View 6 RepliesI am making this little tool for this online game i play (league of legends some of you might know it) Basically I made a small program which consists of 4 buttons and when you click button it starts timer and beeps once it reaches 0. Thats fine. Problem is I have to go out of game to click the button to start the countdown.My question is. While the program is running in background is there a way to press the button by assigning specific key on keyboard ? for example if I press F5 it will start the Bluebtn when i press F6 it will start Redbtn while I am in game.

View 1 RepliesUsing 2 forms how would I click one button, from another form? ie In VB 4,5,6, I would used to do it as:-
Form 1:
private sub Command1_Click()
msgbox "Say Hello"
End Sub[code].....
If I clicked the button in form2, it would automaticlly, click the button in form1. Do I, do it the same way in VB Express or has it changed?

I have a few questions:
1. how do I make a button press a certain button in another application? (i.e - for example it goes to application "iexplorer" and press insert, home, a, b, or other button in the keyboard)
2. How do I make a virtual keyboard (for example a button opens form 2 or 3 and when you click on a button in the keyboard it goes to a certain text box in form 1)?
I'm trying to make a picturebox move left by 5 pixels when i press the left key. I am completely lost right now to be honest, and I've been trying to figure this out for the last 4 hours.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to assign a date object to nullable but my code error on CBDate1 = nullDate. The message indicates that I need to assign a value to a nullable. This is my first time using nullable[code\]...
View 9 RepliesI have an object, o, and a type, T. I'd like to use reflection to change object o to type T at runtime without instantiating it.The equivalent at compile time would be:
Dim p as Point = Nothing I know how to use Activator.CreateInstance to create an instance at run time that is equivalent to: Dim p as New Point()
But i don't want to do this. I have no knowledge of the type's constructor parameters and some types don't have a parameterless constructor. eg. Font. So, to sum up, I'd like a way of performing the equivalent of: Dim o as T = Nothing
In case you're wondering why I'm doing this, it's because I'm using a PropertyGrid on a form to edit types. If this is the first time for editing, say, a Font, then passing an uninitialised Font to the PropertyGrid makes the grid display the default values.
I tried 'o = GetUninitializedObject(T)', but the PropertyGrid either wants a properly initialised object or an object, with a defined type, set to nothing.
I've actually solved my particular problem here: how-to-use-the-property-grid-in-a-form-to-edit-any-type
, but i'd still be interested to know how to assign a type at run-time without the use of a wrapper class (which I was lucky enough to be using).

View 2 Repliesi am trying to make a app that loads a keyboardhook from a module on startup, but the problem i am having is unless i load the keyhook from the form, the app just closes immediately.
what im trying to accomplish in the end is the module will will check a 'user settings' file, depending on the settings it will show a form or load the keyhook. but this is where my problem is, if i set the keyboardhook to load from the sub main in the module the app will just close immediately unless (as far as i can tell) i am always typing something
if i set it to load from the form it stays open, ive tried creating a second module and loading the keyhook from their but it still closes i uploaded a copy of the keyhook module if anyone want to test it / check out the code... all it does right now is pop up a msgbox on every keystoke, for testing purposes,
I Have A App That i made all i wish to do is hit enter and it will press buttoI under stand that i could maybe just submit the data that is in the text box but i don't wish to do so. i just want to set up keys so i don't need to point and click.
