Detect Keyboard Input
Hello Guys
I am new to programming and the demands of my code are fairly simple I think.
But since I have close to zero experience, I don't know where to start.
I have one form with say 10 buttons.
Whenever the form loads, I want it to wait for a key on the keyboard to be presses.
Lets say any number 0-9
Depending on which number I pressed,
It simulates a click on the corresponding button.
So in short
1.Form loads
2.Detect key input
3.Execute button click depending on key input.
e.g. --> press button 1 if "1" is pressed..and so on..
Can someone please help me ?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Detect Keyboard Input
How much Windows programming do you know? Can you display a form and is it just keyboard input which is new?
What tools are you using?

Re: Detect Keyboard Input
I have done very basic programming in the past using C, C++, And Visual Basic.
But all of that programming was also done with the help of forums.
I just know basics like if-elses, etc.. But I have always managed to achieve what I was hoping for.
Just imagine 1 form with 10 buttons named 1-10
And everytime you press a button, a message box pops "You presses button 1".
The only catch is, I intend to simulate these button clicks by detecting keyboard input
from 0-9 instead of using the mouse to click on them.
Any help, direction to posts where this kind of stuff is already done would be appreciated.
I know for sure that If its the right code, It will be the same code repeating 10 times.
Not very hard I guess. I just dont know how I would listen for key press , compare its ASCII value
and show a different message box everytime the key is different.
Thanks
