Here is what I've done:1) Created an Excel COM add-in for Excel 20032) Added a NotifyIcon to the Windows taskbar notification area (aka system tray) during ThisAddIn_Startup3) Added a ContextMenuStrip with a ToolStripButton to the NotifyIconWhy is it when I right click on the NotifyIcon, Excel gains focus?

Ideally, I'd like to be able to click back on Excel and only have the ContextMenuStrip close and Excel regain focus.

Set Focus On Another Window?

Aug 19, 2011

I am basically trying to list all visible (in taskbar) in a listbox and then, after clicking a button the selected process will catch focus (if it's not minimized). However, I have been using this code, and only seems to work on Notepad, on NOTHING else.

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class Form1
' This is 2 functions from user32.dll (1 for finding the application and 1 to set it to foreground with focus)

[Code]....

I have also used MANY alternative API's to test it on, it seems that after the line "ParenthWnd = ...." only the notepad window can be found using findwindow.

Hold And Send Key To Another Window In Focus?

Jun 30, 2010

I need to have a VB form that runs out of focus behind another program. When I press "A" (I'll use "A" and "B" as my example keys), "B" is then sent to the program in focus from the VB form and held until "A" is pressed again.

I've worked out how to get it to repeat a key press hundreds of times but I need it to HOLD the key, rather than to just Press and De-press countless times.Here's the piece of code which repeats the letter "A" 100 times:

Dim Index As Integer 'My count variable
For Index = 1 To 100 'Count from 1 to 100

Show A Window Without Taking Focus?

Oct 22, 2009

to be so simple turns out to have me scratching my head.I have a program that monitors input inside of Quickbooks. When a customer is entered into a sales order my program checks my database for any special information and if it exists, opens a TopMost window to the lower third of the screen with the information showing that is special to that customer. The problem I have is that when the customer is found and the window opens, focus is taken away from Quickbooks and given to my newly opened form. Is there a way to prevent this so that the users input isn't interrupted?

With frmMessage
.Width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width
.TopMost = True

Start Application Without Window Focus?

Dec 14, 2010

I can't find anything about a Visual Basic application that doesn't open with focus I've written an application that takes the current clipboard text and changes all letters to lower case, then the first letter of every word to upper case (the first letter after a space), this is for when I download a file that I want to look neat (such as an mp3 audio file). It's output is then placed in the clipboard to be used as the filename (or text).

I've set a shortcut key (Ctrl+Alt+X) to open the application by placing a shortcut in Accessories so it runs instantly whenever I hit the shortcut combination. However the application steals focus when it runs, so as soon as it ends I lose focus altogether, and I then have to Alt+Tab and find where I was when I used the shortcut! There are 2 possibilities for my application, the latter is what I really want, but the former is OK for me:

1. I use Ctrl+C to copy, The application runs and then switches to the original focus (focus before using my shortcut combination), I can then Ctrl+V to paste.

2. The application runs WITHOUT stealing focus altogether, this way I can have the application copy the selected text for me, and replace it aswel

Detecting A Keypress When The Window Is Out Of Focus Or Hidden?

Apr 12, 2012

If my window is hidden or out of focus, how do I detect a keypress? The idea is that it just sits in the tray as an icon until a key combination is pressed and then it pops back up again.

Forms :: Unable To Set Cursor Focus In Sub Window?

Dec 20, 2009

currently I have a Customer Master screen. Inside the screen, I have a button which call the Customer sub window.

When I call the sub window, I want the set the cursor at Textbox1.

The problem is, when I call the window for 1st time, the cursor stops at Textbox1. When I call the window for 2nd or 3rd time, the cursor stops at other textbox or buttons inside the sub window.

Seems like Textbox1.focus is not working.

Stop Notification Window From Stealing Focus?

Apr 15, 2012

In my WPF application I have a notification window that appears at the top right for 3 seconds and closes. Just a normal notification window.But when it appears, it takes the focus away from any window that was active.For example, if I'm typing in Chrome and the window appears, chrome looses focus and my typing is halted.The notification window is set to top most so that it will appear on top of other windows, but how do I go about stopping it from stealing the focus of the user?

Disable The Focus To Parent Window(Form) While The Msgbox Is Opened?

Dec 13, 2008

I am having form called Test1 which contains button( Button1). When I press the button the message box is getting displaying,but at the same time I am accessing the Form Test1. It should not be the case, because before closing the message box the control should not allow to focus the Test1. But in my case the control is allowing to focus the Test1(form) before closing the message box.

Sample code.

If myReader.Read() Then
MsgBox("Matched record exist.", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Data Tool")
Else

Forms :: Base Window Events Are Triggered When Focus Is On Another Form On Its Top?

Apr 3, 2009

I am migrating my code from vb.net 1.1 framework to vb.net 3.5In my windows application, the base window has some buttons and events are written for the same.I have shortcuts defined for these buttons also, for example: ctrl+d, DEL (keyboard) etc.Now i open a property Grid form on top of my base window for a selected object.Even when the focus is on this property grid, i am noticing that my base window events are firing on pressing those shortcuts.

example:I select some text in my property grid and hit delete button from keyboard. The delete event that i have written for the selected object gets fired and the text is not deleting.I fail to understand why is it happening. It wasnt behaving like this in .net 1.1.In .net 1.1 it would delete the text and only when the focus is back on the base window, hitting Delete would call the event.How do i control such a behavior? Is there some property that i need to set for property grid in .net 3.5 to prevent base window events from firing till the time focus is on property grid form?

Windows Form Closing Automatically When Parent Window Gets Focus?

Jan 24, 2012

VB Windows form Application.. I am developing an application of which part of the program is around configuration settings allowing the user to enter configuration items. When the menubar item for configuration menu is clicked on the main form the menu opens.This is fine but the mainform should not become active again until the configuration menu has closed. This does not happen right now and the mainform simply comes to the foreground and the configuration form goes to the background... I realize that coding an event on the Child form to handle this would not work because the child window loses control and the main form gains control.. I thought of coding a function as follows on the main form but it does not seem logical because i would have to add to it for everyform and do checking to make sure the child is actually open before trying to close it..

Private Sub Form1_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.GotFocus
MailSettingsWindow.Close()
RentalSettingsWindow.Close()

[code]....

I did away with the above sub routine and used the below code as per the recomendation of using showdialog which works just as i was looking for.

Private Sub MailingAndEmailSettingsToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MailingAndEmailSettingsToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim MailConfig As New MailSettingsWindow()
MailSettingsWindow.Showdialog()

Not Bringing The Values

Nov 17, 2009

The project im working on for school im setting up a bill statement..depending on what letters are put into the textbox's should change to the num that is set for the variable letter. This is the code i have right now and its giving me 2 issue's. One is that when it gets to the line changing input1 to num1 it gives me an error saying that cannot convert from I to double or int type. Second problem im having is that the value's are not being converted to numbers. Its staying as lowercase letters and therefore not doing the math.
