[QUESTION] Can I use Codejock & SendKeys?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I have been tasked with creating a Touch Screen application, see attached screenshot of an example layout I am testing with. The screenshot is of two forms, the Keyboard form and an example form for testing input.

However when I try and use SendKeys with the Codejock PushButtons it doesn't always seem to work. Sometimes the keys pressed work and sometimes they don't, it's quite frustrating. This seems to work fine with the VB CommandButtons but not with the CJ PushButton. The reason I want to use the PushButton is so I can use the PushButton.Checked event to highlight that Caps Lock is on etc...

I also tried to use the "CommandBars.KeyBindings.Add" to bind the keys however when I called SendKeys it seems to hang the application and the only way to regain focus to the app is to open the Task Manager.

Has anyone done any Touch Screen programming? If so have you used the Codejock tools?

Thanks for any help on this.

	Hi Alexander, If you have a REAL touchscreen PC you don't need to create keyboard. I also use computers with touchscreen and they are equipt with an onscreen keyboard. Also the right mouse click is covered (at least the one I use... Pressing the item, where normally a right click is needed, longer than few seconds, popup menu will be displayed) Just buy right computer with touchscreen

	Hi Aaron, As of yet I don't have access to the touchscreen PC, it's an upcoming project so I was just doing a little leg work on this subject. I will just have to make sure we get the right computer.
