trying to manipulate an automation process

[kwei]

dear all.. my name is Kwei from malaysia m currently doing my final year honors project which is a smart voice enabled english learning tool for visual impaired kids.. using vb.net with microsoft agent to spice up the smartness of the system, i have a problem that i m not able to figure out...my desired output is to make the agent n the loop structure run the whole tutorial without user pressing any keypress to go to the next question. i had tried enabling n disabling the textbox but things just dun go rite... need help or advice my viva is coming real soon below are my code portion for the problem with comments of deisred output n problem faced.

[highlight=VB]/*on keypress ENTER key it is suppose to run on its on just like an automation turotrial
Case "SPACE"
mSpk2.Stop()
mSpk2.Speak("Here we go!!!!!")
Do Until loop_random = 10
generated_random_number = RandomNumber.Next(1, 26)
If RandomNumber.Next(1, 26) = 1 Then
mSpk2.Stop()
mSpk2.Speak("A is for?")
If strKeyPress.ToUpper() = "ENTER" And TextBox1.Text = "APPLE" Then/* when compiler reaches here it will straight go to the else result without even lettin me to input text into the textbox..i think this is where the real problem lies..hope anyone at all could give a hand or advice..it will be most appreciated"
mSpk2.Stop()
mSpk2.Speak("Bravo! A is for Apple.")
mSpk2.Speak("A,P,P,L,E Apple.")
loop_random = loop_random + 1
Else
mSpk2.Speak("Oops!! You are wrong!!!")
mSpk2.Speak("A is for Apple.")
mSpk2.Speak("A,P,P,L,E Apple.")
mSpk2.Speak("Next Question is ")
loop_random = loop_random + 1
End If
ElseIf RandomNumber.Next(1, 26) = 2 Then
mSpk2.Stop()
mSpk2.Speak("B is for?")
If strKeyPress.ToUpper() = "ENTER" And TextBox1.Text = "BALL" Then
mSpk2.Stop()
mSpk2.Speak("Bravo! B is for Ball.")
mSpk2.Speak("B,A,L,L Ball.")
loop_random = loop_random + 1
Else
mSpk2.Speak("Oops!! You are wrong!!!")
mSpk2.Speak("B is for Ball.")
mSpk2.Speak("B,A,L,L Ball.")
mSpk2.Speak("Next Question is ")
loop_random = loop_random + 1
End If

Welcome to VBF

Unfortunately, there's alot of important information that your code isn't telling us. FOr instance, how/when do you populate "strKeyPress?" Also, how/when is this snippet being called?
