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?

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 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 created lots of applications with visual basic 2008, tested them on many other computers, worked like a charm. After I moved to 2010, all my applications compiled, ran without a problem even on different machines (worst case scenario was that some older PCs needed the 4.0 framework to be installed first). Anyway suddenly I ran into a very weird problem which I cant figure out.I have Visual C# 2008 (Express Edition) on this machine installed and everything ran/compiled flawlessly but when I tried the application on a different computer, it can't even start. It crashes as soon as you attempt to run it and displays that 'Application Stopped Working' error.
I also tried to compile it as Release, then start the exe .. still the same problem. Sorry again for asking this on a VB forum, I just started playing around with C# after VB and didn't know where to ask.Aditional Info: Visual Basic 2008 and 2010 programs work perfectly on the same machines on which Visual C# 2008 doesn't. (I would be glad if some one could at least re-direct me to somewhere else )

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.now i think it means that it cant find the mysql connecter and data and stuff but the user shouldn't need to have that right? it should come with the app to make it work for everyone

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but the VB Script forum seemed only for inet apps. This is a script that runs when a user logs onto windows to map network drives.The PROBLEM: When a user logs into Windows on our network, this script runs, but sometimes it does not work. There is no MsgBox and the network drives do not map. However once Windows is loaded completely to the desktop, you can run the script and it will map the drives.

I am developing an application that will engage a bar code scanner and will need to be listening for input even when it is not the active application or from a separate thread from within the application. I can get a handle to the hook when I set the project to compile for Net 2.When I set my project to compile for Net 4 I cannot get a handle from the SetWindowsHookEx.Same code, no changes at all.While obviously I can get a working DLL out of this it really is buggin the out of me.Additionally, if one of my colegues needs to adjust this DLL in the future and does not know, they may compile it in Net 4.I also have no idea what will be the effects if I reference this DLL in another project that is compiled in Net 4.Lastly, I am worried that I may encounter more difficulties like this in the future if I cannot figure out what the difference is.[code]
