Program don't recognize keystrokes

AgentOrange · Post by **AgentOrange** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 8:05 pm

Hi!
I have a problem with keystrokes. For example, I'm trying to make a macro to press enter, type "Hello", and press enter again, but the program recipient does not receive the keystrokes. The program is a game called ***. I was testing, but almost no keys function. Probe with enter, shit, ctrl, F1, F2, etc.. No way.
It's strange, because with another program called ********, works well but does not have imaging capabilities.
I leave a simple code example:

Code: Select all

SetFocus>***
WaitReady>0
Press Enter
wait>1
SendText>Hello!
wait>1
Press Enter

Sorry for my english and thanks.

@AgentOrange,

Good code, but instead try this.(Or something like it)

Code: Select all

SetFocus>ImperiumAO 1.4.9
Wait>5
Press Enter
wait>1
SendText>Hello!
wait>1
Press Enter

Wait 5 seconds is probably too long. But this is only for testing. Unless your running a 286. I hope not.

Good Luck,

Thanks for your answer.
The program detects the "Hello!" but not the Enter key. The same applies to other special keys such as Shift, Ctrl, F1, F2, etc..

It's strange

@AgentOrange,

I typed in the name and didn't get back a specific game. What game is it? Is it online or is it retail? Do you have a link?

Yes, it's a online game. The name is ** and the link is [url]http://www.**.com.ar/en/[/url]

I do not know if this helps, but in the program I previously used to send keystrokes, if I put simply did not work. To work properly should put:

(,0)
(,0)
And the same for other keys like Shift, Ctrl, or Fs

I've tried to put Press Enter and Release Enter, but does not work.

You can do this with keybd_event. Search the forums for keybd_event for examples.

I tried with the following code I found on the forum, but it does not work:

Code: Select all

SetFocus>**
WaitReady>0

Let>VK_control=13
Let>ExtendedKey=1
Let>KeyUp=2

Press Enter
LibFunc>user32.dll,keybd_event,r,VK_control,0,ExtendedKey,0
Wait>0.5
Release Enter
Let>FLAGS={%ExtendedKey% OR %KeyUp%}
LibFunc>user32.dll,keybd_event,r,VK_control,0,FLAGS,0

SendText>Hello!

Press Enter
LibFunc>user32.dll,keybd_event,r,VK_control,0,ExtendedKey,0
Wait>0.5
Release Enter
Let>FLAGS={%ExtendedKey% OR %KeyUp%}
LibFunc>user32.dll,keybd_event,r,VK_control,0,FLAGS,0

Here you are using KeyBd Event to send control and release control but not Enter. I thought the idea is that you use keybd_event to send/release the Enter key as well.

Is not 13 the code for the Enter key?
I've also tried the following, without success:

Code: Select all

SetFocus>**
WaitReady>0

Let>VK_RETURN=13
Let>ExtendedKey=1
Let>KeyUp=2

Press Enter
LibFunc>user32.dll,keybd_event,r,VK_RETURN,0,ExtendedKey,0
Wait>0.5
Release Enter
Let>FLAGS={%ExtendedKey% OR %KeyUp%}
LibFunc>user32.dll,keybd_event,r,VK_RETURN,0,FLAGS,0

SendText>Hello!

Press Enter
LibFunc>user32.dll,keybd_event,r,VK_RETURN,0,ExtendedKey,0
Wait>0.5
Release Enter
Let>FLAGS={%ExtendedKey% OR %KeyUp%}
LibFunc>user32.dll,keybd_event,r,VK_RETURN,0,FLAGS,0

I think the problem is the speed at which you press the enter key. With this code, not work very well, but at least recognize the enter key occasionally. I do not understand why it does not work with keybd_event. Is there any other way to control the speed similar to KeyDown or KeyUp?

Code: Select all

Label>Start
    Press ENTER * 200
    Wait>0.5
Goto>Start

EDIT:
Someone would have an example using SendMessage, PostMessage or SendInput instead of keybd_event?

Thanks

"sendtext" will try and press enter after the text is sent wich can cause problems instead try using "send" also sometimes you need to have a slight wait after the send before the enter is pressed
it looks like your issue is that.
i don't see why you would need to hold down the enter button
you could probably remove the wait>0.5 in between the press and release of enter
it looks like you just bringing up the chat bar and sending the text after its typed

link for vk_keys :
http://www.mjtnet.com/vkcodes.htm

here is how i would do it

Code: Select all

SetFocus>**


Let>VK_RETURN=13
Let>ExtendedKey=1
Let>KeyUp=2

Press Enter
LibFunc>user32.dll,keybd_event,r,VK_RETURN,0,ExtendedKey,0
wait>0.5
Release Enter
Let>FLAGS={%ExtendedKey% OR %KeyUp%}
LibFunc>user32.dll,keybd_event,r,VK_RETURN,0,FLAGS,0


Send>Hello!
wait>0.5

Press Enter
LibFunc>user32.dll,keybd_event,r,VK_RETURN,0,ExtendedKey,0
wait>0.5
Release Enter
Let>FLAGS={%ExtendedKey% OR %KeyUp%}
LibFunc>user32.dll,keybd_event,r,VK_RETURN,0,FLAGS,0
