❔ ✅ Is there a Way to extend this code from this yt tutorial

so ive been following this yt tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTKTPqqFtrk, which shows a way to implement a keyboard hook(i think "^^) and it does work so far, but i was wondering if i could extend the code to show me which button is pressed and released rather than just givig me a messagebox with the notofication.(i apologize if my question is written poorly) here is my code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace testform2
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            Hotkeys.Init(comboBox1);
        }

        protected override void WndProc(ref Message hotkey)
        {
            bool Visible = this.Visible;
            base.WndProc(ref hotkey);

            if(Visible && hotkey.Msg == 0x0312) 
            {
                textBox1.Text += hotkey.Msg.ToString() + "\n\r";
                //MessageBox.Show("Global Hotkey Pressed");
            }
        }

        private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Hotkeys.SetHotKey(comboBox1, Handle);
        }
    }
}

    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            Hotkeys.Init(comboBox1);
        }

        protected override void WndProc(ref Message hotkey)
        {
            bool Visible = this.Visible;
            base.WndProc(ref hotkey);

            if(Visible && hotkey.Msg == 0x0312) 
            {
                textBox1.Text += hotkey.Msg.ToString() + "\n\r";
                //MessageBox.Show("Global Hotkey Pressed");
            }
        }

        private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Hotkeys.SetHotKey(comboBox1, Handle);
        }

C# Global Hotkeys

Setting up Global Hotkeys in C# Win Forms By my mistake, I accidentally added the imports ReleaseCapture & SendMessage. You do not need these.

JakenVeina•14mo ago

if by "extend" the code, you mean "modify" it, then sure

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

yes sorry i mean modify :)

arion•14mo ago

There are a number of Nuget Packages available that can already do this if you want a more structured approach, H.Hooks features an event based notification for when a key is pressed Down and Up and whether to intercept the keys (dont send them to other applications). There's also the GlobalHotkey approach from StackOverflow which has a sort of "register a callback" approach where you declare something like

GlobalHotKey.RegisterHotKey("Alt + Shift + S", () => DoSomething());

GlobalHotKey.RegisterHotKey("Alt + Shift + S", () => DoSomething());

or in your case

GlobalHotKey.RegisterHotKey("Alt + Shift + S", () => {
  // Your code goes here.
});

GlobalHotKey.RegisterHotKey("Alt + Shift + S", () => {
  // Your code goes here.
});

Additionally there's the advanced approach of doing WinAPI calls for low level keyboard procs which removes the need for your application in most cases needing to be on the same (or higher) elevation level as the focused application. Example use of H.Hooks is

using var keyboardHook = new LowLevelKeyboardHook();
keyboardHook.Up += (_, args) => Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(keyboardHook.Up)}: {args}");
keyboardHook.Down += (_, args) => Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(keyboardHook.Down)}: {args}");

keyboardHook.Start();

Console.ReadKey();

using var keyboardHook = new LowLevelKeyboardHook();
keyboardHook.Up += (_, args) => Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(keyboardHook.Up)}: {args}");
keyboardHook.Down += (_, args) => Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(keyboardHook.Down)}: {args}");

keyboardHook.Start();

Console.ReadKey();

Also, looking at the code you provided before (and some StackOverflow), if you'd want the key you can do this in your WndProc:

protected override void WndProc(ref Message hotkey)
    {
        const int WM_HOTKEY = 0x312;
        base.WndProc(ref hotkey);

        if (Visible && hotkey.Msg == WM_HOTKEY)
        {
            var key = (Keys)(((int)hotkey.LParam >> 16) & 0xFFFF);
            textBox1.Text = key.ToString();
            //MessageBox.Show("Global Hotkey Pressed");
        }
    }

protected override void WndProc(ref Message hotkey)
    {
        const int WM_HOTKEY = 0x312;
        base.WndProc(ref hotkey);

        if (Visible && hotkey.Msg == WM_HOTKEY)
        {
            var key = (Keys)(((int)hotkey.LParam >> 16) & 0xFFFF);
            textBox1.Text = key.ToString();
            //MessageBox.Show("Global Hotkey Pressed");
        }
    }

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

Thx for the help im going to look into it when i have some time :) Btw im a beginner incase that wasnt clear, so i will probably need aome time to understand woah ive been reading your comments and i must say im truly thankfull arion <3

arion•14mo ago

ThumbsUp

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

ive been looking into this H.Hooks and i would like to try it but i dont know how to use it, there is this install package thing but i dont know where to use it "^^?

arion•14mo ago

Thats one way to install a package, another is using Visual Studio's nuget package manager

arion•14mo ago

most of your nuget packages will likely be installed this way

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

thanks you are a great help <3

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

ive copied your code and got this error...

No description

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

so ive modified the code with the help of chat gpt, but when i launch it now i get this error message, would you mind helping me further?

No description

JakenVeina•14mo ago

can you translate that?

arion•14mo ago

oh, since its a winforms app, just remove the Console.ReadKey line for these:

keyboardHook.Up += (_, args) => Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(keyboardHook.Up)}: {args}");
keyboardHook.Down += (_, args) => Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(keyboardHook.Down)}: {args}");

keyboardHook.Up += (_, args) => Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(keyboardHook.Up)}: {args}");
keyboardHook.Down += (_, args) => Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(keyboardHook.Down)}: {args}");

you can even create methods for them if you want like:

private LowLevelKeyboardHook keyboardHook;
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  keyboardHook = new LowLevelKeyboardHook();
  keyboardHook.Up += OnGlobalKeyUp;
  keyboardHook.Down += OnGlobalKeyDown;
  keyboardHook.Start();
}

private void OnGlobalKeyUp(object? sender KeyboardEventArgs args)
{

}
private void OnGlobalKeyUp(object? sender KeyboardEventArgs args)
{

}

private LowLevelKeyboardHook keyboardHook;
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  keyboardHook = new LowLevelKeyboardHook();
  keyboardHook.Up += OnGlobalKeyUp;
  keyboardHook.Down += OnGlobalKeyDown;
  keyboardHook.Start();
}

private void OnGlobalKeyUp(object? sender KeyboardEventArgs args)
{

}
private void OnGlobalKeyUp(object? sender KeyboardEventArgs args)
{

}

its likely something like, the app isnt accepting std-in or is not a designated console app so therefore InvalidOperationException

Was this issue resolved? If so, run /close - otherwise I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

sorry for not replying for so long i was busy

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

ive intalled the english language model and chaged it to english but for some reason the error is still in german i already restatet vs idk how to translate it?

No description

JakenVeina•14mo ago

I mean, do you read German? You seem to speak English.

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

german is my native language but ofc i use english to write with you guys bc not everyone speaks german :) but i take that as a compliment :D

JakenVeina•14mo ago

anyway, the exception being in German is a result of .NET, not Visual Studio I dunno if it's a setting you could change, without having to reinstall an English verison of .NET, or if it's based on your system language settings

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

this is how my code looks so far what does the "?" do?. and how can i get the key ive typed to go in my messagebox?

No description

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

it looks like this error is in english so the langauge thing seems to be fixed :)

JakenVeina•14mo ago

? can mean a lot of things, but when attached to a type specification like that, it indicates that the type is allowed to be null specifically, because it's attached to a reference type, it's a metadata annotation for the compiler, and is basically meaningless to code functionality as the error indicates, you are not using a version of the C# language that supports that feature it was added in C#8 you're using C#7.3

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

oh i guess i should update my c#

JakenVeina•14mo ago

you cannot annotate reference types as nullable or non-nullable, all reference types are assumed to always be nullable or remove the annotation

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

i think i want to update, there is probably a reason that this was added so sooner or later i might need it anyway

JakenVeina•14mo ago

there is indeed a reason

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

but how can i get the key i typed to into the messagebox?

JakenVeina•14mo ago

it allows the compiler to better analyze your code for flaws it allows the compiler to do this....

public void DoSomething(SomeObject? target)
{
    target.DoSomething(); // Compiler will warn you of a possible NullReferenceException here, because it knows that target can be null
}

public void DoSomething(SomeObject? target)
{
    target.DoSomething(); // Compiler will warn you of a possible NullReferenceException here, because it knows that target can be null
}

thus allowing you to either fix it with a null check

public void DoSomething(SomeObject? target)
{
    target?.DoSomething();
}

public void DoSomething(SomeObject? target)
{
    target?.DoSomething();
}

or change the annotation, if your intention is that target should never be null

public void DoSomething(SomeObject target)
{
    target.DoSomething();
}

public void DoSomething(SomeObject target)
{
    target.DoSomething();
}

THAT means that the compiler will warn you if you try and CALL DoSomething() with a value for target that it thinks could be null etc. etc. okay, so.... you are typing a key into a messagebox?

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

thanks for the explanation, i want to show me the key once i pressed it in a messagebox and later in a textbox for now the messagebox will do

JakenVeina•14mo ago

what messagebox? oh, wait okay opposite of what you said so, you want to CAPTURE a keypress and display it later

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

yep im going to update my c# later for now im going to remove the "?"

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

i figured it out

JakenVeina•14mo ago

gg

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

is there a limit to wich key can be captured or is every key "captureable"?

JakenVeina•14mo ago

is there a limit to wich key can be captured

not really, no

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

oh thats nice

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

so when i want to write my text into a textbox i get this exception

No description

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

chatgpt translation: "System.InvalidOperationException: 'Invalid cross-thread operation: Access to control textBox1 was performed from a thread other than the one it was created for.'"

JakenVeina•14mo ago

error says it all

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

this seems to fix it, but i dont understand why, but u guess as long as it works i should be fine

No description

JakenVeina•14mo ago

Invoke() marshals an action onto the thread that owns the control I.E. your Form which is precisely what you want the global key handler you registered is invoked on a thread entirely outside of your application, managed by the OS

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

oh thanks i am going to need some of this stuff in school and present and explain it for a grade, this is going to be interesting xD

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

okay this is everything i wanted to know i guess, now im going to implement the mouse (this should be similar), and in the future i want to replay the inputs but im going to do that far in the future

No description

arion•14mo ago

you dont necessarily need to add new Action( but instead

Invoke(()=> 
{
});

Invoke(()=> 
{
});

so this, becomes this:

Invoke(()=> 
{
  textbox1.Text += $"Pressed: {args}\n";
});

Invoke(()=> 
{
  textbox1.Text += $"Pressed: {args}\n";
});

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

oh okay, what does the new action part do?

arion•14mo ago

uh, it calls itself. ()=> {}; is essentially an action, so doing that twice wont help much

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

uhh something went wrong xD

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

i think i leave the code as it is, bc im not realy sure what happening

What does "Show potential fixes" say? because it doesnt complain on my side:

JakenVeina•14mo ago

I'm not sure why the compiler can't infer the delegate type there, but it obviously can't .Invoke() has two different overloads that could fit that signature

public void Invoke(Action method);

public object? Invoke(Delegate method);

public void Invoke(Action method);

public object? Invoke(Delegate method);

since Action actually derives from Delegate the compiler ought to give precedence to the Action overload, but it's trying to bind to the Delegate one instead and it doesn't know what type of delegate to create put new Action() back whatever the combination of reasons, Roslyn isn't smart enough to infer the delegate type here, you need to specify it manually

arion•14mo ago

imma try booting up my Visual Studio and see if its a VS issue cuz im using Rider most of the time

JakenVeina•14mo ago

also, to answer the earlier question, new Action(() => something()) and () => something are functionally and semantically identical the second is simply shorthand for the first, when the compiler is smart enough to infer that an Action is needed

arion•14mo ago

hmmm, are u using Visual Studio 2017 or earlier by any chance?

JakenVeina•14mo ago

no

arion•14mo ago

@RohesKätzchen

JakenVeina•14mo ago

oh, him

arion•14mo ago

xD

JakenVeina•14mo ago

actually, he's using C#7.3, established earlier that could explain the lack of inferrability

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

i think visual studio 2022

JakenVeina•14mo ago

drop your lang version to 7.3 arion

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

how can i change the lang version, couldnt figure it out earlier?

JakenVeina•14mo ago

in your csproj file

arion•14mo ago

I get nullability errors but nothing else when dropping to 7.3

JakenVeina•14mo ago

hmmm remove the brackets?

arion•14mo ago

arion•14mo ago

still no error odd

JakenVeina•14mo ago

:/ @RohesKätzchen if you put a new Action() wrapper back around that, does that eliminate the error?

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

yes

I mean, like, that .Invoke() calls is System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke?

arion•14mo ago

yeah

JakenVeina•14mo ago

@RohesKätzchen what framework are you running?

arion•14mo ago

Since its to method body it changes from Action to Func<string>

JakenVeina•14mo ago

wait, why the hell is it resolving to the Func<T> overload?

arion•14mo ago

setting the string returns the string

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

uhh windows forms? this one

No description

arion•14mo ago

noooooo

JakenVeina•14mo ago

yeah

arion•14mo ago

There we have the problemo xD

JakenVeina•14mo ago

not really a problem, just the reason that you're getting different behavior

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

huh, i dont understand anything whats going on xD

JakenVeina•14mo ago

you're running .NET Framework arion's running on .NET 5+ the Action and Func<T> overloads of .Invoke() don't exist for you only the Delegate overload so you literally HAVE to specify the delegate type

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

oh okay

arion•14mo ago

Basically .NET Framework is from like 10-20 years ago, .NET Core is more modern

JakenVeina•14mo ago

somewhat it's just a different version, different stuff exists

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

btw, thank both of you for all the help, you realy saved me <3

arion•14mo ago

Regarding this btw, it transforms Action to Func<string> xD

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

how hard will it be to simulate mouse and key inputs outside of the application?

JakenVeina•14mo ago

simulate? like, for testing?

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

like i can record my inputs and later on in my project i want to ,,play,, them like a macro

JakenVeina•14mo ago

hard

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

damn, i should have taken a easier project for school :(

JakenVeina•14mo ago

it rather goes against one of the OS's core jobs of keeping separate programs from interfering with one another same as capturing global key input, you're going well outside of the realm of C# to generate global key input

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

do you think there is another nuget library for that, bc that made it a lot easier? well thats a diffrent topic ig, so for now all my questions are answered. i probably will open another topic about simulating input in the near future again huge thanks to you <3 so if you are also done, i would /close this thread can i still read it after i closed it?

arion•14mo ago

From purely looking at the readme here https://www.nuget.org/packages/H.InputSimulator#readme-tab this might work

JakenVeina•14mo ago

possibly yes

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

well i will look into this so ig thats it kind of emotional for me to close it :( well bye 🥲

arion•14mo ago

You can always create additional help posts if you're stuck on anything else nod

nod

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

i will 👋 ayo incase one of you is still reading how can i get the scroll event for my mouse in H.Hooks?

arion•14mo ago

var x = new LowLevelMouseHook();

x.Wheel += (sender, eventArgs) =>
{
    // Your code goes here
};

x.Dispose();

var x = new LowLevelMouseHook();

x.Wheel += (sender, eventArgs) =>
{
    // Your code goes here
};

x.Dispose();

if you want to send the scroll keys:

var x = new InputSimulator();


x.Mouse.VerticalScroll(3);

var x = new InputSimulator();


x.Mouse.VerticalScroll(3);

3 being the amount of scrolls upwards i believe

RohesKätzchenOP•14mo ago

thanks a lot <3
