This question keeps coming up from time to time. What you want to create is called a "keylogger" and to put it simply, we don't like them. Most of us go to great lengths to keep such things out of our systems, and don't like the idea of helping someone to create one. They are a major method used by scammers and spammers to steal information.

Please don't ask for help in creating one.

I've agreed to reopen this thread after an explanation via Private Message. Apparently what Ty wants to do is create a program which will perform automated data entry ("auto typer") when Ctrl-R is pressed.

I don't know how you're going to do it though, Ty. Perhaps you can search out some API calls to intercept Windows messages or something. If you try to install it on anyone else's PC, you can probably expect their antivirus software to object, since it will look like a keylogger.

Ty, I'm still confused. What do you really want to do? automated data entry ("auto typer") makes no sense to me. Go slow: I'm old, remember? ;o)>>> Sam

The programing im making has 3 textboxs. the textboxs do:
1st: You type in What you want to say over and over again
2nd: seconds in between
3rd: How many times to say it

Alright now

To activate it you press Ctrl R (r meaning Run) on the client you want it to type to. I couldnt do a button because
1 Doesnt look gud
2 It would be easier

Also i despriatly need the Ctrl S because if i want to stop it before the 3rd text box runs (times to say) i cant open the Application easier then i can press Ctrl s. The only problem with the e.keycode is that when u have textbox on your form it doesnt work and it also doesnt work if it minimized. I also know its possible because i have seen it done before. I also know it was done with VB because i got a Decomplier and searched for all the VB run programs on mi computer and it was one of them


Also Killer my name mague and ty mean Thank you lol doesnt matter thou

anyways Ty

Oops! :)

By the way. If you have a decompiler, why don't you decompile the existing program, and see how they did it?

[Mague]

The decompiler doesnt let you see the source its all like jiberish

you can get them from

https://www.decompiler-vb.com

if u were intrested

All it does is give u all these anoying codes

Gud idea thou

Ty anyways

I had a look there, but couldn't find a de-compiler. Just lots of links to other pages of links (I hate that).

Which de-compiler did you use? (Are you sure it wasn't the "convert VB to C" one? Maybe you're trying to read C code...)

[SammyB]

Maybe you're trying to read C code...)

Is that possible? ;o)>>>

[Mague]

The decompiler is vbDeformer



ty for all you help

Any ideas on how to detect keys :)

[Atran]

You want detect keys in your Windows Form Application or in the Windows System.

I think you're looking for Hotkeys. Here's a couple of sites. The first is for VB6 and the second is for .NET:

I hope this helps.

Hello, This code is VB .Net.
Copy all the code (But make sure your form name is Form1) and paste it to your code page.

[CODE=vb]
Public Class Form1

'Making new Label.
Dim myLabel As New Label()

'Form begin loading.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
MessageBox.Show ("If you click Ctrl + Q, the Application will exit", "Attention" , MessageBoxButto ns.OK, MessageBoxIcon. Warning)
'------------------------------
'myLabel Properties.
myLabel.Locatio n = New Point(12, 70)
myLabel.Size = New Size(200, 20)
myLabel.Text = "Click Ctrl + R."
'-------------------------------
'We add myLabel to the Form.
Controls.Add(my Label)
End Sub

'Form1_KeyDown, you can also use: myLabel_KeyDown .....
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows. Forms.KeyEventA rgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
'If we click Ctrl.
If (e.Control) Then
If (e.KeyCode = Keys.R) Then
myLabel.Text = "You Click Ctrl + R."
End If
If (e.KeyCode = Keys.Q) Then
Close()
End If
End If
End Sub
End Class

[/CODE]

Hope this was helful.
