View 6 RepliesHow To Get Multiple KeyPresses At Once
Jun 20, 2008I am currently creating a Space Invaders game. Basically what I want to do is being able to move and shoot at the same time. The problem is that whenever one button is pressed to execute an action it cancels out any other button being pressed. I don't want that to happen. Currently I am just using Key down. How I can have multiple key presses at once?
Private Sub frmain_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
Dim Loc As Point
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.Left
[Code] .....
That's my code. This is basically the last thing i need done in my project.

View 1 RepliesHow To Simulate Keypresses And Releases
Dec 28, 2010How can you simulate keypresses and releases? I know you can essentially hit a key with Sendkeys.SendWait, but how can your code press and hold q, for example? I essentially wish to be able to call something like press("q") and release("q"). The effect would be the same as physically holding them down.
View 1 RepliesSimulating Keypresses With Sendmessage?
Nov 30, 2009I 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't Detect Keypresses When A Button Is Present
Mar 31, 2009I've started building a small game where you move around a PictureBox control with keystrokes using the arrow keys. Everything was working fine....until I added a button.
Now the button steals the focus so that every time I hit an arrow key hoping to move my image, it just selects the button.
Is there any way to make the button selectable only by mouse click?
Using A Series Of Keypresses To Open A Window?

Feb 26, 2010I have the following code to handle keypresses on the form:
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
Debug.WriteLine(e.KeyCode)
[Code].....
The first time I press any of the arrow keys the code is not executed and a NumericUpDown(NUD) on the form gets the focus. The rest of the times the arrow keys are pressed everything is fine, until I click on a button. Then the problem repeats, focus NUD, then fine.

View 3 RepliesListen For The 'End Sub Event'?
May 26, 2009This is my first post, so hopefully I'm asking it in the correct place.
Currently I have two subs where the first calls the second.
Sub Sub1()
'some code
Call Sub2(x)
End Sub
Sub Sub2()
'some code
End Sub
This means that Sub1 does not end until after Sub2 is complete.I need to have Sub2 run after Sub1 has ended. In my case Sub1 is triggered from an application event, so calling the two subs from another 'parent' sub would not work.Is there a way that I can listen for the 'End Sub Event' of a sub?I am currently working in VBA but will be heading to .net shortly so I'll take whatever flavour of code people can help with.

View 8 RepliesUsing TCP To Listen For Connections
Dec 17, 2010I am developing an Application that uses TCP To listen for connections, and then when a message is sent to the server and then it alerts the IP that is running the server. (Lets say the server is on a iPhone, and some how the iPhone gets a text message, which alerts a tcp server running in the background via a .jar, it would send the owner of the iPhone a message on the computer telling it it has a text. This is just an example though, but I think it gets the general idea across. I've been trying to do this, and I can connect to a TCP Server (using 127.0.0.1:8888 for testing purposes, will move to a solid IP and Port later). I can start the server (its still buggy and under development) but i don't know how to connect to the server via an application, and when a certain message is received to alert the IP Running the server.
My Server Code is:
Dim serverSocket As New TcpListener(8888)
Dim clientSocket As TcpClient
Dim infiniteCounter As Integer
Dim counter As Integer
serverSocket.Start()
[Code] .....
Now I know that to connect you'd do something like
Code:
Dim clientSocket As New System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient()
Dim serverStream As NetworkStream
clientSocket.Connect("127.0.0.1", 8888)
serverStream = clientSocket.GetStream()
And I know I would have to use some sort of Byte() method to send/receive messages, but I am at a loss on how to set it all up.

View 3 RepliesGet An Object To Listen For Its Property's Event?
Dec 15, 2009I have an object of type SomeObject, with an event StatusChanged. I have a property in SomeObject of type Status also with an event StatusChanged. Within a private function in SomeObject, I would like to run some logic (including firing the StatusChanged event) in the event that Status has fired its StatusChanged event. I have been away from events for a while so it's a bit cloudy to me. How do I do this?
I'm writing in ASP.NET/VB.NET EDIT Ok, in the event that I can't do the above, how would I get the outer object (SomeObject) to fire its StatusChanged event when the inner object (Status) fires its StatusChanged event?

View 3 RepliesListen To Events From A Windows Service?
May 10, 2011Not surer if I know exactly how to ask or phrase this questions/discussion.I have a windows service that listens to a COM port for GPS data and send the information out through a UDP port to a listening application (VB6 app). I have a UI front end for the service that I would like to listen or watch the data and do some other things with the data.
The service raises an event in which I would like to have my UI listen to. Now I'm guessing that since my UI is on one thread and the service is on another, if I add a handler to the event, it may never pick it up.
Therefore, I am wondering how can I listen to the events from a sperate UI application. I heard a lot about Remoting, but my concern is configuration; our end users are not technical at all and not sure what is involved...and I'm not that familair with Remoting.
