Autoclicking and Hotkeys

[dudezone2]

Okay, sorry for all the questions posted by me recently.

My first problem is the autoclicking, i used the tutorial from the vb tutorial list topic to make the autoclicker.

A lot of the time, when i debug my application, i click Start or press the Start Hotkey, and it just stops right away.

I think it's the hotkeys that are doing this, because, the Stop button is the only thing that can stop the timer, because my hotkey action is a performclick rather then copying and pasting the stop button code. and i know its not just the timer disabling because i have a label that says Active if the autoclicker is running, and Inactive if it's not, and i made it so if the Start or Stop button is clicked, the label will change, not if the timer is enabled or not. The interval for the timer is at a controllable rate. and no the hotkeys for start and stop are not the same, and ive tried changing them to make sure it wasn't happening with a specific hotkey. Oh and when it stops randomly, i didn't even start it using the start hotkey, i pressed the button so i don't understand whats going on please help.


The second thing is more of just a question. The GetAsyncKeyState is only for the forms in the project, like if you hit a hotkey while on IE and ur program is not selected/minimized, will it work?

Thanks

What suggested that? GetAsyncKeyState will return any key's state no matter what application is open so yes, if you hit a hotkey on IE and your form is capturing keys with GetAsyncKeyState, it will still work.

Well the fact that i tested it and it didn't work but whatever

You're probably implementing it incorrectly then. A snippet would be nice, we can't just guess what's going on.

Dim StartClick As Boolean
Dim StopClick As Boolean

StartClick = GetAsyncKeyState(Keys.F1)
StopClick = GetAsyncKeyState(Keys.F2)

If StartClick = True Then
Button2.PerformClick()
End If

If StopClick = True Then
Button3.PerformClick()
End If


Is the code, which is under my Hotkey timer, which has 10 interval and is enabled by default
