Detect The Currently Opened Files In For Media Centre
Apr 8, 2009
I am writing a Media Centre Addin in Vb.net and it was all going good until i got to the point where i want to find the "Currently Playing song FilePath or URl"I have spend a number of hours racking my brain to figure out a way of seeing what the "Currently Opened Files" are on a machine at any point of time.
My idea is to get all the currently opened files, and then filter the Extensions from these and find the media item that is currently playing, and get the filepath.Does anyone know how i can do this? and what methods or classes or Librarys i should be looking at or importing In..
I have a tough situation that I don't really know how to code. I have one main list of point that contains all the points on a picture that are black.(1point=1pixel) I need to group all the black pixels that are less than 15(more or less) pixels away from each other into one Separate list. In the end I want about 5 lists.
What I said above is what I think is best to detect the centre of a shooting target. This information is just for those who think they know a better way. Each card has 5 targets on it and I need to detect the centre of each target. Ignore the sticker on the top target, in all cases the top one will look like the rest.
im working on a little app for my self, to make my life a little more convenient. I have some media keys on my laptop, and I would like to use them with itunes while it is minimized. I found a app that did it for me a long time ago, but cant seem to find it now. But I would like to try my hand at my own, and I've managed to do so, but, my app has to be in focus for it to work. is there any way to still detect when these media keys are pressed while my app is out of focus?
I'm trying to detect which contacts are currently opened, the only way I could come up with that was to actually get the items in the windows taskbar then compare the items to the contact list on Msn. This way when Bob@hotmail.com is currently opened my application can show a listbox of all the current opened Msn contacts. Is there an easier way to view the current open contacts with MessengerAPI
i want to detect currently opened swf file name here is my code
Private Const GW_HWNDNEXT = 2 Private Declare Function GetWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wCmd As Long) As Long Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
[Code]....
this code is working fine to detect .doc,.xls files name but not working on *.swf files
I use the media player tool in my program and just found out that some people get a serious exception on the loading of the program if they choose not to enable media player. How can I make it so that if they don't have media player enabled that the program won't crash?
I don't know where the designer puts the info to load certain controls, nor do I know how to make the program skip loading a control if it doesn't work.
I need to detect if a [blank] media (CD/DVD) is inserted into the D: drive for an internal software I'm writing. The drive is static as drive D:. How can I tell if media is inserted, first off, and secondly, is it possible to tell if it's blank?

I developing an application that downloads some reports from a external ASP web app. I use the control webbrowser to navigate through the pages, generates and download the reports. The URL are in an array ArrURL and I have 2 situacions:[code]
I am using the media player control in my VB2010 project and hit a problem. I want to detect when a user has pressed the "next " button on the media player console.I can use the following code to detect the pause, play, fast forward, etc but I do not see anything that will detect when the "next" button is pressed.
I want to get the list of selected files in the currently opened windows explorer, So that when a user opens a windows explorer and selects a specific collection of file from the selected directory in the windows explorer and presses a short key of the feature then the feature itself will copy the list of full path that can be used in other module.
I made a Class Library project that contains the main classes that my Main Project needs because I don't want to main classes when I distribute my project. I've successfully called and used it in my Main Project. But when I started debugging and stepping through my code which involves calling and using the class I wrote in my Class Library, I noticed that the class' file in my Class Library opens up during debug mode.
how can I prevent the Class Library's files from being opened during my Main Project's debug mode?
I have created a small media player calling COM component of Windows media player. Now i want to cut and save the audio files played in media player? is it possible with windows media player or i would have to use some other media player object? I can have the files info which i am using in window media player to play..but cant able to get the details which we can finds with our OS( windows) like compression format, bit-rate etc.
I'm going to build a video player in vb.net, but during the development I've met some complications.
1) The windows media player ocx takes a long time to play the first video, I think for a problem of initialization 2) The window media player ocx doesn't play flv files
The alternative or possible solutions. 1) insert flv codec into the project for window media player ocx, but how? 2) use the flv component, but I don't know with precision what is the right code to use to play video files with the vlc component and sometimes during the dispose of the vlc instance, the system give me a blue screen.....
I know that there are two wrappers for the vlc componet the libvlcnet and the VideoLan DotNet for WinForm and WPF, but i don't find any example on how ti implement and use them in vb.net. Use the ffmpeg video conversion engine for window media player, but how can I implement ffmpeg in vb.net, is there any wrapper or activex for ffmpeg open source?
how can I play a MP3 file without using Windows Media Player or Direct Sound? I cant use DirectX even if I wanted to! Is there any other way? I could not use DirectX because I could not install the DirectX Software Development Kit on a 64 bit system!
I'm creating a kind of 'playlist manager' application where the user can create his own music playlist and then play it from my application. However, I don't want to give my application any playback features itself, as there are already so many media players around. Instead, I just want to open the files in the current playlist in the media player of the user's choice.
I have a list of MP3 files (their filenames), how do I now open these files simultaneously in, for example, Windows Media Player? I can get it to play one song, using this command (and Process.Start)
[Code]...
Surely this must be possible? You can open multiple files in windows itself simply by selecting them and opening them at the same time. I'm pretty sure the filenames of the selected files will then be in the arguments of wmplayer so that it can open them, but I just don't know in what format.
I have spent the best part of a day to try and get metadata out of a jpg.
Function getmetadata(ByVal f As String) As String Dim txt As String Dim fs As New System.IO.FileStream(f, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read)
I am attempting to play a set of audio files continuously using a tree view. I am having troubles looping through an array to play one song after another in the selected parent node. It seems to work if I only use one song in the array but it doesn't want to actually loop through and keep playing; it goes through the loop but once the first song is over it stops. I am unsure if looping through an array in the AfterSelect sub routine is the best way of doing this,
Here is the entire Sub routine for the AfterSelect on the tree view.trvMain is the name of the entire tree view.wmpMain is the Windows Media Player COM.trvJazzHancock is the parent node for the two audio files I'm attempting to loop.
I have a text file, about 30mb's in size which gets modified regularly (lines are appended - logfile), but what I would like to do is only read the contents that have been added since the file was last modified.
I am attempting to consume my Zenfolio RSS feed so that i can display the images in the feed. How can i access the url value of the media:thumbnail and media:content elements in my RSS feed? I have googled high and low and not found an answer regarding how to access the url value. There was a similiar unanswered SO post.
Examples of the elements: <media:thumbnail url="http://riderdesign.net/img/s11/v35/p449020235-2.jpg" width="400"
I have a panel, 80 pixels wide and 720 pixels high. However, this panel will stretch to whatever height the user's display is at as the form border style is none and the form is set to maximise.
Inside the panel I have another panel, 78 pixels wide and 400 pixels high. As the form loads, how do I centre the nested panel?
x = Panel1.Width / 2 - Panel5.Width / 2 y = Panel1.Height / 2 - Panel5.Height / 2 If Panel5.Height < Panel1.Height Then
At the moment when i run my form1.vb program it runs in the top left of my screen, when i save it as an application and then open it from a shortcut will it still do this or will it open in the centre of the screen? In the designer it is in the top left of the screen, is there a way to move it here? as my assumption (which is probably wrong) is that the position it is in the designer is the position it is as an application? Is that right? and if it is how to i change the position in the designer?
Basically I currently have the following code which enables me to print the form perfectly.
CODE:
However, with the coding above on the print preview the form screen shoot/dump isn't centred. So I was wondering what would be the way to go about doing it? This is using the printform in the power packs available btw.
Also I figured it might be using height/width/location/margins etc, but I'm not to sure how one goes about assingning values to them. Like the two above I commented don't work.
I have a single form windows application and here is my question; When I set the property of the form's start position manually to centre parent or centre screen it starts up in the centre of the screen. When I do the same thing in the form load event:
I'm building a Visual Basic program to allow me to change my desktop background through VB. I've made it so the user can select a file and set it as the wallpaper but i'm wondering if there is a way to allow the user to decided on the position eg Stretch, tiled or centre.
