VS 2010 Detecting PrintScreen (PrtScn) Keypress?
May 13, 2011I'm trying to detect the Printscreen keypress with the use of a timer. I can't useform1_keyup/down as the focus isn't always on the form.

View 4 RepliesI am creating an application that creates scripts to move a mouse and to click where a user wishes to via pre-programmed code and to also press keys where required. I have the code to move a mouse and to manually click anywhere. What I am after is to detect when a mouse button is pressed and dragged and when keys are pressed.
I see that there is the following
MouseButtons.ToString
To detect when a mouse button is pressed, and have it looping in a timer. Is there a better way to do this? I would rather not use a timer. And is there a similar routine to detect which keys are pressed?
How do I detect a ctrl+tab keypress?
Reason for asking: I want to stop a user from changing tabs in a tab control.
I want to be able to detect when the user presses F10 or Ctrl+F10 outside of my program, and upon receiving the key press, it will send text to whatever they currently have selected (e.g. a text box). How can this be accomplished in the simplest way?

View 2 RepliesI have two issues. The first is that I want to make a textbox scrolling similar to how credits scroll. I don't want it to move on the form, just to scrolling the text down a line/pixel. I thought I could do it with the "Lines" element, but I'm not exactly sure how to execute it.
The other problem is with my flash screen. Right now I have it set so when a button is click, it goes onto the main form. I don't want to use the button but rather have it so if Enter is pressed at any time, it'll go to the main form. All the solutions I've tried to use involve the "e.Keycode" code, but for some reason its unavailable.
Is there an API or something I can use similar to PrintScreen?
I want to be able to select everything inside of a panel and then print it.

i want to take a printscreen at my application when a msgbox it's in foreground..When the programs get into a catch block, i display a msgbox with the error to the user, and the user must click yes or no to send the info to the database..BUt to send the info to the database i need to take a printscreen to the error message with all info of what the user was doing in my program...
If i use a different thread to show the messagebox i only get the image of the messagebox, if i use the same thread i can't take the picture (if i can i don't know how).So i need some help to take a picture to the messagebox with my program in background and then wait for user response to the messagebox.
I found that code somewhere and I find it quite useful but I would like to find a way to make it work so it capture only the given window target. Maybe with a processID or Window Name. Even if that window is not active. I do not want to make that window active but want to get a screen capture like if I was doing Alt+PrintScreen on it.

I am attempting to send the PrintScreen key, obviously, which ought to work no matter the window it is focused on. How can I make this trigger the printscreen action like it normally would? This is in VB.net. I have googled this, and couldn't find any results that worked.

I'm working on an application of which counts how many keystrokes/clicks. I'm just wondering how I would go about logging such actions. The application will be running in the background within the taskbar and when you click on anything on your computer/type anything or press any key I want it to pick up the event and log and add up, so if i click 10 times it will add 10 onto the total clicks and vicer versa on typing.

I've been searching this for quite a while now, but I've come up with very little so far. I need to figure out how to determine when a laptop lid has been closed so an execute an action when this occurs. But the power settings will be setup to where the laptop does not go into sleep or hibernate mode.
View 5 RepliesI've been attempting to determine if a notebook's lid has been closed when the power setting is set to "Do Nothing."I was able to get this to work by trapping the WM_POWERBROADCAST message, but it would only work when the computer when to sleep. I've tested this on many different notebooks and the results vary. Even when changing the power settings correctly, the results were fairly inconsistent.So I posted this question in General Developer and penegate offered a possible solution.[code] I'm thinking that maybe the message I'm trapping isn't correct, but I'm not 100% sure. When I Google that message, nothing comes up. Two links appear. The one on VBF and some German site. Nothing's on MSDN.
