ASCII code of CTRL button

[Discorez]

Somebody can to tell, what ASCII code of CTRL key for emulate pressing with Hardware lib?

I need to select all contents the TextBox -

   tbValue.Focus
   tbValue.SelectionStart = 0
   tbValue.SelectionStart = StrLength(tbValue.Text)

It dont work

If to emulate to press a Ctrl+A with Hardware lib, that needs to be made so:

        tbValue.Focus 'TextBox
   HW.KeyDown(17)
   HW.KeyPress(Asc("A")) 
   HW.KeyUp(17)

17 - is decimal value from hex value 0x11

VK_CONTROL (0x11)
CTRL key

URL from help - click
but it dont work too...

What exactly do you want to do ?

In your example, to select the whole text you should use:

tbValue.SelectionStart = 0
tbValue.SelectionLength = StrLength(tbValue.Text)
tbValue.Focus

Best regards.

tbValue.SelectionStart = 0
tbValue.SelectionLength = StrLength(tbValue.Text)
tbValue.Focus

klaus, it dont work - only moves the cursor to last position of a textbox

I ask my question once again: What do you want to do ?
Can you post your sbp file ?

tbValue.SelectionStart = 0
tbValue.SelectionLength = StrLength(tbValue.Text)

Selects the whole text, but unfortunately the text is not highlighted.

In the attached example you can see that with above code the text is selected.

Best regards.

In the attached example

It work.
Sorry, I find error in my code... It is very shame to me... :signOops:

But there is other question - how to emulate to press a Ctrl-button on keyboard, with Hardware lib?
HardWare.KeyDown(???)

 

[klaus]

You use two times tbValue.SelectionStart = in your code!
With your code you set in the first line the start at 0
and in the 2nd line you set the start at the end, the length remains 0.

I use
tbValue.SelectionStart = in the first line
tbValue.SelectionLenght = in the 2nd line

Best regards.

You should use HardWare.KeyDown(17) and HardWare.KeyUp(17)
to simulate pressing and releasing the Ctrl key.

You find the codes here: Virtual-Key Codes

Best regards.

Klaus, thanks, but I above wrote that code

    tbValue.Focus
    HW.KeyDown(17)
    HW.KeyPress(Asc("A")) 
    HW.KeyUp(17)

not work on my device. Why? I somewhere again was mistaken?

On my device, htc Touch HD, it doesn't work too.
This means that the TextBox Control doesn't support Ctrl A.
If you try to write Ctrl A into a TextBox with the standard keybord on the desktop or with the virtual keyboard on the device nothing happens.
Ctrl X, Ctrl Y, Ctrl V work.

Best regards.

If you try to write Ctrl A into a TextBox with the standard keybord ..... nothing happens.
Ctrl X, Ctrl Y, Ctrl V work.

Hmm... The very strange restriction...

Klaus, thank for help!
