May 10, 2011i use keybevent . The weird thing is that it works for notepad. I read that the problem is that the game has many forms and when i send the key maybe it is being sent to another form of the game and not to the one i need.

View 2 RepliesSending Accelerator Keys To Another App?
Sep 8, 2009I would like to send accelerator keys to another application that is not currently the active window. As a test case, I am trying to control Notepad. Code I am currently trying to use is posted below. I have been working on this for almost a full day (and night) without success.
When I run the code below, Notepad "beeps" and displays an additional "o" character in the edit control, rather than activating the File->Open dialog as desired. Winspector Spy seems to show that Notepad is receiving the appropriate messages based on comparison to messages that are received when I type the accelerator keys manually. So I ought to be fairly close. What am I missing?

Button - Sending Keys To Webbrowser?
Feb 22, 2012I have a webbrowser in my vb.net application and I would like to enter text into a textbox on a site. When button 1 is clicked, it programmatically finds the text box and types the message in.

Sending Keys From Button To Process?
Feb 6, 2009I have an external exe file that runs like a console aplication (CLI). It is started as a process and is embedded in a Panel on a form. I can type commands directly at its prompt, but I would also like to send it keystrokes from a button.
Here is the code that starts it, embeds it into a Panel, removes its TitleBar, and positions and sizes it to the size of the Panel.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
p.FileName = "C:Program FilesConsole2Console.exe"
proc.StartInfo = p
[Code] .....
I wondered if SendKeys would work, but the documentation says it should be sent to the 'active window', but there I get confused, as my exe is a process, and I do not know if the Panel it is embedded into is the 'window' referred to, or the proc.MainWindowHandle, and I do not know whether it is active or not.

Make A 2 Player Game But Both Players Can't Move At Once Unless They Tap The Keys?
Aug 20, 2009Well I am trying to make a 2 player game but both players can't move at once unless they tap the keys (can't hold the key down or the other person can't move). How would I fix this as well as being able to go diagonally.Would this work?:Declare a bool value for each keypress below the public class thingy. Then use keyup to turn the bool off and keydown makes it go on. Then for the first player and second player I check if they are on and if they are than go to that direction...I think I would need a timer for that part but I dunno...

Forms :: Sending Mouse Clicks And Test To A Window
May 10, 2011I am new to VB.net, i did a course in it about 5 years ago, and could do simple programs, but lost most of my knowledge, because i have not used it in such a long time, now i want to do something and cant seem to get it right, i have this game that i a play online, and i have a few accounts for it, so i would like to make a account logger, wher the usernames and passwords will be saved in a text file, and then i just open the vb program, select the username and the vb program will automatically set focus to the game window (which is windowed, not full screen).
Problem is just, the game client has 4 buttons, New Account, Play Game, About and Credits, i want to get a way for the VB program to set focus to the program(bring it to front, and then move the mouse to the coordinates of the play game button, goto coordinates of the username text box, click and write the username, same for password and then move to login button coordinates and click logon, wait a sec or two and move to either character 1, 2, 3's login button and click)

VS 2008 : Getting Keys To Associate With Buttons?
Oct 29, 2009I'm doing a school project in VB 2008 and I'm trying to get the buttons on the form to activate when you hit a given key. Like if I hit the "1" key, either on the numberpad or the keyboard, the "1" button would activate. I've tried the KeyDown method without sucess, but that might just be my code...The teacher suggested I use a txtbox instead of a lable for a display and then just disable all but number keys (which I can do, but that creates other problems with the input). I just want to be able to hit a given key, and have it correspond to a specific button. [And I can't use the ampersand hotkey thing... it underlines the txt in the button and makes it look ugly and it doesn't work with special characters]
