An easy VB 2010 Send and Gettext Sample

String i did that 🙂 still when it was out of focus it didn’t work, aigh i think this is what you guys mean to do I added this code

Private Function SendTextHandle() As Integer

Dim iPHnd As Integer



iPHnd = mdlGetHnd.SubFormHndByClassNameWithMWClassWithPartialMWCaption(mdlPalInfo.ChatRoomClass, Me.CtrlRoomSelector1.RoomName, mdlPalInfo.SplitterClass, mdlPalInfo.SplitterIndex)

SendTextHandle = mdlGetHnd.SubFormHndByClassNameWithMWHnd(iPHnd, mdlPalInfo.ChatTextClass, mdlPalInfo.SendTextIndex)

Debug.Print("SendTextHandle - " & SendTextHandle) ' for testing

End Function

Sub TxtSendPal(ByRef DisHere As String)

Dim iHnd As Integer

'Send Text

iHnd = SendTextHandle

SendMessageByString(iHnd, WM_SETTEXT, 0, DisHere)

SendMessage(iHnd, WM_KEYDOWN, 13, 0)

End Sub

And I call it with

      TxtSendPal((ChatRTB1.Rtf))

ChatRTB1.Focus()

But the text in the rooms comes out with the char thingy like this

{rtf1ansiansicpg1252deff0deflang1033{fonttbl{f0fnilfcharset0 Tahoma;}}
{colortbl ;red255green0blue0;red146green0blue109;red36green0blue219;}

}

Here how it is now 🙂

Hey Auto, I know you gonna work on the selecting nick thing next, but I got a quick question this code in your quickkeys program the module

Are you suppose to call it with this function?

  Function FindNic() As String

Dim iHnd As IntPtr = mdlGetHnd.SubFormHndByClassNameWithMWClassWithPartialMWCaption(mdlPalInfo.ChatRoomClass, Me.CtrlRoomSelector1.RoomName, mdlPalInfo.NicListClass, mdlPalInfo.NicListIndex)

Return mdlSysListView.GetSLVSelectedItem(iHnd)

End Function

By using this command
FindNic(nick.text) To select the nick?

lol Duh 🙂 i see it now, K I just wait til ya update to select the nick than, cause that sht is hard 🙄

That sounds better and less code, but still it be cool to get the nicks from the nick list room for other stuff.

Working perfectly Thanks alot, now i can finish the paltalk bot
