VS 2008 GetAsyncKeyState With Hotkeys?
Aug 24, 2010
If CheckBox_StartHotkey.Checked = True Then
If Not ComboBox_StartHotkey.Text = Nothing Then
Dim StartHotKey As Boolean
StartHotKey = GetAsyncKeyState(ComboBox_StartHotkey.Text)
If StartHotKey = True Then
StartActions()
[Code]...
I am trying to input the function key that a user has selected from a ComboBox (containing the function keys F1~F12 as options) into the GetAsyncKeyState(). However, since the ComboBox_StartHotkey.Text is a string, it cannot be converted into Long data type needed for the GetAsyncKeyState() function. I have tried Conversion and Parse Methods but what I try doesn't seem to work. Anyone know how to effectively convert a String (such as F6) into a Long data type for using in the GetAsyncKeyState() function in this case?
I used the tried to use the ItemData property to hold the Key Code representing the Function Key.

For sample. I do a 2 start button. Start and stop but I use hotkey to automatic start (my program will automatic press Tab and 1). When I press F9 will start and F10 to stop but when I'm in my program but my problem. When I click in notepad then I press F9 it won't work?
Here the code I used:
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = System.Windows.Forms.Keys.F10 Then
StartButton.PerformClick()

Ive been trying to work with looping code and get messeges like this.
[Code]...
But that is not important this moment... How would I set a code too use the progress bar? So As it loops at a certain rate {Lets say 1000 (1 sec)} It would show the progress. Currently using it to 1 - 50. (Note: The rate is not important as I know how to set that) EDITEDITEDIT: Thanks for the info so far, But regarding my other thread about hotkeys that I marked "Resolved"

My Intent:I am developing an application for myself which will take a series of keycodes pressed by me(even if my program is not in focus) and execute commands associated with it.It is basically like developing hotkeys.What I Have Tried:I have searched well and tried to implement GetasyncKeyState() in my program and it works well....but the problem is, it tells if a certain key is pressed but not which key was pressed last, which is what I want........I need to know which key was pressed so that I can make a word out of it and check if it equals my predefined names to execute the command, something like this:
Dim word = lastkey
word = word + lastkey
if (word = "startnotepad")

I have a really annoying problem. I use GetAsyncKeyState() to determine if a key was pressed or not.Unfortunately, that event fires as long as I hold down a key. Is there any way to check if a Key was released?

This code worked fine in WinForms under .NET 3.5, but since I've started using WPF and .NET 4.0, it no longer works (although I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not). The purpose of this is to detect if a mouse button (or multiple mouse buttons) is being pressed outside of the application.[code]...

im trying to make a program that only listens to a few keys that the user presses, and if one of them is pressed, it carries out a specified command.for example, right now,i found a keylogger that could carry out my command, but id rather use something else if possible. right now, i have a timer running this:
For i = 1 To 255
result = 0
result = GetAsyncKeyState(i)[code]....
Then, in the textbox1_textchanged, i search for like if textbox1.text.contains("M") or something.problem with this, is im pretty sure its a keylogger, and i dont want to have to have that. also, it does not work in vista.
Found a solution! (should have researched more throughly!)
Option Strict On
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices[code].....

I seem to have a bit of a problem with the ICShartEditor text editor. It works fine for me in a Windows Forms app, except that if I have a button (or any other control) on the same form that defines a hotkey (like ALT-S for a Save button), then whenever I try to type 'S' in the text editor (or whatever the hotkey might be), then it triggers the hotkey rather than adding the character to the text.What appears to be happening under the hood is that all the ProcessMnemonic() methods for all controls of the form run, so those methods kick in and handle the keypress, which I would think should only happen if a key like the ALT-key is pressed.

how I would make hotkeys e.g "ctrl + 1" to do an action even when the application ism't the active window.
for example I am working on photoshop and then i press ctrl + 1 and my app appears in front of it.
or if I press "ctrl+2" a new window will open.
I need this to also work when the application is hidden and in the system tray as well as when application is visible

I have been trying over the past few days to make a program sit open on the computer, waiting for a key press (which will be the hotkey). When the key is pressed, it will execute a peice of code and minimize itself. Im really sorry if this is too simple but im stumped over this one. I have searched google alot but no luck
So: I need to know how I can have the program 'monitoring' or 'looking for' a certain key press while it is doing something to tell it to stop, bearing in mind when the program actually starts it will minimise and stay minimised untill this hotkey is pressed that makes it maximise itself and stop the program.
