How to emulate a mouse click with directinput?
like ive been searching for this for hours and can't find anything decent for VB 2008
I've been using DirectX SDK libraries (Specificaly DirectInput) to use a joystick with an desktop program, but I haven't been able to make the program get the input form the joystick (X and Y Axis). This is the code I'm using on Main Form:
[Code]...
Ok, so I am attempting to try my hand in directinput, I got the code up and running within VB.net, it recognizes the controller and almost all buttons work, but for some reason 2 or 3 of the axis do not work on each controller.I have tried this with an xbox360 wireless controller and a Logitech wired controller (ps2 style) they both show the correct amount of axis on each controller, but do not work correctly.[code]I have looked everywhere for my problem, but the issue is, I am not exactly sure what the problem is to search for.if anyone also knows how to access the "X" (power) button on the xbox controller, that would be awesome as well, because I want it to interact with my program!and if you don't have a wireless receiver a wired one is exactly the same...
View 2 RepliesI've been working with code that polls a USB controller for changes using DirectInput, however I would much prefer I could make it event-driven instead (to cut CPU usage). Does anyone know if there is some method of doing this with DirectInput? I can provide the code upon request.

View 2 RepliesWhat I want to achieve is, getting the current position of the mouse when it's clicked on the form (so also on any object on the form)I can get the position with (this code runs in Timer1)
Dim MousePosition As Point
MousePosition = Cursor.Position
Button4.Text = MousePosition.X & " " & MousePosition.Y
But how do I capture an an overall Click event, so when the mosue is clicked the timer stops?
With the following code, I am creating a child form when my main form loads:
Public Class Form1
Dim cForm As New System.Windows.Forms.Form
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code]....
Once it loads, the main form doesn't seem to handle the mouseclick event. Is that because the child fom is showing, and somehow IT has to handle the click event (even though I'm not clicking within the boundaries of the child form)?
I have an ActiveX component (for mapping) I am using that I need to do an action on a mouse click, but the event isn't exposed. Internally, the class seems to fire an event, as it has a LastPointClicked() method that you can call that returns the map coordinates of the last point you clicked on. I am trying to find a way to center the map on the point clicked. I could fudge it with some kind of timer that just checks to see if the LastPointClicked has changed and center if it did,
View 2 RepliesI've been trying to write a utility program that enables you to click a certain number of times and having a specified program open up when that happens. Ex: If I consecutively click 5 times it will open explorer, 6 times will open outlook, ect.I have the entire program writen out, the only things thats stopping its completion is that I can only log clicks that happen ON the form, not on the desktop, or within any window (globally detecting mouse clicks, as opposed to only on the forum
Code:
Private Sub Form1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Click

For some reason I have always used the SelectedIndexChanged property to take action when something is clicked (I guess because this is the default property? ie when you double click the listbox this is what you get). However I have often come across problems when I try to unselect all the items in the listbox by calling
View 2 RepliesI have a treeview, and lets say in the treeview I have the nodes "Textbox1", "Textbox2", and "Textbox3". Also on the form I have 3 textboxes. What I want it to do is when I click "Textbox1" in the tree, to select all text and bring focus to the first textbox. So on the AfterSelect event of the treeview, I find out what node Im on, and what textbox to go to, then I say Textbox1.Focus() : Textbox1.SelectAll().When I use the keyboard and navigate to that node, it works. It jumps the focus off of the treeview and to that textbox, selecting all it's text. Works fine.But when I click on it with my mouse, it doesn't. It does select the text, bring focus to the textbox, but immediately brings focus right back to the treeview. (you have to look really close to see it) I'm thinking there's some mouse event that is bringing the focus back to the treeview, but not sure what.
View 3 RepliesI have spent the last hours trying to make an easy fix for this. Setting it to enabled=false is no good in this case. What I was looking for is a way to prevent the user to place the cursor in a multiline textbox. This is a read only textbox, and the user can't type anything in it, but for some reason he can still place the cursor in it, that is what I try to prevent.

View 5 RepliesI've noticed that in VS2008 the Mouse_Click() event is not firing for the right mouse button.I create a standard WinForms button called "btnMouseEvents". Wire up the MouseClick event. The event fires for the left button but not the right.
Private Sub btnMouseEvents_MouseClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles btnMouseEvents.MouseClick
MsgBox("Mouse click. Button = " & e.Button.ToString())

I am trying to send a mouseclick via the code below and it works fine. But I was wondering how would I send a "virtual" mouseclick(It emulates a mouseclick at specified point but does not move the cursor)
Public Class Form1

Public Declare Auto Function GetCursorPos Lib "User32.dll" (ByRef lpPoint As Point) As Integer

I am learning how to develop Windows Forms applications with Visual Basic Express 2008, and my testing/learning application has a TabControl with a few test pages (3, for example, the number isn't relevant here).Now, I am handing the MouseClick event on the Tabcontrol, and I can't seem to be able to figure out how to get which tab was clicked on.I believe that the MouseClick event isn't fired if I click on another place of the tab strip, therefore a tab must have been clicked on. The problem is, which was the tab?

I have created a User Control and would like to be able to detect when the user clicks on the Form.I have seen this question which is related but the suggestion to use the the Leave event doesn't always do what I want because the focus doesn't necessarily change when the user clicks the Form (my control could be the only control on the Form in which case focus stays with my control).I want to be able to do something like this from within the User Control:[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a form, and the background color of the form is set to the transparency key, making the background of the form transparent. The problem I'm having, is that the form cannot recognize the MouseClick event (when I click on the transparent background of the form). I figured out that the transparent background is triggering this problem. When I shut off the transparency, everything works fine.My question is.. Is there any work around? I still need to use the form to be able to access certain objects that are rendering there, so I don't think I could use something like a "Panel" for example, because the objects will render underneath and possibly make them inaccessible.

Visual Basic 6 had the Text Box Array that worked great.It no longer exists(in the same form) in either Visual Basic 20085 or 2010.I know that there are work-arounds that emulate the Text Box array but these are certainly not as easy to use as the version 6 Text Box Array.
In Visual Basic 2010 there is a tool box item that can be added, called Text Box Array. However, this does not place a Text Box on the form and I can't find any explanation of how to use it.what adding this to a form accomplishes and how to use it?
I can load web pages into VS 2008 and then examine each component. Is there a way to load a web page in a browser control but not make it "active" - in otherwords, If there is a field for "Search Term" anmd a button for "Search", I want the prog to diosplay the properties of those elements rather than taking action.

View 7 Repliesjust trying to work out some functions, like time delays and such and autoclickers.What I have is two command buttons and one textbox, and what I want this program to do is make a mouseclick according to the time inserted into the textbox (in milliseconds). e.g say someone types in "500", after button 1("START") is clicked, the mouse will click every 500 milliseconds, and button 2 ("STOP") will halt execution. Also, would this continue execution in the background, if i have other programs open? I've been able to make a program that has a timer which ticks at the specified time, I just can't get it to make the mouse click, i've tried "cmdButton.PerformClick" but thats not working,

Anyone know how we can connect a USB cable to one of the ports on the computer and send keys to it and have that acted like it was a keyboard if the cable was connected to another computer? I'm sure the USB jump drive for example is like a mini-computer, so how do we do the same thing but with a computer? Is there any code in VB, .NET for this?
