Capture Event In Another Thread?

May 6, 2012

I'd like to create a WebBrowser for the purpose of taking a screenshot of a website. Once its finished it will update a thumbnail image in a ListView. I'd like the whole operation to be done in the background so the UI remains responsive.I toyed with Creating the WebBrowser in a new thread and calling Navigate. I can use a loop to watch for the ReadyState of the webbrowser before I do the screencapture. However it will only continue with the thread if I use Application.DoEvents in that loop. I've never been a huge fan of doing this and would prefer to watch for an event instead. However if I add a handles clause to the WebBrowser it doesn't fire (I tried creating the WebBrowser in the thread, and also tried by declaring it as shared within the class scope).

Packet Capture And Threading, Capture Library Waits For "thread Stop"

Apr 5, 2009

So I am hacking together an app which listens to traffic using SharpPcap library, it reconstructs the packets from sessions using the code from TpcRcon.

Listening and reconstructing part work on their own . What I want is on each packet arrival main window gets an event so it can display the packet , and when session is reconstructed display a complete packet (I am interested in HTTP ones) . -That is where it breaks with weird symptoms: for example right now it does not stop on invoking stop listening method - the sharppcap library function hangs there forever waiting on this line of code : m_pcapThreadEvent.WaitOne();//wait for the 'stopped' signal from thread

I also had it not working and crashing in sharppcap function because I had omitted one parameter in form delegate- which makes no sense, because form delegate does not deal with packet capture at all and only reacts on "New Packet" event from my "Listener" class (which is only there to notify main form)

My app starts as module main instancing class "Listener". MainForm has it
registered as friend with event and handles even "New Packet"

Main Form:
Private Sub uiListenStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btListenStart.Click
aLogger.AddMessage("Started Listening")

ALERT: Event Handling - Capture The Event For When The F1 Key Is Pressed

Feb 15, 2011

I have alot of experience in working in VBA for excel, but not so much experience in creating my own structures so it's all still a bit foggy. I'm trying to capture the event for when the F1 key is pressed, not just when the form is active, but anytime the program is running. The code below expressing the handling is automatically generated for me in VB Express... But I'd like to change the situation to encompass anytime the program is open. I guess I have to reference events that happen in windows in general, but i don't know how to do it. I think i have to create the even in a class module?

Capture [Enter] Key Event

Apr 29, 2010

Ok, so this is VERY simple to do IF I was working with a regular Textbox control. But of course, Microsoft does not have an "AcceptsReturn" property for a MaskedTextbox Control.

So, if the user finishes typing in the MaskedTextbox control and hits the [Enter] key.... How do I capture that key stroke with this type of control? Also, what if this MaskedTextbox is on a UserControl, not a regular WindowsForm?

I have the following code to control how a form is shut down. Specifically, when they click the red x at the top of the form. My question is, how do I control the minimize button at the top of the page. I want my forms to minimize to the information bar instead. I know how to send it there if I can capture the minimize event.

Capture Event When Value In Datagridview Is Changed?

Apr 2, 2010

I've been searching all over and I'm either not searching for the right words or it just doesn't exist. I've got a datagridview (dgv) on a form with some textboxes that are databound to different fields in the dgv's datasource. I want to capture an event if someone changes a value through one of the databound controls so I can mark the row as modified. I've been going through the dgv events trying to capture something, but I can't find anything that fires when a value is changed. The dgv is read only, so the values can only be changed through the databount textboxes.

How to I know if someone changes a value in the dgv? Is there a setting in the dgv that will tell me if a row is modified?

Allow The Child To Add A Handler To Capture The Parents Event

Dec 8, 2011

I know generally it is not the best solution for a child to handle an event of parent. Take this for example; Mainform loads UserControlOne, UserControlOne handles all UserControlOne needs to. How ever we need a MenuStrip/ToolStrip. MainForm does not need to know much about what UserControlOne is doing. Other then receive some information on a statusbar. Right now events are controlling this.

The menustrip/toolstrip need to be able to speak to UserControlOne, for example when buttons are clicked on the strips. Would you; Allow the child to add a handler to capture the parents event? Move the MenuStrip/ToolStrip/StatusStrip all to UserControlOne so we can ignore all this event hassle? My Major concern with this is now we have taken all the head ache away from MainForm and crushed it into UserControlOne. Any suggestions?

Design An Outlook AddIn To Capture New Mail Event

Apr 17, 2009

How To Design an Outlook AddIn to capture New Mail Event In Vb .net. I've been able to use code to read the number of unread email messages in an Outlook Inbox. I'm trying to design a plug-in which will be more functional and Catch whenever the SendReceive event is fired. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I am writing an outlook addin that is supposed to check for any new email messages. I am trying to attach to the send/receive action that occurs within Outlook (Either auto S/R or manual S/R). I have read on a forum online that there is no such event as a Send'Receive, how ever you can use a NewMailEvent. Can anyone demonstrate how this could be done in VB 2005/2008? I would like the Plug-In to check everytime Outlook receives new email.

Possible To Use Exclamation System Event To Validate Data Capture?

Aug 23, 2010

In a Windows XP Pro environment, my system uses a mainframe emulator in a window in which a scanning application is running. The data populating the mainframe app comes from various instruments, scales, barcode scanners, etc.. The data inputs are captured by a winwedge type RS232 data aquisition software.

When all the data is processed correctly, the mainframe application sends an "operation completed" message and creates an exclamation system event associated with a specific sound to inform the user.

My goal is to create a MS Access application that would use the Exclamation system event to validate writing the barcode that was just read to a database without further querying the mainframe, creating a local database. I only want to write the barcode when the mainframe application completed and therefore played the sound.

Event For The Termination Of A Thread And Process?

Jul 12, 2009

At the moment, I am writing a class that deals with starting an application in a thread, as well as being able to monitor the closure of the thread and process, and the creation of the thread and process through events. I have absoloutly no problems with monitering the creation of the thread and its internal process within the subs that create them. I placed notifications within the "myprocess_Exited",(for the process closure) and "myprocess_Disposed"(for the thread closure) events.

The problem comes when I terminate the outside application manually; these events do not appear to fire when the application is closed by the user, rather than by code.I thought, since the application closes with an error code when it is terminated in such a way, that it raises the "myprocess_ErrorDataRecieved" event. But this doesn't appear to happen either. Here is some of the code from that class:

'Some of the decleratoins
Event ProcessStarted(ByVal Process As Process)
Event ThreadStarted(ByVal Thread As System.Threading.Thread)

Suspend A Thread While Waiting For Event?

Jul 1, 2011

I am trying to use a separate thread to handle specific events in VB.Net. The idea being that I do not want the main application to be held up if a particular event handler takes awhile to finish. How do I get my main thread loop to suspend the thread while allowing it to handle events when they occur?When I create a Windows Forms application, there is a UI thread that handles the UI events. I do not imagine that this thread is continuously polling some variable to see if someone has pressed a button. I imagine the thread is suspended until the OS tells it there is something to do. I was trying to figure out how to ensure that my event handlers were not being executed by the UI thread. From what I have read, I can do this by raising the events from a different thread. But what does that thread do while it is waiting for other events, just exit?

I wanted to know how to create a thread that works like the UI thread, only it processes the events I want it to process. I am not sure how events work in .Net. I understand that event handlers are run on the thread that raises the event. I believe that .Net allocates threads from some thread pool to process events such as timer events. I am not clear on how it works, though, and what those threads are doing when they are not handling events.
