Any Harm To Monitor In Using SendMessage Function

Nov 26, 2009

I developed a little app which uses SendMessage function to turn off monitor. My friend asked me whether using the app regularly will harm his monitor. He had some issues with his mother board when he used a similar app. Is there any harm (for hardware) in using the function to do things like these?

I am developing an application that inserts text into another application. No problems at all finding handles and using SendMessage to insert text into their standard edit boxes/combo boxes/etc.My problem is that when I attempt to insert text into what appears to be a masked

Monitor The Registry For Changes Similar To How Sysinternals Process Monitor ?

Jan 31, 2011

Can I monitor the registry for changes similar to how sysinternals process monitor does it in VB? I have checked many different articles and C# samples but not come any closer to getting an answer, I would like to know if there an easier way (a VB sample perhaps)that you folks can share. Ultimately I'd like to be able monitor other things too like file system, processes etc but wonder most about how the registry can be done in VB...Would using system.management be a start? Or WMI? if so is there a nice VB sample..

Using Sendkeys/sendmessage?

Aug 14, 2010

I'm trying to send some words to an application I'm running (exe file, no webpage). To do this I run my vb program and minimize it, so that the application I want to send the words to have focus.Now I've tried sendkeys, but it seems sendkeys only sends my first word and does nothing with the other words. The code below is called 4 times by the main form

If i > 3 Then i = 0
i = i + 1
If i = 1 Then verhaal ="some text 1"[code]....

but this throws in a overflowexception was unhandled error at the apiSendMessage(hWnd, WM_SETTEXT, 0, "Hello") line.I've tried several things but I can't figure it out how to send multiple words to the application without problems .

.net - Sendmessage Mouseevent Not Working?

Jul 27, 2009

I have this code:

Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = &H2
Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = &H4
Dim WindowHandle As Long = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Ultima Online")
SendMessage(WindowHandle, MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0)
SendMessage(WindowHandle, MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0)

I know it is getting the windowhandle fine, because I made a conditional statment that pops up a messagebox if windowhandle = 0 The problem is that it is not sending the mouse click to the window.

Simulating Keypresses With Sendmessage?

Nov 30, 2009

I use keybd_event and mouse_event to simulate keypresses. I want taht to still work when the user is switch (Xp supports several users as we know).

Well, it doesn't.

I've heard sendmessage is more reliable,.

I manage to simulate click easily.

SimulateClick2 = SendMessage(hwnd, BM_CLICK, 0, 0)

Now, how to do so to simulate keypresses?

Can anyone give me a SendMessage/PostMessage Example? I want to make SendMessage/PostMessage work like SendKeys, except instead of sending keys to the app in focus, it will send keys to a certain app. I've looked at a lot of examples that use notepad, but they all need to use "find" the "EDIT" thing. I dont want that. Is there any other way?

Click Within A Window Using SendMessage Or PostMessage

Dec 23, 2008

I am launching an external that brings up a window that is split into two frames. I am able to get the handle of the frame and what I want to do is click inside the frame in a certain area.

For example, if I open "System Information" by launching msinfo32.exe, how would I click on Internet Settings in the left window pane? I don't need the exact coordinates, just an explanation of how it can be done using SendMessage or PostMessage.

I've tried things like:

PostMessage(sideWnd, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 200, 1200)
PostMessage(sideWnd, WM_LBUTTONUP, 200, 1200)

I wasn't sure if the end two numbers would be coordinates, but if they are, I've tried different numbers and can't seem to get it to click anything other than the first item in the list of the left window frame.

Compatible Sendmessage And Sendmessagetimeout APIs?

Jan 26, 2012

I need an API for sendmessage and sendmessagetimeout for my VB .net application. I have searched quite a bit, and everything I find doesn't seem to work: either the message just doesnt seem to be sent, or the message appears to be sent with the msg parameter always 0, and the wparam setting as what I enter for the msg setting. Pinvoke's also always seems to throw an AccessViolationException for I have no idea what reason. I tried playing around with maybe just where I put the variable, but unsurprisingly, there is not a simple logical switch of the variables.I have tried pinvoke's:

<DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError:=True)> _
Public Shared Function SendMessageTimeout(ByVal windowHandle As IntPtr, ByVal Msg As Integer, ByVal wParam As IntPtr, ByVal lParam As IntPtr, ByVal flags As
