This is my first post of your forum, and I'm very excited to see what there is to learn in here :-) But first i have a problem with auto program for a java chat. I want it to select the window by it self, and send the keys of a textbox, this is what i got so far:
[Code]...
Some strings in my program may contatin +'s in them. With SendKeys.Send its sending the string minus the +s.
In most basic form:
SendKeys.Send("+")
That won't work either...
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.

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!
I am trying to send keys to a control on my form. But I am getting a NullReferenceException and I don't know why. The code is about as basic as it gets: [Code] The error reported is object reference not set to an instance of an object but Send is a shared method so doesn't need an instance. Strangely if I ignore the error it works fine and F4 is passed to the control. I know there was an issue with sendkeys and UAC but I thought this had been solved (I am using 4.0 framework).
View 1 RepliesI'm making an auto-typer and I need it to only send one line of a multi-lined textbox at a time. It looks like this right now;
If Label1.Text = "1" Then
SendKeys.Send(TextBox2.Text)
SendKeys.Send("{Enter}")
Thread.Sleep(TextBox13.Text)
Timer2.Enabled = False
End If
I want the Textbox2.text to be entered one line at a time and then to sleep for the desired time.
I have an issue regarding Sendkeys Class, as i want to use this class in order to send some keystroke to the active application. As a first step i want to test the {Enter} keystroke, so in order to achieve that i made a simple application in vb.net 2010
Public Class Form1
Public Shared data As String
Private Sub SendintText(command As String)

By the way in order to use double quotes in a parameter you need "test"...(i have spent 15 min to find out) so it might be usefull...
How can I have a time out between every key I send ?

I don't want to use the sleep method, or to put each code under a timer ... Anything else that I could use?
i tried to code sendkeys.send(textbox1.text)but what it did was just pressing down the letter.i wanted to write Shift in textbox and press a button and it will press shift and not S-h-i-f-t

I am trying to send some keys to a program that I launched, but every time i send the keys focus is not on the program and the keys are sent to the wrong program. Is there a better way to send keys to a program or a way to set focus on a certain program?

I cannot find any solutions so far using the MSDN search, so I'll just ask the question here. I am trying to make a "bot" so to speak for a game that I play so that I can automate movements and macros. I've never used Sendkeys method yet until today so I am very unfamiliar except for the articles I have seen on the MSDN.
Basically, the game I play I can manually set macro keys like spacebar to perform task. What I want to do is have my application automate this process on a timed basis. Like, every 2 seconds send the key of spacebar to the other application (MapleStory.exe).

im pretty new to Visual basic, but im trying to make a auto pinger for i can keep seeing if server's are lagging or if its me, so I'm wondering how would i go about making SendKeys.Send send to command prompt:

I'm using the function sendkeys.send(). I'm using it in a cell of a grid because everytime I write a letter, I deactivate an activate the control, and when this happens the whole text is selected, and I want the cursor to be placed at the end of the text. In order to to this, I use: SendKeys.Send("{end}") It usually works fine, but when I'm pressing the shift key to write capital letters, it doesn't work. I've tried to send other keys with that function while pressing the shift key. If i use
SendKeys.Send("a")
I get an A, like when I use
SendKeys.Send("A")
Should I disable the keyboard input before using the sendkeys instruction, and how should I do it?
On Windows 7 (UAC set to off), the Sendkeys.Send() runs as fast as windows XP when putting strings into Notepad (for example).
View 7 RepliesOkay so this is my code.
Code:
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Static nVal1 As Boolean
[Code]...
The problem is whenever it sends the text to another forum using the hotkey it works fine, But if the GrpTxt1 text contains the hotkey name it spams it it because the key is sending over and over again because it contains "A" the hotkey in the text.
here is the code
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
SendKeys.Send(TextBox1.Text)
SendKeys.Send("( )")

As you may see it is a "flooder", and i am just playing around with the program, evrything worked, until i did want to try it on msn, and i have to use the "enter" or "return" button. to send the text.insted of "pressing" the enter button and send it, it just writes the number 43? it is this line that i have problems with "SendKeys.Send(Keys.Enter)"
I have developed a VB.NET (VS2005) application that performs a dependency check of VBA code to see where a selected procedure was called from. I want to add the facility to launch an application and to load the selected procedure into it's edit window. I can launch the application and, using sendkeys, I can open the application window, and the final thing is to use SendKeys to insert the function name. Now, here is the problem. Where the finction name contains parentheses, they get stripped out by SendKeys. For example where a function name is of the form "Scriptxyz(1)", then sendkeys sends the value "Scriptxyz1" to the application. I have the script name defined as a string and am using SendKeys(strName). How can I stop SendKeys from stripping out the parentheses?

View 10 RepliesI'm attempting to send characters to an inactive window for another application by using the Windows API function SendMessageA from a simple VB application, but it isn't working. When I run the code below, everything seems to be working as intended right up to the point where the API call is made. But the other app (Notepad, for testing purposes) doesn't appear to receive the characters.I receive a strange result value back from the API call that might suggest some kind of error, but I have no idea what it means.
One of the inputs to my little app is a handle value for the window that I am sending to, and I have verfied using two different apps that the handle value I am supplying is correct. I suspect that the problem may be that VB isn't treating my handle value (a long) as a "true" handle for use in the API call, but I don't know for sure if that is the problem or how to correct it if so.
P.S. - I edited this post to improve the formatting. During the interim I had made some changes to my code in an attempt to improve the results, but so far still no joy.

I have been trying to make a IM spammer (Yes, before you flame this is not a 4 item spammer with a start/stop and 1 timer and 1 text box.) I have been testing methods to "expand" the term "IM Spammer" when people mention VB with it. While I have doing many small things (Just some simple add-ons etc. etc.) thats not important. I have been trying to go back to basics and edit some "SendKeys.Send" code. currently I have been useing the basic...

So in my program I have a database where I send info such as passwords, is there any way to (in an easy way) encrypt the password before sending it so instead of sending "mypassword" to the database I send a random collection of letters and numbers like "shH3n2ja"? I only need two functions, encryptPassword, decryptPassword.
