How can you simulate keypresses and releases? I know you can essentially hit a key with Sendkeys.SendWait, but how can your code press and hold q, for example? I essentially wish to be able to call something like press("q") and release("q"). The effect would be the same as physically holding them down.

Damned. Is there a managed code somewhere in vb.net where mortals can simulate key presses?
Is there an e-book or book somewhere about it?
I currently have a windows services application written in vb.net 2008I want to mass build releases/installers that can carry an unique ID.So that each of my client can download an unique copy of the programMy windows services app must be able to access that unique ID.Heres an live scenario:I have 10000 clients, they can login to my website to download my program.Lets say client #10 downloads my program, the program will be able to read a value somehow that will give "10".The program downloaded by client #500 will be able to read the "500" value.The only ideas i can think of are:- Make the installer read the file name of the installation file, and add a registry key depening on part of the file name.
View 1 RepliesIn our company we have some specific softwares that have several releases during a year and we were wondering to notify the clients about new releases automatically. How can we code this functionality? I mean from where should we begin? we have an ftp which will contain those files. And How is that possible for us just to do the upgrade without uninstall and re-installing the whole package?
View 2 RepliesI have a VB.NET/C# Visual Studio 2010 Solution with a bunch of projects that depend on about 30 third-party DLLs all from 1 vendor. This third-party vendor recently released a new version of their software so I would like to parallel test their new software and my enhancements until I am comfortable to switch over. What is the best way to setup a solution in Visual Studio 2010 so that I can use the code I have developed on top of these third-party DLLs and have the opportunity to easily switch between:
(1) the new version of the third-party DLLs [for my testing] and
(2) the old version of the third-party DLLs in case I need to debug some problem a user is having.Third party assemblies ARE NOT in GAC (they're currently in a folder on a network drive). They are NOT strongly signed (ran sn -vf ). They are changing from version 5.4.618.0 to 5.4.619.60.
I am making a maze game like the one shown in the how to, I recently discovered that if you hold the right mouse button a you can go through the wall. Is there a way to make the mouse lock and not move when the user trys to hold the button down
or
When the user releases the button it resets. Like in the web browser with
If e.KeyCode =
Keys.Enter
Then
e.SuppressKeyPress =
True
WebBrowser1.Navigate(ToolStripTextBox1.Text)
But with the mouse button when it releases send the cursor back to start.

View 6 RepliesI am currently creating a Space Invaders game. Basically what I want to do is being able to move and shoot at the same time. The problem is that whenever one button is pressed to execute an action it cancels out any other button being pressed. I don't want that to happen. Currently I am just using Key down. How I can have multiple key presses at once?
Private Sub frmain_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
Dim Loc As Point
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.Left
[Code] .....
That's my code. This is basically the last thing i need done in my project.

View 1 RepliesI use keybd_event and mouse_event to simulate keypresses. I want taht to still work when the user is switch (Xp supports several users as we know).
Well, it doesn't.
I've heard sendmessage is more reliable,.
I manage to simulate click easily.
SimulateClick2 = SendMessage(hwnd, BM_CLICK, 0, 0)
Now, how to do so to simulate keypresses?
I've started building a small game where you move around a PictureBox control with keystrokes using the arrow keys. Everything was working fine....until I added a button.
Now the button steals the focus so that every time I hit an arrow key hoping to move my image, it just selects the button.
Is there any way to make the button selectable only by mouse click?
I've been looking around for a way to accomplish this to no luck, but is it possible to have a series of keypresses (Like Ctrl + Shift + O) or something like that act as an event? I'm trying to find a way to make something like this show a form using the old Me.Show() code.
View 3 RepliesI have the following code to handle keypresses on the form:
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
Debug.WriteLine(e.KeyCode)
[Code].....
The first time I press any of the arrow keys the code is not executed and a NumericUpDown(NUD) on the form gets the focus. The rest of the times the arrow keys are pressed everything is fine, until I click on a button. Then the problem repeats, focus NUD, then fine.
I'm making a mario-like clone and I just finished the jumping code. The only problem is that moving while jumping is extremely hard because if you hold down the up key and right key at the same time, neither one activates.
View 10 RepliesI am attempting to keep user inputs into our application as clean as possible. One way I am attempting to do this is not allowing incorrect data type in fields (not allowing alpha characters when expecting numeric values)I found and implemented the following code:
Private Sub txtSocial_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtSocial.KeyPress
Dim UserKeyPress As Char = e.KeyChar
Dim isKey As Boolean = e.KeyChar.IsDigit(UserKeyPress)

The user has to enter the text in the textbox , to write a text user need to press the keys and release the keys. Write a code to count the number of keypresses and keyreleases and display the value in the labels.

i want to users to be able to vote for their favourite soft drink. They will input the names of the soft drinks through the use of an inputbox, the names input are stored in an array. what i would like to do is count the votes given to each soft drink. How would this be done, please provide example code if possible.
p.s. i tried using a listbox and failed.Well during the set up of the program they will input the names of all soft drinks up for voting, and then all the soft drinks input wll be displayed in a list when the voting take place.
I'm trying to do here is get VB to hold a key down until I tell it to stop. Perhaps I'm missing something but I don't understand why this isn't working. This code can hold down shift and so on for as long as I want it too but absolutely refuses to hold down what i need it too (any letter key or numpad key)[code]
View 1 RepliesWell i've been trying to make something run with a lot less code(and faster) but it seems with SendKeys some things are getting lost(or discarded) by the program, its only the arrow keys as I try & make it complete a pre-defined maze to see how fast it can be completed.
If I use SendKeys("RIGHT 8") for example the maze usually only moves a few times, sometimes maybe only 1.
Also I looked up how to hold a key down/simulate it but it's not working for the arrow keys(untested on other keys).
The only way i've made it work is delays, decently delayed like 200ms & it's a huge maze but if i hold a key manually I can go much faster yet sendkeys method can't go that fast using individual presses this is why I want to simulate a holding down action.
---it must be working xample code I can make it work for my purpose if it works like on button click, etc....but I tried copying full (supposedly working) codes before & they never worked for me/my key, xample cause i've looked & tried hard(with only failing results).
MORE INFO:Also I tried SendKeys.SendWait() which is meant to wait for keystrokes to be processed & that didn't help either so my best guess is the keystrokes are processed but discarded(like a movement delay code that doesn't queue movements but rather ignores extra movements)
