[2005] Code for a keystroke

[Chael]

Can someone please tell me what the code is for a keystroke?

eg I was following a VB 6 tutorial on a program and it had this code in it:

SendKeys Text1.Text

it is supposed to type the text into the specified window of whatever text is in Text1 but I am assuming the SendKeys code has changed since VB 6 because it comes up an error now. Can some please post the VB 2005 code for the same axction?

System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("A")

I would suggest searching the MSDN before posting questions. It should show this method in the first few results.

System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send(Textbox1.text) ...in .net it's textbox not just text1

System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send(Textbox1.text) ...in .net it's textbox not just text1

Um, Textbox1, textbox, and text1 are just names that the programmer created. He can call it text1 all he wants.

I can name a TextBox MySuPeRaNnOyInGaLtErNaTiNgCaPsVaRbOx

System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send(MySuPeRaNnOyInGaLtErNaTiNgCaPsVaRbOx.Text) works just fine

thanks for all the help, I had never used msdn before but it semms helpful, from what i have used you dont actuall need the "system.windows.forms" part, just using "SendKeys.Send(textbox1.text)" worked for me
