Key Detection Help (VB)

[Ashwin.Star]

Hi Guys,

I am making some Tools,

Which will let us Modify the Data of Files like Carcols.dat, etc.

during game play so that we could Observe Which Value Shows Better effect & what effect.

 

So, I want to know !

What will make my Tool to get which Key is Pressed by user in The Game,

BCuz VB events like Key Down or Pressed Works only when form is in Focus,

 

Waiting for the Help ...

this is what need to done for it

 

add a timer to your form, lets say timer1

& add the following lines to your code

 

 

Public Class Form1   Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vKey As Integer) As Integer   Dim result As Integer   Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load       Timer1.Interval = 1       Timer1.Start()   End Sub   Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick       result = GetAsyncKeyState(Keys.Back) ' or can be written as 8 (Backspace), Vkey       If result = 0 Then           GoTo ext       Else           Timer1.Stop()'Here is what to do if that key is Pressed ''example this message           MsgBox("Backspace")       End Ifext:       Timer1.Start()   End SubEnd Class
