Is there a way to use sendkeys.send to send the string once? instead of like spamming it?

Obviously don't put it in a loop. How copy pasty can someone be?

But I have a button click event and the code is sendkeys.send(textbox1.text) this just keeps putting the text from textbox1.text over and over and over WITHOUT A LOOP

Post your code then instead of expecting us to be psychic

Ok here is my code

Code

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal SendWaiter As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
  SendKeys.Send(Textbox1.text)
    End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal SendWaiter As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
  SendKeys.Send(Textbox1.text)
    End Sub

is this the only code that calls the button click event? must be some other code calling this event. that code should execute once per button click.

Yep the only thing calling that event is the button itself

OP is stupid, quit clicking the button 300 times. Stupid!

Haha, I may know what's happening.
Somehow the textbox1.txt has an Enter ( return ) in it. It's rerunning itself since the focused object is the button.

Very good idea, nice one. I came to this thread thinking he didn't want to send duplicate messages from a list or some sort

I know OP is using .NET but i can also replicate his problem in VB6 too and it was the return carriage inside a textbox on the last line that causes it to spam. picture below is what happens when i put an empty line on the bottom
