Jogwheel OSK Tool, but I'm stuck!

**ruairi** · 05-03-2005, 05:05 AM

I'm writing a small APP to replace the OSKs with a AUDI type jog wheel using the mouse scroller and left/right keys.

Here's what I've done so farhttp://www.rutlands.com/MouseKeyboard.exe

THe problem I have is sending the resulting text to the window below. I'm using VB.Net but there does not seem to be an easy way to do it.

If I get it working I'll skin it and make the letters configuratble for international characters.

A quick (crappy) solution is to use the sendkey command to send an alt+tab and then the key you want.
To get it to work the right way you have to get it so your app doesn't take focus.

The link works for me, it maybe your firewall or SP2 that is blocking it because ir's an .exe file. Right click and try "Save Target As...". Also it needs the .Net engine to run.

I tried the alt-tab sendkey but I think XP is blocking it, MSDN says they block it to keep Windows more consistent for users. I've seen some low level WIN32 tricks but I'd prefer to do it in managed code. I'll have a look at focus.
