how can I capture an event like a button click or timer event, if I created the controls at run-time?
Ex: Dim a As Button
Dim b As Timer
I want to capture the click event of the button "a" and the timer event of the timer "b".
I've written an app with a simple textbox which attempts to identify a user from their typing habits (interval between key presses, duration key is held, time between key strokes ie a->s is quicker than a->v for some users, shorter for others depending on typing style). It's far from perfect but it does correctly identify moderate-large differences in style.I'm hoping to use this as a form of security monitor - If the typing style of the user doesn't fit a recognised pattern, report to a central server.
Of course, the next step in testing this is to begin to capture "regular" typing habits - ie when browsing, switching between apps, etc.What I can't figure out how to do is capture keyboard input for all applications (excluding the login/welcome screen, alternate desktops, etc. - I have no reason to parse that and there's probably not enough input to analyse anyway)Disclaimer: Yes, I know this comes dangerously close to writing a keylogger which is verboten but if I wanted to do that, I'd write a keyboard driver in C++ - I'm sure it would be far more streamlined and easier to obfuscate than a hulking .Net MSIL assembly. I have no doubt I'll be fending off "That's a keylogger" comments but I've hit a wall and need to ask somewhere.
How can we capture events of msmq in vb.net.I dont see any events if I declare object type of System.MessageQueue. Do I need to include the COM MS Message Queue 3.0 lib to deal with events and message queue?
View 6 RepliesI'm writing a Windows Forms app that uses a DataGridView control. I have row select enabled on the control. I would like to trap the DoubleClick event, but it doesn't seem to fire reliably - I often have to double-click on a row 2 or 3 times before the event is triggered. Could anyone point me to a way to capture this more reliably?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to automate a product that provides no such automation capability.I've take a cursory look at loading the app in a separate AppDomain, and also, through reflection, executing the Program.Main() to get the app running. I also tried getting the windowhandle from a separately created Process object (which I've learned will not work).If I have a reference to their assembly added to my project so I can reference an instance of "TheirProduct.FormMain", what, if it's possible, is the best way to go about capturing events from that form? What I need to do is to be able to capture a couple events, and perform a few Button.PerformClick() against the form.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to find a way to capture keyboard events with the intent of preventing users from being able to hit Ctrl + Alt + Del while my application is running. I've spent several hours poking around looking for inspiration but only finding unclear and half-baked examples. As such, I was thrilled to stumble across the article: Managing Low-Level Keyboard Hooks in VB .NET written by Paul Kimmel [URL] This article is insightful, comprehensive, well-written, and I thought it was a huge help. One little problem though, the code that was provided did not work, (I knew it was too good to be true!).
Now, Mr. Kimmel seemed very knowledgable and I think that he probably tested his code, so quite likely the problem is something that I'm doing wrong seeing as I am a newbie. As the article suggests I cut and pasted his code into a module in my project (solution I guess is the proper term), and I call the HookKeyboard method from a button on a form, and Presto! Nothing happens. Stepping through this code I see that the second line in HookKeyboard:

Ok, I have an Ambir Signature Pad, and i just want to get the signature as an image (lol just).Well, I was wondering if there is a way to 'connect' to the device via usb and treat it (the pencil) as a mouse and get the coord's when they drag.
View 1 RepliesSo 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")

View 3 RepliesAfter a long while I started a project in VB.Net. I am making a security cam application for my own room. What I have done so far is capturing image from webcam (15 fps) to a imagebox and copying a still image from that imagebox to another in an intervall I have decided. Afterwards my code saves the image with a date and time as jpg. The code for capturing image I have found in this forum (iCam). My problem is (by the way I am an amateur programmer ) that the first imagebox (for realtime image capture) is not being showed (I dont want to see it). But if it is not active then all still images (saved as jpg) are all black. I think it is a drawing issue. I think imagebox is not being drawn (because it is not visible (actually the form is not visible)) and that is why still images are black. But I really don't know how to fix it? The class for capturing still images is very useful but only works with an imagebox.
(I really tried to understand the code. Especially the function, which copies a still image from 15 fps webcam output to a imagebox (which is used to save image as jpg file). But there are objects like: IntPtr, Hdc (getHdc, releaseHdc) and BitBlt. I really don't know anything about those objects.)
Code of iCam:
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Public Class iCam
#Region "Api/constants"
[CODE]...
I get realtime images with: iCam.initcam(me.picturebox1.handle.int32) and copy with: picturebox2.image= iCam.copyimage(picturebox1,New RectangleF(0, 0, Me.picturebox1.Width, Me.picturebox1.Height))
i just want ask you guys how to capture images from 2 different webcams.is there any dll out there that i can use?
View 14 RepliesWe have a client server application that 650 users are using everyday. Lately they have started complaining about over all slow responses and slowdowns in normal application usage like searching, reporting etc.We are using .NET Framework 3.5 and .NET Remoting is the technology we have used for client connection to the server side. We can't remove that and use something else due to legacy application maintenance. We are using SQL 2008 R2 x64 on a very good server.We have gone though the basic steps of making sure that all the SQL side is ok everything is well tuned but we need to convenience the client that it is not the application but the database that needs to be regularly maintained by a DBA in order for it to run smooth due to the nature of the application making tons of changes and inserts in the database everyday.
Anyways I need to write some sort of module that can plugin into the .NET Remoting calls so it can log the normal usage of different methods on the server like;* How many times a remoting method is called* What params a remoting method is called with* How much time it takes to execute each remoting callIs there anything available in .NET Framework that can help me? I read something about .NET Remoting Sync but not too sure if that is what I need to use? If any can shed any light on the subject or nudge me in a right direction with some sample code, that would be great.

View 6 RepliesI had an idea for an MSN (Windows Live Messenger) "addin" today, which I thought was a great project for me to try.Basically, I want people to be able to type LaTeX code in their MSN conversations, and my application parses the LaTeX code and displays (probably in a separate window, but if possible inside the conversion window) the math formula.
I am probably not going to get it to send the image in the conversion window, but I will be happy if I can get it to display in a separate window.Basically, all I need for this to work is to capture the text that a user receives over MSN. If it contains a certain token (like "$$ ... $$") then I can try to parse the text between the dollar signs, and if it is valid LaTeX I can show an image of the result in a separate window.
So, I probably don't even need an actual MSN plugin / addin, if I can just get the received text by some other means.
1. some basic Windows Live Messenger add-in programming examples / tutorials? I've never done this before, and have no clue how to do it... VB/C# are both fine.
2. how to retrieve the text that you receive using either an addin, or some sort of windows API ?
So I'm looking for either an addin, or, if possible, a completely separate application that basically monitors each and every window and sees if it's from MSN, and then retrieves the received text...

I'm working on a project. I've gotten all the kinks out of my Client/Server tcp chat. But I need to find a way around this problem.
In my chat room, you can have other users view your desktop remotely. But I'm having a problem with this.Does anyone know how I would get a screenshot or possibly video of the desktop and write it to my stream? I can convert it to a string already. and my old method used screenshots written to the disk. I would like to avoid touching the hard drive if possible, so that means extracting the screenshot/video from memory.

I'm trying to save a screen-shot from a FlowLayoutPanel without the desired success. Here's the code I'm using to same the panel as image:

Dim gfxScreenshot As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmpScreenshot)

Problem is, when the panel is full of controls and using scrollbars the hidden controls are not captured, since I'm using the CopyFromScreen().
My application was designed in Visual Basic 08. There is a feature in the application that allows users of the app, to view a "Recording" page from the application, and works with a Soap API. Once the application sends the requested data to the API, the API responds with a custom URL, which must then be opened in a browser.How do I capture the response, or to be more specific, the URL that is being sent back from the API? Below, I have included the full parameters of the api, as well as the code that I have so far. What I really need to do, is figure out how to caputure the URL that is being sent back from the API to a text box. This will allow me to then transfer that text to the browser. But again, I have listed the full specifications, or parameters of the api below, as well as the code that I have so far. In case it helps, the app was designed for Windows Mobile using Visual Basic 08. [code] I am able to send the correct information to the api, but when the api returns the response, with the URL in it, I am unable to obtain that URL, and therefore unable to open that URL in a web browser, which has to be done as you can see from the API specs.
