Repeatability Of The .Sendkeys Method?

Dec 7, 2009

I'm using a simple interface to write to notepad from a homemade module, but can't seem to get the My.Computer.Keyboard.Sendkeys method to work everytime. When it does work, it works well. When it doesn't, I can't seem to figure out what it's doing. I'm just trying to copy text from a VB module to 'any' other app., in this case I was using Notepad.

VS 2008 SendKeys.Send() Method Does Not Send The Keys Fully Correct All The Time

Nov 9, 2009

[Code]....

Now as you can see it is sending the textbox1 text and then pressing enter then sending textbox2 text! Theres quite a few problems in that but before i discuss note: This code is in a Timer. Problem #1: It does not send the keys fully correct all the time because its trying to send them all at once! So i want it to send them 1 letter after the other with 200 ms sleep in them! Problem #2: The sleep is not working: The reason i know is because even after it did the first textbox1 text it didnt wait that 2000 ms!

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.

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).

Inheritance - Create A Method Called StartWorking() And Want FrmChild To Inherit - Method

Nov 25, 2011

I have a large problem with inheritance in vb.net. The problem is the following:

I have 2 forms => frmBase and frmChild

In frmBase i want to create a method Called StartWorking() and i want frmChild to inherit this method.

But here is the tricky thing: when frmChild.StartWorking is called i would like the following => without calling MyBase.StartWorking()

I want frmBase.StartWorking() to be executed first and after a test in frmBase.StartWorking if blnValue is true then frmChild.StartWorking has to be activated. if blnValue is false that frmChild.StartWorking cannot be activated.

Use The ToString Method And A Counter To Concatenate A File Name Into A String Variable From The Image.FromFile Method?

Dec 18, 2010

I have nine pictures that I need to animate -I need to use the ToString method and a counter to concatenate a file name into a string variable from the Image.FromFile method. Once the counter reaches its maximum value, and the last picture is displayed, the counter should be reset to zero or one depending on how the first image file has been name. Also a static counter variable should be incremented in the time routine. what I have so far -- I know what I have to do; however, I just do not know how to code this properly.. Right now I have this going thru a button procedure but it needs to go through a timer.

Reflected Method From A Loaded Assembly Executes Before Calling Method?

Jun 9, 2009

When I am loading an Assembly dynamically, then calling a method from it, I appear to be getting the method from Assembly executing before the code in the method that is calling it.It does not appear to be executing in a Serial manner as I would expect. Can anyone shine some light on why this might be happening. Below is some code to illustrate what I am seeing, the code from the some.dll assembly calls a method named PerformLookup. For testing I put a similar MessageBox type output with "PerformLookup Time: " as the text. What I end up seeing is:

First: "PerformLookup Time: 40:842"
Second: "initIndex Time: 45:873"

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 .
