What this code does is send the keys "abc" to a process called Halo.exe. The problem is that sometimes the keys don't send and I need to add a sleep command before the keys are sent. How can I make my app always send the keys and make it so I dont have to use a sleep command.Don't Be Scared To Ask,
well i have been looking all over the internet for hours and i just cant sseem to find a working line of code. ok i know this isnt efficent or anything but i just wana know how to use sendkeys to send control c (copy to clipboard) ive tried using this: Sendkeys.send("^C") and many varriations of that but none of them seem to work and i dont understan why. My program is highlighting some text then i want it to copy that to clipboard.
View 2 RepliesI'm not sure how to make it work, anything with sendkeys have errors in it.
View 6 RepliesHow can I make the sendkeys press 2 buttons at once?Like If I wanted it to paste, Then do Ctrl + v
Or would I have to use a different method then sendkeys?
I am trying to make a program that will be an auto-run in a game for me, the movement key is W and when i use SendKeys, it just spams W really fast (but with the KeyUps also) so my character just slowly goes and stops goes and stops. Is there a way I can just hold the W key down through VB.NET (such as just placing your finger on a key and holding it down)?
View 5 RepliesWhat is the difference between SendKeys.SendWait and SendKeys.Send?Send obviously will just send they key immediately, but does SendWait actually wait for the message to be processed or does it also send it immediately?The function's name itself is just confusing. Which one should I use if I want to send keystrokes to a 3rd party app immediately, or is there no difference? To me, a few milliseconds is a big difference.
View 3 RepliesFirst I say tx to Dream.In.Code, ex. CharlieMay, who have solved all my problem. Now this is not problem to me. only I dont know, how focus to next currentrow without go to down first! because of this , my coding must include SendKeys {UP} else it go to down
CODE:
How to make SendKeys or corectly my coding, for not show in display like this?
Attached image(s)
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
CheckBox1.Checked = True
While CheckBox1.Checked = True
SendKeys("{END}")
End While
End Sub
That is the code, the error is "SendKeys is a type and cannot be used as an expression."
I have an application that requires data be entered, and after entering, a button is clicked to process that data. Clicking the button works just as it should--the data is processed properly. In constructing a test module, I provide a set of data values, followed by:
btnWhatever.PerformClick()
Nothing happens. I have used this syntax for years, and it has always worked flawlessly. I have triple checked everything else and isolated the problem to the failure of the PerformClick(). The PerformClick() is in a test subroutine that does nothing but fill textboxes and labels with default data, then calls the PerformClick() on the button to begin processing. Again, the button works fine, the data is entered as it should be, but the PerformClick() does not fire the click event.
First, I launch a website in Internet Explorer from VB.net and automatically login the user with ther username and password. As soon as the username and password fields are automated, I send "enter" to the website so it goes to the next website. This part works perfectly. However, my problem is that i want to send a mouse click event, which i have already written, to click a hyperlink on the next website page. I tried a few different things, none of which worked. My program is automatically logging in the user and doing the mouse click event at the same time. I have tried to use the "sleep" command, but the mouse click event is still not executing after the second webpage loads. I have tried using nesting "If, then" statements and that has not worked either. Does anyone know how to make sure the webpage fully loads before executing a sendkeys routine or a mouse click event? This is my code thus far:
If (Search.ComboBox1.Text = "IWR") Then
BlockInput(True)'this disables the mouse and keyboard
Dim IE As New Object
[code].....
There are no errors, everything is just executing all at once instead of letting the second webpage load and then executing the mouse click event.
I'm looking for the underlying Win32 API call that the DotNET Framework invokes on a SendKeys.Send or .SendWait call, or a Win32 API Equivalent to SendKeys. I've already experimented with SetKeyboardState which seems like the way to go, except that it does not raise any kind of keyboard event that causes the set keystates to register with an active application or the OS (at least not until another key is pressed; for example I can meddle with the keyboardstate before events process on a natural keystroke, but I can't invoke a keystroke programmatically).
View 1 RepliesI have a VB.Net 2.0 application, on my form I am using a Component ONE PDF reader control.I am trying to send to this control a F4 keystoke to close the navigation panel when it opens the PDF file. It is not working or not accepting the sendkey.I put focus on the control first. Code below:
Me.PDF1.Focus()
Me.PDF1.Select()
My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("{F4}", True)
I have tried different variations of the Sendkeys with no success.
When using Sendkeys with vb.net, is it possible to tell if the target of the Sendkeys has changed between sendings?
View 1 RepliesHow to make my counter work. I keep feeling like I'm putting it, or maybe just part of it, in the wrong place so I've been moving it all over the place but haven't found anything that works yet. I'll paste my code below and it will be the code that seems to not stop when it reaches the end of my counter. Other ways I've tried it make it stop after one or two, depending on what I did to the code at them time.
Here's what I have at the moment:
Public Class mainForm
Dim guessCounter As Integer
Dim correctAccumulator As Integer
Dim totalAccumulator As Integer
Dim answer As Integer

VB.NET While 1 = 1
Dim localRecv As New StreamReader(localClient.GetStream)
Dim aString As String = localRecv.ReadLine
localRecv.Peek()
MsgBox(aString)
End While
Basically "aString" will keep updating if new data arrives to the server. This way does work, and keeps MsgBoxing every time I get new data, but I don't wanna use While, I need something else, because It won't run any other code, just keeps looping that. :/

View 10 RepliesI'm looking for some advice on how to make my app work with different resolutions as I have posted a demo game on the forum but the game was designed on my laptop which is set to 1280x800 but a few people who have tried the demo are having problems as they are using 1024x768.
Is this a case of getting the computers resolution when the app starts and alter the size and position of controls?

I'd like to use it to do some graphing. I'm trying to make MS Chart Control work, but all tutorials/code snippets that I've seen require ChartName.ChartData to populate the chart. When I enter this, I get the blue squiggly line of death:

why this is happening? When I hold the mouse over Chart1.ChartData, I get the message "ChartData is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.Chart".
I completed my VB project a while back and it worked great in XP.Now the same program is needed on computers that have Win7 installed.The program installs without any problems, but when I open it, it gives me an error saying the database is not accessible.
I used Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Compact to design the project.The database was included in the project and in the installation file. I also checked the Programs folder and the database was installed correctly into the correct path.What is the problem with my programs compatibility with Windows 7?
