I am trying to implement a blackout window for a application that I am developing. What I want is the run the task when the time is outside the Blackout window.Here is what I have developed so far, but I am not sure if there is a more efficent method of doing this.Blackout window goes from 10pm at night to 7am the next day...everyday.
Dim Time As Date = DateTime.Now
Dim BlackoutStartTime() As String
Dim BlackoutStopTime() As String
For example, a user logs in and sets his status in SQL Server to active. While using the program, it suddenly blacks out. The status in SQL Server remains active. When the user logs in again, he can't access the same account in the program because in SQL Server the status remains active. How can I set the status to inactive during blackouts?

I am in need of a small application, that will allways be topmost and will send keystrokes to the last active application (typically notepad or an explorer window). My problem is retrieving the current active form (or application), when my application is started up. Every search seems to return old and rather complex solutions using Win32 library functions, but I was kinda hoping, that .Net allowed for a neater and more simple solution.I need a code example or link on how to retrieve the currently active application window from another application just starting up.

How can I fix this issue?Also, I have noticed when I resize my application by dragging the bottom right-hand corner the application does not really re-size, it just gets covered. I am attaching 2 skeleton snapshots of my application below....Image before resize (1680 x 1050 pixels) Image after resize (1680 x 1050 pixels)

I'm attempting to make a program that will simply draw a guide (consisting of two perpendicular lines) on another program's window. I tried using a form with a transparency key and TopMost set to true, but then whenever the user inadvertently clicked the guide, it would un-focus the application. The only lead I could find was a suggestion to "Draw directly on the other application's window". I can't find anything that tells me how to do this, or if its even possible...
So I need to know one of three things: 1) Is it possible? 2) How do you do it? or 3) is there some way to make a form completely un-focusable? The effect I'm trying to get is so that it looks like someone physically drew the line on the monitor itself.
