In visual basic how can I make the user's cursor not visible and the keyboard input not "enabled"?
View 1 RepliesI am kind of amazed that there is no answer to this anywhere and I mean anywhere. I am looking for a way to disable the keyboard (actually all input) on a computer. There are several threads about it but no one has ever posted any serious, working code. I know someone is going to inevitably ask "why would you want to do that"? Actually why I want to do it is immaterial but if you must know... I am playing with a "USB Keylock". When this USB Keylock is not present in the computer I want to disable the keyboard. When it is present I want to enable the keyboard.
View 8 RepliesHow can I disable the windows button on the keyboard while my application is focused?
I'm having an endless problem with users accidentally pressing the windows key on the keyboard which causes the application to lose focus. They are capturing data, so when they finally realize that while they were typing nothing happened. They have to find the place where they lost focus and redo everything from there. This is very time consuming and as we are paying our data capturers by the hour this turns out to be an expensive flaw in the application.
I have seen that there are many "Mouse & Keyboard Macros/Recorders" out there & I was wondering how they are being created in visual basic. I have looked within the Microsoft forums, but havent really seen any specific coding that works for the kind of recorder that I'm trying to create.

i would like to write a function that when i click a button, the monitor will go in to standby mode, and then when i press the keyboard, it will wake up, but i do not the mouse wake up my monitor, how can i prevent my mouse wake up my monitor or how can i disable the mouse move?
View 2 RepliesFinishing off my control, but I now found a nasty problem. When the user holds the 'Ctrl' key and scrolls the mouse scrollwheel, the control is scaled. I do not want that, since it would make the Font size fail.
I previously made it reset the scale on Control up, but that is just not a very elegant way:
Me.ZoomFactor = 1 I do not want the text scaled at any time, not even while the user is scrolling and it resets afterwards. I got to overriding the 'ProcessCmdKey' but no idea how to catch a scroll or zoom event.
Any way of disabling the RichTextBox scaling (or zooming) so it does not even occur? I have a control that inherits from the RichTextBox.
I'm using VS 2008 under Windows 7. When I hover the mouse over a variable in debug mode, the value will fade in slowly. Sometimes it is annoyingly slow, I just want the value to show up, no animation or fading. Or is this fading feature a Windows thing and not a VS thing?

View 3 RepliesTo start off with, I will say that I have tried ENDLESS attempts to surpress/capture/stop the actual sleep keystroke.
The code cannot require administrator privilege's. .
I tried:
Private Overrides Sub ProcessCmdKey, and Return true when the sleep key is pressed - did not disable sleep key LowLevelKeyboard - One that can disable the windows logo key - did not disable sleep key And many other keyhandling events, etc.
The code cannot create registry keys because that requires admin privilege's.
I have a WebBrowserControl on my main form and it auto navigates and all that just fine! What I would like to do is not allow the user to click anywhere within the WebBrowserControl while the program is running. Reason for this is that the browser self-navigates to a view of cameras and this shows scrollbars. My program then takes screenshots of specific coordinates on the screen so I do not want the user to use the scrollbars or highlight or do ANYTHING to the page once the program starts. I would like to change the cursor icon to like a red X or something similar to indicate no user functionality.
View 2 RepliesI am creating a DIY calculator.The one in W7, I can't hardly see. Mine is much simpler and larger.I currently have buttons for numeric 0 - 9, Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide, Clear, Enter, and Decimal Point.There is a label at the top with displays results.If I use my mouse to select the buttons, then everything works okay. However, if I use the keyboard, I get strange results.I thought it may have been my old keyboard so I changed it.No difference.If it's not in the hardware, then it's in the code.The section below is what I have for keyboard use:
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
Ch = e.KeyChar
Select Case Ch[code]....
For each of these, there is a corresponding Button_Click even farther down in the code. Since the mouse click on the buttons on the form works properly, the problem must be above. I can't see it.

I am a newbie to this forum. I searched across a lot to find a way in VB.net how to capture the keyboard and mouse events scoping to the whole computer. Basically what I want to do is make a keyboard and mouse macro recorder application, so that the regular job of starting the same programs again and again everyday might be automated.
