Copy Text To An External Program, Click Somewhere On The Screen, Then Save A Screenshot?
Oct 16, 2011I picked vb.net for this question since it's the only prgramming language I am fairly familair with, but if C++ or something else is more suited for this, I am willing to learn something new.What I am trying to do is:Retrieve text from database (this already works in vb.net) and copy it to clipboard Switch primary screen to the external application I want to work with (example: word or open office) Emulate key-press "Enter" Paste text and hit enter again Emulate key-press CTRL and then emulate a click on a pre-defined spot on the screen (like 500pixels from left, 740pixels from top). Save screenshot, using a second value from the database as the filename (the naming part should be easy) Emulate another click on another pre-defined spot Repeat for next text in database.I wouldn't know where to start, though. I guess the most important part of what I'm trying to achieve is; switching focus to an external application and emulate keypresses and mouse clicks on it.
View 1 RepliesVS 2010 Path For External Application?
May 3, 2011I guess this one is pretty basic, yet i have not been able to figure out.So here's the deal, my application uses an external exe to generate some txt files that the application needs for a use case. Since hard coding the path of such exe would be hideously wrong in so many aspects i would like to include a little configuration option for the user, so he can specify the path of the external exe for the application to be used.I also would like to have something like that for the path of the Database I'm actually using.
View 2 RepliesVS 2010 - Setting Position Of External Application?
Sep 7, 2010I'm trying to set hotkeys for all my favorite websites. When one of these hotkeys are pressed, I want it to load the assigned website in internet explorer, but I want internet explorer to load on my SECONDARY monitor. I've already set out the hotkeys to load internet explorer, but it loads on the wrong screen. How to check if an instance of IE is already running. To be a bit more specific: the secondary monitor is set to the LEFT of the primary one. And the resolution is at 1440 x 900. So basically, I want to programmatically set IE's position to (-1440, 0) from within my application itself.

View 2 RepliesVS 2010 Override Icon - Executes An External Application - Via Shell()
May 19, 2012I have a VB application that executes an external application, via Shell().
What I want is to be able to have control over the "shortcut properties", if you will (such as icon & title), resulting in the external app being forced to use that specified icon and title for its spot in the taskbar while it is running.
A normal desktop shortcut does this easily (by editing its properties) but I don't know if it's possible to take advantage of that.

View 14 RepliesMemory Leak In .NET Screenshot Application?
Oct 6, 2009screenshot application I am developing that has a memory leak somewhere. The main code is as follows:
Public
Class Form1
Dim strPath As String = "C:windows empscreenshot.jpg"
Private Sub Main()
[code].....
The application runs from the system tray and a clickevent handler for the notifyicon control calls the Main() sub. The code calls OutlookEmail() which creates a new outlook mail object. The problem is that each time the notifyicon in the system tray is clicked the memory in use jumps up incrementally - about 3mb each time.

IE With External Application?
Oct 3, 2009I have a quick, yet simple (i think?) question. How can i use the address bar to send commands to a external application?
Example:
AOL Instant Messenger I havent used this application in a long time. But i remembered if you wanted to add a friend to AIM from their online profile it directed them to a link such as:
aim:addfriend=contactID and AIM would pick this up and add it the contactID to the application. The link i posted is more than likely not the correct link they use but it shows what im trying to accomplish.
Im looking to achieve something along the lines of: myApplication:command=commandValue

View 3 RepliesCopy From An External Application?
Mar 17, 2009I have looked all over for an answer to this question and have failed to find one. I have two applications. App1: I have no control over anything in this application aside from standard user inteface options. (Enter text, apply, ok) Someone else has created this program and I have no direct access to the database or any code. I can not make any changes to this application.App2: This is the application that I am currently creating. All changes will need to be made here.I currently have a program set up to copy information from App2 to App1. A user clicks a button in App2 and then goes to App1 and hits F8. App2 is waiting to get F8 and when it does it proceeds to use a series of sendkeys to enter the information from App2 into App1.Question 1: Is there a better way to get info from App2 into App1?I am trying to "smarten" my program up a bit. I would like it to read fields from App1 and compare them to certain variables and then do an action. I have tried to use sendkeys to copy from App1. This sometimes works, and other times the clipboard says object not collected it is not a valid format. So this method is obviously not reliable enough for me.Question 2: How do I copy data from a text box in App1? Sendkeys seems to not work. Again, keep in mind that I don't know textbox names in App1 so as far as I know, I can't do anything like textbox1.copy.
