View 9 RepliesI'm trying to develop macros for games. I'm currently coding with vb 2010 and I'm using the keybd_event API. It works great, I've done many working macros but I cannot find a way to send arrow strokes using this API. (Left, Right, Up, Down) I don't want to use the numpad. Here is what I've found: [Code] For some reason, nothing happens, no keystroke seems to have been sent. When I use any other ascii decimal from the ascii table, it does work but not for the arrow strokes.
View 2 Repliesso I've begun developing another little rpg like game w/ visual studio 2010. I'm trying to have the arrow keys control a little square in the form but I've searched all over the internet and haven't found too much useful info. So first thing's first, how can i make a key perform an action, and then, if you know how, what code do i use to make it move the square on the form.
View 3 RepliesI am using the following code to change the direction of my snake in a game:
[Code]....
I have set it up so that if the direction is set as east and the left key is pressed not to change the direction to west so the snake doesn't eat itself. This works however if the direction is east and I quickly press down then left the snake doesn't have time to move down and just moves to the left causing the snake to eat itself.
So I found this little morpg. The game is fun but really repetitive. I would like to simplify some of the tasks in the game. I do not know how to start this project. How can I recored arrow keys and then tell the computer to enter the arrow keys? One of the objectives in the game is to run around a farm 2x and scare away any wolfs. So the commands would be "arrow key up" for 30sec and then "arrow key right" for 4 sec and repeat. I have worked with robots in real life for some time. We would fill arrays with such instructions. One of the most fun things to program! But I have no idea how to do this in VB.
View 12 RepliesI have a problem detecting whether one of the arrow keys is pressed, all the other keys seem to be detected apart from the arrow keys??? I have set key preview to True........ It detects the arrrow keys BUT ONLY if I have NO other controls on the form??? example..

It works, but then if I add a button for example, it stops.

I got a panel that i am adding labels to. I have autoscroll enabled on it so when they fill the viewable space it scrolls. but i need to put the labels to the left unviewable space(when left scroll is already at 0) The label is placed but i dont get the scroll bars and i cant force it to scroll to a - value.
Is this even possible? Same thing with UP.
Or is the Scroll only limited to Bottom and Right?

View 2 RepliesI want to change the "a" and "d" to key controls left and right perspectively. and I am having some trouble wiht the key up event. KeyChar works for KeyDown (after I forced it to) but not for KeyUp (even though they share the same things). I finally figured out how to get the picturebox to change its picture, but now I am stuck at this part. getting an animation in, and when im done moving, get the animation back to the idle picture. im also having a little bit of trouble with movement. pictre - as a split second of movement and (space) as a split second of not moving, when i begin moving, lets say it goes this way (there is a space right after the first -, so that was a split second that it stopped and then started continuously started moving again). how can i make it so it goes nice and fluid once you start moving? also, if i were to press any single key while holding A or D down, it either stops and i have to press the key again to move it move or, it goes in the other direction(if I hit a then d, or d then a). and in the key up event, id like it so when the a (or d) key is up, it goes back to the stand animation, and when moving, it goes to the moving animation.

View 3 RepliesSo in winforms, every dropdown combobox has this little arrow thingy to the right that tells the user it's a dropdown, kinda like this:Now how do I figure out how wide that is in pixels? Reason is, I'm using ControlDrawToBitmap, this doesn't draw the text properly for the combo boxes, and I can redraw the contents, I just whack some of the arrows (which are drawn properly).
View 2 RepliesThe feature I'm trying to implement allows the user to press the down-arrow key and "tab" through different features on the form. Is there a way to use the keyPressEventArgs or something similar to catch that? Is it necessary to delve into hooks and processes? And if so, does anyone know a good resource for a beginner?

I am practically a beginner at Visual Basic, and programming in general. I have created a simple falling bricks game in Visual Studio 2010. Every 100 milliseconds, it scrolls down bricks and if the player's position hits a brick, the player loses. I am having trouble with input.
I do not know how to make the computer accept left/right arrow keys as input, without having to wait for an input every 100 milliseconds. Here is the code:
Imports System.Threading
Module Module1
Dim RandomN As New Random

If I put "Input()" somewhere in the Animate sub, the program will invariably go wrong. How can I make it work?
The form is a dialog, with KeyPreview = True and AcceptButton = (none)Handling Me.KeyDown, and Me.KeyPress do not trigger when I press either the Up, Down, or Enter buttons. Me.KeyUp will fire on up and down, but not enter.I put a breakpoint on the procedure declaration and the first line of the procedure (the Me.KeyPress and Me.KeyDown event handler procedures), and they never fire.
