AutoConnecting to ISP when computer boots up! having problems SENDING KEYS, help!

[struntz]

hello!
I'm having troubles with this Program i am working on. Some guy gave me the code to see if its possiable with API,
and this is what he gave me but it wont' send the right Password.
I checked and it only sent 5 chars and my password has 6; and it only works somtimes.
Like the other times it doesn't have focus and when it usses the SENDKEY and it presses ENTER, nothing is highlighted so nothing happens, it just brings up the ISP connection screen, so here is the code:

Private Declare Function RegOpenKeyEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegOpenKeyExA" (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, ByVal ulOptions As Long, ByVal samDesired As Long, phkResult As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function RegCloseKey Lib "advapi32.dll" (ByVal hKey As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function RegSetValueEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegSetValueExA" (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpValueName As String, ByVal Reserved As Long, ByVal dwType As Long, lpData As Any, ByVal cbData As Long) As Long
Private Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
Private Const ERROR_SUCCESS = 0&
Private Const REG_SZ = 1
Private Const KEY_SET_VALUE = &H2

Private Sub Main()
    Call SetProgramStartup("MyProg", "C:\MyProg.exe")
End Sub

Public Function SetProgramStartup(pProgramName As String, pProgramPath As String) As Boolean
    Dim lKeyHandle As Long
    Dim lRet As Long
    Dim strBuffer As String
    Dim strKey As String
    
    strKey = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
    lRet = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKey, 0, KEY_SET_VALUE, lKeyHandle)
    If lRet = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
      lRet = RegSetValueEx(lKeyHandle, pProgramName, 0, REG_SZ, ByVal pProgramPath, Len(pProgramPath))
      RegCloseKey lKeyHandle
    End If
End Function
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim X
'"ConnectionName" is the name under the icon in Dial-up Networking
X = Shell("rundll32.exe rnaui.dll,RnaDial " & "ConnectionName", 1)
DoEvents
'You can type in your password before the { below.
SendKeys " asdfks  {enter}", True
DoEvents
Unload Me
End
End Sub

Thanks for listening, if you know how to fix my problem please post it! and thanks to the other guy(i forgot yoru screen name)but thanks for the code!


PS: I put in a fake Password of course and i usually put in the COnnectionName but, say if that was my real password it only sends 5 out of the 6 keys, whats going on ? oh and the one who gave me the code was Mike Gates or somthing?hes a guru, so thanks

This thread, you are referring to.

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim X
X = Shell("rundll32.exe rnaui.dll,RnaDial " & "ConnectionName", 1)
DoEvents
SendKeys "asdfks {enter}", True 
'SendKeys " asdfks  {enter}", True 'here, you have extra spaces
DoEvents
Unload Me
End
End Sub

Not sure if that'll work or if you just made a mistake of spacing, but try it.

OH so there should be no spaces?
So it should be like this,

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim X
'"ConnectionName" is the name under the icon in Dial-up Networking
X = Shell("rundll32.exe rnaui.dll,RnaDial " & "Keystone Internet Access", 1)
DoEvents
'You can type in your password before the { below.
SendKeys "asdfwe{enter}", True   'no spaces 
DoEvents
Unload Me
End
End Sub

One space. Like this:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim X
X = Shell("rundll32.exe rnaui.dll,RnaDial " & "Keystone Internet Access", 1)
DoEvents
SendKeys "asdfwe {enter}", True
DoEvents
Unload Me
End
End Sub
