This "oddness", as you call it, is because you don't understanding how Windows works.
You're using SendKeys to post keyboard messages (hint, hint) to your own form. OK, great! You've posted these messages, but since your very next statement puts your forms' execution thread to sleep, the message processing loop of your form (otherwise known as WndProc) can't process those messages, send the keystrokes to the TextBox, and let the TextBox repaint itself, until Thread.Sleep returns. As a quick'n'dirty "fix", you might want to let that stuff happen before you put your thread to sleep:
KeysAuto keysAuto = new KeysAuto();
keysAuto.SendKeys("This is a test.{ENTER}Second Line.{ENTER}");
Application.DoEvents();
Thread.Sleep(1000);
keysAuto.SendKeys("This is a test #2.{ENTER}Second Line.{ENTER}");
Application.DoEvents() will let your form process all pending messages before the next line executes.

"I do not know until i know." --famous philosopher
You suggestion works! Your explanation makes it clear that the SendKeys class is sending new events to the MainForm, thus explaining the delay. I was just blind to it. I see the following things happening:
--Mainform function starts execution;
--SendKeys sends keypresses; new events are stored in execution cue;
--Thread.Sleep is executed;
--SendKeys sends keypresses; new events are stored in execution cue;
--Rest of Mainform function is executed;
--Form receives and handles newly made SendKeys events;
From what i read about DoEvents, it seems to make a form multi-threaded somewhat- frees up the UI during execution. Just like the good ole days of VB6!

It's not multi-threaded at all. Application.DocEvents() just redirects the UI thread to executing the WndProc loop to process the messages, then when the message queue is empty, returns the thread to executing your code from the next line.
VB6 worked the exact same way...

I load a text document in listbox, no problem. the text file is loaded like a list, I mean, read string by string. the next step is print preview and print the listbox contents because the listbox contents and the text file are diffrent and the listbox has a temporal contens and this is my doubt, how can I show in the printpreviewdialog and printdialog the contents of my listbox??.

In a usercontrol i create a ListView control with a handler for the click event. In this usercontrol i create a new form and i send the reference of my ListView to it and also attach it to the Controls of the form(Obs: my ListView control isn't in the Controls of my usercontrol, it's only created there).
At runtime when i select an item from the ListView the handler method is executed, then the form closes and when i reopen the form(with the same attached ListView) when i try to select an item the same handler method isn't executed(Obs: Before I close the form I erase the reference of the ListView from the Controls of the form so the dispose method won't affect it)
Code:
public class myusercontrol: System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
{
....
private void InitLv()
{
this.lv = new System.Windows.Forms.ListView();
lv.Click+=new EventHandler(lv_Click);
.......
}
private void lv_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
.......//this method is executed only once
}
private void btn_drop_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
MyForm popup = new MyForm ();
popup.AddLv(this.lv);
....
}
}
In MyForm:
...
public void AddLv(System.Windows.Forms.ListView lv)
{
this.SuspendLayout();
this.Controls.Add(lv);
this.ResumeLayout(false);
}
public void CloseForm()
{
RemoveLVTV();// this remove de lv from Controls
this.Close();
}

Hello to all,
I have to make RTP sreaming. By doing googling i foung oRTP library. This is build in C. I also found ortp.dll. But now i don't know how to use this dll in C#.net.
This dll is not a COM object. So, we can't add reference of this.
Plz help me.
Regards,
Divyang Mithaiwala

You can call into a C dll using P/Invoke (http://pinvoke.net). If the dll heavily uses STL, MFC, ATL or some other C++ library, your best bet might be to use C++/CLI to call the method.

Hi!
I have a user control with a PictureBox control. This picturebox's image is data binded to a binary field in the database. When I set the image, it works fine: image is saved in the DB and everythings fine.
Now, when I want to CLEAR the image, I do the following:
this.picImage.Image.Dispose();
this.picImage.Image = null;
and...nothing happens. The next time I open the form, the image is still there. The binding is correct because if I change the bitmap, it is saved properly. It seems to be ignoring the null value Im trying to persist in the database.
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005.
Help! Thanks in advance

Ok, you need a screwdriver, or a knife, or some other thin flat implement
put the thin end under the Alt key on your keyboard, and gently apply leaverage. The key should easily pop out. Repeat with the other alt key
Now do the same with both Ctrl keys
Finally repeat the process with the Del key (and also the other Del key on the numeric keypad, if the keyboard in question has one).
Include these instructions in the manual for your software, so that the end users can perform the same action.

Yeah, of all the ways to do it, sure, ASP.NET would offer the easiest approach!

I would write a ASP.NET keyboard driver. That way, you will be able to handle any keystroke sequence.

I am with benjymous, I think a screwdriver would definetly be involved in an elegant solution,of course a quick and nasty solution would involve a hammer and/or explosives.

There are several hardware solutions for this:
1. Remove the keys from the keyboard.
2. If your keyboard is switch-based, remove those small switches. This way you can keep the keys on the keyboard.
3. Buy a custom-made keyboard without those keys.
4. Put a dongle on the keyboard connector. This has the advantage of keeping those keys working normally, but block that specific combination.
AFAIK, there's no software solution for this...

You could also put this in your licence agreement:
Pressing ctrl+alt+del while using this software you are agreeing that a ninja comes to your home and chops off your head.
Or you could send information to the server when the user preses ctrl+alt+del and then instruct the ninja to do his work. That way you don't have to ship a ninja with every copy of the software.
