View 5 RepliesI like to read text from another application's buttons, labels and textboxes with the help of "SendMessage". I've tried so many different code examples, but nothing worked. Maybe somebody of you has a small VB.Net-Example on your harddrive and explain it a bit to me.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to extend some features of a external programm that is not able to use plugins or something. So I have to write my own app that reads the text from a textbox from this external application and trigger some own actions.
By using the FindWindow API in user32.dll I allready catched up the handle for the external application. But now I am kind of stuck. By using Spy++ from the Visual Studio Tools I got the information that the class name from the control I would like to read from is "WindowsForms10.EDIT.app.0.218f99c", but there are several of them. Additionally every time the external app starts it creates a new control id for the textbox I want to read.
i am trying to write a simple programme to allow the user to open and read data from a RS232 port on a medical equipment and save the data into text file. Iam not a techie. I am totally new to programming save a few projects in foxpro(lol.....yeah oldshool).
View 4 Replieslike seen on the web, with both the two following codes:
ShowWindow(Hwnd, SW_MINIMIZE)
ShowWindow(Hwnd, SW_SHOWMINIMIZED)
I can minimize without problems an EXTERNAL application window from it Hwnd.The big problem is that once minimized the application cannot be manually managed: also if I close my program, both left click or right click on the external application taskbar button don't work: I can't maximize it and I can close it only by Ctrl+Alt+Del... why?
if I use Spy++ and pass it Finder over the controls of every desktop window I can see the Handle of each of these controls.
what Api / procedure is used to make this job?
What I want is to have the ability for the user once the values are entered into the Textboxes, the user has the ability to save the values for retrival a some later time. This is what I have so far

View 1 RepliesI have a situation where I have a vb.net program that uses two connection strings. This program will be used on multiple web servers on multiple domains and the only difference for any of them is the two connection strings.What would be the best solution to read in these connection strings from a file separate from my actual .vb code?
Ideally I want to be able to drop the .vb and the connection string file into its own folder on any number of asp.net websites and not update anything else (for example add any connections to the web.config or anything) than the external file containing the connection strings, I assume something like xml would suffice?
I am trying to read data from an external device using MSComm control but the problem is I am getting wrong data. I am recieving 1 byte data but the first three bits are wrong so anything greater than 31 sent from the external devices is recieved wrongly. eg. if I am sending 63(111111) from the device then the input from MSComm control gives me 159(10011111).Due to this reason I tried SerialPort from .Net framework and was surprised to see that it is working properly.

I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. Some of the programs I am writing make extensive use of External files (saved games, data, item lists, etc.) I could use an easy way to get these files to ride allong during deployment (cd mostly). adding them to the resources works for some static pictures, but custom structures into lists of info to read and write from are beond that features abilities, same with the settings feature. I have found in other help referance to "MageUI.exe" so is downloading a .net SDK my solution or is there a better trick I can use?

I would like to know the Handle of every tournament open of PokerStars.
The problem is that even if I open 100 tournaments at the same time, there is ONLY ONE running process called "PokerStars.exe".....
So I cant' use the
Dim MyProcess As Process() = Process.GetProcessesByName("PokerStars")
hwnd = MyProcess(0).MainWindowHandle
because I obtain only one hwnd... the hwnd of the last clicked tournament table.
So I think: every table has it button on the task bar, with the text of the table window.
If I should be able to retrieve that text, may be starting from the text I can find every table handle with some API.
But how to get the task bar buttons text??
