I am working with Visual Studio 2008, .NET Framework 3.5 and C#.
I have my own Console Application that needs some functionality. Currently it is able to change the Windowtitles, read it's location on the screen, read it's width and height, send mouse-events and send key-events. This can be done to any open window, as long as I have the handle for it (which normally never is the problem).
The only thing I am missing is how to capture the messages that are send to this handle. With Spy++ I am able to see all the messages send to a window, I want the same functionality in my Console Application.
A simple example of such message will be: WM_MOUSEMOVE fwKeys:0000 xPos:10 yPos10
To make everything clear what I exactly want:
My Console Application has to read all messages send to a handle that is not created by the Console Application, for instance a window like Internet Explorer or Notepad. Those messages have to be captured.
So far I have tried both GetMessage and PeekMessage. The code I used for that is as follows
<br />
[DllImport("User32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]<br />
private static extern bool PeekMessage(out MSG msg, IntPtr hWnd, uint messageFilterMin, uint messageFilterMax, uint flags);<br />
<br />
[DllImport("User32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]<br />
private static extern bool GetMessage(out MSG msg, IntPtr hWnd, uint messageFilterMin, uint messageFilterMax);<br />
<br />
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]<br />
public struct MSG<br />
{<br />
public IntPtr hWnd;<br />
public uint Message;<br />
public uint WParam;<br />
public uint LParam;<br />
public uint Time;<br />
public System.Drawing.Point Point;<br />
}<br />
<br />
static void Main(string[] args)<br />
{<br />
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);<br />
<br />
MSG msg;<br />
while (PeekMessage(out msg, new IntPtr(0x000A053A), 0, 0, 0))<br />
{<br />
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);<br />
}<br />
<br />
while (GetMessage(out msg, new IntPtr(0x000A053A), 0, 0, 0))<br />
{<br />
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
For me, this always results a false value for both the PeekMessage and GetMessage methods and thus no value in msg. Does anybody know how to solve my problem?
Thank you very much in advance!

Sorry for the late response, but I have been working on it.
What you send is not realy what I need, that is basically built to read messages of .NET components. What I need is to read messages of any program that is running.
Through my long research I discovered Windows does not realy allow this on an easy and efficient way. You have to inject your DLL into the program in order to make it work right.
This is too much work for me...
But for me, the problem was something else, it was Visual Studio 2008.
There is a setting called "Enable the Visual Studio hosting process". This must be turned of in order to make this work. This setting can be found at:
Project >> [project name] Properties... >> Debug >> Enable Debuggers
Thank you for your information, but now I'm just working with Low Level hooks and reading from what program the message comes.

Jamie - the way to test something like this is to take the statements out and attempt them by yourself in SQL Server. If you had done this, you would have found the reason in a matter of seconds, namely that there is no smalldate datatype in SQL Server (and you need to remove the size of the same field as well - if it's a date it doesn't need a size specifying).

You can either have two event handlers for your two buttons to distinguish which one was pressed or you can examine the sender property by casting it to appropriate type
|
|
|
|
|
if the event handler is same then use this:
Button b = (Button)sender;
now you can indentify the button by "Name", "Text" or any other property

I want to create nullable combobox whuch stores null to datasource when Text
is empty and null value is not in ComboBox Item list.
I tried the code below but null is not stored to s.CustId.
How to change this code so that null is stored to s.CustId ?
It it possible to store null without adding null entity to Customer class ?
I have generic ComboBox which allows to select foreign keys from Customer,
Product etc.
lists.
Generic code to instantiate and add null Id to every such objects seems to
be compilated.
In every list Id and Name propetries have different names, eq. names may be
productname, customername, productcode, customervatno etc.
So I must use CreateInstance to create empty entity object and then use
reflection to set id property to null and foreign key property to empty
string.
This seems to be complicated. So I'm looking for a simpler way to allow
Combobox natively support this.

Probably the easiest way to do this is for you to derive your own control from the textbox and handle the different background colour in there.
|
|
|
|
|
Not sure if this is an option for your particular situation or not.
When I need behavior like this I set the textbox to readonly instead of disabled. That way I can modify the backcolor.
txtBox.ReadOnly = true;
txtBox.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
Hope this helps.

man, it quite easy, just change backcolor to White from Windows

I thought you could set a textbox to ReadOnly and Enabled.
ReadOnly would leave the BackColor to white, while Enabled would set it gray.
you can always set the BackColor to virtually any Color you want after you've set it ReadOnly or Enabled
Hope this helps.

IIRC read only allows you to select text, disabled does not.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

HI
Can any one kindly let me know, how the array list has been implmented in .Net frame work, i have heard it has been implemented as link list at the back end, kindly let me know asap, thankx in advance,

You can use Reflector for .NET to see how it is implemented or wait until the source code is released publicly by Microsoft.

Hi,
I have a MIB file, here's a piece:
nlmLogVariableOpaqueVal OBJECT-TYPE<br />
SYNTAX Opaque<br />
MAX-ACCESS read-only<br />
STATUS current<br />
DESCRIPTION<br />
"The value when nlmLogVariableType is 'opaque'."<br />
::= { nlmLogVariableEntry 12 }<br />
<br />
<br />
--<br />
-- Conformance<br />
--<br />
<br />
notificationLogMIBConformance OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=<br />
{ notificationLogMIB 3 }<br />
notificationLogMIBCompliances OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=<br />
{ notificationLogMIBConformance 1 }<br />
notificationLogMIBGroups OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=<br />
{ notificationLogMIBConformance 2 }<br />
<br />
-- Compliance
How can I get every occurence of OBJECT IDENTIFIER? I do something like this:
Regex objIdentifiers = new Regex(@"(?<name>[a-z][\d\w0-9-]*).*(\n|\s|\t)*OBJECT IDENTIFIER.*(\s|\t|\n)*::=(\s|\t)*{(\s|\t)*(?<enterprise>[\d\w0-9-]*)(\s|\t)*(?<number>[0-9])(\s|\t)*}");<br />
<br />
MatchCollection matches = objIdentifiers.Matches(s);</number></enterprise></name>
But this doesn't work. I should mention that those definitions sometimes look like this:
notificationLogMIBGroups OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=<br />
-- Comment<br />
{ notificationLogMIBConformance 2 }
Thanks in advance!
