VS 2010 : Difference Between SendKeys.SendWait And SendKeys.Send?

Jul 28, 2009

What is the difference between SendKeys.SendWait and SendKeys.Send?Send obviously will just send they key immediately, but does SendWait actually wait for the message to be processed or does it also send it immediately?The function's name itself is just confusing. Which one should I use if I want to send keystrokes to a 3rd party app immediately, or is there no difference? To me, a few milliseconds is a big difference.

That is the code, the error is "SendKeys is a type and cannot be used as an expression."

SendKeys Underlying API Or API Equivalent To SendKeys?

Dec 1, 2009

I'm looking for the underlying Win32 API call that the DotNET Framework invokes on a SendKeys.Send or .SendWait call, or a Win32 API Equivalent to SendKeys. I've already experimented with SetKeyboardState which seems like the way to go, except that it does not raise any kind of keyboard event that causes the set keystates to register with an active application or the OS (at least not until another key is pressed; for example I can meddle with the keyboardstate before events process on a natural keystroke, but I can't invoke a keystroke programmatically).

Making Class Methods Instead Of Instance Methods In .NET?

Mar 29, 2010

I am not sure how clear my question is by the title, but I am trying to make Class methods instead of Instance methods in Visual Basic that way I don't have to waste memory and code creating temporary objects to execute methods that don't need instance variables.

I am not sure if you can do that in VB but I know you can in Objective-C by using either a "+" or "-" sign in front of the method declaration. And in C++ (at least I think, I can't remember) you put the static keyword or const keyword in front of the function.How would I do this in VB if it is possible? Or should I just make a separate set of functions that are not members of a class?

C# - Sendkeys From WPF Application?

Jun 20, 2011

I have an WPF full screen application and I configured Skype´s "Focus Skype" Hotkey to Ctrl+F6 combination.

How can I send this message to windows (Ctrl+F6)? I tried by sendkeys but is not working, it says that: SendKeys cannot run inside this application because the application is not handling Windows messages. Either change the application to handle messages, or use the SendKeys.SendWait method."

I tried Sendkeys.sendwait method but it minimized my full screen application and I need it remains full screen.

Looking For A Alternative To SendKeys?

Jun 8, 2010

So I've been doing a lot of reading today and apparently SendKeys isn't very reliable anymore.Does anyone know of another alternative to it for what I need:

The application works by the form being positioned over a open window, notepad, word, excel etc and it then determines what it is over, notepad, word, excel etc and then reads the file, and does some processing using SendKeys at the moment.Though I do believe I could probably change the later at some point. The problem I'm having right now is when I try to send the Alt + Tab to change focus it's working roughly 12% of the time.If you are wondering I ran it 50 times and it worked 6 of those,thus the 12%.I'm thinking that is rather unacceptable.This is what I'm using which should work: SendKeys.SendWait("%{TAB}")

Sendkeys Or An Alternative?

Aug 30, 2010

First off, using VB2010. I'm in the process of upgrading some applications from VB6 to 2010 and haveing a great time of it. The current application I'm working on is using Sendkeys of which I have changed over to the WSH.Sendkeys of which is pretty decent. Basically the program is copy and pasting the current open file, reading some data and saving it as a different file type. It also has to change xls files to csv and then saving it to the format as well as a smiliar thing with word. Thus the reason for the copy and paste as it's changing the extension to a dot date (for example, test.830).This is the flow of how it works for a text file (most basic)

1. changes focus to notepad

2. Select all Copy to ClipBoard

3. Open Programmers File Editor and a blank file

4. Paste in text

5. Save as code.date extension to the directory

Excel files obviously have a few extra steps.

SendKeys To Another Application

Feb 24, 2012

I've been developing applications in VB 6 for many years. For a long while now I've not been developing and I switched over to Windows 7. Now I've been asked to build a trainer so I moved over to VB.net 2010 and I'm struggling to make the transition. Anyhow I'm stuck with this trainer.I've been asked by many players of an online game to create an application that serves as a trainer for leveling up characters. I've been personally approached by some of the guilds also. This is an MMORPG so instead of running around for hours, the trainer simulates the keyboard key 1 being pressed which is the attack button. So the character attacks monsters automatically until you stop the trainer. In this way you can leave the game running in the background and do other work.This small project has got me really excited in working in vb 2010 and to me it's a small kick start. I haven't done anything like this is Vb6, it was more database orientated and educational game software I was developing. So I'm clueless in this area.

It doesn't really work. If I activate the ingame chatbox it returns 1 and 49 respectively into the text area but doesn't activate the "attack" command even if the chatbox is deactivated. I'm guessing it's not sending the keyboard press event but instead sending a string?

Using Sendkeys/sendmessage?

Aug 14, 2010

I'm trying to send some words to an application I'm running (exe file, no webpage). To do this I run my vb program and minimize it, so that the application I want to send the words to have focus.Now I've tried sendkeys, but it seems sendkeys only sends my first word and does nothing with the other words. The code below is called 4 times by the main form

If i > 3 Then i = 0
i = i + 1
If i = 1 Then verhaal ="some text 1"[code]....

but this throws in a overflowexception was unhandled error at the apiSendMessage(hWnd, WM_SETTEXT, 0, "Hello") line.I've tried several things but I can't figure it out how to send multiple words to the application without problems .

Well, I do not like the sendkeys.send method because it's way too buggy &only works under the right conditions.Here's a pic of google instant and ebay does the same thing.
