Control of external application via mouse moves and clicks

14-Aug-08 12:15

My pleasure. I see you have run into the modern developers curse, if you hold your tongue just right and face into the wind, it works. Now you can understand why I hate interacting with the textbox events.

Well done.

Hi,

Does anyone know of functions that may be accessed via VB code that locate the mouse in a given location, then create a mouse click event.

The idea is to control an external application by locating the mouse over a button on that application then producing the click event within that application.

I know of the "SendKey" and "SetForegroundWindow" functions, but the external application doesn't have a hot key assigned to the commands I'm trying to access.

Thanks,
Andy

Declare an integer variable and increment its count every time you find the desired employee with in the loop

Perhaps Array.FindAll() followed by Array.Length() would be helpful?

String.format problem

Hi, I'm trying to dynamically build an insert query.

Dim strIns as string = "Insert into XXXX (Field01, Field02) values( '{0}', {1})"
Dim strVals as string = ""Value00","value01""

Dim strWork as string = String.Format(strIns,strVals)

This results in an error
Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.

Could anyone please point me into the right direction?

Thanks

{0}, {1} means you need to pass two arguments besides strIns

Thanks Christian,

The arguments are supposed to be in the strVals that is being passed.
From your reply I gather that I need to pass the individual arguments rather than building a string with the values to pass.

I think, I NEVER (amlost) allow inline editing in grid or listviews. I make the user double click to open a form to CRUD a record, that way you are only managing 1 record at a time.

What do you mean by CRUD?
