I was looking for something send keystrokes and I found this helpful routine SendKeys that I can use in a VB Script. I wanted to have "Right Control Key + (Scroll Lock & Scroll Lock)" sent to the machine. Essentially, having the Right Control Key pressed, I need Scroll Lock pressed twice. Here is what I tried:
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys"^({SCROLLLOCK}{SCROLLLOCK})"
First, I launch a website in Internet Explorer from VB.net and automatically login the user with ther username and password. As soon as the username and password fields are automated, I send "enter" to the website so it goes to the next website. This part works perfectly. However, my problem is that i want to send a mouse click event, which i have already written, to click a hyperlink on the next website page. I tried a few different things, none of which worked. My program is automatically logging in the user and doing the mouse click event at the same time. I have tried to use the "sleep" command, but the mouse click event is still not executing after the second webpage loads. I have tried using nesting "If, then" statements and that has not worked either. Does anyone know how to make sure the webpage fully loads before executing a sendkeys routine or a mouse click event? This is my code thus far:
If (Search.ComboBox1.Text = "IWR") Then
BlockInput(True)'this disables the mouse and keyboard
Dim IE As New Object
[code].....
There are no errors, everything is just executing all at once instead of letting the second webpage load and then executing the mouse click event.
I am using sockets to send message between computers. I send the messages alright. What I want is when the message "x0x" comes, the client must be closed within 5 minutes. Teh admin can cancel the request by sending message "-xx" as well. The routine that checks for incoming connections and accepts messages uses WHILE TRUE...END WHILE since it must always listen. Once I get a message, I need to fire a timer control or other that fires within 5 minutes. But the program cant leave the WHILE TRUE at all. If i exit it early, the timer fires and the program does get exit. How do I fire the timer or other routine while still the WHILE TRUE routine checks for incomin connections and messages?
View 5 Repliesis there any way to reference a particular code routine in VB.net external to the current loop/routine?Example:
If Var01 < 5
[Routine A]
Else
[Routine B]
End If
where Routine A and Routine B are code sequences at the end of the entire program -- such as outside of the current sub or class? The idea would be to reference an otherwise repetitive code.
I have a sub routine where I pull in information from a database. I want to use variables from this sub routine in another sub routine. I tried making everything public but it doesn't want to be friendly and share.
Dim strEmail as String
Public Sub readDB()
strEmail = "whatever@doohikcy.com"
[Code]....
The readDB would read the database and set the variables and do whatever it needs to do. Then when they submit the form it would e-mail the form to whatever the email address was.
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.

That is the code, the error is "SendKeys is a type and cannot be used as an expression."
I'm looking for the underlying Win32 API call that the DotNET Framework invokes on a SendKeys.Send or .SendWait call, or a Win32 API Equivalent to SendKeys. I've already experimented with SetKeyboardState which seems like the way to go, except that it does not raise any kind of keyboard event that causes the set keystates to register with an active application or the OS (at least not until another key is pressed; for example I can meddle with the keyboardstate before events process on a natural keystroke, but I can't invoke a keystroke programmatically).
View 1 RepliesI have a VB.Net 2.0 application, on my form I am using a Component ONE PDF reader control.I am trying to send to this control a F4 keystoke to close the navigation panel when it opens the PDF file. It is not working or not accepting the sendkey.I put focus on the control first. Code below:
Me.PDF1.Focus()
Me.PDF1.Select()
My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("{F4}", True)
I have tried different variations of the Sendkeys with no success.
When using Sendkeys with vb.net, is it possible to tell if the target of the Sendkeys has changed between sendings?

and the sub Exceptionquery is not working. I can verify this because it is supposed to create a new table called scratchpad3. what I may be missing in that sub routine that isn't allowing it to work?
I have the following code:
Private Sub Exceptionquery()
Dim connection As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
Dim connectionString As String = "Initial Catalog=mdr;Data Source=xxxxx;uid=xxxxx;password=xxxxx"
[code]....
I get the error Invalid Object name 'Scratchpad3' on this line:
adapter.Fill(ds)
I have tried to debug this and can see that the query is correct, that the values that are being passed to the sql server are correct but it doesnt look like my code is firing off the Exceptionquery Sub. I thought to call a sub all you had to enter was the name of the sub such as this line:
Exceptionquery()
I have also verified that the mapping of the buttonclick event is mapped correctly. I have other subs that I am calling in almost the same way and those work.

I am new to vb.net and am trying to design a routine that will allow the user to search for a record and return the results in a datagrid. Then double click on a row within the datagrid to view a more detailed form. I have been able to build the search form but am having problems with the double click event.I found a sample application on the Microsoft web site which is doing this on a smaller scale. The sample is built on the Northwind sql database and searches the customer table when you double click a row in the datagrid the following Microsoft code runs and opens a detailed form.

View 2 RepliesI have a service that i believe has a memory leak in one particular sub routine but I cannot find out why.The routine writes data to an opc server every second. It receives a command via tcp, connects to the database for verification of signals and writes the data. When it completes it writes a message back. I am disposing of everything i can think of but for some reason when I check it in the morning then memory has increased dramatically and the cpu usage goes up to 50%. this only happens to the service when I start the client application that sends the data so i know it has to be in this routine.
