Way To Detect Insertion / Removal Of Other USB Peripherals Such As Mouse And Keyboard?
Jan 9, 2012
Why is it that this VB.Net code only works for detecting flash disks? [code] What would be the possible way to detect the insertion and removal of other USB Peripherals such as mouse and keyboard?
I am having problem with my FYP that my application is based on the detection of Insertion and Removal of a device. I am aware that this would happen using Win32_VolumeChangeEvent class or WMI. (Please notify me if I am wrong). Kindly solve this problem and send the code for Console Application in VB.NET. Please do not send code in any script language or C#. Also to get the device information.
scardgetstatuschange DOES wait(timeout is set INFINITE by -1) for card-insertion after connecting the reader-device to the pc. After a card is being insterted the first time and removed again, it won't wait any longer and returns immediately everytime;
I know you can do it with an WMI event or overriding WndProc and looking for the right messages, but i was wondering if there wasn't something hidden in the net framework that makes this task easyer.

I'm looking for a way to detect when a new USB mass storage device is inserted in one of the pc's USB ports... I need to get it's drive letter and check for the existence of a particular file.
I'm writing a small application to detect the insertion of USB memory sticks and prompt the user to accept the device or reject it. Rejecting it would prevent its being loaded by Windows. I have the code that detects insertion & removal working fine but have no idea how to cancel the insertion.I was thinking that I could intercept the DEVICEARRIVAL message and kill it off before its actioned by Windows but I am lost with this.code to show the way.Heres the main part of the code I have so far-
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message) 'This kills off any 'autoplay' capability in the stick If QueryCancelAutoPlay = 0 Then[code]......
I am looking to create a VB.NET application. when the application is opened it will disable the keyboard and mouse so if you hit any keys it does nothing and you can not move the mouse. (even if currently selected window is not that of application).
I am creating a DIY calculator.The one in W7, I can't hardly see. Mine is much simpler and larger.I currently have buttons for numeric 0 - 9, Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide, Clear, Enter, and Decimal Point.There is a label at the top with displays results.If I use my mouse to select the buttons, then everything works okay. However, if I use the keyboard, I get strange results.I thought it may have been my old keyboard so I changed it.No difference.If it's not in the hardware, then it's in the code.The section below is what I have for keyboard use:
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress Ch = e.KeyChar Select Case Ch[code]....
For each of these, there is a corresponding Button_Click even farther down in the code. Since the mouse click on the buttons on the form works properly, the problem must be above. I can't see it.
I am using vb.net framework 3.5. I want to lock input devices like keyboard and mouse from my application. Is their is anyway using sendkeys or any method to lock?
I am a newbie to this forum. I searched across a lot to find a way in VB.net how to capture the keyboard and mouse events scoping to the whole computer. Basically what I want to do is make a keyboard and mouse macro recorder application, so that the regular job of starting the same programs again and again everyday might be automated.
I can't get the GetAscKeyState Function to respond to keystrokes. It works for mouse clicks just fine. Could it be an issue with my computer? I haven't seen anyone else with this problem.
I want to write a Visual Basic script for excel, which will take values from the cell and then put them in the specified fields in a 3d party application using global mouse positioning commands (smthing like ... SetMouseXY(X,Y,MouseButton); Keysdown(Ctrl+V); ...).
I am kind of amazed that there is no answer to this anywhere and I mean anywhere. I am looking for a way to disable the keyboard (actually all input) on a computer. There are several threads about it but no one has ever posted any serious, working code. I know someone is going to inevitably ask "why would you want to do that"? Actually why I want to do it is immaterial but if you must know... I am playing with a "USB Keylock". When this USB Keylock is not present in the computer I want to disable the keyboard. When it is present I want to enable the keyboard.
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 am trying to create a program that using the mouse to press keyboard keys...i mean e.g when u click the wheel button to press the "1" key of the keyboard.
I am writing a program to record and playback all the keyboard and mouse events using the journalrecord and journalplayback methods. The code also stores this recorded event in the file and opens the file for playing. The mouse movements are playing fine but none of the mouse clicks or keyboard keypresses are playing fine. Attaching the record and playback hook procedure.
Private Function RecordHookProc( _ ByVal nCode As Integer, ByVal wParam As IntPtr, _ ByVal lParam As IntPtr) As Integer 'Stop recording at "BREAK" key press [Code] .....
Win32 is a class file which I have used for declaration of constants and importing DLL files. readFs and writeFs are the Filestreams
I have done some reasearch on disabling the mouse and keyboard both on Google and on the forum and what ever i find can not get to work. What I'm trying to do is on a click of a button it will disable the mouse and keyboard. It must work in W
