Building An Application Which Uses Multiple Screens?
Jan 12, 2012In the very near future I'll have to develop an application that uses multiple screens.
So I'll give you a practical example:
I have 4 screens where different pricing infomation is being displayed. At any given time, I have to show a Promotion which is a single image that needs to be displayed across all of the screens with text scrolling across the screens.
Now I'm wondering what the best way would be to achieve this.
At first I was thinking of using one form and to stretch it across 4 screens, while I create 4 'areas' on the form that represent a screen. However when you extend a form this big I'm afraid the text is going to look horrible.
Then I was thinking of using 4 forms and split up the image into 4 different images which are displayed on the different screens. However to get a scrolling text right on 4 different forms, that's going to take some trial and error.
how I can achieve this form of digital signage?
I want to use VB.Net unless this would seem impossible and I have to use other software?

C# - Arranging Many Windows Forms On Screens
Jan 14, 2011Issue : Is there any efficient way to arrange many independent Windows Forms in .Net? I have to display many forms at the same time in my application. It is a graphic charting application, and the number of forms depends of what the user wants, so it has to be dynamic. Is it possible to arrange it like with MDI Layout ?
Example: For example, if user chooses 12 output chart forms, I would like to have them auto-arranged 4x3 on the default screen. Ideally, User could even choose many target screens among the monitors he has.
Why not use MDI: I do NOT want MDI, since my application is multi-screen and I want to leave the opportunity to the user to put his external output chart windows scattered over different screens wherever he wants. But I would though like to have a default arrangement of output windows, without calculating manually screen and forms width/heights by dividing and stuff (Already doing this, it's a real pain). I would like to spare myself this ant-work and focus on business logic.
What I am looking for: If somebody knows an open source library or tool or cool method that could be great. By the way, I found a very useful and handy tool that could help people having the same needs I am formulating here: It is named AquaSnap, but unfortunately code is not Open Source. PS: Again, I Know how to do it "by hand" and assign monitors to forms. It is not the kind of answers I am looking for.

View 1 RepliesSockets - Check That If Another Computer In The Network Send Some String Data To The Listener Computer?
Mar 19, 2012i have a task to create a TCP Server (a program that is listening on its network card interfaces for incoming data stream).I have search on the internet and i found that i can use two methods : Socket or TCPListener class.I have created an example for Socket class, but i wondering how could i test it? I need to check that if another computer in the network send some string data to the listener computer , then this message should be displayed.Here is the example from microsoft that i am using for TCP Server using Socket:
Public Shared Sub Main()
' Data buffer for incoming data.
Dim data = nothingc[code]....
But it does not work because of the PORT setting.If in the TCP Server i have "Dim localEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 0)" the client crashes, but if i change the port from any (0) to 11000 for example,the client works fine.Do you know why?
Later edit2:Maybe i should have started with this question:Which method is recommended for my scope?asynchronous or synchronous method ?

Check When Process Is Running On A Remote Computer?
Dec 4, 2009I need to check if the explorer.exe process is running on a remote computer to verify that there is a user logged on the computer. I Also want to get the Process Owner of the explorer.exe process to check which user is logged on. I have found some VBscript examples online, but i can't seem to get them to work. If anyone knows of a better way of checking if and what user is logged on to a computer, please give me a reply also. I have tried System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses, but i can't seem to get the owner of the process, maybe WMI will do the trick ?

View 4 RepliesMake A .net Program Which Will Perform WMI Queries To Check For Remote Computer's Name And OS?
Jan 18, 2012I am trying to make a vb.net program which will perform WMI queries to check for remote computer's name and OS. I manage to do the first query of name using the code below..
[Code]...
I am getting error "Local variable 'query' is already declared in the current block. (BC30288)".I understand that I am using same name for the object variable for performing subsequent query. Is there a way in which I can dispose the variable completely and reuse it again for querying the new required WMI detail? My search in the net couldn't give me any clue as of how to clear the variable and use it again. The issue is with two variables "query" and "searcher". Is it only possible that I should give unique names to each query object variable as I might add more queries later on?
Application That Has Multiple Front Ends Developed Using Windows Forms / WPF / ASP / Compact Framework Mobile Forms
Apr 9, 2010I have the requirement to create an application that has multiple front ends developed using Windows Forms, WPF, ASP and Compact Framework Mobile Forms.I would like to be able to create a series of obejct representing the business logic and have this logic accessible from the various front ends available. My first thought was to use remoting as I'd like to be able to pass the business objects back and forth between client and server but the compact framework doesn't support remoting and also transferring a full framework business object to a compact framework business object doesn't seem possible.My next thought was to use web services but again the passing of business objects seems to be very hard to accomplish. Without doing this I would have to create individual web methods for each business operation.
Finally my next option is to use sockets and write the whole client/server logic within some classes and expose them to the UI/Business layer. My only problem with this is it is not scaleable should the number of clients increase dramatically whereas using remoting or web services I can host the solution via ASP.Net.Does anybody have an ideas on the best way forward for this or even have any input on how they would write an application that required a windows form, wpf, asp website and mobile device GUI all of which want to use the same business logic?
Forms :: Multiple Forms, Closing Events And Sub Routines?
May 25, 2010I have googled high and low to find an answer to this but I must be searching wrong.I have an application which has a listview displaying some items that are stored in a SQL Compact database.

How can I get it to fire the form1 sub routine on the close event of form2
Multiple Forms Program Needs To Open Successive Forms Somehow?
Nov 3, 2009i was doing a fair amount of programming many years ago, like 10 it feels like, so I'm sorely not up to date on how my newly downloaded Visual Basic Express expects me to communicate with it.I am writing a program that pulls a cell from a database after the user has gone through several forms to determine which cells they want. When I write it like that, it doesn't sound very efficient, but I've designed it this way for usability.Here's where I have a problem: Should I store the path the user takes in a string, an array, what?
Here's an example:Someone wants baseball stats and trivia. They run my program, main form pops up, they select National League button, the NL Form pops up. Now the way my program is set up right now, is there are two ListBoxes on the form, one is populated, and as the user selects a Team from ListBox1, it jumps to ListBox2. Once they've selected all the teams they want info for, they click a button Next.
What I now need the program to do is show the next form "Team: name" once for each team, and insert the name of the team on the form in the appropriate label which I'll have blank. This form will also do the Listbox thing except the first listbox will populated with Topics like HR Stats, Pitching Stats, Coach History, etc.
Switching Between Forms Lags Computer?
May 10, 2010So the program I have is an overlay for a bit of software that has a main Video out. Whenever I go between forms the video freezes for a tiny bit but is noticeable. I am using the following to go between forms,
vb
Form6.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
Form6.Show()
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
Me.Hide()
Is there a better way to cause less work for the form, making there be no lag at all?

VS 2008 Changing Computer Monitor Size Of Multiple Monitors?
Jun 28, 2010Now this program will only be used on systems that I produce, and send out. I need to make sure that for any monitor that these people use it will always be at the standard resolution of 1440 x 900..
I have tried setting up profiles with catalyst control panel, but if you plug in a different monitor to the one that was plugged in when you made the profile it wont recognise the screen and the system wont run properly.
So I wanna see if I can change the resolutions of the screen that will be plugged in the monitor slot and also if possible make sure the other extended screen should there resolution of 1024 x 768..how much control can you get over the monitors that are plugged in?
Thread.Sleep Unresponsive - Allow People To Have Multiple ITunes Libraries On One Computer
Jul 20, 2010The coding that I have a problem with might make people think that I am creating some malware or something stupid. So the project I am doing is associated with iTunes. iTunes allows people to have one library. There is another way, but it is very confusing to some people, and very unreliable. So my project is that I will allow people to have multiple iTunes libraries on one computer. So the problem is this. In order to have an option to choose your library, I gotta make sure that iTunes is not running. So this is the script:
Code:
Private Sub CheckAndCloseiTunes()
retry:
'Custom class that includes the function to safely close iTunes
[CODE]...
So when I use the Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000) code, the form becomes unresponsive.
Forms :: Maintaining Multiple Forms Positioning?
Jul 26, 2010Launch a dialogue window from the main form, and then another dialogue window from that dialogue window. If you close the second dialogue window and call dispose the main form vanishes under any other open windows. This doesn't happen by closing a dialogue window normally, but I am attempting (rightly or wrongly) to stop memory useage creeping up by disposing of it.
So, the question is - what method can be employed to maintain the position of the windows?
Forms :: Multiple Forms Open And Close
Apr 16, 2009I have two forms frmMain and frmNew, and one module modMain. In modMain I hold public variables which are needed for application. My question is how to open and close those two forms when needed? I ask this because if i set frmMain as startup form, then when closed, application will end, and one of those two forms will always be displayed. Also if I set frmNew as startup form, then when I close this form, application will also end. Is there a way to do this from module or something so my application won't end after closing and opening any of those two forms?
View 2 RepliesForms :: Retaining Data Across Multiple Forms
Sep 8, 2010VB.NET newbie here... I have an vb.net windows application set up. It has multiple forms, about 6 in all. There's a main menu form, and then 5 other forms to collect data. The user will collect data on each form and bounce back and forth between forms. How do I get the forms to retain the data that has been entered into the text boxes and/or other controls on the forms? For example, they might fill out a few textboxes on a form, but then need to go to a different form and fill something out... and then back to the previous form. Right now, when they come back to the form, all the data previously entered in to the text boxes is gone.
