I have created my own virtural keyboard for a touch screen interface. I used two forms,one for the main program and one for my keyboard so the keyboard will have opacity of 90%.in my main program form's login screen, i have two textboxs, one for username one for password. the password is a textbox with UseSystemPasswordChar property set to True.I used the technique descripted here: How to: Simulate Mouse and Keyboard Events in Code to send a keycode to different form window.
1. get window handler using FindWindow()
2. set main program form as focused window by SetForgoundWindow()
3. then sendkeys.send(keycodes)
it worked perfectly when i try to input letters to the username by the virtual keyboard, but it not really working for the password textbox.Strange when i set the password textbox 's UseSystemPasswordChar to False again it worked. if i put my virtual keyboard as one of the controls of my main program form it also works but i then don't have the opacity property for my keyboard. of course, in this case the Findwindow() and setforgroundwindow() is not needed.
I am implementing a system where the user can Reset their password if they have forgotten it.Once it is reset I want to give them the option of changing the password so that it will be something more memorable to them.The password is hashed and if i enter in the correct old password and new password the password does change.If I enter in the wrong old password and new password the password doesnt change.Is there a way to match the old password with the old password field in code behind so I can throw up an error to the user to tell them what is wrong?

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to use GetKey while you are currently navigating through a WebBrowser? Say I have just clicked something in the wb, and I press the right arrow key on the keyboard. How could I use the KeyPress/KeyDown event of the right arrow key to perform a click on a button on the form? I have tried setting the KeyPress/KeyDown on the wb, but to no success.

My code requires the webbrowser to be up so I can sendkeys something onto a website form. For some reason, changing the attribute doesn't work with this website. When I'm doing other task, such as web browsing or something else, the following code works occassionally.

I am working on a registration form and it requires to put in password that's atleast 6 characters long but shouldn't be more than 15. And contains atleast one number.
How do I write code to check if the user have met the requirements or not?
I'm trying to create a password change form for my company's vendors. There are a couple of scenarios I could encounter doing this:
1 - User enters invalid current password
2 - New passwords do not match
3 - User's account is locked
4 - User cannot authenticate because password is expired
It's case 4 that I'm struggling with, because their is no way for me to take the password the user entered and verify it against active directory without getting an error.
I have a textbox that acts as a password field. It is supposed to contain a value at least 8 characters long and not greater than 12 characters in length. I need to construct an if statement that checks to see if there is at least 1 numeric character in the string and at least one letter in the string.

I am writing a program which allows me to log in to my favorite forum, and displays me my fav. threads, and automatically refreshes current thread every 30 seconds or so.For this, I first need to login to the forum page. Fortunately, the forum allows to login during posting a new message, and it's a public forum so browsing threads is possible without login. Therefore I can directly jump to the "edit article" page without login, fill in login information and write the post, and then send it altogether. Here is an example link for that:

I guess it doesn't set the value attribute, at least during debugging the 'outerHTML' property stays like this:

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.

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).

I am trying to create a Macro for another program.I want to periodically send keys to the program, the keys are F1-F4.The program I am sending it to has different names from time to time.

I was hoping you would be able to help me out. I want to automate a process on a website, through my program.I want to do sendkeys to a web browser component, and also be able to focus on links and click them.Here is what I want:the browser is by default on page 1.there are a bunch of links on page 1, but i want the program to automatically click the link with inner html that says "Link 3". Next, i want the program to wait for the next page to load, then find another link. Finally, I want the program to focus in on a textbox, type some data, then click a submit button, which takes the browser back to page 1. I want this process to keep looping over and over again. Can anybody help me with the functions involved in waiting for a page to load then finding a link based on its html?
View 3 RepliesI'm not sure how to make it work, anything with sendkeys have errors in it.
View 6 RepliesVB 2008 Express. I write a program designed for interacting with an Android phone that is hooked up to a Windows machine. One of the tools in my program is a utility designed to assist the user root their phone. Now in order to root it goes through a command line utility called adb which lets you access a terminal on the phone. It must then type commands in that terminal. Most processes that this program does can be done through a batch file, however rooting the phone isn't one of them. The reason being once it actually logs in to the phone's shell, it stops running commands because it just gets stuck on that line, waiting for it to finish.
So despite being a little primitive I designed that part of my application to use sendkeys. So the way it should work is:
1) It launches powershell as an administrator
2) Types the following commands (I have abbreviated the number of commands it types for the sake of this board. There's actually about 20 lines total):
SendKeys.SendWait("mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system{ENTER}")
SendKeys.SendWait("cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su{ENTER}")
SendKeys.SendWait("chmod 4755 /system/bin/su{ENTER}")
SendKeys.SendWait("flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img{ENTER}")
Now it seems that for 90% of users, this works perfectly fine. However for a small group of people, this is what actually gets typed in to the powershell window:
> /system/bin/su{ENTER}
_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img{ENTER}
For the people that have this happen to them, it's always the exact same thing. It's like it completely skips all letters until it gets to a special character. I have no clue what could be causing this. The only thing I have found was that sendkeys wasn't totally supported but that running it as administrator would fix that, which is why I now have it run as admin. But that didn't work. I also had some success by using powershell instead of cmd, but it's still failing for a small number of people.
Every other part of the program works perfect except for this. I haven't found any common element between the people that it is failing on. They aren't running the same anti-virus or the same programs. I program and debug on Windows 7 64 bit, yet someone else can run it on the same OS and it won't type it out properly. Is there something better that I could be using instead of sendkeys?
