I recently tried to make a fishing bot in Visual Basic using some basic Keyboard Input API for the keystrokes. However, I ran into problems, certain keys will not register in the game (I.E. the enter key) During testing of this program, I would have it type something to say in window..then go to press enter, everything worked beside the enter key, Furthermore, I have the same problem with activating Macros, Ctrl +7 or whatever, the API im using has an option to hold down a specified key, therefore I should be able to execute the macro.. but no. I know that I have it coded all right because I tested everyting in Wordpad (had it type something, press enter to start new paragraph, press Ctrl + Z to undo) etc. So the keys are being pressed just not in the game..wierd...

SO with all of this in mind..it doesn't really make much sense but could it have anything to do with what resolution I have FFXI set to run at?

If not could any experienced programmer offer any advice?

FFXI is a good game:) I think your problem with the macro execution is that you need to hold down Ctrl until that window pops up. If you havent held down control long enough for that window to come up, it will not work. Solution: hold down Ctrl longer. Another possibility is that you are letting go of Ctrl and then hitting the key, Ctrl has to be held down when you hit the key. How you do that in VB, no clue. As for the keylogger not seeing enter, others are having the same problem, not sure why it is doing that.

Hope that helps,
