Due to use postmessage tow times, I want add a delay (50) between tow postmessage(), and my timer interval is 1000.
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
If CheckBox10.CheckState = CheckState.Checked Then
st = Int(Val(TextBox17.Text) * 10)
[code]....
and I konw Thread.Sleep(50) is not good, but how to use timer stop here.
First of all, is it even remotely possible to have PostMessage or SendMessage "press keys" inside of a Fullscreen game? I.e. use the Chat? (Requires the user to activate the chat box, type in the message, then send it, which is all done with the keyboard)
I've tried many different ways using WM_KEYDOWN and WM_CHAR, and nothing worked.
[Code]...
I am trying to get it to activate the user's chat by pressing enter, type in the text, then press enter again. Except, I would like for the game to be minimized and allow this to work. Or, if while the game was running in fullscreen, that I was able to use SendMessage or PostMessage to type text into a Command Prompt Window.
I know that time delays have been covered before around almost everywhere. however a method that forgoes forcing the GUI to become temporarily non-responsive, is all but a myth, or at least to my findings. i have the need for a GUI program to delay before the next command, however using the current method, detailed following, it causes the desired effect however it dose make it much less polished as when you click anything else on the GUI it goes un-responsive for the directed time. [Code] make a sub called say Tdelay( milseconds as integer) and have it run a loop as many times as the milseconds variable indicates and each time making the thread delay for 1 milsecond and then update the GUI/form in some way, then re-loop.

In my program I have a tab control with 4 tab pages. In the second tab page there is a lot of controls (about 50! includes buttons, labels, combo boxes, textboxes, option boxes). When user opens the program and want to navigate to tabpage 2 there is about 2-3 second delay showing tabpage. This problem only occur the first time, after that it just shows the page fine. I am not sure what is causing this lag but the program seems buggy and slow to user.

View 4 Repliesto some server via an UdpClient. However, I need to make sure that all commands send are separated by a 1 second delay. If there is no delay, two commands send within this 1 second timespan will not be received both; only the first or the second command will get through.he commands are sent in a background thread at the moment, because it might take some time before the command is sent. I keep looping until the command has been sent, like this:

Public Sub Send(command As String)

I am currently in the process of writing a demonstrative program that will generate a string of 9 random numbers in a textbox. Now my basic knowledge of VB 2010 allows me to do this but my goal is to delay the generation of this number sequence until the my progress bar has progressed to the end. How can I insert a delay after my button activates my progress bar/timer without stopping all function and usability of the program all together. The basic wait function seems to lock everything up for the allotted time and then the number instantly generates and the progress bar begins.
View 8 RepliesI am currently creating a program to send keystokes to a program at certain intervals. I need the thread to delay between keystrokes, and i need to be able to have the user input the amount of delay from the GUI via textbox. I have it running perfect with Thread.Sleep(), but it just isn't consistent enough. How can I code it to be accurate to roughly 5ms up or down? thanks, and here is the code. This is in VB 2010 by the way.

View 3 RepliesI have an Vb.net application made by a third party , that I need to control using outside resources from a simulated environment and must not interact with the desktop. To simulate inputs that a user would normally input from a special screen with specific keys around it, I've built a test control library to control it and send the form image to a .bmp. The form cannot be visible and showed in taskbar , the bmp output will be displayed by the simulated environment.Using PostMessage and sendKeys work well as long as I don't but ShowInTaskbar = False for the main form. After many read & testing, I have learned enough to try what seems to be the only thing that would work. I've created a form that I setparent using HWND_MESSAGE parameter, this should create a Message-Only Windows, that are supposed to received postMessage, and subclass it's events.msdn.
I can't seem to get it to work, and I was hoping someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong.I have been testing several different ways found through out the web about .net , and short of going into message thread peek and feed(maybe(may be)my last hope), they all seem to work until I take the forms out of the taskbar.[code]
Although there are already a few resources online that address this rough topic, I still haven't found an answer that works for me.I desire to have full communication between my VB.net process and my C++ process. I would like to be able to send a string to and from the C++ process, but for the time being I need to achieve:
Sending a string to the C++ process, and handling it.This creates a few points that I am uncertain on, but I'll try to keep this as simple as possible...using the following function declaration in VB;[code]....
And finally, I used the IPC example here to send the message. This example sends the message using C#, but the concept was all I needed (not to mention that it's a walk in the park to convert such code to VB). Note that in my VB implementation, I didn't need to terminate the string with a null character.
I am launching an external that brings up a window that is split into two frames. I am able to get the handle of the frame and what I want to do is click inside the frame in a certain area.
For example, if I open "System Information" by launching msinfo32.exe, how would I click on Internet Settings in the left window pane? I don't need the exact coordinates, just an explanation of how it can be done using SendMessage or PostMessage.
I've tried things like:
PostMessage(sideWnd, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 200, 1200)
PostMessage(sideWnd, WM_LBUTTONUP, 200, 1200)
I wasn't sure if the end two numbers would be coordinates, but if they are, I've tried different numbers and can't seem to get it to click anything other than the first item in the list of the left window frame.
We have a form that is saved to the system tray and can be viewed in one of two ways.One view is like a rectangle and the other view is more of a square. In either case, there is a MaximumSize set on the form. We would like to use WindowState to toggle between the two by allowing the user to click the Maximize / Restore icons in the title bar.The problem is that when the user clicks the Maximize icon, the form jumps to the upper left corner of the screen. This is logical, since a maximized form should be anchored to the upper left. But in our case, the MaximumSize property prevents it from fully maximizing. The actual size is around 800 by 400. If they then click the Restore icon for the second view, it jumps back down to the original location.

I guess it must have something to do with the last PostMessage() parameter, but I can't figure out how it really works.

My application watches two buttons:
1. F11 => my application minimizes and hides another window (windowHandle is its handle), then sends there WM_RBUTTONDOWN (right mouse button click&hold).
2. F12 => my application unhides and restores that window, then sends WM_RBUTTONUP (right mouse button release).
The problem is when I press F11, and then click somewhere (so windowHandle loses focus), the right mouse button releases automatically, but I want it could be released only after I press F12. Here is part of my
Public Sub Tick()
Dim windowHandle As IntPtr = FindWindow(vbNullString, "App")
