I am replacing an AutoHotkey script with a VB.net application. Part of the script involves sending keystrokes to an active application. VB uses SendInput and does send the keystrokes, but the application doesn't "get" them, but when AutoHotkey sends the same key to the same application, it works. I have verified that VB is indeed sending the keys properly. Does anyone know how to imitate the autohotkey Send function?
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to write a program to control input. Unfortunately, thing always seems to fail.
The thing always comes up with "Application Defined or Object Defined Error". It doesn't help that I can't find the complete listing of error codes[code]...
My curse seems to be SendInput... I have tried many sites and code variations and it never works right... it always returns an error. So can someone just whip together a quick class that has 3 public methods, one for keyboard (that takes a Keys data type) one for mouse, and one for Hardware?
View 7 RepliesThis assignment works for me TryCast(Me.NamingContainer, LDHello).ToggleChartConfigurationSections = AddressOf LD_SayHello whereas Dim objLDHello As LDHello = TryCast(Me.NamingContainer, LDHello) AddHandler objLDHello.LoveAndLoveOnly, AddressOf LDSayHello fails with an error message like LoveAndLoveOnly is not an event of Universal.LDHello. Visual Studio intellisense is able to pickup the event whereas the background vbc and build compiler are failing. When I need to stack multiple subscribers to the event I need to use AddHandler right?

View 1 RepliesI have a simple unit test which tests that a validation function picks up a specific validation issue. The validation item returns a simple object with Item & Message properties. I've written a unit test for this function but this always fails even though I know the function works as expected.

'Can't get this test to work even though validation works!

I've implemented IComparable on ValidationItem (I have a separate unit test which confirms this works). Am I Using CollectionAssert correctly?

View 2 RepliesEnviro: 2007 Exchange Server, 2 Intranet servers (1 deploy, 1 dev) running .NET 2.0 app - all within same network / behind firewall. I am working on a legacy app by our previous web guy, when our sysadmin upgraded to exchange 2007 and put it on a new server all of the mail functions in old app broke. Had to upgrade to .NET 2.0 (from 1.x) and nothing worked untill I tried new SMTP code in a local function in the codebehind of a page of the app instead of calling a class, as follows:
Function SendNow(ByVal strFrom As String, ByVal strTo As String, ByVal strSubject As String, ByVal strBody As String) As Object
Dim msg As New MailMessage()
Dim smtp As SmtpClient
[code]....
So the above works fine, in that file. The problem is that the app was designed to call a class that resides on the dev server. When I move this same code into the class on the dev server I get transport errors. I think this has to do with the fact that we're using integrated authentication with impersonation=true and it seems to get dropped due to the class being on a different server (even though it's behind our firewall).
I could either try moving the classes to the production server or somehow keep the authentication in the class working through the hops. Either way I need to keep the class because it's referenced all over the place (in more than just this app). I am not that savvy in .NET and I cannot figure out where the setting is within the app that defines where the class is imported from. It just seems to be available no matter where the app is deployed. (Working files are on same server as classes, then publish the app to production server).
I am writing some code in VB.Net under .NET 2.0 which interfaces with MS Exchange 2003.Because of the Exchange 2003 "requirement" I am forced to write this code using WEBDAV.The code itself is replicating, to some degree,a schedule management process.It's creating Appointments on the Exchange Server in response to inputs from the user and managing it's data internally in a SQL Server database.The problem situation is this: A new person is assigned to be in charge of a meeting. The requirement says the program should generate a meeting cancellation request to the person removed from the meeting (if such a person existed) and a meeting request sent to the new person.In the case of there being an existing person, what appears to happen is this:
The meeting cancellation request
gets sent Exchange barfs and returns status code 500 (internal server error) during the set of requests which send the meeting request to the new person.However! While debugging this particular scenario, it works just fine for me, if I step through the code in the Visual Studio debugger. Left to it's own devices, it fails every time.Just for yuk's sake, I added a Thread.Sleep(500) to the part after sending the cancellation request, and Exchange doesn't barf anymore...
So, my question! If adding a Thread.Sleep to the code causes this error to go away, a race condition is implied, no? But, my code is running under a web application and is a totally single threaded process, from start to finish. The web requests I am sending are all in synchronous mode so this shouldn't be a problem. [code]....
...but a lot of the implementation details are hidden here, as I wrote a set of classes to interface with Exchange WebDAV.

I'm writting a "Console Application" using Visual Basic (VB.net) 2008 Express Edition in a Windows XP SP3 environment, and I'm trying to get SendInput to work.
I have been able to get SendKeys working, and I'll use it if I must, but there are some unpleasant control issues. Plus, it's incompatible with Vista, from everything I've heard.
So, I'm including two attachments. The first is a quick-and-dirty working example of SendMessage (actually SendMessageString) which I've used to half-way convince myself that I know how to use the "user32.dll" API's. (For simplicity, I've stripped out all of the error-testing logic.)
The second bit of code is my unsuccessful attempt to get SendInput to send some test keystrokes to Notepad. (I've heard some people say it can't be done in VB.net. Are they right?) To get a clean compile, I had to comment out 'CopyMemory' because how to get it to work. Is it essential to the code?

View 1 RepliesI tried this code with windows7 and xp,with 3 different pcs and both with .net4 and .net3.5 and it doesn't work. Basically I want to press the left mouse button. Searching the net I've found that the only decent solution is to use sendinput function, two times (one for click and one for release) the function always returns 0 with an error code "operation completed", but the the click doesn't happen...

is there something wrong with this? its not sending the key
Dim inputEvents As New USER32.INPUT
inputEvents.ki.wVk = Convert.ToInt16(key)
inputEvents.ki.wScan = 0
inputEvents.ki.time = 0
inputEvents.ki.dwExtraInfo = IntPtr.Zero

I'm using sendinput to send keystrokes to external applications launched from my main application. However , the only way I have been able to get it to work is by focusing the external application then sending input. I want to know how to use sendinput to send keys to a background process without giving it focus.
View 1 RepliesI am using SendInput to send some keyboard commands to a dialog box. It is already the active foreground window when I call SendInput. I first send "Return" and then a bunch of other stuff. The dialog box opens with a button selected by default, and when manually selecting Enter, the button is clicked on the dialog progresses to the next screen, but my SendInput call doesn't advance the dialog.

I asked a similiar question in the VB6 forums with some methods I was trying there, but this is a different method that I'm trying in .Net that I cannot get to work. First what I'm trying to do, I play a game that allows attended macroing, so I'm trying to write a program that I can record and playback macros in. I already have the recording down, and I can playback my macros using older API Keybd_Event and Mouse_event, but not in the game. The game recognize all the mouse events, but does not recognize all the keyboard events. (It is a DirectX based game by the way). For example if I record they keystrokes h e l l o and have notepad in focus and play it back it will type hello in notepad, but in the game they keys are not recognized.

Iam wanting touse sendinput in a dos or background type app (can be a regular app thats hidden) that emulates mouse clicks and sends mouse moves to another multimouse application. an project that im working on for my school i work at and i need to send the input to it. The overview of the project is i need to have this code be in a service that runs in the background that when a person does a gesture with my kinect code then it clicks the left mouse or sythesis it with sendinput (need mouse up and down sent for this to work). The end programs that receive input are: a program written in the multipoint sdk and mouse mischief. I though about using the default usb mouse driver as an emulated mouse driver to handle the part about creating a usb mouse device that works
since most newer computers are using usb.
I have a VB program that I'm trying to deploy. On my machine (the app works fine straight from VS), when I try to install it from the webpage, it asks me to setup .net. I only have a choice of repairing or uninstalling .net. I've tried both but both fail at the moment. The problem with the repair is, although it goes through the entire repair procedure, it then asks me to restart my PC, but when I hit 'restart', nothing happens. So I restart manually, but when I try again, I just have to go through the same procedure again.
