I have a program that u record your clicks then you press a button (Ctrl + E) then it plays them back. What I want is for Ctrl+E to stop them, It would work but it seems like its being overpowered by the mousemoving and clicking. The keyhook did already work before I started on the playback part.

View 1 RepliesI have several windows open: VB, IE, Explorer... If I happen to close one accidentally, or on purpose, and reopen it, the buttons on the task bar are all messed up. I get used to them one way and I am constantly switching between the windows.Here is my question: Would I be able, in VB, to 'hook' the taskbar and be able to rearrange the buttons?I have no idea what to search for in Google. I happened upon a program once a while back, A REAL LIFE SAVER!. I could just click and drag the buttons using that one.

I'm using code from here - [URL]. And I'm getting the old
A call to PInvoke function 'EliteSwitch!EliteSwitch.MouseHook::CallNextHookEx' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.

url...This example works on a my 32 bit XP machine, but it does not work on my Vista Ultimate 64 bit machine. The example is supposed to hook notepad so that whenever I type a character in notepad, a text box recieves the same character. This works on XP, but on Vista 64, nothing happens.I should probably say that when I first ported the example to Vista, I ran into 2 problems, which I think I correctly fixed.
1. I was getting a BadImageFormatException when the DLL was first trying to be accessed. I fixed this by setting the target platform in the VB project to be x86.
2. I was getting a DllNotFoundExeception, so I placed the "MainHook.dll" file in both:[code]I have a couple of theories, but I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to hooking. Could this be happening because Notepad is a 64 bit application and the hook is written in 32 bit? I have the express version of VC++, so I can't create a dll targetted to 64 bit, so I haven't tried that.
I have a form that is displayed, not by ShowDialog, but by setting its visible property to true. This is so it behaves like a dropdown.The form installs a mouse hook, using SetWindowsHookEx(WH_MOUSE, ...).
I detect if the mouse is clicked outside of the dropdown and if so, return 1 in my HookProc method and close the dropdown.The strange thing is, if I click outside of my drop down on to a textbox, the textbox still receives the mouse click, after my dropdown closes, even though it's been handled by my HookProc method.It gets stranger... If I click on a label or button, they do not receive the mouse click, as expected, after the drop down closes!

Using VB 2010, is it possible to capture all mouse clicks and determine what was clicked?We're trying to develop a small utility that will pop up context based menus to fill in application forms and common strings for terminal sessions.Basically, whenever I middle click I want my app to determine if the window was an occurance of PuTTY. If so, check the titlebar for certain strings and send keystrokes to that window based on the titlebar text.If VB 2010 can't do this, what should I be looking for? Will VB6 apps do the job? Will they work on a Windows 7 PC?

View 1 RepliesI'm using a textbox to define a hotkey, and I need to make the textbox receive key events and prevent the form from receiving them.The reason it's a problem is because Tab (and probably other keys) is a valid key, but the form uses that as a shortcut, so the textbox never receives the keypress.

EDIT: I have also tried it on a Windows XP system now, and it doesn't work there either.
I have a form, that acts like a drop-down, that I display non-modal. I attach a mouse hook to the form to determine when the mouse is clicked out of it, so that I know to close it - by setting Visible = False.
Because I want the HookProc to handle the last click, I can't dispose the Hook or my Dropdown until I'm sure that my event handler has returned to the HookProc.[code]...
I must say personally, the WithEvents system is, shall we say, open to extreme false sense of security, so to speak. I like a lot of automation in my code, and tend to provide ways to do things manually, with a "default" behavior encoded. However, as I have just discovered, the withevents doesn't HOOK the event delegate until after creation. So even when you do New MyObject(), if an event is triggered during the Sub New() process, the delegate hasn't been assigned yet, and thus the event (which in my current situation is extremely important) never triggers. which begs the question the point of the WithEvents other than removing "AddHandler" lines from procedural code. Sure it saves on typing, due to code completion, but if that's it, that isn't much of a benefit. One would think that using the WithEvents would allow me to do:
PUblic Sub New()
MyBase.New()
RaiseEvent MyEvent()
End Sub
Tragically, this does NOT work, which royally screws up my lazy loading techniques and other such tricks that were supposed to make my code simpler to use, and instead has made things 10 times more complex, as I have to specifically alter class initialization sequences to be outside of class instantiation.

I need to write an application that can validate wether or not a proper process was followed based on information that was entered into another .NET appliction. Basically, I need to be able to intercept a mouse click on a button in another application so that instead of submitting the data it triggers my validation code then cancel the action if need be.
We do not have the code to the other application. I have everything I need perform the validation. The only thing I don't know how to do is intercept the mouse click on the button control of the other application. Can some one show me how this is done?
After many searches i end up using this class for global keyboard hooking. Link: Global Hook post [code]My app is performing operations that take some seconds to complete (ftp upload small files on interval), and during this time the hook lovks the keyboard. This i dont want of course..I cant jump to Async FtpWebRequest right now because it needs many changes, so i thought that the solution would be to make the hoook live in another thread.A proposal is to move my time - consuming operations (upload) to another thread.Upon doing this i am facing other problems. Because the time consuming task (upload) is in a timer i would have to rewrite a big portion in order to synchronize the file->save with the file->upload and i dont mind the app locking for 3-4 secs. what i do mind is to loose the kayboard for 3-4 secs.
View 2 Repliesi am trying to make a app that loads a keyboardhook from a module on startup,
but unless i load the keyhook from the form the app just closes immediately.
i uploaded the keyhook module, to test it just start a new project, add the module,
to test it loading from the form just put hookkeyboard in the form load,
but what im tyring to do is have the module load first, so set the start up object to sub main
what this is suppose to do right now is just send a msgbox on every keystroke, it works from the form load but fails when loading from module, unless i am always typing something.
