View 5 RepliesI've been using SendKeys in a program I am making but its really glitchy and does not work properly.
Is there an alternative way to simulate a key press within code?
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.

I 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 4 RepliesI am making this little tool for this online game i play (league of legends some of you might know it) Basically I made a small program which consists of 4 buttons and when you click button it starts timer and beeps once it reaches 0. Thats fine. Problem is I have to go out of game to click the button to start the countdown.My question is.

i want to users to be able to vote for their favourite soft drink. They will input the names of the soft drinks through the use of an inputbox, the names input are stored in an array. what i would like to do is count the votes given to each soft drink. How would this be done, please provide example code if possible.
p.s. i tried using a listbox and failed.Well during the set up of the program they will input the names of all soft drinks up for voting, and then all the soft drinks input wll be displayed in a list when the voting take place.
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]
View 1 RepliesWell 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)

Damned. Is there a managed code somewhere in vb.net where mortals can simulate key presses?
Is there an e-book or book somewhere about it?
