1) Why the pause button and also the pause command does not exist in VB 2010 Express?
2) I have some solutions under 2010. In 2 or 3, while debugging, I can change instructions without restarting the application. In others, I cannot change anything (Is like readonly), Looking in 'My Applications', Tab 'Debug', Option 'Configuration' I can choose several Options. In the applications I can debug, the default is 'Active (Debug)'; in the others is 'Active (Release)'. If I change the options, the word 'Active' remains attached to the original option.
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.
View 3 RepliesI have an app that I'm debugging and I need to pause it by clicking on a "pause" button in the development environment. I don't want to stop it programmatically, just manually to check what it is doing. I know this should be simple but I can't find a pause button anywhere on the toolbar.
View 4 RepliesPrivate Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
CheckBox1.Checked = True
While CheckBox1.Checked = True
SendKeys("{END}")
End While
End Sub
That is the code, the error is "SendKeys is a type and cannot be used as an expression."
I want to insert a pause between the display of one control (a button) and the display of another control (a label) on a windows form. Specifically, I want the form to load with the button (and other controls) displayed, then, after a pause of two seconds, the label to display. I have tried timers, and .Sleep() but the effect is not what I want. That is, there is a pause before all of the controls are displayed, and all (including the label) are displayed at one time. I want most of the controls (all except the label) to display normally, then, after a two second pause, I want the label to display (on the same form).

View 1 RepliesI am new to stackoverflow and the programming world. I have a basic program i'm making that will play a song in the background.
I already have that part working, it auto starts a launch of program.
However, I would like to have a button that pauses, then resumes the audio.
(I am trying to avoid making it a media player and using the media player control) Song was add as a resource.
My.Computer.Audio.Stop (works to stop it.)
But how can I implement the pause,resume? by adding a boolean or something?
(I would like pause and resume feature to be within the same button)

View 2 RepliesOkay so I have a webbrowser that navigates to 1 page and I want it to wait 5 seconds and go to the next page, then I want it to wait 5 seconds and go to the next page I want it to navigate to and so on... I tried thread.sleep but I don't want to have the form stop completely in case someone wants to minimize the form. I thought about using a timer to tell it how long it wants to stop and go.

View 16 RepliesI'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).
View 1 RepliesI have a little project but ive come to an error. What it does: It goes to a site, fills a form and then submits it. But the submit is too fast. I want it to fill in info, then wait 3 seconds and then submit it.
Here is the
WebBrowser1.Document.All("user[screen_name]").SetAttribute("value", TextBox4.Text & intcount)
For Each element As HtmlElement In WebBrowser1.Document.All
If element.GetAttribute("className") = "submit button promotional" Then
element.InvokeMember("click")
End If
Next
I want it to have a little pause of 3 seconds after the intcount).

After the 7th line I need a pause until a submit button pops up on the screen. The submit button is hidden until the getelementbyid.focus is run. I cant use webbrowser_documentcompleted because the submit only unhides itself, and I cant use Sleep() because that just stalls the whole block.

View 2 RepliesI have a VB.Net 2.0 application, on my form I am using a Component ONE PDF reader control.I am trying to send to this control a F4 keystoke to close the navigation panel when it opens the PDF file. It is not working or not accepting the sendkey.I put focus on the control first. Code below:

My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("{F4}", True)
I have tried different variations of the Sendkeys with no success.
I am trying to make a start and pause button (and hence continue) to start, pause, and continue my program. The start button works but the pause button does not. Can someone look at my code and see what the pause button needs to do to pause the program? I am using VB 2005. Here is my code.

View 1 RepliesCurrently I'm using System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) to let my app pause/sleep for some time. This works great but I can't open my app anymore when it's sleeping and it uses about 25% of my CPU. I guess there must be a better way to do this. I also tried using a timer but that didn't work out to well for me..

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to figure out how to pause a process. It seems I need to use 2 different APIs: SuspendThread and OpenThread.I found some C# code at this link that was working for them.After I translated the code to VB, I get nothing when I run the code. I debugged the app and put a watch on the function.The following is what I got from the watch: Name 'SelectedItems' is not declared.[code]In order to work with the selected process, I'm parsing the Process ID. I then use that PID to get that process and then work with it.I sue this type of code often in my project and it works just fine, which is why I am confused that I'm getting that message from the watch.
