Embed Form In Titlebar Of An Active Window?
Oct 7, 2009
I have created a form containing a text box and a button. i would like to know if it is possible to embed this form in the title bar of the current active window that is opened eg: ie,notepad,word this is so that i can enter a word in the text box and use text to speech to say it or highlight a word in the active window and it will be placed in the text box of my form. i can position the form in the top right location but then the form position is stagnant.

In Access, when you build a new query, you can add tables to the view, which is then represented by individual windows that are somehow embedded/constrained to the upper portion of the query designer. I know then typically, windows are free floating anywhere on the screen, but somehow they manage to keep it confined to a certain container area. It also appears that the windows never get a real "focus" as the title bar is always a faded shade of blue, yet, you can still click on them and move them around.

I was wondering if there's a method to set the form as the active window (not topmost obviously), if it's currently not the active window (meaning another window is currently the active one). By active I mean "selected".

I'm using Visual Basic 2010 Express.I have a form that can be minimized.There's also a tray icon.I've coded it so that if you double-click on the tray icon, the form's FormWindowState becomes set to Normal; this restores the form to where was before it became minimized, but the form does not become the active window on my desktop.
How can I make the form become the active most foreground window? I've tried various functions that I can think of but no luck yet. Tried searching with various queries to try and find the right wording but no luck.I'm new to Visual Basic - only started a couple hours ago.Probably something simple but I can't seem to find the correct function or anything.I have the form/window open, and then I overlap said form with a window of another application. When I double-click my app's tray icon, I want my window to become the active window, bringing it to the front, but can't figure out how

I cannot begin to explain how often I have tried to remove the Maximize button from the top of my form window.. I know that it can be disabled via properties, also that it can be removed if I disable both the maximize and minimize buttons, BUT I need the minimize button, just not the maximize button

The main form in my application is a small form without a titlebar. I accomplished this by setting these properties:
- ControlBox = False
- MinimizeBox = False
- MaximizeBox = False
- Text = "" (empty)
As long as the Text (title text) remains empty, the form has no title bar. Note that it still has a border so it can be resized (FormBorderStyle = Sizable, as usual, not None!)Now, because I have to keep the Text property empty, the taskbar button never shows any text... But I want to show text in the taskbar button!
As far as I know, the only way to set the text on the taskbar button is using the forms Text property, but I cannot set that because the form will have a titlebar if I do...

I need to create a form where AlwaysOnTop = True when the browser is visible. This creates some sort over "overlay". The logic works like this:
The program checks which window is active.If the active windows is a certain process, my form will initialize the TopMost utility, and be the active window itself. When the certain process is not the active window anymore, my form will disappear.
[Code]...
My program checks if a browser is the active window, if so: the form gets topmost and the program stops checking what the active window is. (because my topmost form is the active window now).Now the program needs to check what the window under my form is, the second active window. If it's not the browser anymore, the form needs to hide, and the program will check what the active window is again.
I already completed the function that checks what the first active window is, I'm stuck on getting the function that checks what the second active window is.

I'm making a game that makes use of Control.MouseButtons and GetActiveWindow() like so:
Private Declare Auto Function GetActiveWindow Lib "user32.dll" () As IntPtr
Public Sub GetMouseState(ByRef x As Integer, ByRef y As Integer, ByRef lButton As Boolean)
Dim p As Point = Parent.PointToClient(Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position)
x = p.X
[code]....
Does GetActiveWindow() not return the correct value only when my game is running?

I'm trying to be able to get the caption of the currently active window. I've figured out that I should be using GetForegroundWindow, but when I use it I'm just getting a long string of numbers, which I think is the handle. How do I go from that to the actual caption?

Is there an easy way to find out what the active window is within the .NET framework?
I have seen a few methods via google using API calls, but I thought that was what .NET was supposed to eliminate, by giving the programmer a way to get access to everything within the framework?
