How could I loop through a list of the keys that are available in the 'Keys' enumeration? It seems like it should be something easy to do, but I'm not having any luck finding a collection that I can loop through.
View 6 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..
Me.Text = e.keycode
It works, but then if I add a button for example, it stops.
just wondering how i could give my auto typer hot keys, for example they press f1 to start the typer f2 to stop it.

I am trying to creat a program to automate many of the things I do when I build a computer. I was attempting to do this via batch files but got stuck when I needed to search the registry for cetain keys and delete the parrent folder in which it resides in.
For instance: Installing a MS Loop Back Adapter I found a utility that works at the command promt called DEVCON that will allow me to install a MS Loop Back Adapter. I was doing this through a batch file but found that I can call the utility through VB and get the same result (of course I still need to have the DEVCON.exe)

I want to get all sub keys in a reg location. This entry can also have additional sub keys.At location "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTexefile" this key as 3 subkeys and 2 of these keys have additional sub keys under them. I need to get all the keys and any additional sub keys under each key if there is any. This code will be used for other keys, so I can not assume they have subkeys.
Dim Key As RegistryKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("exefile", False)
Dim SubKeyNames() As String = Key.GetSubKeyNames()
Dim Index As Integer

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 need to get a list of registry keys. I have a key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECBV
In there I have a couple of more keys that I need to list. After that I'll be able to get the subkeys easily.
I've looked and the only call that seems to do this is RegOpenKeyEx. Is there a better or more up to date method that I can use?
I've looked at My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine and can only see methods to get the subkeys and not keys.

View 1 RepliesI need to capture the left and right arrow keys in Form1.KeyDown event so I can use them as hot keys.

How can I remove the arrow keys from tab order and use them for my hot keys instead?

View 4 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.
