What Is SendKeys In VB.NET And How To Use It

just thought to write something what will make alot sense so i am gonna explain what is sendkeys() and how to use it
you can use SendKeys() to type words like they are typed from your keyboard

for instance :

add this code to a button click event or any other click events

process.start("notepad")

Sendkeys.Send("Testing 123 123 123)")

what this actually do is , when you click on the button notepad.exe(windows notepad) will open and automatically Testing 123 123 123 will be typed in the notepad

some people use sendkeys() to make bots

for instance :
you have a game and for example lets take mario and you need to press spacebar to jump so you can use this on a timer and it will do it automatically

sendkeys.sendwait("^{ }")

by the way sendkeys() are super fast than we type

you can also use sendkeys() to automatically type in a messenger or a chat box (skype,yahoo messenger,oovoo,msn,etc)

for instance :

add a textbox and add a button and add this code to click event , you should add this namespace imports system.windows.forms

Randomize()
Dim rand As Random
 Dim sendkey As String = "(" + rand.Next(1, 999).ToString + ")" + TextBox1.Text
 SendKeys.Send(sendkey)

If you're using earlier versions of vb.net you would get errors in these lines:

myBlend.Colors = {Color.FromArgb(232, 232, 240), Color.FromArgb(232, 232,
240), Color.FromArgb(232, 232, 240)}
myBlend.Positions = {0.0F, 0.5F, 1.0F}

an Anonymous commenter gave a solution for this, replace those two lines of code with these :
myBlend.Colors = New Color() {Color.FromArgb(232, 232, 240), Color.FromArgb(232, 232, 240), Color.FromArgb(232, 232, 240)}
myBlend.Positions = New Single() {0.0F, 0.5F, 1.0F}

rails generate scaffold Post title:string content:text
rake db:migrate
then we add the bootstrap to the application, open the Gemfile in the blog forder, and add the gem.
group :assets do
    gem 'twitter-bootstrap-rails'
end

How To Make A Simple Console Application In C#

this is a simple program to separate 6 digits from input, first you create string and name it (shim)  and you prompt the user to enter the number using console.write(); then you assign the user to input shim using the console.readline function so on you display each display/character using writeline , in this the argument comes after the comma in this argument

Console.WriteLine("First digit: {0}", shim.Substring(0,1));
shim.Substring(0,1) 

shim.substring(0,1) , when you use susbstring its going to read the string which is , the user input

console.readkey(); will keep the application awake

lets make the application , create a new project and select console application and name it whatever you want , add the codes below
using System;

namespace simple_console_application

{
        class Program

        {
                      static void Main(string[] args)

                {
                        string shim = "";

                        Console.Write("Enter a 6 digit Number: ");

                        shim = Console.ReadLine();

                        Console.WriteLine("First digit: {0}", shim.Substring(0,1));

                        Console.WriteLine("Second digit: {0}", shim.Substring(1, 1));

                        Console.WriteLine("Third digit: {0}", shim.Substring(2,1));

                        Console.WriteLine("Fourth digit: {0}", shim.Substring(3,1));

                        Console.WriteLine("Fifth digit: {0}", shim.Substring(4,1));

                        Console.WriteLine("Sixth digit: {0}", shim.Substring(5, 1));

                        Console.ReadKey();
                }

        }
}
now debug and see how it works , enjoy

                        label1.Text = Convert.ToString(num);
        }
   
you can even use a textbox instead label

How To Change Extensions In VB.NET

In this tutorial i'm going to tell you how to change file extensions.
     Dim type As String = ".mp4"
        MsgBox(TextBox1.Text + " is changed into a " + type + " file.")
        Dim oldFile As String = Mid(TextBox1.Text, 1, Len(TextBox1.Text) - 4)
        FileCopy(TextBox1.Text, oldFile + type)
How to use it:
You have a form containing: 2 buttons, 1 textbox (or combobox)
When you click button one you can say it must open a openfiledialog:
Dim ofd As New Openfiledialog
If ofd.showdialog = dialogresult.OK then
TextBox1.Text = ofd.filename
End If
If we click the button, a openfiledialog will appear and we can choose a file name and if we click on 'ok', then the textbox will contain the filename of the openfiledialog.
Now double click on the other button and fill in the code above.
That's it!

now debug and stop debugging and see the toolbox you will see something like this



add the tool "syntaxRTB" in to your form and you can replace it with richtextbox or textbox just rename it now debug and paste some codes inside the tool and it will work for sure .
