Input bar

[bungpeng]

I want to develop a tool, like a language input tool, which when user typing something in this tool, it will output something else to a textbox in other application.

 

Can you understand me? Any idea to do this? TQ!

Can't speak for anyone else but I don't really follow what you mean...

For example, in english windows, I can't input other characters using my english keyboard. So when user want to input chinese characters to notepad, he need to open notepad and my application, then when they type "AAA" and press "Enter", it will output as chinese character to notepad.

 

Mean I need to send character or string from my application to other application like notepad, ms word or any application with input field (textbox)

Hmm, can't say I know much about possible .Net solutions here but you could use some API's e.g. FindWindow or enumerate windows to allow selection from a list to get the application handle and then use postmessage to send the characters to the application...

I think it is quite brief for me... If there any reference or online guidance for it?

 

Thank you

You want to check out http://www.mentalis.org and look at the api guide which gives documentation and examples for using Win32 API's. It also lists .Net functions that replace them where appropriate but this appears to be unoften.
