sendkeys

I'm wanting to write a virtual keyboard, like windows onscreen keyboard for touchscreen pcs. But I'm having problem with my virtual keyboard stealing the focus from the application being used. The windows onscreen keyboard mantains the focus on the current application even when the user clicks on it. Is there a way to do the same with windows forms in C#? The only thing I can do for now is to send a keyboard event to an especific application, like notepad in the following code. If I could make the form not focusable, I could get the current focused window with GetForegroundWindow. [DllImport(

The macro I am building takes names from an Excel spreadsheet, opens Internet Explorer, and searches the online directory. After searching the directory, it pulls up a Java form with the manager's name in it. I am able to manually tab to the manager name, right click, copy shortcut, and then post it back on the spread sheet. However, I am having problems with consistent tabbing and copying the shortcut. Is there a simple way of bringing focus back onto the IE window? How do you copy a shortcut without manually clicking it? Code: Sub Macro1() ' Dim ie As Object Set ie = CreateObject(

SendKeys is method to sending keystroke to an application. Can I do it in Javascript, to send keystroke in browser ? REF : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.sendkeys.aspx rdmueller If you would be able to send keystrokes on the OS Level, this would be a big security issue. You could (for instance) install any kind of software on the client machine if you where able to send keystrokes to the needed install dialogs. Yes, you could come up with an active-x control or some other tools to be installed on the client machine. But because of the security issues with such a

I recently developed a virtual keyboard application for a customer. The program is working fine with almost all programs, but certain commands like {ENTER} or {DEL} are not working with Citrix. Is there are workaround or an alternative to SendKeys ? Edit 1: I tried the SendInput method (Windows Input Simulator uses SendInput) and the DEL key as well as the arrow keys are still not working. The ENTER key works however. Edit 2: Solved it. Tested with two different versions of Citrix. This question helped me a lot. : Citrix thin clients uses the scancode param of keybd_event even when MS says it

I am coding away on my plugin for SDL Trados Studio. The last part of the plugin requires some automation that is not exposed by the APIs at all, so all I have (hold on to something) is to automate the default keyboard shortcuts. I have the code working perfectly for the English keyboard layout (and Hungarian, too!), but it of course does not work for Greek, Russian and so forth. I have been searching for the solution but I was not able to find it until now, not on the web nor on SO, such as this post: Change keyboard layouts through code c# I need to change the keyboard layout to English so

I am trying to send a String to the sendkeys() method, but it is not accepting and throwing an error as my codes follows: package healthcare; import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select; import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium; import com.thoughtworks.selenium.webdriven.WebDriverBackedSelenium; public class MailRegister_Webdriver { public WebDriver driver; public Selenium selenium; public void openURL(){ //System.setProperty(

I was looking for a way to simulate pressing the right Ctrl key in C#, it must be the right one. I know this can be done for the left one but I couldn't find anything on the right one. It is so I can simulate the key press for the manually triggered bsod. Thanks Reniuz You can use keybd_event event to simulate right Ctrl key press.
