How can I detect the External IP Address of machine which is running my Application. By External IP address means that IP Address through which PC running my Application is accessible through Internet. and not the local IP Address .
View 4 RepliesI am writing a usability testing application, it starts the screen recording, gives the user tasks, and then when finished brings up a survey and stops the screen recording. My problem lies in the last part of this process, because the screen recording app brings up a msgbox when recording is over saying where the file is put and then when that is closed it brings up the screen recording application. I am trying to block the user from seeing this so am currently using the following method.
Private Sub WatcherHandler(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatcher1.Created
Dim Camtasia As Integer
[code].....
Basically when the msgbox from the screen recorder comes up it means a file has been created...so the folder is watched and when the file is created the msgbox is checked for, when it exists a short timer is enabled and then knowing the window exists it is hidden using showwindow findwindow approach. Although this approach does work, Camtasia needs to be closed and re-opened after in order to record again and for some reason it does not always work.
I need to be able to detect when an external program closes so that I can start another event within VB 2005. I have tried to do this by monitoring the processes on my computer. The problem is that this programs comes up as some weird sub-process. It has an Image Name, which is indented from the other Image Names, and it shows that the User Name is the Administrator. This is the only information you can get from the Processes tab. There is a Task Name under the Applications tab, however. I was wondering if there was some code to monitor the Applications tab instead of the Processes or if there is yet another way to do this.

How can i use the address bar to send commands to a external application?
Example:
AOL Instant Messenger -
I havent used this application in a long time. But i remembered if you wanted to add a friend to AIM from their online profile it directed them to a link such as:
aim:addfriend=contactID
and AIM would pick this up and add it the contactID to the application. The link i posted is more than likely not the correct link they use but it shows what im trying to accomplish.
Im looking to achieve something along the lines of:
myApplication:command=commandValue

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use the DHCP API (using the references on pinvoke.net) to retrieve a computer's MAC address when given the IP address but I can't get the code to work. I've run all the C# code on pinvoke.net through the C#-to-VB converter but I'm stuck now.
Here's what I have so far. The value of res is always 5 (should be 0). Thing is, I can't find any documentation on what the return codes mean
vb

I have a camera with a LiveView function (images aren�t snapped, but they are directly sent to my computer), which I managed to connect with VB.net, so I have got the image in a picture box on my form.The next thing I want to do, is to gather 3 spots from the image... The spots are all red, something very similar to #FF0000 (it is a camera + lights, etc... some tolerance needed). So, can anyone help me here?
I think the working "check list" could be something like this:
- Get red, green and blue channels separated
- Change green and blue into gray scale (100% blue / green = black, 0% b / g = transparent)
- Put these b / g both into 50% alpha and put them over the red (which means where is both green and blue = black, only one of them = 50% alpha black, none = transparent)
- Somehow select the areas with most red
- Get center of these areas - my points
