[VB] Need Help with something

[Raivu]

So I'm trying trk on my auto clicker program in VB (visual basics 2008 express edition) and I'm trying to find a way to pause/stop the program with a right-click of the mouse, so you're not auto clicking EVERYTHING while you're trying to bring it back up. (I had a pretty hectic time stopping it)

Could anyone help me with this? It'd be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I've tried

If e.keycode = keys.space then
timer1.stop()
End If

(Timer1 is the clicker)

And I've also tried the mouse functions, but I don't know a lot about those yet, so whether or not I was doing it correctly, I'm not sure.

Ive never really worked with the mouse much, BUT. You could try hotkeys. Such as, F2 to start, F3 to finish.

I dont have anything trk off right now, because I just reformatted and im learning PHP, but try googling for the code.

Hope i helped

I tried that, but I can't get the hotkeys trk.
In order to make a hotkey you need to dropdown to "keydown" and put in the code

e.keycode = keys.F1

Then put the IF function and all that jazz into it.

I'll look more online. Thanks for the help, Bman

No problem

If you need anymore help drop me a PM.

Also, check out for tutorials on youtube and google about hotkeys.

Thats what I done when I first started VB.Net

Instead of using " "

Try using {SPACE} or something, I cant remember it exactly.

you need the either key up or key down function added to your project which you can do by clicking your control, then the lightning bolt in properties, then find key up and double click it.

Example

     Private Sub Form1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyUp
        If (e.KeyData = Keys.Space) Then
            your function goes here
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

I've got that, but it still won't work.

Maybe because I used

e.keycode = keys.space
instead of
e.keydata = keys.space

Does it matter?

[Chad]

Yes, it does matter.

Wanna try:

    Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
        If Asc(e.KeyChar) = Keys.Space Then
            timer1.stop()
        End If
    End Sub

            timer1.stop()
        End If
    End Sub

what is Asc? and what does it do?

[Chad]

Asc is a key hook that is exactly like KeyUP or KeyDOWN event but global. It uses more memory to use and can drain you as well as has to be used in a timer. KeyUp or KeyDown is an event that doesn't need a timer yet it's not global.

By global, do you mean it uses key up, key down, mouse functions, etc. all at once without having to switch between them?
