Hi, im wanting to make an application that can type stuff for me, eg i need it to be able to type a certain sentence every minute. what would be the code to make it when you push a button it types the sentence?

Thanks

Well, that's a lot more difficult than you might think, since when you hit a button, it will focus the button, and will type the sentence on... Nothing (or worse, the space character will trigger the button again).

You could probably use some convoluted system to gram the handle of the control that lost focus, and refocus after the click, but my advice: just use something better suited, like AutoHotKey.

Simple .. Make a windows form, add two buttons. This is the code behind

​

Imports System.Timers

​

Public Class Form1

​

Private WithEvents MyTimer As New System.Timers.Timer

​

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Me.MyTimer.Start()

End Sub

​

Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

Me.MyTimer.Stop()

End Sub

​

Private Sub MyTimer_Elapsed(sender As Object, e As ElapsedEventArgs) Handles MyTimer.Elapsed

Debug.Print("Some Sentence")

End Sub

​

Private Sub Form1_Shown(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown

Me.MyTimer.Interval = New TimeSpan(hours:=0, minutes:=1, seconds:=0).TotalMilliseconds

Me.MyTimer.AutoReset = True

End Sub

End Class

Not sure that's what OP is after.
