Access the "global" focused control from C# app-.

Hi

Im trying to develop a C# application which interacts with a Fingerprint
scanner.

The appliaction is going to run in the background (and as trayicon).

When my applicatons catches an event from the finger scanner i want to paste
a text into "what ever active textbox control is focused" and the execute a
"press enter command". Eg. a focused textbox control in Internet Explorer.

1. Is this possible in pure managed C#? (If so what direction?)
2. If not. Can I do it unmanged through interop? (If so what direction?)

I really look forward to hear from you

Thanks in regards

You could try using the SendKeys class.

I have an array/hash that stores path information for my app. As in, what directory this is in, what directory that's in, what the name of the site is, what the products are called, etc. It's called $glb. So, every function so far looks like this: function something() { global $glb; }

Hi and Season's Greetings to all. I have a question regarding the use of a qualifier word "Global". I cannot find any reference to this in Access help, nor in books or on the Internet. "Global" seems to be recognised by Access in at least three cases:- 1) "Global Const". Recently someone in this group helped me resolve a problem, and it involved the use of a Global Const. By Googling "Global Const", I got plenty of hits -- but they...

Hello all, I might be missing something here, but am trying to understand the difference between using application-level variables--i.e. Application("MyVar")--and global variables--i.e. public myVar as string, etc. It seems to me that the scope and duration are the same, as they both are there while the application is running, and both go away when it quits. I presume that one difference is that the application state can be "flushed," such...

I am currently working on a project that I am interested in porting to Win32 or .NET, but I don't know where to get started.

I have this nasty problem with Shared methods and what I think of as "global storage" - i.e. storage declared outside of any subroutines or functions. In the simple example below this "global" storage is ButtonHasBeenClicked. In this simple example code in Form1 calls a routine in Module1 which then calls code back in Form1 (subroutine WhatEver). WhatEver needs to access ButtonHasBeenClicked but the reference to ButtonHasBeenClicked...

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
