Window Focus - Right Click On The NotifyIcon, Excel Gains Focus?

Mar 10, 2009

Here is what I've done:1) Created an Excel COM add-in for Excel 20032) Added a NotifyIcon to the Windows taskbar notification area (aka system tray) during ThisAddIn_Startup3) Added a ContextMenuStrip with a ToolStripButton to the NotifyIconWhy is it when I right click on the NotifyIcon, Excel gains focus? If after clicking on the NotifyIcon to display the ContextMenuStrip I choose not select an option on the ContextMenuStrip and instead click back on the Excel window, I get a weird flashing cell in Excel.I've created a video of the problem to help you see what I [url] anyone know how to prevent this? Ideally, I'd like to be able to click back on Excel and only have the ContextMenuStrip close and Excel regain focus.

Excel VBA Code Waits Indefinitely When Excel Window Is Not Active

Sep 7, 2010

I have one excel sheet which has ontime event of 5 mins to run some code.This code works fine when in debugging mode. But if I lock my PC or minimize excel windows and start working something else, this code just pauses at beginning and as soon as I activate excel window, this code runs.this code involves opening and closing of one userform and i think userform is culprit.

Saving Non-VSTO Copy Of VSTO Workbook

Sep 1, 2009

I am trying to save a ListObject from a .NET 3.5 Excel 2007 VSTO Workbook to a new sheet (done) and save that new sheet to a new workbook (done) without that workbook requiring the VSTO customization file (!!!!!).

Has anyone had any luck with this? The only way I've had any success is just saving as a CSV file but that's not exactly acceptable in this case. I'd rather not save to a CSV just to copy back to a XLS file.

worksheet.SaveAs(saveDialog.FileName, Excel.XlFileFormat.xlOpenXMLWorkbook)

Background Worker In Excel VSTO Application, Modal Dialog Makes BGW Cancellation Slow

Nov 25, 2011

I'm using a background worker to in an Excel VSTO application to throw up a progress dialog box with a status bar and a cancel button to escape from long running calculations. It's working really well, except for one issue. I'd like to use a Modal Dialog, so that the UI behind the dialog gets locked up, instead of a Modeless Dialog. If I use .ShowDialog() instead of .Show(), everything is great until you hit the Cancel button on the form. Following things in the debugger, the cancellation happens, it just takes somewhere in range of 30 seconds. If I use .Show() on my form, then the cancellation occurs immediately as it should.

Winforms - Get Second Active Window?

Dec 17, 2011

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.

Set Focus On Another Window?

Aug 19, 2011

I am basically trying to list all visible (in taskbar) in a listbox and then, after clicking a button the selected process will catch focus (if it's not minimized). However, I have been using this code, and only seems to work on Notepad, on NOTHING else.

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class Form1
' This is 2 functions from user32.dll (1 for finding the application and 1 to set it to foreground with focus)

[Code]....

I have also used MANY alternative API's to test it on, it seems that after the line "ParenthWnd = ...." only the notepad window can be found using findwindow.

VSTO - Excel Chart, Subtitle For Chart - Access Chart Text Box From Code?

Oct 14, 2011

I have a chart in Excel that I'd like to use a subtitle on. There is no SubTitle Property on the chart object, so I looked in the Excel User interface and found that you can only create a sub-title by using a text box. The text box looks like its associated with the chart, not the worksheet, so how would I access that text box from code?
