[Help Request]Keysend[Solved]

Hi everyone, how can I send several keys at the same time, per example "ctrll+tab" so I can change the tab in firefox or "ctrl+w"?
I'd appreciate your help,

Thanks in advance,
Omanel

On the top of ur form, add this:

Private Declare Function key Lib "User32" Alias "GetAsyncKeyState" (ByVal Key As Keys) As Keys

And in a timer, add this:

If key(Keys.ControlKey) And Keys.W Then

End If

He wants to send them, not check if they are pressed, I guess.

I already know how to do it, found it on msdn

If someone's Intrested:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...8VS.80%29.aspx

(I think there's no problem in posting that link since it's a neutral and safe website)

Okay add these declarations and constants (just under "Public Class Form1"):

[php]
Public Declare Function keybd_event Lib "user32" (ByVal bVk As Byte, ByVal bScan As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long) As Long

Const KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = &H2
[/php]

Then add this sub procedure:

[php]
Private Sub press(ByVal mykey1 As Keys, ByVal mykey2 As Keys)

keybd_event(mykey1, 0, 0, 0)
keybd_event(mykey2, 0, 0, 0)
keybd_event(mykey1, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0)
keybd_event(mykey2, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0)

End Sub
[/php]

Then to utilize this,

[php]

Press(Keys.ControlKey, Keys.W) 'this will press Ctrl + W)

[/php]

FLAMESABER originally gave me a similar snippet, I just modified it to press two keys.

Not sure it works though :P Don't have VB right nao. It should though.

It will work anywhere.

@Deezy: Slight modification to your code.

Code:

Private Sub press(ByVal mykey1 As Keys, ByVal mykey2 As Keys)

        keybd_event(mykey1, 0, 0, 0)
        keybd_event(mykey2, 0, 0, 0)
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500)
        keybd_event(mykey1, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0)
        keybd_event(mykey2, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0)

   End Sub

^^ This will work better !!

Hmm I see But If you hold the keys down for half a second, multiple tabs will be opened etc.

Maybe reduce it to 100 instead of 500

Ya, I just entered an example. It can be changed according to needs.

Here's a source code of a application w/ 2 buttons and 1 timer that changes per example your tab in firefox etc.
[html]Public Class Form1

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Timer1.Enabled = False
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
SendKeys.Send("^({tab})")
End Sub
End Class[/html]

[html]SendKeys.Send("^({tab})")[/html]
That equals "ctrl+tab"

@lolland, ok, just awnsering FLAMESABER.

Marking solved.
