[Closed] dotNet: textBox on return pressed event?

I Pen,
That exactly what I’m looking for too. I think it have something to do with the controls.invoke methods but I don’t really know how it work…

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zyzhdc6b.aspx

fn Textbox_KeyPress s e=
	(
	if e.KeyChar == "\r" then
		(
		s.control.invoke (ref to the handler here)
		)
	 )

Regard,

Here’s an example, hope it helps

Thanks Martijn, I finaly found something on it in another post as well. That is a good example that you have there.

That a very good example, it may come handy when I’ll be working on my dotneteditor :applause:

but here’s what I really want :

try (Form1.close()) catch ()
(
Global Form1 = (Dotnetobject "System.Windows.Forms.Form")
Global PboxMap = (Dotnetobject "System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox")
Global PButton = (Dotnetobject "System.Windows.Forms.Button")
--//--
--//-- let say I want to manualy fire this handler when I click the PButton
--//-- and also, I don't want to call the function itself.
--//--
fn PboxMap_Click s e = 
	(
	s.backcolor = (s.backcolor.fromargb 255 (random 100 255) (random 100 255) (random 100 255))
	)
--//-- 
fn PButton_Click s e =
	(
	--((PboxMap.getType()).GetEvent "Click")
	--PboxMap_Click PboxMap ""
	)
--//--
fn Form1_Closed s e =
	(
	Form1 = undefined
	PboxMap = undefined
	PButton = undefined
	gc light:true
	)
--//-- Initialisation
PboxMap.backcolor = PboxMap.backcolor.navy
PboxMap.dock = PboxMap.dock.fill
--//--
PButton.backcolor = PButton.backcolor.fromargb 100 100 100 100
PButton.forecolor = PButton.forecolor.white
PButton.dock = PButton.dock.fill
PButton.text = "Fire PboxMap Click Handler"
PButton.font = (dotNetobject "System.Drawing.Font" PButton.font.name 14)
--//--
Form1.Text = "Test Form"
Form1.ShowIcon = true
Form1.ShowInTaskbar = false
Form1.TopMost = true
Form1.StartPosition = Form1.StartPosition.CenterScreen
Form1.ClientSize = dotNetObject "System.Drawing.Size" 200 100
--//--
Form1.Controls.Add PboxMap
PboxMap.Controls.Add PButton
--//--
dotnet.addeventhandler Form1 "closed" Form1_Closed
dotnet.addeventhandler PButton "Click" PButton_Click
dotnet.addeventhandler PboxMap "Click" PboxMap_Click
--//--
Form1.Show()
)

Thank for your help,
Martin

Still no go. I’m writting a scripted modifier and the enter key isn’t firing the keyDown event at all. The first print statement isn’t being fired so enter/return isn’t being seen. Also I can’t get tab to work although I don’t need it. Any ideas any one?

		fn initTextBox tb=
		(
			tb.multiLine=true
			tb.AcceptsReturn=true
			tb.text=characterName
		)
		
		on characterNameDn keyDown arg do
		(	
			print #keyDown
			print arg.KeyCode
			if arg.KeyCode==arg.KeyCode.enter then
			(
				print #yup
				addPrefixToCharacter senderArg.text replacePrefix:true
			)
		)

Hi Paul,
I used the keypress and test for “\r” because of this, maybe your could give it a try …

fn Textbox_KeyPress s e=
	(
	if e.KeyChar == "\r" then
		(
		---
		)
	 )

maybe this could help too…

fn textbox_MouseClick e s = (enableAccelerators = false)

Since they are both the same type of event (Click) and thus share the same event argument, you could simpy use PboxMap_Click s e to pass it on.

Another way could be to have each event call a function instead:

fn changeColor NetObj =
(
    NetObj.backcolor = (NetObj.BackColor.FromArgb 255 (random 100 255) (random 100 255) (random 100 255))
)

fn PboxMap_Click s e = changeColor s
fn PButton_Click s e = changeColor s

That’s what I mean by …I don’t want to call the function itself…:wise:
Well, maybe it’s not possible in maxscript but from what I understand of the
controls.invoke method you can do something like this:

 Theevent = (gather the event from the object ???) as a "system.delegate" witch is a ref to the event.
 [b]PboxMap.invoke [/b]Theevent 
 

not that I need this, just wanted to know
