I have a program that tries to grab keyboard imput using GetAsyncKeyState.On XP 32 bit and win7 32 bit it runs fine but on Windows 7 64bit it doesnt regester any keys being pressed. Any Ideas?
If GetAsyncKeyState(Keys.F12) < 0 Then
If isF12 = False Then
If toggle Then

My Intent:I am developing an application for myself which will take a series of keycodes pressed by me(even if my program is not in focus) and execute commands associated with it.It is basically like developing hotkeys.What I Have Tried:I have searched well and tried to implement GetasyncKeyState() in my program and it works well....but the problem is, it tells if a certain key is pressed but not which key was pressed last, which is what I want........I need to know which key was pressed so that I can make a word out of it and check if it equals my predefined names to execute the command, something like this:
Dim word = lastkey
word = word + lastkey
if (word = "startnotepad")
[code]......
I have a really annoying problem. I use GetAsyncKeyState() to determine if a key was pressed or not.Unfortunately, that event fires as long as I hold down a key. Is there any way to check if a Key was released?
View 1 RepliesI have looked at many of the tutorials, however, using 64-bit windows vista home premium using those examples, it doesnt seem to work, however, I don't have other computer to test on, is there a good way to do what GetAsyncKeyState does on my system?

I am trying to input the function key that a user has selected from a ComboBox (containing the function keys F1~F12 as options) into the GetAsyncKeyState(). However, since the ComboBox_StartHotkey.Text is a string, it cannot be converted into Long data type needed for the GetAsyncKeyState() function. I have tried Conversion and Parse Methods but what I try doesn't seem to work. Anyone know how to effectively convert a String (such as F6) into a Long data type for using in the GetAsyncKeyState() function in this case?
I used the tried to use the ItemData property to hold the Key Code representing the Function Key.

im trying to make a program that only listens to a few keys that the user presses, and if one of them is pressed, it carries out a specified command.for example, right now,i found a keylogger that could carry out my command, but id rather use something else if possible. right now, i have a timer running this:
For i = 1 To 255
result = 0
result = GetAsyncKeyState(i)[code]....
Then, in the textbox1_textchanged, i search for like if textbox1.text.contains("M") or something.problem with this, is im pretty sure its a keylogger, and i dont want to have to have that. also, it does not work in vista.
Found a solution! (should have researched more throughly!)

I am working on moving applications from Windows 2000 to new server Windows 2003 R2(64 Bit). I noticed that there are some VB programs and config files for those programs have been placed in Windows 2000 Registry. Some other applications are using them from different servers.Why do we use registry here? How can i move these to registry in windows 2003? Can I just move these or do I have to write VB programs to place them in 2003 registry?

View 4 RepliesI'm attempting to use waveOutSetVolume from coredll.dll to gradually increase the audio volume from silent (or near silent) to maximum.

OFF = 0
LOW = 858993459

OK, and here's some API documentation which doesn't make a lot of sense to me in this particular context. What is low-order word and high-order word and how can they both exist in a single value?
· dwVolume New volume setting. The low-order word contains the left-channel volume setting, and the high-order word contains the right-channel setting. A value of 0xFFFF represents full volume, and a value of 0x0000 is silence. If a device does not support both left and right volume control, the low-order word of dwVolume specifies the volume level, and the high-order word is ignored.
