I'm trying to work out how to detect if the user has pressed an f key I have this so far:

Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress

Detect When A User Presses CTRL -ALT - DEL Or Window + L ?

Dec 2, 2010

I'm trying to find out a way to detect when ever the user presses CTRL -ALT - DEL or Window + L to lock the PC.The code I'm using is

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
If (GetAsyncKeyState(17) AndAlso GetAsyncKeyState(18) AndAlso GetAsyncKeyState(46)) Or ((GetAsyncKeyState(91) Or GetAsyncKeyState(92)) AndAlso GetAsyncKeyState(76)) Then[code]....

However, as soon as the user presses CTRL-ALT-DEL the Windows Security Screen comes up and it is too fast for VB to detect that the keys have been pressed.I did a little reaserch on how to work around this issue and found that a GINA stub can be written which can delay the Windows Security Screen by some time say 2 secs which would be enough for VB to detect that the keys have been pressed.Also disabling Ctrl-Alt-Del through VB does not work because it is too fast for VB and I would like not to disable CTRL-ALT-DEL

GetAsyncKeyState - Make A Program That Only Listens To A Few Keys That The User Presses?

Dec 15, 2009

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!)

Inside a multiline Text Box I want it so that when a user presses Ctrl AND Enter then a new line is entered. But, if they press Enter on it's own, then it acts like the Accept button on the Form. I believe this is how Facebook does it.

[2008] Creating A User Tool For A Game - Simply Shows Information About My Own Character

Feb 23, 2009

I am creating a user tool for a game I am playing (NOT a hacking tool, it simply shows information about my own character). I have a template of what I need to do with the data I recieve, here is the code, it is coded in PHP

function decode_style($r) {

//get gender
$gender_array = array('Male', 'Female', 'Male 2','Female 2','Male 3', 'Female 3');
$style['Gender'] = $gender_array[round($r / hexdec(4000000))];
//GET AURA

[CODE]...

Ok, I understand PHP a bit (As you know one programming language you can understand just about any) and this is what I have created from this

Dim Style As Decimal
Dim Rank, RRank As Decimal
Dim Gender, RGender As Decimal
Dim Aura, RAura As Decimal

[CODE]...

As you can see, it is receiving a single piece of data from a remote SQL server, I then need to run this data through the above calculations (Seen in the PHP file) although the answers I'm getting are incorrect.

Here are some simple instructions I got in what goes on between values:

gender :

aura:

VS 2008 Testing Key Presses In Succession

May 29, 2010

I need to determine if a set of keys have been pressed in succession. For example, if I'm looking for this combination: Up, Up, Left, Space, then any key that inteferes with the order would start it over.

I tried doing a basic test to see if it would be as straight forward as I was hoping:

VB.NET

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Up Then

[Code]....

For some reason, it doesn't let me continue the sequence. I put a MessageBox on the second "Up" and it triggered when I pressed it just once.

For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.

Microsoft Word and my program is running.if I press to 'Activate' button the program starts capturing all keypresses. This makes it impossible to type into Word, or any program for that matter as long as my program is activated.Once my prgram is deactivated I can type in any program normally.

Recored Arrow Keys And Then Tell Computer To Enter Arrow Keys?

May 23, 2010

So I found this little morpg. The game is fun but really repetitive. I would like to simplify some of the tasks in the game. I do not know how to start this project. How can I recored arrow keys and then tell the computer to enter the arrow keys? One of the objectives in the game is to run around a farm 2x and scare away any wolfs. So the commands would be "arrow key up" for 30sec and then "arrow key right" for 4 sec and repeat. I have worked with robots in real life for some time. We would fill arrays with such instructions. One of the most fun things to program! But I have no idea how to do this in VB.
