[HELP] How do you make SendKeys work?
I'm personally making a On-Screen Number Pad right now for users who use laptops. And when I debugged it, and tried it, it doesn't work! So I'm guessing I need to have a target process or something. But I don't know how! Help! Here's my code:

[PHP]Public Class Form1

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

Dim TargetProcess As Process() = Process.GetProcessesByName(TextBox1.Text)

End Sub
End Class[/PHP]

That's the TargetProcess. Here's the Number Pad:

[PHP]Public Class Form2

Private Sub ExitToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExitToolStripMenuItem.Click

End

End Sub

Private Sub AlwaysOnTopToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AlwaysOnTopToolStripMenuItem.Click

If AlwaysOnTopToolStripMenuItem.Checked = True Then

Me.TopMost = True

Else

Me.TopMost = False

End If

End Sub

Private Sub Button0_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button0.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.NumPad0)

End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.NumPad1)

End Sub

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.NumPad2)

End Sub

Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.NumPad3)

End Sub

Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.NumPad4)

End Sub

Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.NumPad5)

End Sub

Private Sub Button6_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button6.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.NumPad6)

End Sub

Private Sub Button7_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button7.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.NumPad7)

End Sub

Private Sub Button8_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button8.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.NumPad8)

End Sub

Private Sub Button9_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button9.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.NumPad9)

End Sub

Private Sub Button10_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button10.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.Divide)

End Sub

Private Sub Button11_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button11.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.Multiply)

End Sub

Private Sub Button12_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button12.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.Decimal)

End Sub

Private Sub Button13_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button13.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.Enter)

End Sub

Private Sub Button14_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button14.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.Add)

End Sub

Private Sub Button15_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button15.Click

SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.Subtract)

End Sub
End Class[/PHP]

Help!

Wouldn't it just be easier to make a timer for each button lets say we have button1 and timer1 heres how it could be:

button1:
Timer1.start

Timer1:
sendkeys.send("1")

then for the rest of the buttons just replace the 1 with whatever eg:

sendkeys.send("/") // divide
sendkeys.send("+") // add
sendkeys.send("*") // multiply
sendkeys.send(".") // decimal

ECT ECT ..

wouldn't that just be easier?


edit: SHIT SORRY FOR BUMP didn't realize date, this guy needed help though :/ sorry .. should i delete this post?

I think his problem was sending the keys to a target process, because it's an on-screen keyboard you have to have that formed focused to click the keys, so that means it will only send the keys to the "keyboard form", essentially useless. He needs to know how to send the keystroke to an open process.

I made a C# project which had a touch screen keyboard, back in that time (was at school), i was working with MDI, and i was focusing the last write-able control that was selected, and then executed send keys.

About sending it to another application.. well.. you can always try Postmessage/Sendmessage...

Or before the Sendkeys.Send() code, find the process hwnd and use SetForegroundScreen(), plus to send keystrokes.. sendkeys won't work (i think j-deezy said that already), so use another API.

Edit: although it's an old topic, it might be useful for someone else with the same problem. (Anyway they never use search)
