When using Sendkeys with vb.net, is it possible to tell if the target of the Sendkeys has changed between sendings?
Thank you for your help!
No. But if you have control over the target, you can control where the SendKeys goes by Activating your target before the SendKeys.

I'm trying to restore a minimize active window app after using AppActivate by using SendKeys, however the option did popup but it didn't click the "Restore".
I believe this can be done by using Windows API, but to be honest, I don't know anything about that, so hopefully someone can help this problem so that I can use in VBA.
Below code is the example, New Folder currently minimize and I want to Restore(Open) and then screenshot.
Thanks!
AppActivate ("New Folder"), True
Application.SendKeys "(% )(R)"
Application.SendKeys "(%{1068})"
I have created a button in a excel sheet that opens the Find menu (ctrl+f).
Sub Button6_Click()
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFormulaFind).Show
End Sub
After the search is done and one closes this menu excel doesn't respond anymore and closes itself. Any ideas why?
Also, I don't get the exact same find dialog as when I use ctrl+f. Is there maybe a way to use keyboard-functions in vba?
Why not use ctrl+f instead of the button. Because my colleagues are not quite good with excel and that already is too much to remember for them :)
This is how to mimic a key press in VBA ^ is Ctrl
Sub Button6_Click()
Application.SendKeys ("^f")
End Sub
I am automating a process in my office, and saving a pdf file is part of it. So how can I save it? I need to press Ctr+Shift+s ..
I see solutions here but its in java. Looking for anyone who can share ways on how to simulate this. Also tried SendKeys but I can't pull Ctr and Shift.
SendKeys "S"
SendKeys "{TAB}"
this types "S", tab, well its tabs to the next control. But {CONTROL} , {SHIFT} does not work.
Is this possible? Or are there other ways to do this?
The keyboard modifiers have a special syntax, see the documentation.
Ctrl + Shift + s = SendKeys "^+s"
I'm looking for a way to simulate a click on a button (Synchronize All) from an addin (http://visguy.com/vgforum/index.php?topic=6086.msg24731#msg24731) in the ribbon toolbar of Visio within VBA-Code.
Please look at this picture for understanding: http://img4.picload.org/image/cpcgidr/ribbon.png
A pragmatic approach of mine was to use the "sendkeys"-function, because it's easy and sufficient. The problem with this approach is, i cannot navigate to the main-button (marked as 3. in the picture) by using the shortcuts "ALT+V" and "B" via sendkeys, i'm only able to navigate to the "conflicts panel" button as a subitem of "Synchronize All" (marked as 2. in the picture).
Does somebody have an idea how to click on the main-button (marked as 3. in the picture) via sendkeys or in a different way?
I'm just use this:
SendKeys "%v", True
SendKeys "b", True
SendKeys "{ENTER}", True
Please help me out with this, i've googled a lot without any results...
Best regards
Joerg
The author of that tool has implemented that trigger into that programm an has recompiled it, as you can see here: http://unmanagedvisio.com/products/backsync-backward-visio-data-synchronization/
in vb.net i want to do a sendkeys for the down arrow. what is the code?
' make sure you have this at the top:
Imports System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys
' and then you can use this:
SendKeys.Send("{DOWN}")
Go here for more examples and detailed information about SendKeys in VB.Net
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.sendkeys(VS.71).aspx
While I won't question why, you can see this article on MSDN says you send "{DOWN}"
Specifically:
SendKeys.Send("{DOWN}")
