[VB2008] SetForegroundWindow Not Always Works?
Sep 20, 2010
I have the Hwnd and the Title of every running Application with own Button on the task bar I want to swap from them (something like Alt+tab) by the mouse wheel I hook the mouse wheel and I find the Hwnd of the next Application, in Task bar buttons order, incrementing a Index flag Now the problem in to put in Foregrond the new window.I try those two codes:
Code:
Microsoft.VisualBasic.AppActivate(Title(Index))
and that code found on the web (where in effect I can find tons of SetForegroundWindow problems)...
Code:
ForceForegroundWindow(Hwnd(Index))
Private Function ForceForegroundWindow(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr) As Boolean
Dim ThreadID1 As IntPtr
[code]....
both those codes work perfectly for hours after I launch my application and I do nothing but swap the windows... I swap the windows and them go in foreground without any problem.The problem is that if I click in a window, both the codes don't work more: all I obtain is to flash incessantly the buttons on the task bar.Evidently clicking on a window I change something (Z-order???)how to restore the initial settings (first run of my program) before to read the code above?

The Sub that make the job is this:
Private Sub DoMouse(ByVal flags As NativeMethods.MOUSEEVENTF, ByVal Wheel As Integer)
'wheel = +-120 if wheel event, 0 in other cases
'added hoping to improve the code, but nothing changes, Hwnd is a global variable

I am trying to start a thread in a form for a function that takes about 5 seconds to run so I can keep the UI from locking up. I have the following code below, but it fails when it hits "thread1.start." When I watch it though a debugger it just goes strait to "End Sub" and it does not go to the getSecurityStuff() method that I am expecting it to go to.

I need to send two keys (" " and {Enter}) to a security warning in an Acrobat Window from a VB.NET application. Here is the function I use :
Private Sub SendAcroKey()
Dim HWND As IntPtr
HWND = FindWindow("Adobe Acrobat", vbNullString)
[Code]....
But I can't get FindWindow() to work properly, it always returns "0". I guess I'm not giving the good parameters, lpClassName and lpWindowName, but I dont now how to get the right ones. So here is the question : How can I know the lpClassName and lpWindowName of a security warning in Adobe Acrobat 7 professional ???
I really have to work this out but theres not much information on the web about those function, even on MSDN.

I'm trying to use SetForegroundWindow to automatically get the focus on my App whenever the mouse is on top of it, that's working very well in the debug environment but not out of it.
When I try to launch the App outside of the debug environment, the App icon flashing on the taskbar (Windows 7) and I have to press on it to get the App in focus.
how can I avoid this and get it to work like in the debug environment ?

I have created lots of applications with visual basic 2008, tested them on many other computers, worked like a charm. After I moved to 2010, all my applications compiled, ran without a problem even on different machines (worst case scenario was that some older PCs needed the 4.0 framework to be installed first). Anyway suddenly I ran into a very weird problem which I cant figure out.I have Visual C# 2008 (Express Edition) on this machine installed and everything ran/compiled flawlessly but when I tried the application on a different computer, it can't even start. It crashes as soon as you attempt to run it and displays that 'Application Stopped Working' error.
I also tried to compile it as Release, then start the exe .. still the same problem. Sorry again for asking this on a VB forum, I just started playing around with C# after VB and didn't know where to ask.Aditional Info: Visual Basic 2008 and 2010 programs work perfectly on the same machines on which Visual C# 2008 doesn't. (I would be glad if some one could at least re-direct me to somewhere else )

UserLogin.zip Starting off with a very simple user database with encryption based on [URL]..Updating to an SQL database WORKS FINE using the SqlDB classes. Updating to a 2003 Access MDB DOES NOT - when I use OleDB Classes. They are almost identical. I am getting an error ""Operation must use an updateable query", but all the articles on this do not seem relevant. I need to get the MDB working.

I have a COM object that works fine in VB.NET, but not in C#. Both projects are .NET 4 console applications. The COM object loads in C#, but the methods don't return any values. Why would it work in VB.NET and not C#?

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.now i think it means that it cant find the mysql connecter and data and stuff but the user shouldn't need to have that right? it should come with the app to make it work for everyone

I'm trying to know if the scrollbars (in my case, the horizontal scrollbar) are showed in the main access window. I use GetScrollBarInfo.There are 2 days I'm, searching info about the function and the parameters, but they are hard to find.I can only find general descriptions of the API.I found some constant values in the ApiViewer 2004.
Here is my API-calling code (in a form class-module):

I thought I knew how ViewState worked, but I was wrong.I don't understand why the following ASPX page preserves the value typed into the TextBox after clicking on the Button?(ViewState is disabled for both the page and the TextBox.)

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but the VB Script forum seemed only for inet apps. This is a script that runs when a user logs onto windows to map network drives.The PROBLEM: When a user logs into Windows on our network, this script runs, but sometimes it does not work. There is no MsgBox and the network drives do not map. However once Windows is loaded completely to the desktop, you can run the script and it will map the drives.
Does anyone see anything wrong with this code?? I did not write it, but am in charge of finding out why it is woring sporadically.

My curse seems to be SendInput... I have tried many sites and code variations and it never works right... it always returns an error. So can someone just whip together a quick class that has 3 public methods, one for keyboard (that takes a Keys data type) one for mouse, and one for Hardware?

I am developing an application that will engage a bar code scanner and will need to be listening for input even when it is not the active application or from a separate thread from within the application. I can get a handle to the hook when I set the project to compile for Net 2.When I set my project to compile for Net 4 I cannot get a handle from the SetWindowsHookEx.Same code, no changes at all.While obviously I can get a working DLL out of this it really is buggin the out of me.Additionally, if one of my colegues needs to adjust this DLL in the future and does not know, they may compile it in Net 4.I also have no idea what will be the effects if I reference this DLL in another project that is compiled in Net 4.Lastly, I am worried that I may encounter more difficulties like this in the future if I cannot figure out what the difference is.[code]

So my vb program works inside of vs 2008 with the code below but when i build it and put it in windows home server it crashes. The problem is with the if statement. If i take it out the program works just fine. the if statement searches the output from the shell.
schedule = "SCHTASKS /Create /SC " & Often & " /RU Administrator /RP " & password & " /ST " & TextTime.Text & ":00" & " /TN " & title & " /TR " & path & " > C:copypalslogs" & title & ".txt"

I have the following regular expression for validating a file name:
^(([a-zA-Z]:|))?(((.)|(..)|(. %5D">^/:*?"|<>. |([^/:*?"|<>][^/:*?"|<>. ]))?))). %5D">^/:*?"|<>. |([^/:*?"|<>]*[^/:*?"|<>. ]))?$
I can get it to work in VB.NET but not C#. I can't figure out why it works in one but not the other.

As far as I can tell the patterns are identical in both languages with escaping. When I run the VB code I get a match. When I run the C# code I get nothing.

I'm trying to get split to work.Here is my code
Public Sub CheckUpdate(ByVal FileURL As String)
Dim instance As WebClient = New WebClient
Dim ApplyTo As String = instance.DownloadString(FileURL)
asd = ApplyTo.Split(",")
End Sub
I use it like this
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
NewUpdate.CheckUpdate("version.txt")
Label1.Text = NewUpdate.asd(0)
End Sub
(yeah I know i use it on local txt for now!)So with asd(0) it reads the whole file. If i check asd(1) I get IndexOutOfRange . So how does Split() work?

We have an application(.exe), longtime back some developer wrote the code and now he is not with the company. I happend to be support this application. I have to do some modifications in the code.I have a .vb file and .Config file with me. The .VB file is calling a SSIS pkg and doing some dataload and creates some files and it formate the file names what it generates and it send emails to large group of ppl.I have opend the code in Visaulstudio but i do not have any option to debug or do some breakpoints.How can I use this config file?Do I have to add both of them in the project? To debug I need SSIS pkg as well so do I have to add all these 3 of them into my solution?I know where to change the code, after changing the code how can I create a application EXE file?

Using VB.Net I want to automatically size the height of the headers in a DataGridView so I am calling AutoResizeColumnHeadersHeight during the form load after the data has been populated.
The method doesn't appear to do anything, but does work if I do the following:
- put a breakpoint on grid.AutoResizeColumnHeadersHeight()
- open quickwatch on the grid
- expand the child properties
- close quickwatch and hit F5 to continue processing
The resizing then works I assume the reason is that evaluating one of the properties of the grid is causing the method to behave differently. Does anybody know either what I should be doing differently, or a workaround - e.g. which property do I need to evaluate to make it work?

I don't think the problem lies within the codes but..The last thing I did was use datediff.. and show the result on a label.. and when I wasn't satisfied with the result I changed a few lines, and I noticed it was still the same whenever I run it.I've tried changing/deleting the codes to my forms but whenever I run the program, it still works. I even tried deleting the form and it still works.

I have the following implementation :

At the time of error str has value 'SheetName'!RangeName (This is fine.. )
I am also getting a message box before the exception :
Can not open the source file C:file.xlsx (Isn't that obvious because its in use)
this works in VB as a Macro.
