I am Visual Basic 6 Programmer. I want to write a code in VB6 which will get Text from any position of a Window Form of another active Application and place that text in other text box (cursor will be in that text box) of the same application.
View 3 RepliesFor those who have programs such as Skype, you may already be familiar with this action. Basically Skype and some other programs have a feature where when you move the form near the screen boundaries it jumps and "locks" into position into the corner of
the screen. To my understanding, Windows 7 seems to have this feature, but it is not as jumpy as Skype is. It seems you have to be within 20 pixels or so for it to work with Windows whereas Skype seems to work if you are near the corner.How would I go about moving the form near the corner and automatically relocating the form to that corner? For example, if I placed my program near the top left corner, how would I relocate the form to (0, 0)?
I have a picturebox (pbRows) that I want to always be aligned with the right side of the screen. The form may be wider than this (I have a horizontal scrollbar), but the picturebox always needs to be along the right edge of the screen. Currently I have this code snippet in the form_load subroutine:
Dim rowsX As New Integer rowsX = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width - pbRows.Width pbRows.Location = New Point(rowsX, 25) However, the picturebox is aligned with the right edge of the form (initially hidden off the screen). Am I missing something obvious?
how can I printscreen a specific location or area in my screen that can be save in gif or jpeg files
View 8 RepliesI have several DataGridView's that are located in several different containers. I want to display a small form in a precise location relative to the RowHeader when the user's mouse moves over the row header of the datagridview. How can I get the screen coordinates of the RowHeader? The code below does not display the form in the proper location. I want the top-left corner of the form to be displayed 15 points to the right of the Right property and 15 points below the Bottom property of the RowHeader.

I'm working on a vb 2010 project where I am playing mpeg movies using the Media Player control.The computer has dual heads (extending windows desktop to other display).

BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?
View 11 Repliesi am using an unbound datagridview so i can dynamiclly add rows. all that is working fine. but the grid is not is the location i have coded.. i am using the defualt form as a base then coding the unbound stuff in.. should i just create a blank class file and do everything? the only problem i am having is the grid must bees in the correct location according to the pixel point that i have given it.

I have 2 group box components and both are same size,font,location and visible is false. When i click button2, the groupbox1 won't appear(the group box2 is on bottom n group box1 is on top).
Example:
button1
groupbox1.visible=false
groupbox2.visible=true
button2
groupbox1.visible=true
groupbox2.visible=false
Because i want to show the different,so the location have a little different(actually both are same location). I think my code is no problem. The problem i guess is both component cannot locate at same location?

I was using this old method of creating a bunch of rectangles when I need to get the location of a certain point within a grid so I could draw images on the grid. The thing is, I don't want to use rectangles, I want to be able to just round the location as if I were using rectangles. I need it to be able to round the point (66,70) to (50,50) so if you can imagine a grid and the mouse position being within that square in the grid, I need to get the location of the upper left corner of that square.

But how can i fetch data when the grid view is not in editing mode that is in ItemTemplate. I have tried the following-

But its getting the exception object reference is not set to an instance of object. This is probably happening because the above code should be used in a method like RowDataBound when a row is instantiated. But I have to fetch data from some other method.Again for clarification I want to fetch data when the gridview columns are in ItemTemplate Mode.

I have a function in my WinForms app that needs to retrieve the user's default user agent. To do this, I've created a web page (ASP.NET) that displays the user agent in a Label in the Page_Load.

However, when viewing the page's source in a browser, it contains the following .Your user agent is: <span id="Label1">(user agent string here)</span></p>.why GetString is not picking up the Label contents?
Note: For reasons beyond my control, this app is coded using .NET 1.1. Otherwise, I'd be doing things a bit differently.
