For the SendKeys, is it possible to 'send' a non-character key? I want to send a direction key (Left direction key) whilst a textbox is in focus so it moves the bar left along the characters, so that - for example:
Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
TextBox1.Focus()

I need to create an exe in VS2010 with VB that does the same thing as a simple command line. The reason is related to debugging. I can type ECHO ~ > \WIN7MMF25$ in a command window on a W2K8R2E server and it will send the ~ character to the shared "printer" on the Win7 PC. Actually, the device is a cash drawer connected to LPT1 that pops open when it sees a ~ character.
Anyway, I created a CMD file with that command, saved it, fired it, and the cash drawer on the Win7 PC opens. However, when I try to call that command file from our ERP application, it doesn't work (it does work if the remote PC is XP, though - just not if it is Win7 or Vista).
Anyway, I was hoping if I created a simple EXE and called THAT from the ERP software, perhaps whatever issue is bugging us will not bug us anymore.
We have a multi-line control that we are attempting to prevent the Enter/Return key from being used to create a new line.Strangely enough, "AcceptsReturn" as False does not prevent this.So we added the following:
Private Sub txtAddr_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtAddr.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(13) Then
e.Handled = True
End If
End Sub
This works fine, however one of the QA people discovered hitting Control + Enter still puts in a newline.How would we prevent this?And why does AcceptsReturn being False not work as it appears it should? What is the intended purpose of it?
I would like to show that the computer is busy and not frozen during a long file transmitted over Serial Port.I have the following loop.The intention was to show one "*" for every line sent.
While (fs.EndOfStream = False)
lineRead = (fs.ReadLine)
TextBox1.Text = "* "
SerialPort1.Write(lineRead)
End While
I can see the data sent on the Scope but the chain of "******...." show up after the transmission ends.The WHILE LOOP is actually working but the TextBox1.Text = "*" is not writing to screen.I would like to see the train of ******** same time as the transmission is active.The * is to show that the computer is busy and not frozen.Writing a copy of the actual serial data transmitted to screen is also another option that I can use.
I have quite a bit of VB6 experience but now am trying to create my first VB.Net project. The project is very simple - it just needs to send 8-10 character strings from the PC serial port. The problem I'm seeing is that VB.Net is always sending out a 0x0A character after each 'WriteLine' call. Using VB6 it was necessary to manually send out any End Of Line characters. My application requires that no extra EOL characters be sent after the string.

View 3 RepliesI am working on a sub that essentially needs to open a text file, and replace all instances of a certain character with a unicode character. I'm trying to do this by reading the original text file byte by byte, converting it to a character, and then either adding that character to a memory stream or writing the unicode character to the memory stream. Then I'm saving the memory stream to the original file.

For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.
I am writing a hangman type game and I am displaying the word to the user in a label as all *'s, but I cannot figure out how to have just one of the *'s changed in the label to the correct letter when the user inputs the correct letter into the text box and clicks the check letter button.Everything else in the program works perfectly, except for this part.[code]When I use the .Replace it changes all of the *'s to the correct selected letter.

View 7 RepliesIn my VB.NET application I compare words that are recorded using IPA, many of which have many diacritic marks. In one of the comparisons, I compare the words character by character. But when I iterate over the characters, the diacritic marks come out as separate characters (as I would expect since this is unicode)However, a u character is different than a u plus an accent for the purposes of this program and needs to be distinguished.

Now as you can see it is sending the textbox1 text and then pressing enter then sending textbox2 text! Theres quite a few problems in that but before i discuss note: This code is in a Timer. Problem #1: It does not send the keys fully correct all the time because its trying to send them all at once! So i want it to send them 1 letter after the other with 200 ms sleep in them! Problem #2: The sleep is not working: The reason i know is because even after it did the first textbox1 text it didnt wait that 2000 ms!

I am trying to send keys to a control on my form. But I am getting a NullReferenceException and I don't know why. The code is about as basic as it gets: [Code] The error reported is object reference not set to an instance of an object but Send is a shared method so doesn't need an instance. Strangely if I ignore the error it works fine and F4 is passed to the control. I know there was an issue with sendkeys and UAC but I thought this had been solved (I am using 4.0 framework).

I am trying to use the send keys function to send text to another program.I ahve gotten it al working well, except for using () as I know sendkeys doesnt like these.I have tried using the Replace function in several places in my code to replace the ( with {(} and {+0} etc, with various other options tried.But when I run the program, it seems to skip this out completly and leaves them in the string as (, and therefore it errors and wont run.When I step through it, it goes through the function but doesnt alter the strng as it should.
