I´m trying to simulate a mouse click when certain key is pressed.
I tried this:
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
public static extern void mouse_event(long dwFlags, long dx, long dy, long cButtons, long dwExtraInfo);
private const int MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = 0x02;
private const int MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = 0x04;
private const int MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN = 0x08;
private const int MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP = 0x08;
private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
switch (e.KeyCode)
{
case Keys.Insert:
Point pt = Cursor.Position;
int X = Cursor.Position.X;
int Y = Cursor.Position.Y;
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN, X, Y, 0, 0);
break;
}
It doesn't seems to be working, and I couldn't find any other solution.
First make sure the Form KeyPreview property is set to True
To do the click simulation you need to call MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN and MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP like so. (also notice i use uint along the way)
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
public static extern void mouse_event(uint dwFlags, uint dx, uint dy, uint cButtons, uint dwExtraInfo);
private const int MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = 0x02;
private const int MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = 0x04;
private const int MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN = 0x08;
private const int MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP = 0x10;
private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
switch (e.KeyCode)
{
case Keys.Insert:
int X = Cursor.Position.X;
int Y = Cursor.Position.Y;
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN | MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP, (uint)X, (uint)Y, 0, 0);
break;
}
}

I am trying to make a program (C#) which do this:
If I click my left mouse button the mouse should move to the left by a DeltaX.
The problem is that when I run the program, it simple opens the console application and nothing happens. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.
It should keep running and checking if I click the left mouse button or not, and when I click it, the cursor should move to the left by a DeltaX.
code
using System.Data;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace Teste
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var someClass = new Up();
someClass.Update();
}
}
public class Up
{
[DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern short GetAsyncKeyState(int vKey);
[DllImport("USER32.dll")] static extern short GetKeyState(int nVirtKey);
int msShootTime = 225;
System.DateTime lastClick = System.DateTime.Now;
bool isRunning = true;
public async void Update()
{
while (true)
{
if (isRunning)
{
await Task.Delay(10);
continue;
}
int res = GetKeyState((int)1);
if (res >= 0)
{
await Task.Delay(1);
continue;
}
Move(-10, 0, true);
}
}
private const int MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = 0x02;
private const int MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = 0x04;
private const int MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN = 0x08;
private const int MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP = 0x10;
[DllImport("user32.dll")]

public void Move(int xDelta, int yDelta, bool pressDown = false)
{
if (pressDown)
{
if (System.DateTime.Now.Subtract(lastClick).TotalMilliseconds < msShootTime)
{
pressDown = false;
}
else
{
lastClick = System.DateTime.Now;
}
}
mouse_event(pressDown ? (MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP) : 0x0001, xDelta, yDelta, 0, UIntPtr.Zero);
}
}
}
Some mistakes were in code, I've added some comments directly to code

Note: Microsoft recommends using SendInput instead of mouse_event.
This function has been superseded. Use SendInput instead.
I just want to do real minimized, all public codes are not minimizing in right way! It just minimize it as shown, but not minimize like if I click on Minimize button. How did I know that? Or what benefit will I get from that? When I press on minimize button, it reduce from CPU usage! (It's a game anyway.)
My code is :
[DllImport("User32.Dll", EntryPoint = "PostMessageA", SetLastError = true)]
public static extern bool PostMessage(IntPtr hWnd, uint msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);
List<int> ProcIDs = new List<int>();
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (Process process in Process.GetProcesses())
{
if (process.ProcessName == "League of Legends")
{
// MinimizeWindow((IntPtr)hProcess);
if (!ProcIDs.Contains(process.Id))
{
IntPtr hProcess = GetProcessWindow(process.Id);
ProcIDs.Add(process.Id);
PostMessage(hProcess, WM_SYSCOMMAND, (IntPtr)SC_MINIMIZE, IntPtr.Zero);
}
}
}
}
const int WM_SYSCOMMAND = 274;
const int SC_MINIMIZE = 0xF020;
I also tried other methods and it does the same, just minimize as show, but not real minimize! :)
You can try this
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern bool ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, WindowShowStyle nCmdShow);
with window style as ShowMinimized = 2,

I'm trying to use the Sendkeys to simulate the Windows start key, but none of the options I tried work, does anybody know how can it be done?
CODE
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll")]
private Thread thrTyping;
private void startThread()
{
ThreadStart ts = new ThreadStart(sendKeys);
thrTyping = new Thread(ts);
thrTyping.Start();
}
private void sendKeys()
{
// TEST 1
Thread.Sleep(5000);
SendKeys.SendWait("(^)"+"{ESC}");
// TEST 2
Thread.Sleep(5000);
SendKeys.SendWait("{LWin}");
}
Use keybd_event instead:
private const int KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY = 0x1;
private const int KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = 0x2;
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern void keybd_event(byte bVk, byte bScan, uint dwFlags, int dwExtraInfo);
private static void PressKey(byte keyCode)
{
keybd_event(keyCode, 0x45, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY, 0);
keybd_event(keyCode, 0x45, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY | KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
}
List of KeyCodes (The one you are looking for is 0x5B - left win key)
I have a ListBox with SelectionMode = MultiExtended. I want the default behavior for the ListBox to be "append". In other words, the behavior you get when holding down the control key should be the default, passive functionality for the ListBox.
How would I do this? Do I need to subscribe to the "Mouse Down" and "Key Down" events manually? Is there a setting I'm missing?
Thanks.
Ugly solution but the best I could do.
[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern void keybd_event(byte bVk, byte bScan, int dwFlags, int dwExtraInfo);
public const byte KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = 0x02;
public const int VK_CONTROL = 0x11;
private void listBox1_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
keybd_event(VK_CONTROL, (byte)0, 0, 0);
}
private void listBox1_MouseLeave(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
keybd_event(VK_CONTROL, (byte)0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
}
Use MultiSimple Mode

SelectionMode = SelectionMode.MultiSimple
it's a standard windows function that the display goes into sleep mode after the configured time. is it somehow possible to send the display into sleep mode immediately from a c# .net application in windows 7? i've already tried one thing i found but it didn't work for me.
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, UInt32 Msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, ExactSpelling = true)]
public static extern IntPtr GetDesktopWindow();
private const int SC_MONITORPOWER = 0xF170;
private const UInt32 WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x0112;
private const int MONITOR_ON = -1;
private const int MONITOR_OFF = 2;
private const int MONITOR_STANBY = 1;
public static void DisplayToSleep()
{
var hWnd = GetDesktopWindow();
var ret = SendMessage(hWnd , Constants.WM_SYSCOMMAND, (IntPtr)Constants.SC_MONITORPOWER, (IntPtr)Constants.MONITOR_OFF);
}
hWnd seems to have a valid value but ret is always 0.
thx, kopi_b
This works fine in a WinForms application:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private int SC_MONITORPOWER = 0xF170;
private uint WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x0112;
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SendMessage(this.Handle, WM_SYSCOMMAND, (IntPtr)SC_MONITORPOWER, (IntPtr)2);
}
}
The problem seems to come from the GetDesktopWindow function.
You need to use HWND_BROADCAST instead of the desktop window handle to ensure that the monitor powers off:
private const int HWND_BROADCAST = 0xFFFF;
var ret = SendMessage((IntPtr)HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SYSCOMMAND, (IntPtr)SC_MONITORPOWER, (IntPtr)MONITOR_OFF);
I have Visual Studio 2010 and Windows 7 and created a Windows Form Application with a 'Sleep' and 'Hibernate' button. The following worked for me:
private void Sleep_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
bool retVal = Application.SetSuspendState(PowerState.Suspend, false, false);
if (retVal == false)
MessageBox.Show("Could not suspend the system.");
}
private void Hibernate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
bool retVal = Application.SetSuspendState(PowerState.Hibernate, false, false);
if (retVal == false)
MessageBox.Show("Could not hybernate the system.");
}
