Now as you can see it is sending the textbox1 text and then pressing enter then sending textbox2 text! Theres quite a few problems in that but before i discuss note: This code is in a Timer. Problem #1: It does not send the keys fully correct all the time because its trying to send them all at once! So i want it to send them 1 letter after the other with 200 ms sleep in them! Problem #2: The sleep is not working: The reason i know is because even after it did the first textbox1 text it didnt wait that 2000 ms!
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 got a textbox and a richtextbox... When i click the Send button.. the text from theTextbox go to the richtextbox and a new line (Enter)....So i got thatRichTextBox1.Text += TextBox1.Text & ("{Enter}")It work... but it say your text and ("{Enter}") .... it doesn't do a new line...
im pretty new to Visual basic, but im trying to make a auto pinger for i can keep seeing if server's are lagging or if its me, so I'm wondering how would i go about making SendKeys.Send send to command prompt:
I am trying to send keys to a control on my form. But I am getting a NullReferenceException and I don't know why. The code is about as basic as it gets: [Code] The error reported is object reference not set to an instance of an object but Send is a shared method so doesn't need an instance. Strangely if I ignore the error it works fine and F4 is passed to the control. I know there was an issue with sendkeys and UAC but I thought this had been solved (I am using 4.0 framework).
I am trying to use VB 2005 SendKeys.send to fill in fields in a pdf form in a browser (at an online website).The code below works correctly sending keys to Notepad or WordPad, but when I use it to send keysto pages in IE7 or Firefox or even ActiveState Komodo editor I get more than one character and the numberof repeats is variable. For example, if I send "ABC" to a Google page I get AAAAAABBBBC.I have the same problem if I send "^v" to paste from the clipboard - I get multiple pastes.I set my keyboard repeat function to a long delay which did not affect the results.
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 have a few ideas on how to do it but it's not working when I put it to code.I tried to make the program sleep and have a loop to send the f1-f4 keys and click on the program I want the macro in. However that does not work.
I am trying to use the send keys function to send text to another program.I ahve gotten it al working well, except for using () as I know sendkeys doesnt like these.I have tried using the Replace function in several places in my code to replace the ( with {(} and {+0} etc, with various other options tried.But when I run the program, it seems to skip this out completly and leaves them in the string as (, and therefore it errors and wont run.When I step through it, it goes through the function but doesnt alter the strng as it should. This is the code to send the string and my attempt at making it replace the () in the module
Module TextReplacement Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal vKey As Int32) As Short Dim counter As Integer Dim sData() As String

The error I get when i try send "Test :)" is: ArgumentExcveption was unhandled "SendKeys string 'Test :)' is not valid"
I am working on bit more advanced calculator, but I cant figure out how I can make my program to calculate textbox1.text and show the answer in textbox2
For example: (textbox1) 5*62+4 (textbox2)314
I'm not sure this question belong in this topic, but I don't know where else it should be?
i tried to code sendkeys.send(textbox1.text)but what it did was just pressing down the letter.i wanted to write Shift in textbox and press a button and it will press shift and not S-h-i-f-t
I have been trying to make a IM spammer (Yes, before you flame this is not a 4 item spammer with a start/stop and 1 timer and 1 text box.) I have been testing methods to "expand" the term "IM Spammer" when people mention VB with it. While I have doing many small things (Just some simple add-ons etc. etc.) thats not important. I have been trying to go back to basics and edit some "SendKeys.Send" code. currently I have been useing the basic...
So, I have a list of about 20 things I want to see if the text contains.Reason: The program verifies username/pw via a MySQL(Not MSSQL) database on the web. I am looking for common characters that could be used to SQL Inject.So, instead of doing a,if textbox1.text.contains = "+" or textbox1.text.contains = "-" or...etc.anyway someone can provide a short source code of how i can just put it so like..
Dim NotePadProcess As Process = New Process() NotePadProcess .StartInfo.FileName = "notepad" NotePadProcess .StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal

I am trying to send some keys to a program that I launched, but every time i send the keys focus is not on the program and the keys are sent to the wrong program. Is there a better way to send keys to a program or a way to set focus on a certain program?
I cannot find any solutions so far using the MSDN search, so I'll just ask the question here. I am trying to make a "bot" so to speak for a game that I play so that I can automate movements and macros. I've never used Sendkeys method yet until today so I am very unfamiliar except for the articles I have seen on the MSDN.
Basically, the game I play I can manually set macro keys like spacebar to perform task. What I want to do is have my application automate this process on a timed basis. Like, every 2 seconds send the key of spacebar to the other application (MapleStory.exe).
This is my first post of your forum, and I'm very excited to see what there is to learn in here :-) But first i have a problem with auto program for a java chat. I want it to select the window by it self, and send the keys of a textbox, this is what i got so far:
I'm using the function sendkeys.send(). I'm using it in a cell of a grid because everytime I write a letter, I deactivate an activate the control, and when this happens the whole text is selected, and I want the cursor to be placed at the end of the text. In order to to this, I use: SendKeys.Send("{end}") It usually works fine, but when I'm pressing the shift key to write capital letters, it doesn't work. I've tried to send other keys with that function while pressing the shift key. If i use
SendKeys.Send("a") I get an A, like when I use SendKeys.Send("A")
Should I disable the keyboard input before using the sendkeys instruction, and how should I do it?
I have a webbrowser1 control that navigates via Textbox1.text (W/multiplelines) and set on a Timer1 (every .25 seconds).My issue is that I need to navigate to at least 1200-1500 urls before Timer1.stop (), but my webbrowser1 seems to only make it to 200-500 max, before I get an error saying that my program is "Not Responding" and freezes.
