FlashWindowEx Doesn't Work While The Application Is Active But Does When Another Application Is Active
Apr 2, 2010
I have a standard Visual Studio 2008 VB.Net WinForm application, running on Vista Business. One of the forms has a timer that passes Me.Handle to FlashWindowEx. This works as intended as long as none of the windows that belong to this application are the Foreground window. If this program is running and another application's window is the Foreground window, then it flashes as intended. If, however, any of this application's windows are the Foreground window, then it doesn't flash.

I have some code which queries the AD for a users information. On Windows 7 this works as expected but on XP it returns the error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password
This seems to be across the board on XP machines, except the development was done on XP and tested on a different XP machine and they were fine. I don't have access to these 2 machines anymore so I can't test to see if it still works on them. don't know if it is a problem because of XP or a different reason but all I know is it doesn't work and XP seems to be the common denominator.
The error is thrown at this line:
Dim entry As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://ldapString", "username", "password")
As I say, this works on 7 but not on XP, it also works when logging in through ADExplorer. What could possibly be the problem?

I am in need of a small application, that will allways be topmost and will send keystrokes to the last active application (typically notepad or an explorer window). My problem is retrieving the current active form (or application), when my application is started up. Every search seems to return old and rather complex solutions using Win32 library functions, but I was kinda hoping, that .Net allowed for a neater and more simple solution.I need a code example or link on how to retrieve the currently active application window from another application just starting up.

I have a mdi application. When some childforms are open (but only one is active) and the user press a button, I want to know, what form is open, because depending on this, an event will fire up. I imagine this so: at first I determine the active form with a separate function. And then with a select case statement the event will be fired up. How can I make this?

I am developing a Windows Forms application. I have four forms which is inherited from Baseform in another project. In all four forms I am using a label to show some transaction count based on network status. I have implemented a thread which gets the active form of application and setting up the text. The code works fine if application screen is active. If I minimize and open any other application, I am getting an null error exception.
How do I get the active form of an application?
Private Sub StartThread()
pollThread =New Thread(AddressOf PollfileStatus)
pollThread.IsBackground =True
running =True
pollThread.Start()

I have created a program which should perform a certain action whenever a certain group of keys is pressed at the same time. The program must be able to run in the background, or in the system tray or something. Essentially, this should work like the KeyDown event on a form, except the form in this case is everything.
I'm not certain if there is a way to do this directly from within the .net API, but if there is I certainly have not found it.

I've tried everything to set my window as active after I've been working on another external App... I have my system on auto and need to send some keystrokes to the program using sendkeys, so I need that app active. I've tried almost everything I can think of, bringtofront, setfocus, windowstate, setactivewindow, setforegroundwindow (For the last 2, hwnd doesnt work - I'm using VB 2008 Express) but none of them seem to be working.

I'm having troubles with terminating an application. When I close the main form everything disappears but the process remains active. I think I know the cause, a certain activeX component will not release properly. As soon as I create one, I can't close normally...
dim someActiveXcomponent = new X()
...
<formClosing>
someActiveXcomponent = nothing
GC.Collect()
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers ' here it hangs
Probably a bug in that component, but the problem is that I don't have much of a choice, I'll have to use that component for now.
Calling
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComO bject( myObject )
will kill the reference and now the application closes properly.

I want to make an application that allows the manager of the company whether the employees are truly active: screenshot and a "timer" to measure the time of the activity of the employee Can be controlled using the mouse or keyboard while the application is not active, but in execution.Is it possible in vb.net to know if the user of the machine is using the mouse or keyboard? My idea is to set a "Timer" which triggers automatically after the connection of the employee and every 10 seconds the application checks whether the mouse position has changed or a letter is entered on the keyboard except the"Timer" Will Be stopped until have a new mouse position or activity on the keyboard. But the problem is: is the application able to know the position of the mouse or to capture all keyboard input even if the application n 'is not active(not in the foreground)?

I am new to VB; am developing my first VB program; and require some help in getting started. I wish to query information from an Active Directory server using a Visual Basic 2008 console application. I have .NET Framwork 3.5 installed and VB 2008 Express installed. Do I need to install anything else (any additional libraries or components)? Is VB 2008 Express capable of accessing information from Active Directory? Where can I find information about the classes and methods I should use query information from Active Directory?

I've a vb.net (VS2005) destop application, which uses faxcomlib to send fax. Fax server is a windows 2003 server. when i run the vb.net application on the server, it uses the local fax service and it works fine. however, when i run the appllcation from a windows XP client, the fax dosen't work. it is not able to connect to the network fax. i've also read somewhere that faxcomlib only works with windows 2003 or SBS server. if yes, then the best way to send fax in such an environment where fax is installed on a Windows 2003 server and the client machinces are windows XP or Windows Vista.
