Keyboard Accelerators and the Alt Key

Posted By: Posted Date: September 26, 2010 Points: 0 Category :WPF

Typically, when the above accelerator is assigned, pressing the "Alt" key first displays the accelerator. Then pressing "D" does the action, pressing the button, in this case.

I want to programmatically fire the "Alt" key event, so that the user does not have to first press Alt. I recognize that there is a display properties option for this, but each user will have their unique setting and I do not want to alter their display properties.

KeyEventArgs e1 = new KeyEventArgs(Keyboard.PrimaryDevice, Keyboard.PrimaryDevice.ActiveSource, 0, Key.LeftAlt);

Mobility: Add Keyboard Support to Compact Framework Apps by Trapping Windows Messages

The Compact Framework Control class doesn't provide direct access to Windows messages. However, with P/Invoke, a few lines of native code, and the Compact Framework MessageWindow class, it's still possible to access underlying Windows messages. This can be used to work around any .NET Framework features, including keyboard support, that are not included in the Compact Framework.

How to? Virtual Keyboard

Hi,I'm trying to create a website (asp.net in c#) to be used on a touchscreen monitor and need to do data input for the webpage by a virtual keyboard (on screen). I found one that allows me to do so (click here) but it has some restrictions.#1. I'm only able to assign one keyboard to one textbox - which means if i have ten textboxes I'll need to create ten keyboards for each textbox#2. I am unable to use it for dynamically created controls (e.g. gridview) as I have no idea what the created grid view control id's are. Is there a way for me to do data input using one keyboard for all my controls (could be another method different from the one I mentioned)? If not, can anyone tell me how I'll me able to get control id on control focus please?I appreciate your help.Thanks!
