VS 2010 Best Way Of Cloning Keyboard And Mouse Messages?
Jun 15, 2011
I'm currently trying to write a program that will clone input from one program and broadcast it to 4 other windows (Mouse and keyboard, with the exception of the enter key). This is for a World of Warcraft and it is legal. I thought that I would use setWindowsHookEx, but I can't figure out how to set it up that it only takes the input from one window and not globally.Can anyone recommend the best way of cloning keyboard and mouse messages ? or give me an example of how to set a windows hook for only one program ?
Away back in the days of "dBase 3+" and "Clipper" we had a useful command called "COPY STRUCTURE" for copying the structure of a database table without copying the data. Does VB.NET have a similar capability for cloning a DataGridView and for cloning a DataSet?
I'm developing a program where I've had to add a keyboard shortcuts system. The problem is it uses a third party OCX for a part of its display, and it is catching some essential WM_KEYDOWN messages when in focus, like Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc. I've tried catching the WM_KEYDOWN message through WndProc, but the message is not propagating, so I guess the keyboard messages go from the inner container to the outer one, don't they?
The WM_KEYUP messages can be caught tho, but I'd prefer to be able to catch some of those messages on the KeyDown event. I'm aware I could make some low-level hook, but I'd like to avoid this workaround. Well, if the WM_KEYDOWN message goes from the OCX to its top level container, I guess I'll have to treat those key combinations in the KeyUp event.
I am looking to create a VB.NET application. when the application is opened it will disable the keyboard and mouse so if you hit any keys it does nothing and you can not move the mouse. (even if currently selected window is not that of application).
I am creating a DIY calculator.The one in W7, I can't hardly see. Mine is much simpler and larger.I currently have buttons for numeric 0 - 9, Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide, Clear, Enter, and Decimal Point.There is a label at the top with displays results.If I use my mouse to select the buttons, then everything works okay. However, if I use the keyboard, I get strange results.I thought it may have been my old keyboard so I changed it.No difference.If it's not in the hardware, then it's in the code.The section below is what I have for keyboard use:
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress Ch = e.KeyChar Select Case Ch[code]....
For each of these, there is a corresponding Button_Click even farther down in the code. Since the mouse click on the buttons on the form works properly, the problem must be above. I can't see it.
I am using vb.net framework 3.5. I want to lock input devices like keyboard and mouse from my application. Is their is anyway using sendkeys or any method to lock?
I am a newbie to this forum. I searched across a lot to find a way in VB.net how to capture the keyboard and mouse events scoping to the whole computer. Basically what I want to do is make a keyboard and mouse macro recorder application, so that the regular job of starting the same programs again and again everyday might be automated.
I can't get the GetAscKeyState Function to respond to keystrokes. It works for mouse clicks just fine. Could it be an issue with my computer? I haven't seen anyone else with this problem.
I want to write a Visual Basic script for excel, which will take values from the cell and then put them in the specified fields in a 3d party application using global mouse positioning commands (smthing like ... SetMouseXY(X,Y,MouseButton); Keysdown(Ctrl+V); ...).
I am kind of amazed that there is no answer to this anywhere and I mean anywhere. I am looking for a way to disable the keyboard (actually all input) on a computer. There are several threads about it but no one has ever posted any serious, working code. I know someone is going to inevitably ask "why would you want to do that"? Actually why I want to do it is immaterial but if you must know... I am playing with a "USB Keylock". When this USB Keylock is not present in the computer I want to disable the keyboard. When it is present I want to enable the keyboard.
These work perfectly in the Windows/Desktop, but when I tried to use these in Games, the input from the program didn't seem to register, or rather registered in the background on the Desktop.
I am trying to create a program that using the mouse to press keyboard keys...i mean e.g when u click the wheel button to press the "1" key of the keyboard.
I am writing a program to record and playback all the keyboard and mouse events using the journalrecord and journalplayback methods. The code also stores this recorded event in the file and opens the file for playing. The mouse movements are playing fine but none of the mouse clicks or keyboard keypresses are playing fine. Attaching the record and playback hook procedure.
Private Function RecordHookProc( _ ByVal nCode As Integer, ByVal wParam As IntPtr, _ ByVal lParam As IntPtr) As Integer 'Stop recording at "BREAK" key press [Code] .....
Win32 is a class file which I have used for declaration of constants and importing DLL files. readFs and writeFs are the Filestreams
I have done some reasearch on disabling the mouse and keyboard both on Google and on the forum and what ever i find can not get to work. What I'm trying to do is on a click of a button it will disable the mouse and keyboard. It must work in W
I have seen that there are many "Mouse & Keyboard Macros/Recorders" out there & I was wondering how they are being created in visual basic. I have looked within the Microsoft forums, but havent really seen any specific coding that works for the kind of recorder that I'm trying to create.
Why is it that this VB.Net code only works for detecting flash disks? [code] What would be the possible way to detect the insertion and removal of other USB Peripherals such as mouse and keyboard?
I created a menu in sharpdevelop 3.20 and by pressing button is started bat file located on mapped network drive
Sub Button1Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Process.Start("Q:INTRALINK_config_prod.bat")' TODO: Implement Button1Click' TODO: Implement Button1Click End Sub
but when I press on that button security warning information appears - is there any way to automatically accept RUN from Vbasic code without pressing by mouse / keyboard ?
how to do enter key from keyboard to do the same function when the user clicks a button from the mouse...For example, istead of clicking the button with mouse click, i would like to make enter key from keyboard to do that function for shortcut purposes..Its like when login form button..
The GetAsyncKeyState Api does'nt recognizes the mouse wheel rotation, I see.Is there way to control the mouse wheel rotation (always, not only when the pointer is over a form of mine) with a simple API, without to Hook the mouse?
I'm currently debugging a form that sets a flag when the mouse button is pressed, then clears the flag when the mouse button is released. As long as the mouse button is pressed, the user can move the mouse around and a few things happen depending on where they move. One of the things that happens is that a timer starts, or stops, and a few things change color depending on the mouse position. The timer starts when it should, then stops when it should, but once stopped, it is not re-starting when it should. I can verify that MouseMove events are getting through, because coloring changes as I move the mouse, as it should. This would be a simple thing to debug...except that it requires the darn mouse button to be down, and it uses the mouse move event. Anybody who has put a breakpoint in a mouse move event handler knows the issue: There are THOUSANDS of them. Worse yet, since the mouse button is necessary for switching to the IDE, as well as setting a breakpoint (technically, a keyboard shortcut could do this if I could shift focus), I can't wait for the problem to happen, then switch to the IDE and set a breakpoint to see what is happening then.Does anybody have any tips or techniques for debugging in mouse move events when the mouse button is down and has to stay that way? As it is, I'm going to have to write some funky code into the method just so that I have a place to get a breakpoint when I need it without breaking on every one of the mouse move events.
