Have you just tried to reset the focus back to your control at that point?

I don;t think that this is something that could be done at the control level. Using tab to move from control to control is IMHO more of a form level process. I would hate to think that a control would be allowed to grab focus and not let it go like that.

If you want to achive it at the form level just set the tabstop property of all the other controls to false and focus will have no where to go.

If you are trying to do this in a custom control you are writing then I don't think that you can.

it must be possible, im sure the TextBox/RichTextBox classes that come with the frameowkr can do it.

Did you try KeyDown instead of KeyPress? Are you canceling the event in your handler with SystemEventArgs.Cancel?

In C# winform, I have a main form which has menu to open up other forms. Now I want to add a button to close all the open forms expect this parent main form. Is that a way that I can quickly do it?
Thanks!

void CloseChildWForms()
{
   foreach(Form f in this.Controls)
   {
      f.Close();
   }
}

thats should work, i think. Big Grin | :-D

It depends if they are child forms or owned forms (the latter are not confined to being inside the owner form).

I don't know if ther is an OwnedForms collection, is there?

is there a way to detect if a key pressed is alphanumeric, as if i just caputre the OnKeyDown event, it also captures things like the shiftKey, which i do not want.

The KeyPressed Event should do this, regarding other question about caps lock, i had a quick look and couldnt find anything.

Hope this helps Smile | :)

im working with the control class btw.

but i am using the OnKeyDown/Up to capture the events, i just wondered if i had to make a mtheod myself to work out if it is a letter, or if the framework already provided that ability.

Hi,

I need to integrate an interactive movie into a
Windows Application. I think that it is possible
to integrate Macromedia Flash 4 as an ActiveX
control into a host windows application.

Could you point me to an information source how
this can be done?

Thank you in advance.

I'll try to soon with C#.
Is there any information about to FLash API and the activex object itself?

Well yes, the .ocx file must have the type-library built-in, which is very likely to be so.

Adding the Shockwave Flash ActiveX control (flash.ocx) should provided everything u need. I havent use it but will a look later. Smile | :)

UPDATE: Had a quick look, but the file does not load, but the ocx is displayed , like as if in a webbrowser Smile | :)

, but says , movie not loaded...

UPDATE2: use the Movie property to set swf file, in URL syntax, eg file:///D:/floder/test.swf . Smile | :)

Works like a charm, note, movie play in designer too if play property is set true.
