[RESOLVED] Mouse MultiClicker

[v0lley]

Hi everyone this will be my first attempt at something in VB since I was at school and well I cannot remember a single thing from back then haha.

I wanted to start off with something simple and this is the easiest thing I can think off that you all might be able to help me with or just get started.

I want to write a small prog that binds the centre scroll click on my mouse to click a certain amount of times.

For example if I wanted to double click normally with the left mouse button to open a program I want the centre mouse button to take over just this once but when I click it once I want it to click 10 times at 92ms.

I want this function to be ON constantly when the program is running so whenever I need to use the middle mouse click it will use the left mouse click 10 times at 92ms.

Sorry for the confusing explanation but my brain doesn’t seem to be working to well at the moment haha.

Thank you for your time.

This isnt to cheat on some game where clicking faster makes you win or something is it...

[v0lley]

sigh, no its not I am a part business owner and I would like to be apart of some development but I need to start somewhere and I want to start small I wish I had time for games but I am trying to learn Java also.
I don't care how fast it clicks 10 seconds 1 minuet 1 hour 1 week I don't care.

What game would it be useful for anyway?

[chris128]

I dunno I dont play many games either but I am sure on some of those online games I have heard people say that some people cheat by using apps that make their mouse click faster etc.
It just seemed a bit of an odd idea to decide to start with thats all, I mean it serves no real purpose at all unlike building something simple like a basic text editor... but if thats what you want to make then thats fine each to their own.
Are you talking about clicking things within your application or outside of your app (ie, in external programs) ?

[v0lley]

Do these games make money? if so then I am very keen to make a clicker for them haha nah, Well I want to start off as simple as possible so in or out of an app is fine I thought starting off manipulating the mouse or keyboard would be the best place to start that way I can just play around.

I am off to bed for now have to get up in a few hours its 1:40am I will be back on around lunchtime in some spare time.

Thank you for your time so far.

[chris128]

Well to be honest, thats probably not the best place to start really in my opinion. Like I said, if you really want to make this app that clicks the mouse a lot then I dont mind helping but I think if you just want to start writing pretty much anything that you are going to learn from then something like a very basic text editor would be a much better starting place.
Do you know anything at all about programming in VB.NET so far? I mean, have you written any code at all? If not then I'd suggest following one of the many tutorials that you can find on the internet and then just trying to
expand on what they teach you by modifying the programs you make in the tutorials Of course if you get stuck and really cant figure out how to do something then post on here.

[v0lley]

Ok forget the multiclicker for now I am obviously wrong about starting there haha I have no idea where to start in VB.net so if you have somewhere nice and simple for me to start then by all means show me the path haha

and just to make sure I am using the correct VB I have downloaded this from the microsoft site its just VB Express Edition.

[chris128]

Yeah VB 2008 Express edition is what you want to be using if your just starting out
If you dont know anything at all about programming in VB then I think instead of us trying to teach you all of the basics you would be better off using an online tutorial such as this one: http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/NET/vbNET.html (feel free to try others but thats the first one I found and seems to cover quite a few important things).

Dont expect to understand everything straight away, it takes a long time to get to grips with a lot of the concepts etc in programming (well, it does for me anyway ). Also feel free to just play about with things, there's no harm in just creating your own project and doing whatever you want in it, then like I said if you get stuck you can post here and we will try and help

[v0lley]

Thank you very much Chris!

oh and I rated your post, thanks for putting me on the right track.

[chris128]

No problem thanks
Also, when you have got all the info from a thread that you need, you should go to the Thread Tools menu at the top of the first post you made in this thread and select Mark Thread Resolved. Its just to let other people know that the thread has been resolved so that we dont all go reading through loads of posts only to find that the original poster has already got everything they needed

[v0lley]

not a prob I will do that now.
