VB and the development of wizards / Detect button pressed
« on: April 09, 2008, 09:55:54 AM »
Hi to all of you,
Is it possible with VB to detect whether or not a button is pressed?
I am writing a routine for manual parting on my lathe
What I want it to do is the following:
When I press the arrow up key the parting move starts (at feedrate in the -X direction)
This should go on as long as I keep the arrow up key pressed
When I release the arrow up key, the parting move should stop, and backoff a little bit (to clear the workpiece)
How can I detect if the arrow up key is depressed in VB?
(I cannot find anything on this topic on the forum)
Any help is appreciated
