators.

I don't have a good answer or solution right now.  More later...

I see no option to turn on or off in properties.

Getting same issue here.

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
MsgBox KeyAscii
End Sub


The ocx never gets the keypress event :(


However - if you use the new plugin I am about to upload, an ocx inside the ocx will get the keypress event.

The KeyPreview property has no effect :(

I'll install AV 1.03 and have a look.

Yup I can reproduce it here.   Works ok with modal dialogs though which is where AV1 does it's input.

Yeah, I can repro ... Modal's are fine too.

Ok I give up, so how do you create a Modal form

Post by: RhinoBanga on August 23, 2002, 10:14:46 am

It's one of the parameters when you .Show a form.

darn, i dont know how their installer works.. LOL!

Cephlen

i got it loaded up, no html displayed.

in the web address was "http://"

tryed to type something in ther and kept getting a message box with "119" each time i hit a key

used the home button and got it to go to http://www.musicex.com/mediajukebox/index.html

now when i load it up it is fine.

so it seems it is not getting the html on the start of the program maybe not being set in UserControl_Initialize

Cephlen,

I think the problem is that no registration information was entered into the registry.

VB ocx's can't self register so you have to either supply a .REG file to merge into the registry or an exe that installs and does it for you.

Or unless J River have changed their install script to automatically do this?

You may want to look at http://www.innosetup.com for a free, easy to use and nice looking installer.

Theres a .reg file included in the zip i uploaded.  Their installer has a script that copies the stuff to the directory and then registers the .reg file.

But I guess its not working...  Ill try and use that installer.

Title: RE:Back Space In A Text Box
Post by: RhinoBanga on August 23, 2002, 11:11:36 am

I didn't know that as AV uses an exe due to the controls it uses.

If you want AV's installation script for Inno then just shout.
