Jun 11, 2011I've been using SendKeys in a program I am making but its really glitchy and does not work properly.

View 6 RepliesSimulate Enter Press To Close Message Box?
Mar 3, 2010I have a password form that contains a load of buttons. The user has to enter a four digit, numeric, password to procede. They do this by pressing one of 10 number buttons on the screen, the keyboard isn't used. If they enter the wrong password an error message pops up (this isn't using the error tool I just added a message box msgbox("Error Code #638492") or something) if the user doesn't enter a password, after 5 seconds (I use a timer called Timer1 with an interval of 5 seconds) the form closes and it goes back to the previous page.
My only problem is when I close the form using Me.close(), the message box is still displayed. And if the message box is still displayed it doesn't work. The form is miminized (I have the application in full screen) so this is very bad. What I need is to simulate the enter key press then close the form so the enter key is pressed, the messagebox close then the password form closes.I can do this using SendKeys.Send("{ENTER}"). Here's the sub I use:
[code]...
However, if I don't have the 'Close()' line of code in the message box closes as it should. If I don't have the message box open and I don't use the SendKeys.Send("{ENTER}") then the close() line works perfectly and close the password form as it should?

View 2 RepliesPress A Key Based On Code Value
Jan 23, 2010Example: When you press "a" you want your program to automatically press again the same char you pressed. You know the e.KeyCode which is 65 for "a" and the command which is SendKeys.[code..]
Simple enough and it works for every character. But if you try it lets say with the Caps Lock button then the value of key is "CAPITAL"which means that the command will execute as follows:
[code..]
Which will obviously send the text "CAPITAL" not the key "Caps Lock".The same thing happens with % (Alt) and Is there another way to press a key without using the SendKeys function?
Don't stay on this:
When you press "a" you want your program to automatically press again the same char you pressed.
Cause that is not what i want to do.

Simulate Holding Down A Key
Feb 3, 2010I'm trying to do here is get VB to hold a key down until I tell it to stop. Perhaps I'm missing something but I don't understand why this isn't working. This code can hold down shift and so on for as long as I want it too but absolutely refuses to hold down what i need it too (any letter key or numpad key)[code]
View 1 RepliesSimulate Key Being Held Down?
Sep 5, 2011Well i've been trying to make something run with a lot less code(and faster) but it seems with SendKeys some things are getting lost(or discarded) by the program, its only the arrow keys as I try & make it complete a pre-defined maze to see how fast it can be completed.
If I use SendKeys("RIGHT 8") for example the maze usually only moves a few times, sometimes maybe only 1.
Also I looked up how to hold a key down/simulate it but it's not working for the arrow keys(untested on other keys).
The only way i've made it work is delays, decently delayed like 200ms & it's a huge maze but if i hold a key manually I can go much faster yet sendkeys method can't go that fast using individual presses this is why I want to simulate a holding down action.
---it must be working xample code I can make it work for my purpose if it works like on button click, etc....but I tried copying full (supposedly working) codes before & they never worked for me/my key, xample cause i've looked & tried hard(with only failing results).
MORE INFO:Also I tried SendKeys.SendWait() which is meant to wait for keystrokes to be processed & that didn't help either so my best guess is the keystrokes are processed but discarded(like a movement delay code that doesn't queue movements but rather ignores extra movements)

View 5 RepliesSimulate A Control Array?
May 28, 2010Moving some VB6 code to .Net
The VB6 codes makes use of an Array of textboxes and lots of the code manipulates the textboxes selecting the target textbox via the index. This is very good because a small amount of code can reference a large number of textboxes simply by changing the index. To do the same in dot net I'd need a load of code for each box or I'd need to create the boxes at runtime.
But.
I was reading somewhere that it's possible to kind of simulate similar behavior by creating a bunch of text boxes at design time with the usual names names like TextBox1, TextBox2 etc and then referring to them in code like this:-
Controls("TextBox" + n)
Is that possible ? What would be the syntax ?

Dec 20, 2010I can think of the following tricks:
Read only wrapper - like ReadOnlyCollection. The friend keeps the pointer to the modifiable object, while everyone else can access only the wrapper.Write delegate - the friend gives the constructor of the object a reference to a delegate as one of the parameters, the constructor fills it with an address to a private method that can be used to modify the object.Reflection - obviously a bad idea. Included for completeness.Multiple assemblies - put your friends together in a separate assembly and set your modifier methods internal.Expose the modifiable object, but add comments to modifier methods "This is an infrastructure method - don't call it!"Nested classes.[code]...
