Answer 3

See this example:

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Dim tb As New TextBox()

tb.Multiline = True

tb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill

Me.Controls.Add(tb)

Dim timer As New Windows.Forms.Timer

timer.Interval = 750

AddHandler timer.Tick, AddressOf myElapsed

timer.Start()

End Sub

Private Sub myElapsed()

SendKeys.Send("z")

End Sub

End Class

In this example, SendKeys will send the letter "z" to whatever control currently has focus(i.e. the textbox instantiated as tb), every 3/4 of a second.

Answer 4

uhh nope. can u please add code so that after the form opens it takes 120sec for it to start pushing Z, thanks

Answer 5

Ok fine .... hehe, in testing the sample code here, my app is putting a bunch of z's here in this post as I typed out my response... I found it amusing ....... [cough]......  Should meet the full requirements in your first post (with the exception of the target of the 'z' letters)  Click the button, and after 2 minutes, the z's start showing up every 3/4 of a second in the textbox.  Push F2, and it stops.

Public Class Form1

Private myTimer As New Windows.Forms.Timer

Private myDelay As New Windows.Forms.Timer

Private delayStart As DateTime

Private tb As New TextBox()

Private Button1 As New Button

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

tb.Multiline = True

tb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill

Me.Controls.Add(tb)

Button1.Dock = DockStyle.Top

AddHandler Button1.Click, AddressOf Button1_Click

Me.Controls.Add(Button1)

myTimer.Interval = 750

AddHandler myTimer.Tick, AddressOf myTimerTick

myDelay.Interval = 1

AddHandler myDelay.Tick, AddressOf myDelayTick

Me.KeyPreview = True

AddHandler Me.KeyDown, AddressOf myKeyDown

End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

delayStart = Date.Now

myDelay.Start()

End Sub

Private Sub myDelayTick()

Button1.Text = Date.Now

If (Date.Now >= DateAdd(DateInterval.Minute, 2, delayStart)) Then

myTimer.Start()

myDelay.Stop()

End If

End Sub

Private Sub myTimerTick()

tb.Focus()

SendKeys.Send("z")

End Sub

Private Sub myKeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs)

If (e.KeyCode = Keys.F2) Then

myTimer.Stop()

End If

End Sub

End Class

Keep in mind that the SendKeys.Send method will send the keys to the control that currently has focus, thats why I put the tb.focus() in myTimerTick().  If you want to send keys to another application, thats some more work you'll [cough] (or us) will have to do.

Answer 6

ALRITE i worked this out... to push z on a EXE open file!!! but some apps cause an error here it is :A first chance exception of type 'System.Security.SecurityException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll     SendKeys.Send("z") is highlighted in yellow

Answer 7

Please supply the detailed information about your scenario. Really thanks!

Let me make a couple of recommendations about asking questions.

1.) When you have a question about your code, post the code. No one can answer questions about why your code isn't working without seeing the code.

2.) When you have an error, specify exactly what the error is and where it occurs in the code. Minimize the use of pronouns because they are ambiguous.

Check security settings in your project:

1. Right click the project
2. Properties
3. Security ->What data is set here?

Also read Code Access Security for your reference.

Answer 10

right click => properties does nothing

Answer 11

Then your not right clicking on your project.

Answer 12

its coz ive already got the properties box open..

Answer 13

if the project properties tab is not the current tab, then  VS will switch to it when you right click the project and click properties.  Its not because the properties is already open.

Answer 14

now what

Answer 15

i dont want to bother with this app anymore.... consider it CLOSED

Answer 16

Thata boi, give up.  That way you dont progress, and simply remain at your current level.  I'll tell you right now, hacking maplestory or whatever it is, is not easy.... hacking any game is not easy. 


However, I've hacked runescape (for my own personal enjoyment in vb6, and again in c# simply to test my knowledge of certain hooks.  You will need to use the windows API.  Programming is not some run of the mill dime store technology.  It is incredibly involved, beyond what you can even possibly comprehend at your current level of experience.  Hopefully people will not assist you in hacking other peoples assets

Answer 17

ok so i wont give up, what do i need to do to make a auto looter for maple story that will go undetected?

Answer 18

hahahaha..... dude, this is soooo hard, you dont even know..... I only have the slightest clue on how to go about it.  I've read forums of auto hack programs ( I forget the name ;) ) where there were a million threads about kids trying to hack maplestory.  Your talking about looking at memory locations, reading hex, and tracking assembly language instructions like jmp....... The runescape hack I did simply allowed me to record mouse movements and click's.  Making things like auto miner's, and fishers, rapid spell casting (pretty cool in the wilderness.  I'd line up an opposing player in front of me, and activate my auto spell.  It would fire like a million fireballs at one click.  hahaha  anyways.... You wont (or shouldnt find an answer here, you need to search elsewhere)

Answer 19

so what i had wont work?

Answer 20

and why not

Answer 21

Because what your doing is potentially litigous, and morally wrong.  This is a Microsoft forum.  Hacking other people's assets, is for obvious reasons, WRONG!  and depending on the situation, ILLEGAL! 

Duh!  Do you ever read the license agreements for software you install?  Did you read the license agreement for maplestory?  Honestly, grow up!  Respect other's intellectual rights!  Now a days, big MMO accounts are worth money, and your looking at the possibility of going to prison!  You want that?  Believe you me, the fed's look at a small time hack just the same as they do a big time hack (last I heard anyway) and rightfully so!

Answer 22

ok then... i read somewhere auto looters just saved time and were 'leagal' and all they did was push z for you

Answer 23

I dont mean to be harsh (and appreciate the post marked as answered) but as a programmer, would you like someone else hacking your code? or stealing your money?  Of course the answer is no.  There is a degree of ethics involved in learning the technologies you are embarking on.  Across the internet, you'll find the criminal element just as you would in your real life day to day interactions.... Its your decision the path you follow..... but head this warning .... its a tenious path, and crossing the line can become like an addiction, until you find yourself in jail or under court order to stay away from computers for 10 years, and a 10,000 dollar fine.  Innocent hacking of maplestory is not so innocent, when you pause and just think about it for a moment.

If you havent noticed I absolutely HATE hackers.
