Window-Eyes 8.0: New Features Webinar Recording Now Available for Download!Hi
Bruce:
I am not familiar with an Event Button but you can bring up the Properties
Window while in the Forms Designer and if you tab around it there is a tool bar
you can arrow through to select a Properties or Events view.
After you select the Events View you can tab and move up and down the list of
events for that form or object.
The way I work with events in the Code Editor is to bring up the code for a
form, then hit ctrl-F2 to open a window with 2 dropdown lists.
In the Left dropdown list you can arrow up and down and as you do the dropdown
box on the right is populated with the events for each object in the left
dropdown list.
For example, you might open the code editor for MyForm.vb
then hit ctrl+F2 and then open the DropDown box, arrow down to MyForm Events
and then tab and open the Events Dropdown list.
Arrow down to load or FormClosing, hit enter and the code stub for the Load
or FormClosing subroutine is added into the Code Editor.
All the UI elements and I think even non-UI Elements are listed in the first
DropDown list of objects on the form so this is one option.
The other one is to open the form in the forms designer then navigate to a
control and, or, just hit f4 to open the Properties Window.
Then tab to the ToolBar and left and right arrow through it. You might hear
categorized or alphabetical properties and Events.
The 2 main items are properties and events. if you click properties you see
the Properties for whatever object you are reviewing and you can click
categorized or alphabetical to sort the Properties in that order. If you click
Events then you see a list of events for the control being reviewd and you can
click an event to have the event stub added to the Code Editor for that Form.
I am not familiar with an event button while in the code editor but I have
just never heard of it and it may well be there just not reading.
This is the case in VB.net 2008, I couldnt get vb.net 2010 working due to
some technical problems but it seems to continue to hold up in VWD 2010 which I
have used some.
Also, if you go into the Properties Window via the Forms Designer you can tab
around it to find the DropDown list of Components and I think you can see all
the objects on the form, and select them, from within this DropDown list inside
the Properties Window if you have trouble navigating the Forms Designer with
WindowEyes.
Visual Studio and the Express modules could really use some scripting to get
as accessible as other options might be from postings on other lists but the
.net platforms are complicated to script and it might require working with the
UIA API to do it - not sure.

Subject: Visual Basic 2010 Event List and Window
Hi!
I had asked on the other post, has anyone written any set files for the
Visual Basic 2010 GUI/IDE?
Since you can not reach the event list button on the top right of the
screen and I have no one sighted here yet to set the window parms, has anyone
done a setup of the 2010 code editor window?
For apparently that event list button is on the top right of the
properties screen or button, so I have been told, but the window has no size
when using the mouse, it just has the bottom and top and nothing in between.
So if anyone has done anything on it let me know,
sincerely
Bruce
