    Problem putting data in other program

    Dear Friends.

    I am a VB.Net Programmer. I have attached a picture of yahoo Messenger with this Thread and highlighted the 2 text fields and a button with red line.
    The problem is that I have seen a small program in the computer of my friend. When He double clicked on that program, it (program) automatically puts the User ID and Password in Yahoo Messenger relevant fields and automatically presses the Login Button. I have tried much to get the source code of that program, but cant.
    Can some one tell me that what code he has used to do that.

    Waiting For Reply.

    This is the same poster who was asking about keylogging earlier. In another earlier post, he indicates he is a beginner to VB.Net

    Perhaps he might explain to us exactly what he is trying to do, as a beginner, that involves both Keylogging, AND programmatically retrieving log-in information and attempting to log in (to messenger or anything else) . . .

    Brothers.
    You are all suspecting me. I am not trying to do any think like spamming or hacking. I am only a VB.Net programmer and I want to Learn only programming.
    Now I tell you the real story.
    There are some VB.Net programmers in my area, who are much experts in VB.Net. They have made a group, But they do not share their knowledge with any one. So, They make excellent programs in VB.Net and most of their programs are out of my mind. They always degraded me by showing their programs and challenging me. Although, I have passed about 1 Year in working in VB.Net, But I cant understand that what code they have used in their programs.

    When I share this problems with my friends, One of my friend told me that vbforums.com is a good plate form, which will answer you each of your problem.
    The above given problem is one of them. They made a program which puts the user id and password in yahoo messenger and hits the log in key automatically. So, I shared this problem here.
    But Here I am wondering that how i am being behaved here. Every one is thinking me a spammer or a hacker.
    I hope you have understood my problem.

    maybe they are a "group" of hackers/spammers?

    ever try asking them how they learned? get a good book, read up on the basics, apply them to small projects, read this forum starting with Thread #1. That should keep you busy for a while and you'll learn a lot.

    A lot of times I'll read thread topics that I'm fairly good at, and someone will post a nifty trick or something that I didn't know about.

    You won't learn by someone showing you code. You must understand the logic, or logical possibilities surrounding a problem.

    Break down the yahoo one:
    You obviously need to "find" the yahoo window right? google "vb.net find application window"

    You'll need to send keys to another application's window right? google "vb.net send keys"

    You'll need to click a button in another applicaiton. see above

    half the battle is knowing how you want to sovle the problem, syntax comes last.

    You may or may not be what you say. But I am saying, for my money, there is only ONE purpose for code which does what you describe. I can think of NO other reason for an application which finds log in information, places it in an already open log-in window, and automatically initiates the log-in process.

    Especially a log-in window such as the one you post, where the user can opt to have the window "remember" their credentials. Why wouyld they need the added step of double-clicking this other app, just to fill in the log-in information? Either they have you duped, or you think we are gullible.

    Think about it. A program such as that, combined with a store of key logs, could be set to run all night attempting to find the right combination. And that is my simplistic concept - I am quite certain there are more efficient, effective means of hacking into peoples accounts.

    I'm not buying it. If you want to learn to program, do like StateOfIdleness suggests, and like a lot of us ARE. Get some books. Start at the beginning. Oh, and when you hear some of us suggesting you might be barking up an offensive tree, STOP, and find another project. Don't persist in asking for pointers on things which have all the appearance of being malicious.

    Also, find some new friends. The nice group you refer to sound like they are, indeed, spammers and/or malicious hackers and/or identity thieves.

    I hope to see you around the forums, learning this stuff the frustrating, challenging way. Starting with simple code, getting chewed out for not thinking it through before aasking, and taking gentle (and sometimes "not-so-gentle" criticism from some of the fantastically knowledgeable folks on here. But if you continue on this path, you will not make any friends.
