Hi,
I'm trying to generate a key press with C#, so that it can be picked up by another app. I tried to use the SendKeys class to achieve what I'm looking for
while (true)
{
SendKeys.SendWait("{F1}");
Thread.Sleep(500);
}
which works for most apps I tried (FireFox, VS2008 etc), but not the app I'm looking to control - Frets on Fire[^]. I was told that the problem might occur because FoF doesn't deal with windows messages, but instead, polls the input device (keyboard) directly.
Is there an option to simulate the behavior of an actual keyboard (write directly to the memory responsible for keyboard or something), or applying some other workaround?
Thank you!

The only thing I can think of would be to write your own keyboard driver (cannot be done in C#!) and have it generate key states on demands of an external application.
Don't ask for examples, I don't have any.

I think I've found the problem. FoF reacts to the sendkey events, only I believe they are too quick to have any effect. I'm trying the SendInput solution now, which is not going so well, as I lost even the functionality I've had with SendKey (im probably doing something wrong).
How would "hold down" a button programatically?
Thanx
edit: I've also tried the keybd_event() thingie (with DllImport) and it gives same results as SendKey (only sending one command on key down), the key released command seems to have no effect also.

Hello,
I need to migrate a COM written in C++ to C#.
Is it possible to use the same CLSID (GUID) for both?

is it possible? or will be some conflicts?
Thanks,
F

Dear all,
I have a two projects in in my solution.
the first one is a windows service and the second project is a asp.net project.
The purpose of the asp.net website is to cofigure the configuration file(xml file) that the windows service uses.
My question is where to put this configuration file so both projects can reach it?
I putted it in the solution items directory, bud i can't reach it in my code.
Can someone give me a hint?
Thanks in advance.

What exactly do you mean by solution items directory?
Remember that VS (by default) places your binaries in the \bin\Debug or \bin\Release directories..

And how do you propose to write a file outside of your web site?

Hi,
I am having a strange problem when starting a process on a Windows Mobile based device.
RepsApp is the entry point for the application.
AppHandler is essentially a class that is used to maintain a bunch of global variables.
public class RepsApp
{
static void Main()
{
AppHandler.frmMain = new FormMain();
AppHandler.frmMain.ControlBox = true;
AppHandler.frmMain.MinimizeBox = false;
AppHandler.frmMain.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle;
Application.Run(AppHandler.frmMain);
if (AppHandler.GetUpdates)
{
int processID = Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id;
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = Path.Combine(AppHandler.GetAppPath(), "AppUpdater.exe");
p.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("{0} {1}", processID, true);
p.Start();
}
Application.Exit();
}
}
In the MainForm class I simply set AppHandler.GetUpdates to True and close the form
public class FormMain : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
private void menuItemGetUpdates_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
AppHandler.GetUpdates = true;
this.Close();
}
}
When the MainForm closes :
if AppHandler.GetUpdates is True the main application stays in memory after it launchs the AppUpdater process.
if AppHandler.GetUpdates is False the main application closes as expected.
Is there any reason why calling Process.Start would prevent the main application from closing?
Thanks,
David

hi,
iam not sure if that could help..,
you set the current ProcessID from the running app at the arguemnts. don't know what your AppUpdater internal do with the ProcessID but maybe it supsends the thread on the processid so you "main" application could not close ?!?

hi sir,
i am work in c# then my problem public variable define in c#
|
|
|

A public variable is just a variable which is defined outside of a method and has the visibility specifier of public. Depending on how you look at it, a property could be a public variable in its most basic case (disregarding the generated get/set methods, no validation, etc).

So this is a public variable, is it:
private int i = 0;
Interesting. And there's me thinking that the keyword
public might be involved somewhere along the line.

 I had a complete brainfreeze. I'm about to edit my post. Sorry for any confusion that I might have caused to any other readers of that post.

Are you talking about a global variable (as in VB6) that can be access from anywhere in the app. Then use a static class and a internal static variable.
static Global {
internal static MyString = "Hello";
}
And this variable can be accessed from anywhere in the app using:
string string1 = Global.MyString;

Hi all.
You can visit this link : http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=510375
Like that application, I try to show a PPT file within a form by using FindWindow() and SetParent() Function of "user32.dll" by C#. I can catch events such as: begin show, end show, next slide, next, previous, next build... by build functions to handle that events (for a object of Micorosoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.SlideShowWindow) . It works ok. But if slide has a VBA button (to run a marco or show animation ...) or has a video clip and you need to click on it to play, I can not catch onlick event for that object/shapes. I need to know what shape/object on slide is clicked when slide is showing. It seem as PPT do not support that event? Please help me.
Thank you so much for your help.
Regards.

Hi,
I wish to inquire that how i can install a windows component while deploying my application.
I wish to install the windows message queue component while deploying which is not there in default windows installation.
Any help!!!
|
|
|
|
|
AFAIK, you have to ask your users to do it.
|
|
|
|
|
there must be someway, any windows installer sdk???
|
|
|
|
|
I have never seen or heard of any installers for Windows components. Try in MSDN downloads.
|
|
|
|
|
There is a Windows Installer SDK but it won't help you in this case.
You'll have to use the SetupAPI in Win32 to install the required components. The users will also have to have their installation media for Windows and possibly reapply service packs/patches to the machine after you install the components.
No, I don't know the exact procedure or functions you need to call, and I don't have any examples. You're the first person to ask this in the 6 years I've been around here.

|
|
|
|
OH waooo!!!!
At least eventually i am the one who asked it, even perhaps it took 6 years.
So, the matter remains unhanded then, user has to himself, with a windows cd at hand install the MSMQ component.

After quite a bit of digging, you may want to research "sysocmgr". It may handle what you want, though you'll have to write custom .INF files to use it.
