Detect Keystrokes And Send Mouse Clicks
May 31, 2007
hello,
i'm trying to build a application for my buddy who plays online games and has asked for a simple program to click the mouse button within his game that he plays for a certain amount of time with a certain duration between. my questions comes ( and i searched but didnt find much useful information for .net framework anyway) about how to detect a combination of keystrokes to start an action and further more to send a click event to the game that should be main focus. i'd also appreciate any tutorials on sending information to other forms controls etc.
thank you for any help

I need to detect whenever user clicks the mouse, no matter what form is selected at the given time.
I know that detected keypresses globally can be done through a Keyboard hook so I assume that i am going to need some sort of Mouse Hook.

So what I am trying to accomplish is running a program that constantly tracks mouse coordinates relevant to a specific process window rather than all of the screen.

How would I make my VB Program detect mouse clicks? I want the code in a timer. So if I turn the timer on, my program will detect a Mouse click and then do the rest of the Timer code. And after the timer code is done, I want it to do it again until the timer is closed. So if the timer is on, every time I click the mouse, (anywhere on screen) it will do the rest of timer code.

I'm trying to create an application similar to the site WhatPulse, which will generate an image with my clicks and keystrokes. WhatPulse only updates the image once every 24 hours, so I am going to make an application to keep track of that for me, only with realtime stats.
How can I count total keystrokes (outside of the application itself) as well as total clicks, in vb.net?

I am fairly novice hobbyist developer. I am developing a simple calculator app. How can I detect the keystrokes, like when the user presses "1" key on numpad or they "1" key above Q key? I want to call the same subroutine that runs when the user click on the butten control "a "on calculator's main form.

I have built many applications that work with a barcode reader. What I need now is a means to reading the scanned item through a background services such as a windows services or something.My task is to scan a barcode on a identification label that is placed on a cut size of glass and record the order line item as being processed. This will update the database to reflect the cut size has been completed.My restriction is the processes keeps an application showing a cut pattern of the stock sheet of glass in focus so I can not have another application active to capture the scanners results. Here in lies where I have to have a application running in the background listening for a text or alpha-numeric string that will tell the application to run the scan.

Im using Visual Basic 2008 Express..Is there a way to disable mouse click for a while in Visual Basic 2008, I mean if mouse was clicked more than 1 time in very short time to click only once? -- I need it because my mouse became like crazy one.. when I click once it may clicks twice or more.so until I buy another one, I'd like to filter click, to allow only one click and to block another clicks that were made in last second.

I am trying to send some keys to a program that I launched, but every time i send the keys focus is not on the program and the keys are sent to the wrong program. Is there a better way to send keys to a program or a way to set focus on a certain program?

How to send keystrokes in v.net automatically ..

I am using visual basic code, specifically the sendkeys.send method, to send keystrokes to a different application, in my case Acrobat Reader. Here is my problem. I am sending instructions and text to define a path to a file I want to open in Acrobat Reader. Every keystroke is being sent and interpreted in Reader correctly except the Colon. This is the line of code I am using:Sendkeys.send("C:")
I have tried every variation of this simple line of code I can think of, but the result is the same. Reader for some reason wants to interpret the Colon as Uppercase Q, so what I get is CQ. This of course totally messes up my path to the file I want to open.Sendkeys. sendwait("C:") Behaves the same
I understand there are timing issus with this method so I have added code to my app.config file suggested in this forum for taking care of the timing issue. I have also inserted delays into the execution of the program steps. Nothing I have done solves this problem.I wonder if anyone else has experienced this or a similar problem and if so what was done to correct it.

I have seen that there are many "Mouse & Keyboard Macros/Recorders" out there & I was wondering how they are being created in visual basic. I have looked within the Microsoft forums, but havent really seen any specific coding that works for the kind of recorder that I'm trying to create.

How do I make the form send keystrokes such as Tab, Enter, Left Arrow etc to itself without interfering with other programs? If I use the SendKeys.Send method, it would send it to whatever window is opened. Is there a way to only work with the form? Very quick random example: Let's say I have 5 textBoxs and I click the 'Tab' button 5 times. What would happen ?
It would change the focus from one textbox to another right? Can I make this happen automatically ... like make it happen in the background and only to the form itself. So If I'm typing something on Notepad, I don't want to receive those 5 tabs. By the way I know I can use this code to change the fofucs, but remember its only an example.

In Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition, how would I send keystrokes to a specific window. Right now, I just keep the window I want on top and use sendkeys.send("{enter}"). The window that I want to send keystrokes to is my applications window.

I cannot seem to wrap my head around the SendMessage function/method. What I am trying to do is send keystrokes to an instance of webbrowser1 within my vb.net application. Can someone give me a decent example of the code I would need to create to process this using the keystrokes below.

I'm trying to send the keys "ABC" and "Enter" to Notepad when I press a button. I've been reading forever on Hooks, "SendKeys" functions, but I can't figure it out. I don't think I need to use a hook, because I'm not making a hotkey or anything, I'm just pressing a button and sending the keystrokes to a window when it's not focused.

I wrote program that will send keystrokes to a computer if a button is pressed. The button is wired to a db9 connector and plugged into the pc. The program works, except I can not figure out how to detect if the cable gets unplugged. I am monitoring the CD pin change event to send keystrokes, but if the cable is not plugged in then I need it to send a messagebox.

I know how to send mouse clicks and keystrokes into an application when it is open and active, but this particular application the task is very repetitive and can be done with a script of sorts. What i want is how do i make a program to be able to send inputs (key clicks) into the application when it is minimized (the application minimized that is). doing this minimized would then allow me to do other more important things whilst the vb program is sending instructions into the other app.[code]...

I detect header row clicks this way:
If dgV.CurrentCellAddress.X = 0 And dgV.CurrentCellAddress.Y = 0 Then
msgbox("Header clicked")
end if
However, if I click on a cell, the above don't work anymore. How can I detect it always?

I have aconsole application that executes 2 other processes, and then closes the processes once it's finished its work.
If the user closes the console application prematurely, the 2 other processes go rogue and sit idle (As they are expecting to be closed by the console).
Is it possible to detect when the user clicks the X or closes the console app in another fashion, so I can also destroy the spawned processes?

I have an application in Visual Basic Express 2008 that just has a Windows Media Player control on a blank form. In order to prevent the user from double clicking which would result in the media player full screening, I want to disable both right and left mouse clicks on the form and Windows Media Player control. Any suggestions?

I use pictureboxes on my GUI for click controls. The associated function will be executed whenever user clicks the picturebox control.
My question is that, how do I discard(not just suppress) a control click (message) for a period of time (i.e. during the function execution).
I simple just want the click messages made during the function execution discarded by VB.
