View 1 RepliesI am having a difficulty in this login form that I have made. The same as the premade template login in VB 2008 which I am using right now.Here's what happens when I run the program Log in form open > Log in successful > Main window appears *The login form still does not disappear.
I tried hiding it via me.hide() Log in form open > log in successful > Main window appears > log in form disappear.*Now the problem is that I cant close the whole application because the login form is still there only hidden. Again I tried putting in the "EXIT" button the code me.close() login.close()Log in form open > log in successful > Main window appears > log in form disappears > Exit application *Now everything seems to be ok now and then I found another problem.Instead of clicking the exit button I tried clicking the X button on the main window. There I found out that it only closes the main window. Therefore not closing the whole application because the login form is still hidden.

View 2 RepliesI have a VB.NET application that uses Managed DirectSound to capture audio.Everything works just fine until (a) the application is minimized or (b) the application is completey obstructed (covered) by another window.
The thing is that the CaptureBufferDescription structure does not include a GlobalFocus property so I don't know what to do to let my application continue capturing when the main window is hidden.
Here's the basic initialization code I'm using:

View 2 RepliesI am trying to find the handle of the child window for the Yes button in the User Account Control window so i can click it. This window has a structure with a few child windows with the same name.
Dim hwnd As IntPtr = FindWindow(Nothing, "User Account Control")
Dim hwnd2 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd, 0, "DirectUIHWND", vbNullString)
Dim hwnd3 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd2, 0, "CtrlNotifySink", vbNullString)
Dim hwnd4 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd3, 0, "Button", "&Yes")
There are multiple CtrNotifySink with its own Button child window or other child windows. How do i search thru the different CtrNotifySink window to find the one that contain the Yes button so i can send a click to it? I do need to find it before i can send a click, right? because i try just sending it to the main window with sendmessage and nothing happen.I even try sending it directly to the handle found by spy++ of the yes button with bm click but nothing happen?

We have an existing VB.net application. Upon an event, we need to open a browser window. I'm able to open the browser window like this:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://s3web01/suggestions?item=" + strItem + "&co=" + strOrder)
Upon another event, we need to refresh the browser window with different parameters for strItem and strOrder.
If I call the same code above, it opens a new tab in the browser window. Is there any way to refresh the same browser window that was previously opened?
What I need to do is Set my new form to be the top most form of only my application while still having click access to the main form. Right now I have tried the property Topmost = True but the thing about that I really do not like is it puts the form above every single windows form. I only want the form to be the topmost of my application. The showdialog also will not work because I no longer have access to my main form with click events.

View 1 RepliesAm devloping an application with multiple forms, which reside on top of a main form. i.e the main application window. The 'child' forms do not need to be linked in any way as they do not pass information to the parent form, as all the parent form does is act as main window.Now I would like to know what is the correct way for the 'main window' form acting as a container for the other forms? So that all the smaller secondary forms stay focused on top of the main application form, that when the main window is minimized, so these forms should do also etc..
I have read other posts and they mention, leaving all the forms standard i.e. IsMdiContainer = False and then using form.showDialog() to call the secondary forms. This did not work for me as what happens is that as soon as I give focus to the main app form, the secondary form disappears underneath.I tired making the main app form IsMdiContainer = True and when it loads calling:
frmMemberForm.MdiParent = Me
Now this works, because I can click off the form and minimize the app etc and the frmMemberForm doesn't disappear. However if i close the MemberForm and reopen it, it looses this property and once again when it looses focus, it will disappear.
i am doing windows application in vb.net , i want to know how to create a child window in single form.
View 3 RepliesAs Autodesk is going to discontinue VBA for their Inventor product in the near future I have been looking at other ways to run VB.NET in Inventor. To date it doesn't look like VSTA will be the replacement. Automation from an External VB.NET app is certainly possible, but leaves something to be desired for speed and integration. Compiled Add Ins are the Cadillac of choice but can be a royal pain to debug and develop. Autodesk now provides a lightweight VB.NET script interface called iLogic. It's main purpose is to allow extreme customization of Solid Modeling parts. The code actually resides inside the Part Model file.

I have a 3rd party program that puts up a pop up box and asks the user for input. In Spy++ the original program (I'll refer to this as Window A from now on) is a top level window, and the popup (Window B) is also a parent window. However, when I use FindWindow(Nothing, "Captcha Challenge") it returns 0. I've also used a code snippet from the forums
