Simple But Professional Visual Basic Auto Typer

[shatayviamcduffie]

Good morning, there's one implement I want in my project which is an autotyper. Similar to the way KeyPass AutoTyper works, but less advanced disregarding sequences.

I'm trying to code an autotyper which when I press the start button it will simply just await for a text field(like SendKeys.Send), and it will send each character in the string to a text field in order and will stop the autotyper automatically once the entire string was sent.

I tried various methods including using for each character in a string sendkeys, but it always doesn't work properly. For an example, I run the project and go to the Auto Type Form, which is an external form using autotypeform.show, it also has topmost on it so when i go to a browser it's still visible, once you the click start button it starts the autotyper timer in main form, once i go to a text field(google.com search bar for an example) it will sendkeys but not the entire string or it will occasionally skip a character. Can someone please help?

NOTE: There is also a registered hotkey (ALT + T) to start the timer, and the timer interval is 1000, I tried 1-2000.

Private Sub autoTyper_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles autoTyper.Tick
       
        Dim Text As String = autoTypeForm.setText.Text

        'ATTEMPT 1
        'For i = 0 To autoTypeForm.setText.Text.Length - 1

        'SendKeys.Send(Text(i))

        'Next

        'ATTEMPT 2
        'Dim Counter As Integer

        'For Counter = 1 To Len(Text)

        'SendKeys.Send(Mid(Text, Counter, 1))

        'Next

        'ATTEMPT 3
        For Each c As Char In Text

            SendKeys.Send(c)

        Next

        autoTyper.Stop()

  End If
