problem with converting simple code from Winform to silverlight app.
- by Sara
Hi. I have this code for window form application and I have been attempting to convert it to a Silverlight application but it does not work!. There is a Textbox and I attached KeyDown event handler to it. when the user press the arrow key ( left or right) while the focus on the textbox, it will write . or -. When it is window form i used e.KeyCode and Keys.Right and its works great but when it is silverlight I used e.Key and key.Right and the program doesn't work good because the arrows do the 2 functions moving and write ./-. How I can work this out in Silverlight?
(My English not good)
The code ( window form):
private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (sender is TextBox)
{
TextBox textBox = (TextBox)sender;
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Left || e.KeyCode == Keys.Right)
{
e.Handled = true;
char insert;
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Left)
{ insert = '.'; }
else
{ insert = '-'; }
int i = textBox.SelectionStart;
textBox.Text = textBox.Text.Insert(i, insert.ToString());
textBox.Select(i + 1, 0);
}
}
}
(and Silverlight):
private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (sender is TextBox)
{
TextBox textBox = (TextBox)sender;
if (e.Key == Key.Left || e.Key == Key.Right)
{
e.Handled = true;
char insert;
if (e.Key == Key.Left)
{ insert = '.'; }
else
{ insert = '-'; }
int i = textBox.SelectionStart;
textBox.Text = textBox.Text.Insert(i, insert.ToString());
textBox.Select(i + 1, 0);
}
}
}
I don't understand, is there huge different effect between using Keycode/Keys and Key/Key or because something else?
