Hello,
i built a small system-tray application that listens to a hotkey builds
a string and inserts the string to the active application using
SendKeys.Send()
The Problem is - this works only once. The hotkey is still o.k. (i also
copy the string to the clipboard, here I always get the correct string
that contains a timestamp) but sendkeys sends strange characters the
second time:
{}[}}[²
or
{}[}}[}
Depending on the active application sometimes the second time no string
at all is sent.
Can you please help me with this?
Thanks Alfred

I havent used sendkey for years, and i have always had problems, if you want
to put some text in somewhere you may be able to use the clipboard and send
the Windows Message the triggers a Paste.

Try using SendWait() instead of Send() in order to make sure the first group
of keys was processed by the receiver before sending another group.

I need to create a report in MS Word populated with data from A2K. I
have been asked to create the report in Word so that parts of it can be
edited as necessary later. The data in the report are in a table with
headings for each column, so converting an Access report to a Word doc
in RTF doesn't work because only the text is converted, not the table.
What I have tried so far, with some success, is to write the report
directly in Word....

Hi All,
I am trying to create a auto login program.
Below is the part of code, my issue is - the target form ( handle /
window ) usually didn't perform the key I sent from my C# program
correctly.
I think it should be timing issue, I add a delay there, but it seems
incorrect.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
