Coding Snacks / Re: ControlZ x times
« Last post by KodeZwerg on September 14, 2020, 02:18 AM »
Why the limit is 99 keystrokes ?
Since I've thought 99 would be okay as a maximal value.
If I need to undo more that 99 times I have done something wrong was my thought.
In my newest edition "SendKeys32" there is also that limit but you have a hotkey to invoke "Send again".
You find SendKeys32 inside N.A.N.Y. 2021 forum.

In that edition it is also alot easier finding correct target, I've heavily used filters  :-*

Enjoy  :Thmbsup:

SendKeys32 (c) by KodeZwerg


Version: 0.0.1.10
Version: N.A.N.Y. Edition


Q: Whats the point?
A: This application may be used to Send Keys x times to other applications.


Details:
Base Idea and Initiator: Contro (requested to send CTRL-Z x times)
Translation of that idea into programming code: KodeZwerg
It uses alot of Windows Api code to do its job.
Due the kind of what it is and does, it may be listed as virus/trojan.
(c) Delphi wrappers from Waldemar Derr are used.


Limitations:
All customizable Keys are limited to Windows Api Virtual Keys.
If you need more keys, i should get scancode information.
Windows default fontsize will by used.


Known Bugs:
auto refresh sometimes dont let you scroll correctly within listview.
since you can not send directly keys to any application in a unique way,
I do utilize SendInput().
SendInput() does write my stuff into keyboard driver like you would type them.
Due to that, if my application try to send keys, and some other application
gets into foreground at this moment, my input will be received by that window
and not the window that you have selected.
Some programs work slowly, if you encounter such take advantage of configuration
and increase the "Time in milliseconds between Send Keys" value.
Feel free to find a good working value for your system, 100-200 should be fair.
You should not go lower than 25 ms anyway it is unlocked down to 1 ms.
My application can not be controlled just by keyboard.


feature History, oldest to newest:
added a listview as a selection box
added EnumWindow() to fill listview
added icons for listview
added SendInput() button to send static keys
added loop posibility
redesigned everything for a nany release
stripped down listview to hold only window captions
exported further information into own fields
switched to Delphi wrappers (c) by Waldemar Derr
added auto refresh
added customizable filters with my defaults
added full customizable "Send ShortCut" editor
added full customizable "HotKey" editor
added "only one instance can be run" due HotKey feature
added some hotkey actions
added configuraton page
added customizable delay between Send Keys
added window always on top on/off
added about page


Enjoy another working application by KodeZwerg.

Google for a tutorial "ShellExecute/Ex() example", ShellExecute/Ex() is a Windows Api method (from shell32.dll) not a executable file that you can invoke.

Do you mean the keys to send should be configurable or that my program has a configurable hotkey?
Yes and yes.
Ouch and Okay.... a micro bit too late for todays release what might be last release.
Configurable Keys that can be send I will integrate if that what I today present is useable at all.
My own application and Hotkey there might be a chance that I integrate such aswell even if for myself I consider it very dangerous.
(pressing hotkey while wrong process is/was selected might end bad...)






SendKeys (c) KodeZwerg

Version: 0.0.0.1
Version: Contro-Edition
Version: working Alpha

Q: Whats the point?
A: This application will send keys to any third-party target application.

Manual:
1. Start application. Try 32 or 64 bit to find your target.
2. Choose by Icon or Executable or Title a target process.
3. Adjust loops.
4. Push "Send CTRL-Z to selected" if you think you know what you are doing.

Personal Comments:
I do not know if I am able to continue this project.
Because of that you get what I have done so far.
Why I might step-back from this project:
To track 32 and 64 bit processes within one build is for me ATM not possible.
I would need to invest time to that matter, what I currently can not spend.
Filter out more "unwanted" results needs also more research.

Warning:
I do not much error checking in that programming state (alpha),
during that stage I do push up code to do what I want.
Due to that,
if you have selected a wrong Item it might result in strange Windows behavior!!!
If I did not told you that,
if you have selected a wrong Item it might result in strange Windows behavior!!!
That said, if you select correct Item and press button all should work flawless.
Anyway, do not blame me for errors.

Limitations:
for now the only keys that will be send are "CONTROL + Z".
my application does not have it's own hotkey by now, so don't search.
32 bit build works for 32 bit applications,
64 bit build works for 64 bit applications.
loop range is from 1 up to 99.
listview does not autoupdate itself, you must re-run my application.

How it works:
1. Gather all Window-Handles together
2. Filter out alot of unwanted entries
3. collect more info for remaining entries
4. fill results in a listview
5. wait for user to select something
6. wait for user to press button
7. execute my sendkey method
7-1. bring target process window to foreground
7-2. send keys to whatever window is in foreground
7-3. jump to 7-1 until loop ends
8. done.


//edit
ps: for now it is still overloaded with too much results, thats why I also added "Title" "Handle" and "PID" so you may determine the correct process.

Here you see 64 bit in action where I have choosen Notepad as my target.

An odd bug just showed up...
Since i can not reconstruct your hardware setup, still searching to "blind-fix" it, I might have found a possible victim.
Is your Windows configured for "One-Click" actions? iE: one left click on icon results in windows open/run icons target.
Or that might be another bug that could occur :-\

Yesterday I was thinking about reorganizing.
The most basic system of organizing in windows may be the folders.
I would say yes & no  :'(

Folders are meant to seperate products.
Organizing them for that Windows offers Libraries.
There you end up using "virtual folder names or descriptions" to quick jump/open/run/edit/whatever there.

Install a programming language of your choice and use windows api ShellExecute() or ShellExecuteEx() to run external applications within your program.  :Thmbsup:

I'm not a programmer so I don't know if this is possible, but I think the solution might be to ensure that all of the graphics objects reference the x.y coordinates of monitor 1.  Make sure that none of them reference the coordinates of the "work space" or the "desktop area."  I don't know.... Like I said I'm not a programmer!   :D
When next week a .ini-fixed version is uploaded, I will integrate a switch in .ini, to test out different mechanism.

@KodeZwerg if you start anything for this, please allow configurable hotkeys for sending the undo/redo commands.

Do you mean the keys to send should be configurable or that my program has a configurable hotkey?

Interesting if you can apply to any program.
What I would do works for every application, if target support ctrl-z or not, I can not pre-check, my app just send the keys to that application.
(same like you press in that target ctrl-z, either it does or dont, but bad things should not happen)

My guess is: key sender first public release will be delivered on monday.

I am doing something wrong.  :-[

How can i see the rights of any executable ?
-Contro

You are doing everything just correct. Just run the .exe to see results. In your case I can tell that my Application is not running elevated.

If you are confused "for what the heck do i need such", developers may know the issue of "with wich rights does my application runs others".
If you still have no clue, simply code an application that execute my application :-)

Thanks alot for info about .ini problem!
Even if it dont appear on my machine, I will investigate, hopefully fix it and redo my mechanism to never need any write permissions anymore at all. (hello %appdata%)

What's fascinating by watching your GIF (that really helps!) is the fact that your build uses a rectangle technique that I allready dropped, just guessing: bad code from my side.
I will check it out!

If it might help, I could program you a little tool.

Program that I have in my mind:
1. When starting, my tool show all processes, select one to connect to that process.
2. After a process is selected, enter number of loops.
3. click "Go", done.

What would happen is:
1. my program connect to any target you selected
2. my program send "number of loops" times a CONTROL+Z to target.
3. my program closes.


Would that be useful/solve your problem?

I don't think this is working.   Maybe I'm doing it wrong?  I have changed autosave=0 to autosave=1 in the ini file.  Still it does not save to opacity.  I am using Win 10. 

If you followed my, okay i admit it is strange to read, short manual, all would be fine.

More detailed explaination to let AutoSave=1 work like it should be:
1. put the .exe and the .ini  not in a windows protected folder
   on my system i have a "Tools" partition where windows aint the boss.
   example: F:\Tools\RaptureReplica
2. edit and save the .ini with AutoSave=1
3. run the .exe = all will be fine

if running from/within windows protected folders (like c:\programs\), my .exe need administrator rights be able to write.

if it is to hard to handle to have autosave enabled, i can rewrite the .ini part to save in %appdata% folder, just ask for.
(currently my application has no uninstaller, thats why i do not use %appdata% for now)

Version numbering i will integrate with next release, currently are just 3 public builds made so far.
2 x beta, 1 x final (the current build)

Thank you kunkel321 to explain Contro for what this application is made for.
@Contro, as written in Post #1 i will never add "save image" capability, even if its just a few lines of code, that would violate with screenshotcaptor from mouser.
@Contro some text from you my translator simply just answered with "?", if i missed an important line, please repeat, no offense.

No hard feelings but as more you write as less I understand, I am really sorry.

I hope skwire (or inventor of that particular app) is able to help you.
If it should end up to create a complete new application, what I could do I wrote.

I only want CreateShortCutsIn working under windows 10 !!!!!!
i took a look on
this message images

is the point, you want to have a context menu entry with variable destination where a shortcut will be created?
if so, my question was meant somehow like this: is that a request for a new application?
i would startover from scratch and it would end in something like this:
application.exe runs without parameters = setup screen where you can enable/disable context menu.
application.exe with parameters = create shortcuts (started by context menu, not manual)

I am using the latest copy of UrlSnooper portable (just downloaded it today)  nothing shows up when viewing YouTube videos, nothing shows up when click play on this page (https://www.soundboa.../star_trek_ringtones)  I went to a different site that had some religious music on the page that you could click play on (i forget what site it was) and nothing showed up in the upper portion of this software but there's a LOT of activity on the bottom portion of this software.   https://imgur.com/a/2VSvmnq

I do not know the portable version of url-snooper, but what aint portable as far as i know is the packet driver.
I recommend use those: Npcap

Now I've made my threat true   :huh:

Changes:
 - slimmed down ini file support added
 - multi monitor support added
 - inverted colors optional activatable

Please read first post manual again to learn new keyboard and mouse commands.

I wish you a great time with that hopefully final version of mine.

Caution to ini support!

//edit
known bug:
  my new rectangle-style may frame-flicker a bit, i am sorry for that.
