Make Desktop Application Communicate Over The Web?
Nov 8, 2011I have developed a desktop application that connects to a MS SQL server over a network. One of my clients wants a third party company to be able to use my desktop application but connect to the MS SQL database in my client�s office. Obviously my client could open the ports to the SQL server to make this accessible from the web, but this is a huge security issue and obviously not one I want to even recommend. Is there a way that I can make my desktop application securely communicate over the web to the SQL database?

View 5 RepliesSet A Form On Desktop?
Dec 8, 2009In my application, when the main form loads, it also loads a second form.
This form has it's ShowInTaskBar property set to False, has no control box, and is not movable by the user.
This form is only used to show information about the PC, to the User.
I need a way to make the form pretty much completely inaccessible and appear beneath all windows. When the application loads, the second form loads above other windows and you can Alt+Tab to that form.
I was wondering if there was a way to get it to"set" itself on the desktop and no appear in the application list when you Alt+Tab.

Oct 1, 2011I've spent a while searching around and I can't find a solution to this:I have a transparent, borderless form that displays a clock. I can load this just fine, but I want the clock to be part of the desktop, so it cannot take focus, is behind other applications, and is not hidden with Win+D (similar to applications like RainMeter).
I need the solution to work with VB.Net (I'm using 2010)
Docking Form To Desktop
Oct 15, 2009Is there anyway to "dock" a form to the desktop? I have a "child" form that will display info when the main form loads. This form is not meant for the User to interact with it. When I load the form and other windows are open, it displays over those windows until I minimize and then restore the windows. So I want to be able to dock it to the desktop.
View 3 RepliesMinimize A Form To The Top Of The Desktop?
Feb 18, 2011I created an app that allows the user to look up pricing and search for items, to help speed up dealing with customer asking for pricing and what not. The form stays atop all windows at the top of the desktop, and is setup, currently, to shrink down (or up in this case) by double clicking on the title bar; I've disabled the minimize and maximize buttons.
How it is setup now is okay, but not as sleek as I want it to be. Is there any way to minimize the form to just the caption bar, like what happens with a command window; it minimizes to the a title bar above the start menu, but I want it to minimize to the top of the screen, almost blending into the title bar of the other open windows. Right now, the form is out of the clients way when minimized, or shrunk up, but it looks kind of lame, with a thin strip of the gray part the form still showing.
Desktop Showing Through Picture Box On Second Form?
Nov 10, 2011I'm new to .net programming, but I do have some experience programming. I've used a picture box to make a custom button.

Thishappened for images with an alpha channel and also images that used the transparency key. I tried it with a winform instead and the images with an alpha channel worked fine, but the transparency keyed images showed the screen. All

View 3 RepliesOpening Form Causes Another Desktop App To Come To The Front?
Jul 25, 2011I had started a similar thread http:[url].... in May but got side tracked, tried to resurrect it by posting back to it but not getting any response so I am starting anew.I have a .net 2.0, VS2010 application. I have users that occasionaly have the following occur:
Open my application, do some work, leave it open go to another application, excel, IE, Firefox, outlook come back to my application, open a new form My application form opens but instead of it being on top with the focus some other application that was previously opened (the excel, IE, etc.) pops up the user can minimize the offending application and there is my form or go to the taskbar and select my application and there is the form
This post echos my problem: http:[url]....Although my app is a windows form app.The issue arises if I had been checking my email for example in outlook or I may have had IE open for example, so the other aplications on on the desktop not minimized. Both my app and the Outlook(the other application is not important it happens with any open application) are open on the desktop. I finish checking email, I click on my app to bring it to the foreground. I then click on a button that results in opening another form. My "I am working" form pops up. The main app now ready to display the new form closes the"I am working" form, outlook comes to the foreground and I can then see the new form in my app get displayed behind outlook.
The code flow is my app is opened, a midi child is created in the main app window.a double click on a contol causes a background worker to be started. That background worker opens a form that just shows a spinning ajax control with the words "working" in it. Meanwhile the app is busy prepping a form for display.When the form is ready to be displayed the background worker is cancelled which removes the popup form and then the newly constructed form is displayed.
At first I thought this had something to do with the background worker and a different thread being created but that is not the case.I can replace the background worker with a simple popup of a modeless dialog. Of course any work done in the background worker is not done but the modeless dialog will not block the main app. And when the main app closes the modeless dialog I get the same behavior with the last opened desktop app coming to the foreground and I can see my newly created form popup behind it.
I can of course just as soon as return from the call to close the working form give my app focus but that still results in the other desktop app coming to the foreground briefly and then my app coming to the foreground, not really a solution. With that bit of info it seems that my application is for some reason giving up focus between the time the working form is closed and the main app new form pops up.My code is way to big to post and it involves DB reads so it is just not feasible to post it.I tried recreating the scenario in a much smaller project that really did not represent much of the complexity of my application and could not get the issue reproduced.
Placing A Form Above Desktop, But Below All Other Windows?
Aug 26, 2009I'm new at the forums but not to .net development. I'm trying to make an application, which stays above the Dektop level but ALWAYS below any opened window. This application cannot be minimized, it has to be visible as a desktop background (just for getting you the main idea). As I was reading, I found that the way to make the form not to minimize is by using the WndProc function, and intercepting the Minimize message. My question is.. which of all the available messages is the correct for this case?.
P.D.3 (And last one I hope): See, the main reason of this application, is to make some kind of an "Active Desktop" function, which is not supported by Windows XP 64-bit. As XP64 doens't come with Active Desktop to use Web Pages as Desktop backgrounds, my idea is to make an application which loads certain web page and put's it on the desktop background.
