typing an sms

srinath

Hi,
I tried a lot for "typing an sms" as we do in mobile phone using delegate and events where button keypress will happen 3 or 4 times. for example, if we press button '9', we get 'w', and if we press the same button continuously for 2 times, we get 'x' and so on... . This is to be done in windows application. I want to raise an event every time I press a button. I am not able to get it.
Please help me......

Thank you for replying
But here I am using a delegate and event. I am not trying for particular display like textbox or label....... . The code should be useful for any display. When a button key is pressed, that particular event should raise. This is to be done in windows application. Here I am giving common keypress event for all the buttons.

You should try and use the KeyDown event. And check if e.KeyCode matches one of the buttons you want to use.

         void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.NumPad0) // Key 0 from numpad
            {
                // Do stuff
            }

            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.NumPad1) // Key 1 from numpad
            {
                //
            }

            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.NumPad2)
            {
                //
            }

            // ....
            // ....
        }
