Hello. I've been tralling the interwebs for a few hours now, and there is this one piece of code that is preventing my entire application from being complete!
Essentially, my application waits until a set of variables are equal to what they should be then it sends keys to the currently active window.
The code I am using is
But, whenever my program gets to the stage of doing this, it comes up with a security error.
As I copy and paste, the application did start sending the Number 4 to chrome within this textbox!
as expected, so why doesn't it work within this other application?
UAC is disabled on my machine, and I even right click the application and click run as administrator. Nothing.
I have installed .Net 1.1, 1.1SP1 and the SendKeys Hotfix, in hopes that it may possibly work, it didn't, I assume because my project is using .Net 4
I have looked at SendInput, but the code wasn't clear or wasn't for the version of VB I am using. I have looked at keybd_event, but can't find any code at all to do with that.
I just need something to use as an alternative to SendKeys that will send key presses to another application, no questions asked...
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks!
