Sendkeys

[eiaitalia]

Need to create a keyboard wedge driver receiving a barcode string from the serial port and sending in keyboard emulation to the active window.

simply need to send keystrokes from my application (running in background) to the active window.

I tried the example below found in another tread and slightly modified to try it...

The problems is that return an error on the obj.createnew (if I remove such row the program run but obviously doesn't work).

Could you help ? or could you suggest any better way to send keys to active window.


Sub Globals
'Declare the global variables here.

End Sub

Sub App_Start
Form1.Show
obj.New1(False)
obj.CreateNew("System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys" & obj.System_Windows_Forms)
End Sub

Sub Button1_Click
obj.RunMethod2("Send","A","System.String") 'send A key.
End Sub

I am afraid that the SendKeys object only exists on the desktop. It is not available on devices.

Thanks for your reply, but do you have any other suggestion to solve my problem ?

What can I try to send keystrokes from my hidden app to the active window ?
