VS 2008 Aero In Windows Vista?

Jul 20, 2011

how to get working aero in Visual Basic 2008.I am making this media player and got everything I need for that. But what I really wanted is aero since Windows Vista got a nice interface and a few lucky people got it.But the tutorials I got worked great on Windows 7! However, I couldn't get aero because of a transparency key. (I swear I use a color picker to see if background color and transparency key are the same color.)I can't get it to work any piece of code I give.But the good part is that aero WILL work on any 7 or Vista without any form change, but the text is white with blue specks and that is not what I want.

EDIT:i found how to do it now! you need to use the property UseCompatibleTextRendring and put it to True. Now the problem is how do i do the same for the rest? (microsoft was to lazy to edit the controls)

Draw Custom Buttons On Windows Vista / 7 Aero Titlebar

Nov 7, 2010

I found this question on StackOverflow. Basically, the user wanted to draw custom buttons on the titlebar. I tried the code and realised it works in vista/7 only when Aero is disabled. My question is, is there any way to draw custom buttons on the titlebar while aero is enabled? Any way of reading information from the current theme so I can style my buttons to match the already existing ones.

Here is a screenshot from my computer demonstrating the above concept. I got the additional titlebar buttons after installing DisplayFusion. And I know DisplayFusion is a .NET program because it opens in .NET Reflector. The down side is that the program is obfuscated. Not like I wanted to decompile the program or anything; I just want to add a button to my titlebar to do something else (like minimise to the system tray for instance).
Below is the screenshot, proving the program is a .NET app.

Createwindowex To Create A Button On An External Window

May 3, 2009

I'm using createwindowex to create a button on an external window. I can use Spy++ to see all of the messages the button is sending to the parent window. The problem I'm having is catching these messages from the parent window.I've been trying a lot of different methods, and just when I think one is working, something still isn't quite right. Right now, I am using a hook dll made with c#, and it seems to be working somewhat. It seems like it is a lot more than should be needed for what I'm doing.I originally thought I could just use wndproc to catch all of the messages, but I found that it doesn't catch external windows messages(unless i'm doing something wrong).Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction to create a button on an external window, then catch the messages when it is clicked.

Modify Aero Glass Color?

Jan 12, 2009

I can't figure out how it is possible to change the color for aero glass (which is blue by default).I want to change it to yellow (or brown) if the battery level (only for laptops of course) is low, to red when its critical. I have read a lot and was able to read the color (registry and api) and I was able to get notified when the color changes (wndproc) but there is no api call to set the color. I am able to set the registry key. That works, but requires a reboot, which is (in my case) not a solution. I have tried to simulate the wndproc message as broadcast, no result...What does the control panel applet do? If I change the color there it will be instantly applied, even the setting is not saved to the registry (which will be the best solution for my case). Programming language is vb9, vista is required by the application itself, so no other checks are required.
