Input Question
-
I have a... an unusual control (its a container for visuals), to which I just added a TextBox (user can click somewhere and add some text). This control also listen to Key down event and on 1,2,3,4 it does something. Now the problem is, it also happens when the user is typing in the TextBox, which is less than ideal, to say the least. I can see that the KeyEventArgs.OriginalSource is different from KeyEventArgs.Source (my container), could I use that reliably perhaps? Any other tips?

In your
TextBox.TextChangedevent handler, before exiting the handler method, sete.Handledtotrue, and see if that works.".45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly" - JSOP, 2010

KeyDownhappens before theTextInputevent... I tried to overrideOnKeyDownin theTextBox, and even though I calledbase.OnKeyDownfirst, settingHandled = trueprevented text input entirely... :O No matter, my test of only handling key input in global container if it was the original source worked! :) Thanks for interesting suggestion though!A new .NET Serializer All in one Menu-Ribbon Bar Taking over the world since 1371!

My next suggestion was to look at one of the preview events, and to make sure the source of the input was correct. :)
