As it's a modeless dialog, perhaps you just want to have a button that hides it on the dialog ?

I finally got it working by using the following code:
Private Sub CustomForm_LocationChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.LocationChanged<br />
<br />
If Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then<br />
Me.Owner.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal<br />
End If<br />
End Sub
What caused some problems was that when the application was launched in debug mode from Visual Studio, Visual Studio itself seemed to be the owning window rather than the parent form.
The good news is that it all works in when run as the release build exe file.

Somebody know how to connect an object pointer of an interface. I got errors at IAMTVTuner get and put.

how to show autonumbers in a text control fromm a table in the database

What do you mean? What is the problem, really? The autonumber property only affects how the value of the field is created, not how you read the field.

Hello there,
I am developing a windows service in vb.net. everything is going fine but one thing. My service starts as soon as computer starts(means without any user even login, which i know is normal for service). What i want to achieve is that i want to get a notification when some user login to the system, and great if i get the user logoff notification but it is not necessary. I want to monitor few programs when they are running and they only run when some user is login. So i want to get notification when some user login so that i can start my monitoring of those programs. Some example code is more then welcome!!
Qaiser.

One thing you might consider, since it sounds like your not concerned about it running if nobody is logged on, is change the account that the service runs under. So instead of having it run under the local system account, have it run in a user account.
If that is not an option because you want to continue monitoring certain events even if nobody is logged on, then (I dont know of any Loggedon or off events) I would start a new thread and start an infinite loop to check what user is logged on. When you get a different name or you dont get a valid name then raise an event.

Hi,
I have made a website using vb.net (visual studio .net 2003) with a MySQL database. I have built, setup and run the web application in my college as a project. Now I want to deploy the web site on the internet. What are the basic steps I need to know to do so. I have tried to copy all the files from the FTP i am using currently to the FTP server of the hosting company but the website doesnt work on the hosting company's server. It is working absolutely fine on my college server. I have also changed the connection string for the MySQL database connection. What am I missing out... what steps need to be taken in order to get my web site up and running on the hosting company's server? Please help... I am in urgent need. Thanks a lot.

We're not the best people to ask about that since each hosting company supports different things.
Your best place is to ask the support staff of the hosting company. This my be a stupid thing to ask, but do they support MySQL?

Hi there, the hosting supports MySQL and ASP.Net. They do not provide with the setup of the website. I have already transferred my files and code on thier FTP server. Everytime I run the website from the internet, I get a Runtime Error.
I am a student and I am deploying a website for the first time. There must be some modifications that need to be done before I try to run an application on another hosting server/company.
Please help if possible. I will really appreciate any help.

Like I said, the best source of help is the hosting company itself. After all, you're paying them aren't you?
You have to determine what the host requires as far as configuration, .NET Framework requirements, and directory structure. We can't possibly tell you that.

Thanks for your help Dave. I'll probably get hold of the hosting company and extract as much help as they can provide me. Thanks again.

Hi
I want to create a desktop (using CreatDesktop API) and then give the user the ability to move some of the running programs in the Default desktop to that newly created desktop.
I can do it by a CreatProcess to run new files in the created desktop. but how can I move the previously running processes to tthe new desktop?
(I am writing my program in VB6 and I still have not found any way to enumerate the handles of processes in vb6 also.)
Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
If I read the API docs correctly, you can't move a process to another desktop once it's been created and has made a USER32 or GDI function call. The desktop to use must be specified in the Startup parameters structure before CreateProcess is called to start the app.
Only the process itself can change its desktop using SetThreadDesktop.
You can read more about Window Stations and Desktops here[^].

Thanks for the answer.
Yet an other method comes to my mind:
What if a dll is injected into the process? Is that possible then to use the SetThreadDesktop to change the dekstop of the process?
(I don't know much about dll injection, and I would be glad if someone could introduce me some point to start...)
Thanks

In VB6 code?! Yikes! You're looking at a very rough time doing this.
The problem with Injection is that your code is injected into the Process. You're still not running on the proper thread to call the function. There's just no way to do it that's using any documented methods.

how i chang culture in control panel in runtime in my program
I WANT chang clender type and short date format

Unless your writing a utility to specifically do this and nothign else, you have no business doin this.
Remember, your app is running on a SHARED system. That means your app has to work and play nice with other applications. Changing system-wide settings to overcome deficiencies in your code is just extremely bad practice.
There is no reason to change the culture or short date format in the system. Your code can do anything required by this change itself, if written correctly.

Hi Guys,
If we have a password for the windows (for example), when we try to write the pass, if we had the Caps-Lock Button active, we see a message in a yellow "box", to inform as for this active button, which can make problems in our password!
In one of my programs, I ask somewhere for a password..so I want to show this message to the user,
if his keyboard has the Caps Button active...
I must use tooltip?
Please, give me a solution (with some lines of code if its possible and necessary)
Thanx in advance...
|
|

|

Why does everyone come around wanting pre-written code all the time?
A simple Google search for "vb.net capslock" comes up with an example here[^].

Sorry, but I am beginner...and I dont understand this exaple and its use..Can you help me more?

All the examples are going to be just like this. They all have to make calls directly in the Win32 API to get the current status of the lock keys, CapsLock, NumLock, and ScrollLock.
Your best understanding is going to be putting your code together and calling one of the functions, such as GetLockStatus, and step through the code in the debugger.
In the posted example, all you need to worry about calling is GetLockStatus.
Dim status As Boolean
status = GetLockStatus(ToggleKey.CapsLock)

Thanx Dave Kreskowiak..now I understand! Before, I have problems with the returning value of function (I didnt understand that its boolean) and the way of calling!
And I use google as good as I can..I try.. Thanks again..
