View 4 RepliesI want to start my project with a sub main by disabling the application framework. The problem is that if i do this then the application starts and then exits in a few moments. Is there a way which could hold it until the last form is closed.
View 7 RepliesI have an application with a splash screen which gets shown before the application starts. One of the requirements of the application is to allow users to restart (or atleast clear the form) so that other test cases can be ran. Because there are so many forms and variables, we elected to simply call Application.Restart() to accomplish this.
What we would like to do now is disable the Splash Screen when Application.Restart() is called. That is, only show the Splash Screen when the application is initially started, not when it is restarted.
I have a problem detecting whether one of the arrow keys is pressed, all the other keys seem to be detected apart from the arrow keys??? I have set key preview to True........ It detects the arrrow keys BUT ONLY if I have NO other controls on the form??? example..
Me.Text = e.keycode
It works, but then if I add a button for example, it stops.
I would like to know how to send keys to another application and also, how to get some text from application and then send keys.
Example.
somegame.exe ( I type in-game message ?mm ) and my vb.net application see that and send keys to somegame.exe ( Missing Player From Middle Lane )..
I'm trying to make a easy hot key cheat system for a game. I have a timer that checks to see if the game is activated if not then it says game not running in a label box. If so then it says it's running. It detects it running so that's good. I want it to check to see if the numberic key was pressed like 1 and it will type in the cheat code. here's the source.
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Me.Focus()

currently my VB Skills aren't so good so bare with me here. application to be able to send keystrokes to another without having it popup. Like it should remain minimized, it shouldn't interfere with whatever you are doing on your PC while it sends the strokes. I received this request from some one else to do. So basically I just need to get focus to the application while it remains minimized and send keystrokes.

View 1 RepliesI have written a POS application, and now i want to create different versions of it.omething like a basic version, a premium version and a Full version. So if a client pays more they get more features in the same application. Is it possible that i could keep one standard application but features in my application get enabled / disabled depending upon what license key user enters. Restrict parts of code that can be executed only if a certain key was entered.

View 1 RepliesI need to be able to send keycode keys.apps (windows context menu key) to an application. Surely if I can detect the keypress, there's a way to send the keypress, right?
What I'm doing is having a 3rd party app save a screenshot and the only way to have it do so is through its right click context menu.
just wondering how i could give my auto typer hot keys, for example they press f1 to start the typer f2 to stop it.

I'm trying to create a shortcut which expands or collapses my treeview using the ctrl+alt+up-arrow or ctrl+alt+down-arrow:
If Keys.ControlKey And e.KeyCode = Keys.Alt And e.KeyCode = Keys.Down Then

End If

How could I loop through a list of the keys that are available in the 'Keys' enumeration? It seems like it should be something easy to do, but I'm not having any luck finding a collection that I can loop through.
View 6 RepliesIn my main application Form I have a number of menu and toolbar button functions to which I have assigned shortcut keys such as F10, F11 and F12. The shortcuts work well except for instances where certain controls have focus, such as a 3rd-party grid control. In that case the F11 or other shortcuts are handled by that control and swallowed... they never make it to my event handler of the main UI.
I don't really want to, and can't with the 3rd party controls, modify each control (there are dozens) to pass on my F* keys. I thought of hooking the app's message pump but that seems like a severe solution. Is there a better, cleverer way to handle this situation?
(This is a .NET WinForms MDI (2.0) application which hosts many kinds of home-spun as well as 3rd party components.)
So I found this little morpg. The game is fun but really repetitive. I would like to simplify some of the tasks in the game. I do not know how to start this project. How can I recored arrow keys and then tell the computer to enter the arrow keys? One of the objectives in the game is to run around a farm 2x and scare away any wolfs. So the commands would be "arrow key up" for 30sec and then "arrow key right" for 4 sec and repeat. I have worked with robots in real life for some time. We would fill arrays with such instructions. One of the most fun things to program! But I have no idea how to do this in VB.
View 12 RepliesI need to capture the left and right arrow keys in Form1.KeyDown event so I can use them as hot keys. Instead they seem to be assigned to tab order (move focus to previous/next control) and the KeyDown event never gets called. How can I remove the arrow keys from tab order and use them for my hot keys instead?
