WriteConsoleOutput

[Doug Perkes]

Does anyone have an example of declaring and using the WriteConsoleOut put
Win32 API function? I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding how to
translate all the structures to VB.NET. Specifically, I am trying to send
plain text, the enter key, the F3 key, arrow keys, etc to a console window I
have attached to.

Thanks,

Doug

I don't have any example of how to use it, but I'd declare it like
this

Declare Auto Function WriteConsoleOut put Lib "kernel32.d ll" (ByVal
hConsoleOutput As IntPtr, ByVal lpBuffer(,) As CHAR_INFO, ByVal
dwBufferSize As COORD, ByVal dwBufferCoord As COORD, ByRef
lpWriteRegion As SMALL_RECT) As Boolean

WriteConsoleInp ut [was WriteConsoleOut put]

Sorry, I meant to type WriteConsoleInp ut. ;-(

Could someone help me write the structs and declarations for
WriteConsoleInp ut. I am very confused by the INPUT_RECORD struct and how to
create it in VB?

Thanks,

Doug

Probably the unions... I would do something like this...

<StructLayout(L ayoutKind.Expli cit)> _
StructLayout CharUnion
<FieldOffset(0) > _
Public UnicodeChar As Short
<FieldOffset(0) > _
Public AsciiChar As Byte
End Structure


<StructLayout(L ayoutKind.Seque ntial)> _
Structure KEY_EVENT_RECOR D
Public bKeyDown As Boolean
Public wReapeatCount As Short
Public wVirtualKeyCode As Short
Public wVirtualScanCod e As Short
Public uChar As CharUnion

' I'd probaby make a enum of the flags
' here, but an integer still works :)
Public dwControlKeySta te As Integer
End Structure

<StructLayout(L ayoutKind.Expli cit)> _
Structure EventUnion
<FieldOffset(0) > _
Public KeyEvent As KEY_EVENT_RECOR D
<FieldOffset(0) > _
Public MouseEvent As MOUSE_EVENT_REC ORD
....
End Sturcture

<StructLayout(L ayoutKind.Seque ntial)>
Structure INPUT_RECORD
Public EventType As Short
Public Event As EventUnion
End Structure

Not a complete set of definitions, but something to get you going. I
actually have most of these defined in C# somewhere... How much C# do
you understand? If I find them, I could post that code.

Re: WriteConsoleInp ut [was WriteConsoleOut put]

Tom,

C# would be perfect! I'm need to do this project in C# anyway...but the only
examples I found were VB so I was using VB to see if I could get it to work.

If you could post the C# code, I'd be very appreciative. Should I make a
post to the C# group so it would be relevant to the group?

Thanks,

Doug

I was writting a replacement for the Console class that handled multiple
screen buffers, colors, ctrl events, etc - but the project kind of got
side lined, so I'll have to look around and see if I still have it. If
I do, I'll probably just post a link to the source anyway. So, I think
it's ok to keep the discussion here. Anyway, I'll let you know one way
or the other latter today.

Re: WriteConsoleInp ut [was WriteConsoleOut put]

Tom,

Please forgive my ignorance again. I just can't seem to figure this out.

I am trying to create a method called SendKeys that will write a string to
the console input.

Here are the questions I have:
1. Do I need to send both a key down and a key up event?
2. What do I put for the ControlKeyState value if no control key is pressed
3. How do I get the value of the wVirtualKeyCode ?
4. How do I get the value of the wVirtualScanCod e?

Thanks again for all your help,

Doug

Here's what I have so far:
private static void SendKeys(string text)
{
int length = text.Length;
INPUT_RECORD[] buffer = new INPUT_RECORD[length];
int eventsWritten = -1;
System.Text.ASC IIEncoding encoder = new ASCIIEncoding() ;
Byte[] bytes = encoder.GetByte s(text);

for (int i=0;i<length;i+ +)
{
KEY_EVENT_RECOR D rec = new KEY_EVENT_RECOR D();
EVENT_UNION union = new EVENT_UNION();
union.KeyEvent = rec;
//Do I need to send both a key down and a key up event?
rec.bKeyDown = true;
//What do I put for dwControlKeySta te if no control key is pressed
//rec.dwControlKe yState = ControlKeyState .????;
rec.uChar.Ascii Char = bytes[i];
rec.wRepeatCoun t = 1;
//how do I get the value of the wVirtualKeyCode
//rec.wVirtualKey Code = ????;
//how do I get the value of the wVirtualScanCod e
//rec.wVirtualSca nCode = ????;
buffer[i].EventType = InputEventType. KeyEvent;
buffer[i].Event = union;
}
ConsoleApi.Writ eConsoleInput(
hConsoleInput,
buffer[0],
length,
eventsWritten);

}

Doug,

Forgive me... I haven't had time to look at this yet. I was wondering
if you actually got it working in the mean time? If not you may want to
move it over to the framework interop goup. Things are a little hectic
right now, and I'm not sure I can get to digging into this for a few
days.

I haven't got it working. I'm posting it to the Interop group now.
