Enter Text Into 3rd Party Window App?
Dec 14, 2011
ok I've read tons and coded tons and I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong.. I have to assume its because there are 900 ways to do sendmessage with the windows API and I'm just not doing the correct one..
I made an an app that runs up and shows me its window handles.. my other app can find the one textbox and return the handle.. now I just have no clue how to send the message correct to make my string pop up. Do I need just the handle ? or do I need to get the handle of the text property using the getdlgitem ??
Dim ParenthWnd As Long
Dim hWnd As New Long
Dim texthWnd As Long

Excuse me for posting this, but I have searched both Google along with this forum before asking this question, maybe I'm not using the right keywords but I apologize if it's easy to find.I would like to know how one could close a third-party window (application) if a specified string was found in the window title.

I'm using a third party dll for my project and one of the function that is provided by the dll use form handle as one of the argument. But when i call the function, I'm not using any window form and it's just called from another class. So what value i should put for that argument?Here's the example of that function:
AVS_Measure (device_handle, form_handle, no_measurement)
After this function has been called, it will send message to the form_handle argument whether the measurement data is available and valid.I called this function from another class just for triggering start measurement and i have another function to retrieve the data. I do not have any form associate to it, what value i should put for this argument?

I've been browsing around but the examples I find to do this are either for older VB (which I don't dominate that well and are having some trouble 'fixing') or quite basic and don't allow me to do what I want. Basically, what I want it to get the text on some of the text boxes on a 3rd party application. After some research I concluded these are considered child windows and... Well and from then on I found scattered pieces of information that keep me awake at night So, in order to get the text I want, what should I do?

I am trying to read text from a 3rd party application. I can create a catalogue of all possible letter variations. I can store every possible character I encounter as a small bmp, or perhaps as an array/matrix of pixel values. For example:
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
the letter "I" could be represented in a 10x5 array or matrix as above. Where x represents a wildcard pixel value, but O represents the expected/pre-defined RGB value.
I want to search specific areas of the screen, pixel by pixel where I expect to find the information I'm after. And convert this to usable information. What method gives the best trade-off for simplicity and speed? And how can I implement this method? How do I search for a bmp within a bmp at specific coordinates?

I have to create a form that I enter the price of gas each month over a year. I enter the price in a text box and click the enter button to send the price to a list box immediatley and use an array. I have the following code but I don't think it's working with the array correctly as it will let me enter the information but doesn't stop letting me enter after the 12 prices. I am really having a hard time trying to figure out how to set up this input for an array and make it all work.

I'm writing a small pet program in VB2010 Express
I have 7 labels
Form1
Label1 to Label7
I want these labels to display the text from a third party Software program.
The text is displayed in a child form of the main form the text is in
"window handle is 000E0678"" RichEdit20W"
The text scroll up continuously,
every time - let's say
John (10year) 'is displayed, it takes the 10y and place it
in Label1
Ann (22year 7Street) 'is displayed, it takes the 22y & place it in Label2 7St in Label3
get that text in the labels I only know a little VB. I have used Spy++ to get the window handle
Yes lots for the pro's but we dont understand it, if its just code we dont know where to start or make changes to that code. This is something simple that beginners will understand

I am having a problem with my program that is desinged to read a 3rd party text file database. I posted previosuly about a problem inserting an item in a new row and the column was expectig a different data type. It appears that sometimes the column is being determined to be of decimal value, I dont understand why. the fields contain information such as
Col1
F123456
CLW-12321 etc....
So my column fills with
123456
12321 the letters just get chopped off
So I added MaxScanRows = 0 to my schema file and that took care of the problem
Except now several of my columns that contain Date Values are coming back
9/24/2010 00:00:00
without the setting MaxScanRows = 0
The date returned 9/24/2010
Here is the code for my schema ini file I am creating:
HTML
Dim fs As New FileStream("Schema.ini", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
Dim writer As New StreamWriter(fs)
[CODE]............
I have been trying different settings hence the dimmed out lines
Here is the code to fill the datatable:
HTML
[CODE].............
I am thinking that without the MaxScanRows = 0 setting the datatype for Col1 is being incorrectly determined
I am not sure what is happening with other columns that contain date values. Apparently If i use MaxScan Rows=0 all columns are being pulled over as string value which creates numerous problems. If I dont use maxscanrows then all columns appear to be correct except Col21 MLSNUM which is being pulled in as a decimal. Can I change that in the schema file?

I am trying to get the enter key to invoke an action from in a textbox. I want it to click a button. In Visual Studio 10, which I am using, the is an "Events" selection in theproperties area. Under this there is an "Enter" which allows you to pick something to invoke. So I choose the button that I wish to invoke. However, when this is selected this way, I run the debug and after i type something and hit enter in the text box, nothing happens and I hear a default sound. Why is this not working as it appears it should? What am I not doing right?

This used be an issue in VB6, I'm wondering is it better in vb.net 2005. Users like to hit [Enter] (or tab) to navigate from text box to text box. Now I know I can write code to trap the pressing of [Enter] on each text box key press event, but surely theres a better way?

I have this Quiz software that lets you create online multiple choice quizzes which are great for studying (I am in grad school and I'm trying to use everything I can to learn). So the Quiz software is great but it only lets you input questions by hand, one by one. I took a look at the .xml file that the quiz program spits out and came up with the idea to try and make a converter so that I can import many questions at once. I was hoping to try and solve this limitation by doing the following:
Take a .doc that say a tutor gives us with a bunch of practice questions, and then take that into Crimson Editor, and then format it so the question is on line 1, the multiple choice answers are on lines 3,4,5, and 6, (for the next question, the question would be on line 11, and the answers on lines 13, 14, 15, and 16, and so on) and then take that saved .txt file into my program, hit the generate button, and it will spit out the .xml file, and then import that into the quiz software to generate the online quiz.
Here is an attached screenshot of my program layout so far:
I figured out how to open a text file by watching simple youtube tutorials, but I don't know how to have it generate the stuff and have it show up in the bottom text box. I know how to do the coding to convert the txt to proper xml code but I don't know how to be able to save the contents of the bottom text window to an xml file.

At the moment I have created an AutoTyper but can not get it to function in the way I want it to. I want it to have the option of choosing whether or not the enter button is pressed after the text is sent. Currently by changing True to False I can make it either send the text or send the text and hit enter. However I can not make it so it has the ability to do both.
Here is the code I am using:
Dim CheckBox1 As Boolean
If CheckBox1 = True Then
SendKeys.Send(TextBox1.Text)
SendKeys.Send("{Enter}")
Else
SendKeys.Send(TextBox1.Text)
End IF

I'm using the combo box control in VB.It is not bound to a data source.Visual Studio gave me a text box to enter the values for the combo box.When I run the program, there is a blank value?How do I eliminate this blank (or null) combo value? My combo box is a required field.
For example I entered
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
When the program is ran, the combo box has <blank> (which is selected) Option 1

In the screenshot, you'll see three things- a start time, end time and total time. So the goal is this A user puts in a current start time by hitting F1 at the start of shift. They tab across the end time to the "time field", then go across the row. Then they enter their case number, then hit F1 again, and it will enter the current time in the start box on the next row, as well as putting that time in the end box in the row above.
