Ok so I've been searching the forums for the past hour (I used the search feature) and have had no luck coming across what I wanted to do.
I have a application that I'm going to launch remotely on 12 LAN computers at one time, but to activate the application, I need to press "r' on the keyboard. What code would I need so that I can run a .exe file through the command console that targets the process CapWiz.exe that is open and then mimics a keystroke on the keyboard "r".[code]....
The script should detect which key is pressed from the keyboard, including F keys; the script should start and when the user presses F2 should print something like "you pressed F2", when the user presses "A" should print "you pressed A", and so on
I'm trying to make a picturebox move left by 5 pixels when i press the left key. I am completely lost right now to be honest, and I've been trying to figure this out for the last 4 hours. I haven't done VB in two years, so feel free to crucify me on my mistakes, I learn better that way.[code]One thing I am wondering, is if I have to hardcode the picture box into my form?
I was a professional software designer using VB6. Now that I've converted to VB2005 years later, use, with pages of unrelated information. With VB6 I could use Left$, Mid$, etc to parse keyboard input into a string. For example in the KeyPress event of a name box I could use
Case "A" To "Z" CFName$ = Left$(CFNameBox.Text, CFNameBox.SelStart) + Key$ + Mid$(CFNameBox.Text, CFNameBox.SelStart + CFNameBox.SelLength + 1)
When converting a program from VB6 to VB2005 the software changed the line to
When writing another program I used the VB.Left(), etc, but it gives me an error. So, the question is, what is the correct way to capture keyboard input from text boxes and construct strings?
I used to program in BASIC, and am trying to learn VB now. What I am trying to do at the moment is take a keystroke on the numeric keypad (1-9 only) and pass it into my program to control what happens to a number as follows:[code]I can't seem to find anything in VB that allows simple keyboard entry in this manner.
I amtrying to send ALT + 1 Key to the active application but the problem i am having is when i use SendKeys.SendWait("%1") the program ignores the alt key and jsut enters the 1. is there a way i can get this done?
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 plan on viewing the game through a webview control, which I believe is perfectly possible... unless I can't see Flash/Java content? I've been wondering how would you "simulate a click" in the web view control? And, of course, keyboard input?
I want to make an app which on loading sits in the system tray and even after I open another program (say notepad or vlc or anything) i.e. even when the app is not in focus and if I press "G" on my keyboard, the tray icon should show a tool tip - "key G is pressed". I have tried several codes but nothing works when the app goes out of focus. I can use Register Hot Key [url] but it needs a modifier also (like Ctrl or Alt etc. along with my key G). So, is there any way I can achieve this? something which many tray icons do like antivirus apps, etc. and I do not want to use AutoHotkey application.
I'm using a barcode reader which emulates a keyboard with swedish layout. I'm using RegisterRawInputDevices to create a lowlevel hook, catching windows messages and checking which device that sent the keyboard input. If it's the barcodereader, I would like to store the input. I receive the key input one by one in this class - how do I translate this into a string? If the character to be sent is an #, then the keys sent are Shift+3.
I am having a hell of a time trying to md5 hash this with PHP... The VB code I am trying to port to PHP uses ComputeHash which takes in a byte[] and performs a hash on the whole array.
Public Shared Function HashBytesMD5(ByVal strInput As String) As Guid Dim oHasher As Cryptography.MD5 = Cryptography.MD5.Create() Dim oEncoder As New System.Text.UTF8Encoding()
I am building a website to capture data. I have many spreadsheets that are used for data entry or capture. Now I want to mimic these complex spreadsheets on the web forms but I am unsure of the correct control to use.
Data entry must be allowed and live calculations also need to be made similar to formulas on normal excel spreadsheets. Later on the data must be captured into an SQL table.
What would be the best control to use or method to mimic that functionality, albeit that the spreadsheet component is no longer available in visual studio 2010. Is it a data grid?
there are two ways windows standby the computer by itself, close the lid and if the computer is not being used for XX minutes. however, there is a difference, when i open the lid the computer goes out of standby automatically but only if it was caused by closing the lid, but the other does not. so how do i use the lid-standby in VB? [code] and the device in manager "ACPI Lid" has no wake up options, like i have with some keyboards and mice.. so what is the difference, and how do i cause the computer to wake when i open the lid after the standby is initiated?
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 with VB?I have a listview that I want to mimic the functionaly of Windows Explorer.I have populated the list view with files from a folder.I want to be able to rename one or more of these files just like the Windows Explorer does.I have a right mouse context menu that has rename Then I want to creat a textbox over the position of the file , then type the new name into the textbox, then hit enter , then textbox dissapears and the files gets a new name.
causes an overflow. It is my understanding that in C it "wraps". Assuming that is true, is there a way to mimic this in VB? I need this for an implementation of UInt128 I am trying to write.
Trying to mimic the way the IPhone flips the album art to the songs list. I want to pass in two generic objects and have the storyboard flip them. I can get the slide effect, but have not figured out how to scale the object so it appears to be rotating and not just sliding.

I am trying to log the contents of an object to a text file. I can get the property-value pairs I want to log by executing this line in the immediate window[code]...
I am attempting to create a ASP .Net (VB.Net) custom control for an auto-complete drop down that uses jQuery auto-complete.The basic flow is the consumer of the control will set some properties (such as the data source) which will then be injected as javascript to initialize the autocomplete.There are a lot of pieces involved so i may have missed posting some of the code, please comment if you think something is missing and i will add it.the consumer's code behind (PreInit event):
myDropDown.DataCallback = "testFunc";
the DataCallback property in the control:
Public Property DataCallback As String
the options object creation and javascript injection in the control code behind (PreRender event):
Dim _serializer As New JavaScriptSerializer() Dim optionsObject As New Dictionary(Of String, Object) optionsObject.Add("source", DataCallback)
[code]....
when i debug into the initialize function, i see options has one property, source, with the string "testFunc" as it's value. what i need is for source's value to be testFunc (not as a string) so it can be executed as a callback in autocomplete instead of autocomplete thinking it is a URL.
So I implemented my own form of Enum static classes so I can associate strings to enumeration values. One of the shared functions in each enum class, GetValue, is used to quickly look up the string value from an internal array via the offset. While all of the enum classes implement the same exact function, the data types of their parameters differ, specific to the enums in each class.
So I come to a point where I want to create a generic class that can use any of the enums by passing it as a generic type parameter. But I cannot find a way to constrain type T in such a way to be able to call each enum's GetValue function. This is where an interface would come in handy, but VB.NET forbids interfaces for shared methods.
I have a base class that I could constrain to, but the base class doesn't implement the GetValue method, and I can't define a generic version of it, because I need to rely on shared properties of each child class in order for GetValue to do its thing.[code]..
I'm trying to mimic some functionality in the program below: [URL] *scroll down. it's the "Big Free Clock" link* Developer has made it stretch the font depending on size of form, and also allows user to increase/decrease font with context menu. I have not been able to replicate this using only the Font properties. How is this being done, and how can I achieve the same functionality?
I have an owner-drawn control where performance is an issue during quick repaints such as object drags, resizing and painting the selector square. i have noticed that several other apps, including Picasa, will temporarily draw a reduced-quality image during fast repaint scenarios and then update the image with a higher-quality version when the UI "settles down."
How should I (can I?) produce a lower-quality image to paint when many quick redraws are taking place? Are there other strategies similar to this i can employ to increase performance (or fake increased performance.) [code]...
I have to create an image that is to mimic a single clock rotating hand within a square area,and the user has to choose the width and speed of the rotation and the direction.i managed to create the square area with a hand inside,with this codes and variables,
(Dim Mygraphics As graphics = e.graphics mygrqaphics.Draw Rectangle(pens.color x1,x2,y1,y2)
mygraphics draw line(pens.color,x1,x2,y1,y2),now i have to find codes and variables to rotate the hand or line within a square area.one point remaining constant the other moving.
I have created a virtual keyboard like the "Windows onscreen keyboard". So, I have used the method sendkeys.But if I click on the button, it doesn't write nothing.
I think I have a problem with the FOCUS.As you can see, the "Windows onscreen keyboard" is always on top.This doesn't happen to my form. How can I do?
oke On-Screen keyboard through my VB code. I am using windows 7 and below code to open the keyboard. Everytime when i run this code i am getting error "Could not start On-Screen keyboard".e to fix this error?
Dim proces As New Process proces.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False proces.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
I need some help with the input validation of my application. Attached is the code that I have written as well as a screenshot of the front end. I specifically need input validation to verify that the user selected input for cbLengthOfStay is a number between 1-10 as well as input validation to verify the user input for txtMedication, txtSurgicalCharges, txtLabFees and txtRehabilitation is a positive numerical number. Please feel free to critique my attached code. [Code]
If my Category and Forum selection is incorrect I am sorry and feel free to move it. I'd like to have the users input in the message box that will show. For example: There is a textbox and the user puts in their name as Bob. Then the message box would be: What my main goal is, is being able to include the users input they type inside the textbox inside the message box.
I have a problem with the code, I have input the valid username and password in the form textbox to input the strings in php, but it keep displaying the messagebox that says login failed.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click MessageBox.Show("Please enter your username") ElseIf Textbox2.Text = Nothing Then MessageBox.Show("Please enter your password") Else
[CODE]...
I don't really know why it keep displaying the messagebox that says it failed when I have input the valid strings in the first place.
