Screen Blanks After 1 Min Of Processing (of Excel File) / Refresh Or Freeze Screen To Avoid Blank Screen?

Jun 29, 2011

BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?

.net - Taking Photo Of Screen - Take A Picture Of The Entire Screen, Not Just The Focused Window?

Jul 6, 2011

Currently I have the following VB.NET code to make a screenshot of my desktop, but it only takes a picture of the active screen:

Public Function SaveScreen(ByVal theFile As String) As Boolean
Try
SendKeys.Send("%{PRTSC}")[code].....

The following code is how I execute the above function, if it makes any difference, which I don't think it does:

SaveScreen("C:Lexer_tracescreen.png")

Now, I need to be able to take a picture of the entire screen, not just the focused window.

Feb 2, 2012

Now I'm creating at app in VB (Microsoft's, Visual Basic 2010) which will be in full screen but I want to know if I can put all my content in the centre of the screen.

But this is for web pages using HTML and CSS.

Get Coordinates On Screen By Holding Down Mouse And Placing It Over Different Parts Of The Screen

Feb 29, 2012

I'm trying to get coordinates on my screen by holding down my mouse and placing it over different parts of the screen. I'm using the mouse_up and down events in a button to kinda simulate the mouse being held down.

Make A Screen Recorder (not Screen Capture) Program

Aug 20, 2010

I wanted to make a screen recorder (not screen capture) program, but I am not entirely sure how to get it started. I have seen many videos and things on how to make one, but all of these just take multiple pictures and then don't compile them into a movie file, and I don't want to take many pictures (unless that is the only way possible.) I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express and I have looked at the Windows Media Encoder, but I can't seem to figure out how to use/implement it (yes, I have downloaded and installed it.) Maybe I can use some kind of ActiveX control?

VS 2008 Screen.GetWorkingArea And PointToScreen - Dual Screen ?

Mar 28, 2009

I have a button btnRegEx that when pressed shows a ContextMenuStrip, similar to the '>' button in the Find/Replace dialog in Visual Studio when you are using Regular Expressions. I have a ContextMenuStrip cms which I show using its Show(x,y) method.

At first I was simply setting x and y (the location of the ContextMenuStrip) to some point next to the button, but I noticed that when the button is close to the edge of the screen it goes off screen. I wanted to prevent that so I built some logic into the x-y calculation. When the ContextMenuStrip width is larger than the 'remaining space left' I simply show it more to the left. Same for its Height of course. I am using the Screen.GetWorkingArea(point) method to determine the 'remaining space left'. As I understand it, it returns the working area closest to the point you specify (to which I pass the button's location).

As long as I stay on my first monitor, it is all working perfectly fine. The problem occurs when I move the form to my second monitor. The contextmenustrip is still showing on the first monitor for some reason...

Here is the code I am using:

vb.net Private Sub btnRegEx_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRegEx.Click
Dim p As Point = PointToScreen(New Point(btnRegEx.Left, btnRegEx.Top))
Dim x, y As Integer

[CODE]...

I have noticed that when I click the button when the form is on the second monitor, the buttons location (p) is calculated with the first monitor's top-left corner as (0,0), even though it is on the second monitor. This way, the GetWorkingArea function returns something like 1280, while the buttons x-location is something like 1700... So, how do I get the buttons coordinate relative to the actual screen it is on, rather than the entire dual monitor screens as a whole?

Screen Sizing - Max=stuck - Won't Get Off The Max Screen Size

Feb 11, 2011

VB.net / VisualStudio8 I have an application I've written that's been very stable. I had it set to exactly 1024x768 resolution, and to windowsstate=maximize (I think that's what it's always been).

I recently started coding to give the user the option to use the 1024x768 or to have the program detect the max size of the screen and use it.

That part works great... I'm using:

Dim MonitorWidth = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width
Dim MonitorHeight = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height
Me.Height = MonitorHeight
Me.Width = MonitorWidth

What I'm baffled by is that the application now won't get off the max screen size. It's using the max of the screen, even when I do not call the screen resizing code above. I'm trying to give the user the option of the application only taking up 1024x768 (and placed up to the top left) or maximizing the application using the full extents of the screen.

Changing Screen Resolution With VB 2005?

Mar 25, 2006

I'm having a difficult time converting a Windows API call that works fine in VB6 to run in VB 2005 (Windows XP with SP2 in both cases). I reduced the problem code down to its core which is below. I'm trying to change the screen resolution with the ChangeDisplaySettingsEx call; the idea is that on entering the program it shifts to high resolution and at the end it restores the original settings. I left the restore part out because I get the same error. Which is "An invalid parameter was passed in.This can include an invalid flag or combination of flags." I'm trying to use exactly the same parameters, but somewhere in the conversion process from VB6 a fatal change crept in. My guess is that it's either in the ByRef/ByVal or Short/Integer/Long alternatives, or in the conversion of the Devmode structure which included fixed-length strings (OK in VB6 but not allowed in VB.NET). But all my fiddling so far has not produced a solution. I got the same error code back in VB6 when I tried to set a display frequency that was not supported at the resolution I requested, but even leaving the values unmodified (in effect setting them to what they are now, with no change) gives the same error. Any ideas? So far as I can tell, there is no alternative to the API to accomplish this goal; would be interested to know if I missed it.
