arrays, variables and sendkeys

[troubleshoot]

Hello

i would like to try and make my own little autokey program with a little help, sure thiers plenty on the web..but i just want to make one realy, only difference is..instead of looping forever, i want to do it a specific amount of times, MAX

i need help with:

the interval timer and, (some macros i seen dont even select the process window to send the WORDS too but that would be nice)..but if i dont need it then i guess thats ok too any part ppl can help with will be great.

at the moment i just put a timer control, cmdbutton and texbox on a form.

dim max as integer
dim words as string

public sub command1_click()
for a = 0 to max

'how to send WORDS to a specific window and perhaps with a time delay.

next a
end sub

I highly suggest checking out AutoIt if you just want an easy and powerful sulution.. Its a POWERFUL macro language that eliminates all the API overhead stuff needed with VB.. Actually, there is an activex dll that allows you to easy use autoit functions in VB lickity split.. Macros compile to itty bitty exe's too..

ive almost finished it now, aint that great cud still need help, ill post in a while

Private Sub SendKeystrokes_Click()
      AppActivate txtprogram.Text
      For a = 0 To maxusers
      SendKeys phrase
      Next a
End Sub

this sends the keys to maxusers using an array, however i need help to implement a interval so thiers a delay between sending the next user the phrase.

There are a few ways.. Sleep(), or a While function like this:
nowtime = Timer
While Timer < nowtime + 1
DoEvents
Wend

a gr8 ill come back to that now, i got a new problem

AppActivate txtprogram.Text

that line works great, pops my internet explorer window up..but some websites have FRAMES, and my program dont work because..the mouse hasnt selected the input box. setfocus if u know what i mean

You're going to need to deal with API's and HWnds etc.. Great learning experience no doubt, but if you just want something working in 5 minutes, check out that AutoIt..
