So recently my Netbook keyboard stopped working, I got this new one. That would not be a problem if it was not for the missing [FN] key. My computer has several shortcuts, like FN + F6 = Turns screen off.
I cant seem to figure out how to bind these shortcuts to buttons in Visual Basic so I can just hit the button and turn the screen off that way, I've only used VB to make small simple fun stuff.

I am making this little tool for this online game i play (league of legends some of you might know it) Basically I made a small program which consists of 4 buttons and when you click button it starts timer and beeps once it reaches 0. Thats fine. Problem is I have to go out of game to click the button to start the countdown.My question is. While the program is running in background is there a way to press the button by assigning specific key on keyboard ? for example if I press F5 it will start the Bluebtn when i press F6 it will start Redbtn while I am in game.

Types have their own color (cyan by default).Enter completes the auto-complete suggestion.

i have this code here:
Call SendMessage(dtPicker.Handle, CB_SHOWDROPDOWN, True, 0&)
That works fine on comboboxes but doesn't seem to work when it comes to the DateTimePicker box.

I need to have a physical button that when pressed will be noticed by my program.There are many types of usb-buttons that are preprogrammed to open a website, shutdown the computer and so on. And I have seen some projects using buttons and serial port.But none of them "have it all", an easy description of how to put togheter the hardware, and an easy description of the code.
I really only need a button connected to the serial port that send some signal that the button has been pressed.I know this question is a crossover between software and hardware, but when I googled this I have seen plenty more people asking this question, all of them left without answers.Maybe this question fits stackoverflow?
EDIT: My solution
My application in this case was a que system and I wanted a button for people to print a que ticket.I just took apart an old ps2-mouse and bought me a button (4$) and solded two wires from the circuit board to the button. Each mouse button has to dots on the back of the circuit board that we can connect an external button to.Then in my program I just hooked the mousebutton-event systemwide to get when the button is pressed, in my case this computer is dedicated to this program so its not a problem.

I'm trying to create a custom keyboard for my accounting firm. I have all the buttons and button events sorted out.How can I make it so that when buttons a pressed, the text is input into where the cursor is? Currently i put the cursor for instance in an excel cell, then click the key on the virtual keyboard and nothing is inputted into the cell, i assume because it selects the keyboard window when i click the button. For some keys I'm also simply using:SendKeys.Send("q") for example.

Visual basic 2008.I want to make an on screen keyboard exactly like the one in windows. I have made one which uses app activation, but that only works with the one you write in your codding or using a combobox to select one. How do you make one that works with everything like the one in windows.

I wanted to make a calculator. Its fully made and everything but I recently wanted to add more to it. Only thing I can't figure out to do is to make keyboard functions. Like, if I want to type in the numbers instead of clicking the buttons on the calculator to input it into the calc. [code]....
It works to a certain point but i found out that the timer input multiple integers when pressing a key so I thought of about turning off the timer and then having the timer turn back on somehow but that is as close as i can get.

Im creating a Virtual Keyboard for a touchscreen application and I was wondering if there is a way to know whenever a control gets focus, what type of control it is, basically either another thread or a watch function or something that raises an event when a control gets focus.GLOBALLY, not just one control or one form, but any control on any form in the whole program..Basically i want a keyboard icon to appear whenever the control is of Textbox type.

I'm new in the programming area and I'm having trouble making a calculator. My question is: How do I make the calculator work using only the keyboard, without the need of mouse.
I tried this:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Me.KeyPreview = True
End Sub
Private Sub FlowLayoutPanel1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles RESULTADO.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.NumPad0 Then
[Code] .....
It only works on the text box called Result. I want to know how do I make work in the whole Class, and if it is possible, to make it work on two different Classes without writing twice the same code.

I am making an Auto Typer and it was going all good until I came apon a mysterious problem. When sending the space key or enter key with "Send Keys. SendWait" they come up with their numerical equivalent, 32 and 13.For example, a user types "test" into the textbox, and clicks "{Text} {Space} {Text}" in the options menu. The user clicks start and the output is "Text32Text32Text".Is there any way to just send the keys and make them appear as if you typed them on a keyboard?

Respect, I should write a program for my keyboard player, which would have the option of changing sounds. So, the device is plugged into the USB, which lets you plug in 4 MIDI device or its keyboard. In order to select a song, a program should then all keyboards set the preset sounds. Is it possible to make? Do you perhaps know what we all need?

I'm afraid I don't have any code to show, as I don't know where to begin with this. I'd like to have it so that if the user presses "Ctrl+O" it will run the OpenDialogue from the Menu. If someone really wants me to (don't see how it'd help, but whatever it takes ) I can post the fully functional open function.

How Do I Make Button.click Event Perform both the enter and period(del) keys on the numeric keypad? [Code] Case Keys.Enter and Case Keys.Separator do not work. Nor does anything like Keys.OEMPeriod for the period(del) key. I've also tried calling the enter key in a KeyPress event etc. But to no avail. Any ideas? I'm trying to mimic Windows calc.exe for a school project and thought I'd try throwing in a few extras such as numeric keypad functionality.
