Capturing (and Canceling) A Minimize Event In .NET?
Nov 21, 2010
I'd like to start by saying that simply though searching, DreamInCode has taught me alot about VB.NET. In fact, I would imagine without DIC as a resource, I probably wouldn't have been able to move forward and learn most of what I know now, just because I got stuck on some things here and there.Anyway, I searched around for information regarding how to "capture" a minimize event in VB.NET. I am working on the GUI for an application that I would like to have minimize to the system tray. Currently, instead of accomplishing this with the minimize function, I do it on the FormClosing event like this:
Private Sub MainFrm_FormClosing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing
'Cancel the attempt.
[code]....
That code works, and upon making the form visible again with Me.Visible = True the form is restored to its original position. However, prior to the form being hidden, the window manager draws a minimize and restore effect before eventually hiding it. Any change to the WindowState _after_ hiding the form does not appear to have any effect, so when the form is unhidden it is still minimized.is there a way to capture Minimize events, and when captured, is it possible to cancel them in a manner similar to what I did with the FormClosing event?

how I can detect the mousedown,mouseup etc even outside my application using vb.net? I have an API here,but,doesnt seem to work the way I expect it to..
VB
Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vKey As Long) As Integer
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
[Code]....
Should that API be modified to be used or something?? or what should I do to capture the mouse click events..both left and right buttons...

I'm working a program where I need to capture the mouse down even at the form level. I need this to happen regardless of where the mouse is clicked. The standard mouse event (see below) works fine if the mouse isn't over a control. However, when the mouse is over a control, the control gets the event before the form. I can generate an event to capture the mouse event for every control and the pass the event on, but that is ugly and requires way to much maintenance. Isn't there a way to tell vb that all mouse events go to the form?

Form1_MouseDown(ByVal

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.
Private Sub xmlTest_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
e.Cancel = True '--- will not close form

I'm using a While loop that loops a certain number of cycles (1-576) based on a value entered by a user. It's activated by the user clicking a "Start" button, But I would like it to be able to be canceled using, preferably, the "Escape" key. However, when the loop is going I can't get the program to recognize any keypresses.

I have a program in VB2008 and I need to execute a thread from differents Subs.Each time I start the thread I want to cancel the previous.Here an example:
Private Sub TextBox_Changed(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim ThreadResults As New Thread(AddressOf ShowResults) ThreadResults.Start() End Sub Private Sub ckBoxAllRecords_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim ThreadResults As New Thread(AddressOf ShowResults) ThreadResults.Start() End Sub
I write in a textbox, TextBox_Changed fires, thread spend 4 minutes filling a dataset I check a checkbox, ckBoxAllRecords_CheckedChanged fires, thread spend 10 seconds filling a dataset.I dont want anymore the dataset of TextBox_Changed so I want to cancel its filling.

I've set up a background worker to search a directory for emails and if my specifi criteria (i.e. date ranges, contains a word) are fulfilled, then a list view is populated.I have this working absolutely fine - when I click search, the list view is populated as I watch - but when I press my 'Stop' button, which runs bg.CancelASync() it does not stop the process at all - results still populate in the list view as it was before.

The DGV has a column "PRICE", Price must be > than 100, and I control that in this way:
Private Sub DataGridView1_CellValidating(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellValidatingEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellValidating

Really wracking my brain here and I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing. Basically I have a form with two tabs. I'm checking the controls on each tab to see if they're dirty and want to prevent a user from clicking a tab if there are changes on the current tab.
I had thought if I check the dirty variable and just set the tab index to the one that hasn't been selected I'd be fine but every time I programatically set a tab's property, it fires off a bunch of the tab's events that just produce an undesireable result such as the right control set is showing but the wrong tab is selected. Here is the code for as close as I've gotten to getting it to work.

I have a task that needs to be executed many times in a thread, so as to keep my GUI responsive. Right now I'm using the ThreadPool to accomplish the tasks, and it works perfectly. I get all the data I expect back from the threads, life's good. When those tasks are finished, I then fire off another set of threads to accomplish another set of tasks, in the same fashion. The work method of these threads uses a call to RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey, which does exactly that, opens a remote registry key. The problem is: if the user running the application does not have permission to open the remote registry the call will throw an IOException, but I expect this behaviour because the user does not have permission to do it. However, the call itself can take FOREVER.
I wrote the application initially to use delegate methods and used the WaitHandle.WaitOne() method on AutoResetEvents in a state object I passed to each delegate. I tried the WaitOne method using a timeout, which worked fine until I realized that even though the WaitOne timed out, the thread was still running. This is a problem because (from what I understand) processes are only given a certain number of ThreadPool threads and, once used, they must be finished in order to be released back to the threadpool. In my work method, I also have a variable that can be signalled when the thread should be stopped, but that (obviously) only works on code that I've written.how can I cancel a thread that's stuck on a .NET method? Is there some sort of garbage collection method I can call if I give it a handle?

I'm trying to create an app with a backgroundworker to enable canceling a loop, but it won't work as I hoped it would.When I debug right after the line ThreadWorker.RunWorkerAsync() the programm goes directly to Private Sub ThreadWorker_RunWorkerCompleted and skips the Private Sub ThreadWorker_DoWork part, where of course the actual code is in (I've left that code out, it's about a 100 lines and without BGW it works).Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong with it?

I am using a DataGridView, which is bound to a dataset. There is a bindingNavigator as well.
when a user deletes a row by clicking "bindingNavigatorDeleteItem" button, I am trying to get the row being deleted.
private void bindingNavigatorDeleteItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int crow = gridEventType.CurrentCell.RowIndex;
but it returns the newly selected row AFTER deletion of a selected row.
so, If I have two rows
0
1
2
and I delete 2
crow is 1, not 2.
Am I missing something here?
2. How do I know whether certain rows are modified in datagridview?

I was creating some complex applications in Visual Basic .NET 2008 and since they are in the testing phase right now, people manage to find an error or two every so often that causes the program to crash. The problem is that there is a tracking piece to it that logs who is currently using the programs. When a user logs in, it logs that they are currently logged in, and if the form close event is fired, the log is deleted to show that they have closed it.
Now my problem comes whenever the form crashes from an error since it won't trigger the close event and therefore makes the log become inaccurate. My question is if it is possible to capture any error that the form would have in the form of an event?

I am trying to modifying the "Math Quiz" tutorial to be more user friendly.
The initial tutorial does not consider the users efforts to answer the math problems as quickly as possible.
The problem is that you must use the mouse or tab key rather than the "enter" key to move to the next control after answering. I believe using the "Enter key to be much more intuitive.
Therefore, I wish to modify the program to either:
1. Check the KeyPress event of the NumberUpDown controls to watch for the "Enter" key to be pressed, and if it is, check to ensure that the current NumberUpDown control is not empty (= Nothing) and if both are True, to then TAB to the next control in the TAB order; OR
2. Uses the PreviewKeyDown event to transpose the "Enter" into a "Tab" automatically so the application will then TAB to the next control in the TAB order.
With all of the new changes to VB 2010 from the last version I actually used professionally (VB6), things are REALLY different, so I no longer know how to accomplish this same task in the new manner. especially if it contains working CODE, because I have always learned better the first time from an example. here is my version of the tutorial Code:
'--- Create a Random object to generate random numbers.
Private objRandomValue As New Random
'--- The Integers will store the numbers for the
' addition problem.

I have a datagridview (unbound). Fields are Name, Family Name and Phone No and a checkbox colum.
There are ten rows in that DataGridView.
There is an OK button
I need to get message of showing which rows user has checked. The message should appear when user clicks OK button. There could be several message, checking each row one by one, in a loop.
I am not able to get this message. I tried following code in OK button
Dim strCB As String = dgvChooseQs.Rows(0).Cells(3).Value.ToString
Cell(3) is my checkbox. Donot consider Rows(0), at the moment I am just checking value at row 0

I have read and tried a dozen or more examples of trying to capture the Enter key in a datagrid, but I have yet to find something that works. My scenario is :
ds.Tables.Add(dt)
dt.Columns.Add("Inventory Nr", GetType(System.String))
dt.Columns.Add("Cases", GetType(System.Int32)) Inventory Nr in the next row.

I would really like to get some VB.net program code for still image capturing using a Webcam.I've searched the web for quite a while now but did not get any codes. Currently i have a code for capturing video. In that code an image can be captured, but only with 640 X 480 resolution (Maximum Video resolution for my web camera). The WM_CAP_DLG_VIDEOFORMAT dialog box only allows the resolution to be set up to 640 X 480.

I'm just wondering if it's possible to add the mouse when capturing the screen or monitor in vb.net?
because I'm doing a project that would record the screen and I'm actually successfull doing that by capturing the screen and include it in a timer, but my only problem is the mouse or the cursor isn't showing.
below is my sample code.
Dim ScreenSize As Size = New Size(TotalScreenWitdh, MonitorHeightArray(0))
Dim BMP As New Bitmap(TotalScreenWitdh, MonitorHeightArray(0))
