View 1 RepliesBackground Worker In Excel VSTO Application, Modal Dialog Makes BGW Cancellation Slow
Nov 25, 2011I'm using a background worker to in an Excel VSTO application to throw up a progress dialog box with a status bar and a cancel button to escape from long running calculations. It's working really well, except for one issue. I'd like to use a Modal Dialog, so that the UI behind the dialog gets locked up, instead of a Modeless Dialog. If I use .ShowDialog() instead of .Show(), everything is great until you hit the Cancel button on the form. Following things in the debugger, the cancellation happens, it just takes somewhere in range of 30 seconds. If I use .Show() on my form, then the cancellation occurs immediately as it should.

View 2 RepliesForm.Webbrowser Control Different Between Vista 32bit And Vista 64bit?
Oct 11, 2009I am been working on an a small app that has a Forms.Webbrowser control that navigates to a Adobe Flash program. I have developed the app on Vista 32bit platform and have had no problems. I have sent the app to a couple of people to test out and one is using Vista 64bit and is running into a problem. I know the webbrowser control just uses the underlying base framework of IE. The problem on the 64 bit machine is when the site is navigated to it says that it needs to have Flash installed. When the user goes to Adobe's site it says they need to use a 32bit browser.
As stated on Adobe site here:[URL] the Flash player need to be in a 32 bit browser. What options do I have to be able fix this problem? Is there another control that I can use that would be the same in a 32bit platform and 64bit platform? Besides navigating to the Flash program, the browser also goes to standard web pages.
[2008] Vista/Server 2008 Event Log Entries?
Feb 19, 2009windows service app I am developing to audit events in the Windows Security Event Log. I am using the EventLog class to read entries from the "Security" event log. I have set the log to raise events when an entry is written so I can parse the data. Here is where my problem comes in. If I run the service on Windows 2003 I can get all the data I need from each entry, but when installed on Server 2008 the EventLogEntry ".message" property comes back with useless data like this, "The description for Event ID '4738' in Source 'Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing' cannot be found." Under Server 2003 the message property has good data. Using the Event Log Viewer in Server 2008 I can see that it is rendering the correct data, but I am having a heak of a time doing the same. The "replacementStrings" property has the corresponding data that I need, but it appears to involve some other steps to get the data localized to the event provider, but I do not know how to do that.
I also checked the registry HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetServicesEventlogSecuritySecurity on both the 2003 servers and 2008 servers. They are identical execpt the 2003 has an entry the 2008 server does not:
String Type: GuidMessageFile
Value: %systemroot%system32NtMarta.dll
Get The 'Progress' Dialog To Display Immediately After The 'Install Icon' Dialog Disappears?
Jun 4, 2009I have a simple desktop application that uses a .NET setup project (.msi file) to perform the installation. On the first installation, everything proceeds in a timely fashion with good feedback for the user.The problem occurs when the user is installing the latest version of the application over an old version on their machine.There is an unacceptably long delay of about 60 to 180 seconds from the time the installer's 'Welcome' dialog [It's not the Welcome dialog, I've removed that from the Start section of the setup project and replaced it with a CheckBox dialog to ask if the user wants a shortcut on the desktop] disappears until the 'Progress' dialog appears. The user sees minute(s) of blank screen and thinks the install has stopped or failed.
In the setup project properties, I've got the 'DetectNewerInstalledVersion' and 'RemovePreviousVersions' properties set to true. So, I believe that while nothing appears to be happening, the installer is actually removing the old version. The 'Progress' dialog does not appear until the new version begins installation.I've been trying to either:
a) Get the 'Progress' dialog to display immediately after the 'Install Icon' dialog disappears
b) Show another dialog while the Uninstall is running to let the user know that the setup is still running and everything is OK.
I have been unsuccessful with both methods. I'm using VS 2008 SP1?

VS 2008 Aero In Windows Vista?
Jul 20, 2011how to get working aero in Visual Basic 2008.I am making this media player and got everything I need for that. But what I really wanted is aero since Windows Vista got a nice interface and a few lucky people got it.But the tutorials I got worked great on Windows 7! However, I couldn't get aero because of a transparency key. (I swear I use a color picker to see if background color and transparency key are the same color.)I can't get it to work any piece of code I give.But the good part is that aero WILL work on any 7 or Vista without any form change, but the text is white with blue specks and that is not what I want.
EDIT:i found how to do it now! you need to use the property UseCompatibleTextRendring and put it to True. Now the problem is how do i do the same for the rest? (microsoft was to lazy to edit the controls)

VS 2008 Vista - Set File Association?
Dec 19, 2009Ok, I'm trying to tackle this topic again. I have searched for setting file associations in the registry, and I only find references to adding the association the ClassesRoot, which, in Vista 64, throws an Access Denied exception.I would like to know if it is possible to set the association somewhere other than classesroot in the registry. Or, if it must be set in HKCR, then the proper way to temporarily elevate the application to perform the registry change.
What should happen is user clicks a button in my program to add the file associations, a Vista security dialog pops up prompting the user to confirm the operation or enter administrative username and password, user confirms, application sets the file associations, then drops back down to regular security.

View 3 RepliesPassing Information Between Forms/dialogs (Form -> Dialog -> Dialog)?
Dec 22, 2009I often use the process of displaying a dialog from a form, with the dialog user input then used to update the main form without any problem. In a new scenerio I launch the main application screen, I then show a login dialog ontop of the main app screen and can launch another dialog from the login if a new user is required. The plan is to update the login dialog (updating a combobox to reflect the addition of a new user) from the new user dialog.
See code below :-
'Update login forms user list as new user added successfully
frmRoomBookingLogin.cboLogin.DataSource = Nothing
frmRoomBookingLogin.txtPassword.Text = "Updating password from dialog"
MessageBox.Show("The password text is " & frmRoomBookingLogin.txtPassword.Text)
[code]....
The messagebox implies the dialog has been updated yet the text does not change. Is it possible to update the dialog when using a setup such as Form -> dialog -> dialog? I'm intrigued as why the dialog does not reflect changes. I have never refreshed/repainted the dialog as never required to in my other examples when updating a form from a dialog and never encountered a problem when using a two tier form setup.

VS 2008 - Route - Take For My Program As Far As UAC And Vista Is Concerned
Jun 1, 2009This is an extension of this post: [URL]
The reason I am starting a new thread is to be more concise; explain the exact issue I now face in detail. Reading my last thread may help, but what I provide here should be sufficient. I am basically trying to find the best route I should take for my program as far as UAC and Vista is concerned. My program (SysPad) is accessible through my sig).
My program requires constant write access. The purpose of my program is to provide access to a quick notepad-esque program that is directly accessible from the Notification Area. It saves every time the user types into one of the textboxes.
The issue lies in the fact that when UAC is enabled on Vista, there is no folder that is writable to without elevation to Administrator rights. The hitch is that my program is designed to be a startup utility and the issue is that a user who has UAC enabled will have to allow my program through UAC confirmation every time my program runs at startup.
Basically, I am looking for options that will resolve this and make it less "painful" on the end user who uses UAC.
Basically, the only idea I've been able to come up with that is least annoying/intrusive, is to create a Launcher.exe program that does not require elevation and have it sitting in the Notification Area with the same icon as my program at startup. When the user goes to access the program, it then launches the actual program (exiting the launcher) thus invoking the UAC verification.
Of course this would happen every time they boot their PC or restart my program; but, at least they won't be asked for UAC verification as soon as their PC boots.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I really would like to get this to work with UAC as best as possible. Otherwise, I could just make my program check if UAC is enabled, and if it is, tell them they can't use my program lol. But, I'd rather not do that.
VS 2008 Form Hangs Under Vista 64 Bits?
Jul 8, 2010I have detected a problem running my application under Vista 64 bits OS.
My application is developed using VB.NT 2008 and compiled as x86
I have a main form. In this form there is an option to open other form. TThis second form must return a few values to the main form. When the user click on this 2nd form, to return values, this form hangs up (2nd form hangs up)
But for what I could have known, it continues executing the rest of code that exists after to open form. I want to say that the form dialog (2nd form) is not closed (hangs up) but it the code continues being executed, because I have seen that inserts the data in the database.
The application not returns any error and any exception.
