Simulate Key Being Held Down?
Sep 5, 2011
Well 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)

I know how to send keys using Sendkeys.Send("{RIGHT}") I even know how to use Send keys In a timer, to repeat the key press... But it's just a key press, and it lets the key up. So If I tried to put sendkeys.send("{RIGHT}") under a Timer, then it will press/release the Right Key. I don't want that. I want to HOLD THE KEY DOWN. Here's Some Code, that I know how to do that Simulates a Mouse Click, Left Down, AND Left Up. Mouse Click. Ok...? So here's some example code of how to Send a simulated Mouse Click.
EXTREMELY EASY, BUT EXTREMELY POWERFUL CODE. Simulated Mouse Clicking.

I can't seem to get a single form that is held in a dictionary(of integer, <Form>) to create instances passed 229 times.
For instance i can only open 229 instances of the same form. I open and close the form. So technically i open 229 forms and close 228. Any forms opened afterwards give a win32 exception. I clear the the dictionary key upon form close.
I have changed the dictionary declaration to (of long) but get the same issue.

I have a little problem with my program, Boot Animation Previewer.Firstly, it loads the .zip file and extracts the boot animation in a folder called Temp. If there are existing files in the Temp folder it deletes them. But, once the boot animation is previewed, you can't select another boot animation, until you restart the application, because it gives an error, saying that the program can't delete the images, because the process is using them

I need to run an If Statement that will check a few conditions.
Basically I want to get it to check a value held in a variable "Temperature" and if the value is within "1" eaither way i.e. +-1 of the value held within the variable to then to output a text string to Label200.Text Else if the condition is not met then out put another text string to Label200.Text.
Example:
Say if Temperature value held in the variable Temperature is 8.5 the if statement checks to see if the DewPoint value is "between" +-1 of the temperature value. i.e. 7.5 to 9.5 as well as the value in Humidity is equal to or greater than 90 and Pressure is Less than or Equal to 1013.25 then the conditon is met, else the conditon is not met.
I have put some code together below in NotePad++ to see if what I am trying to do is the correct way to go about it (note I have not yet tried this code in VB.NET as I don't have it at work).
pass comment on the code and if it is wrong explain what I should do to get it to work.
Dim DewPoint as Single
Dim Temperature as Single
Dim Humidity as Single

I am writing a VB.NET application which needs to extract data from an XML document. The Dataset.ReadXML function would be suitable, if the XML document was held in a disk file. However I would prefer the XML document to be passed via a string property of my class object, not as a disk file.
Is there a way to make the ReadXML function take its input from a string instead of a file ? If not, are there other functions which can be made to parse XML which is held as a string.?

My question is: how to stop using the images? I've tried to dispose the form that loads the .zip file, but with no success.

suppose I have variables named A1, A2, A3 ... B1, B2, B3 ... Z97, Z98, Z99. I have a certain operation I want to do using each one in turn. I CAN write a line of code for every single variable, but this will get pretty tedious. I'd prefer it if I can make a function that takes the letter and the number as arguments. So, if it gets the arguments "E" and "10" it will perform the operation on variable E10. What is the syntax for this? say a simple operation such as: result = E10 * 3 Is the syntax any different if I use constants instead of variables?

I have a number of files that are generated in a function defined as:[code]These files are immediately printed and the files are automatically saved to a directory; the files themselves are not for use by the actual software users. I timestamp the files to keep them uniquely identified for auditing purposes.I've now received a requirement to email some of these files externally to the company, and someone has complained that the current filenames are not user-friendly.So, I tried copying the generated file to a temp directory, with a friendlier name, emailing the friendlier file, then deleting it, leaving my audit trail intact, like so: [code]This throws a System.IO.IOException on the line System. IO.File. Delete (friendly FilePath) because the file is still in use, after it has been emailed.I've taken out the email code, which makes the copying and deleting work fine, so it's apparently attaching the file to the email which causes the problem.I've also tried breakpointing before the delete line, waiting five minutes, confirming the email has been sent, then advancing the code, but the same exception is still thrown.

I'm trying to make a database program in VB 2008 and have come across a problem with a query that I'm not sure how to solve. I have a combo box which contains names of teams that are held within the database, when a team name is selected I have 4 queries that will separate players (in that team) by their position, using this information I will then be able to display information about the players in a collection objects so that it can be edited and what not.
My problem is that I need to be able to refer to the records in the query so that I can assign a players details to objects on the form, I've used a piece of code to do so that I used previously to select individual records from a table, however when I click on a team in the combo box it throws up the error: "Could not format node 'ClientQuery' for execution as SQL.". Not being a particularly experienced VB programmer this error doesn't exactly mean too much to me, although I am not exactly sure of another way to tackle the problem.
The code for this query is:
Dim GK(3, 2) As String
Dim c As Integer = 0
For Each Record In GoalkeeperQuery
[CODE]...
All the fields in the query are strings. If this is not enough information I can post the query I used to select the records in the query used above or anything else that's related.

Write a complete Visual Basic program to do the following: Joe's Pizza Palace needs an application to calculate the number of slicesa pizza of any size can be divided into.
The application should do the following:
Allow the user to enter the diameter of the pizza, in inches.
Calculate the number of slices that can be cut from a pizza that size.
Display a message that indicates the number of slices.
To calculate the number of slices that can be cut from the pizza, you must know these facts:
Each slice should have an area of 14.125 inches.
To calculate the number of slices, divide the area of the pizza by 14.125.
The area of the pizza is calculated with the formula: Area = π r2
Note: The π is pi which is equal to 3.14159.The r is the radius of the pizza. Divide the diameter
by 2 to get the radius.
Form:
The application should be done form-based. You may design your own form. It must have the following:
a label indicating that it is Joe's Pizza Palace
a field with label to enter the size (diameter) of the pizza
a field with label to display the number of slices
buttons to calculate the number of slices and to exit the application
Output:
Use the following test data to determine if the application is calculating properly:
Diameter of Pizza Number of Slices
22 inches 27
15 inches 13
12 inches 8
Requirements:
Name the project Pizza.
Be sure to include your name included in a comment

I'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]

How can you simulate keypresses and releases? I know you can essentially hit a key with Sendkeys.SendWait, but how can your code press and hold q, for example? I essentially wish to be able to call something like press("q") and release("q"). The effect would be the same as physically holding them down.
