I am trying to build a program that monitors how other programs are being used and as part of it I need to figure out if it is possible to work out using VB code what window, program or process the user is currently using or Focused on.
View 1 RepliesI want to know how can I make a program what will work in any type of resolution & monitor. For example if I make an application fullscreen it will work. But problem is that text boxes or another things will not work properly. For example if I make a program & make it fullscreen for 1440 * 900 resolution it will work fine when it will get 1440 * 900 resolution. But when it will get different resolution like 1280 * 1024 or something like that it will make my application fullscreen but buttons or another things will not be present there in same place. So what should I do to get rid of this problem? All I want to make a program what will adjust itself everywhere(though you change resolution or monitor like 17 inch or 29 inch whatever it will work & buttons & another thinks will be there in same place).

I am trying to start CMD and pass a command to it and then monitor it in the app I am writing. The user enters the information that makes the commandline and when they click Go it does start CMD but straight away it says it can't find the file.Is there any way I can view what is being sent to the CMD prompt to double check that this is correct? Do I need to specify the path to the file I want it to run, i.e. cscript c: estMigrate.wsf?

View 5 RepliesThis question may be vague but I was wondering if anyone has ever implemented an application that basically creates a UI to list and monitor all running applications you have running. This applies to many developers who might have multiple programs running continuously and it would be great to have an app that monitors these programs..or does anyone think it is just unnecessary.
View 1 RepliesCan I monitor the registry for changes similar to how sysinternals process monitor does it in VB? I have checked many different articles and C# samples but not come any closer to getting an answer, I would like to know if there an easier way (a VB sample perhaps)that you folks can share. Ultimately I'd like to be able monitor other things too like file system, processes etc but wonder most about how the registry can be done in VB...Would using system.management be a start? Or WMI? if so is there a nice VB sample..
View 3 RepliesI'm looking to write a custom program in VB.NET / C++ / C# that would allow me to monitor a system's vitals over a Remote Desktop Connection. I'm only looking for tips on how to implement a connection like this in code (eg. is it just a simple object or call to a WScript function? or is it much more sophisticated?). As to the specifics of operation after making the connection, I have that figured out based on another program which shares some similar features. This doesn't have to go through an RDP connection, I'm definitely looking for better ways. Reason I mention RDP is because I currently do this manually over an RDP connection, but I don't wanna have to constantly open the window.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to direct a form in VB.NET to open and maximize in the second monitor. That is if there are two monitors displayed, to have the form load in the second window maximized by default?
Say a program was made with two forms and a computer has two monitors attached.
I want FormA to show in MonitorA by default and FormB to show in MonitorB maximized by default

View 3 RepliesIntended use of program:
1. User enters 1-3 websites they wish to monitor
2. User clicks go next to textbox with data entered, then button and a copy of form refered to as browse is created.
3. Form refered to as browse is directed to the url refered to on the form refered to as monitor, in the associated textbox(passed as a parameter to copyForm)
4. A timer is used to refresh the webpage every 10 seconds
What I wanted to happen was the program turn the associated picturebox in form1 green if page is loaded, and black is loading.

I am creating an application in vb.net in which many users can add, update, and modify data stored in sql, but one user at a time. Users have to login to the application and then they can start their work. I want to know how I can monitor their work after they log out, like which user updated the record and at which time.
View 1 RepliesI need to create a small program that runs in the taskbar to monitor browser urls for particular words.We are using it at work to catch people going to certain banned websites in the work place.Right now it works if i hand code each banned site into the code directly and run with a timer:[code]This works perfectly. Problem now is the Admins want direct access to add/remove different sites to the list.There is no way I am giving them access directly to my code (a bad day comes to mind).So I am attaching a small database with a small table to the server and allowing them to add URLS there. I am stuck in how to use this data though.I have tried pulling up the database column into a listbox but can not configure the code to check each line in listbox to compare to each browser window.
I also tried listed the items in a one column datagrid and try to loop through each row to compare each window.I need each browser window to be compared to a list of items and trigger events if a match is found.If your wondering why I am building this, our IS security people are all or nothing. Either no Net or Full Access.Also our people are a bit to smart to be tracked through history or simple blocking methods.

View 3 RepliesI am really confused! My program doesn't work if I don't have Visual Studio here in my PC. To test it I have uninstalled Visual Studio. But my program doesn't work though Flash Player is present there (I have used Flash animation in the first form).
To be more sure about it I have installed Flash. But it's not working! That means the Flash animation file (.swf) is not making a problem! It needs support from Visual Studio to start. Doesn't it mean that some files are not attached with a setup file as a result it needs Visual Studio to run? Let me tell you how I create a setup file of my program.

I was referred to this forum section for VB2008 questions instead of VB6, so Ill assume this is the right place to ask this question. Yes I copy/pasted.I'm EXTREMELY new to VB2008 and I was basically making a program that is used for "password storage" that will be used only by me, I have made a simple login page that will not allow new usernames/passwords and a simple text box-listbox-add-delete page for submitting and displaying what I wish. What Im trying to do is make it so every time I open the listbox form, you are prompted with the login form. Im not sure of a proper term for this as I just downloaded VB2008 2 days ago.

View 1 RepliesI have an issue with my .NET application and it can only be reproduced sometimes and only on client's location, which makes it extremely difficult to resolve. In the application the forms authentication is used. There is a login page to which every anonymous user is redirected. After user enters username and password, it redirects to DefaultURL or some predefined page. The problem is that sometimes when user enters correct username and password, it doesn't login, instead it just refreshes the login page without any error messages. After several tries of inputing username and password, user is able to login to the system.
See my login page Submit_Click code below:
Dim userName As String = tbUsername.Text
Dim password As String = tbPassword.Text
Dim returnUrl As String = Request("returnUrl")

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a simple calculator program for work in VB.NET and I'd like it that an operation could be performed without a mouse click and instead by using the Enter key. So essentially I want the segment of the program that is usually run by button to have the ability to be run by the Enter key.I'm using VS2010.This is what I was trying to do but I suppose I'm not doing it correctly because the Enter key does not do anything when I press it.

I hava a form app, that runs hidden, with just a notify icon, the goal is control worker schedule and alert them for some things they have to do.My problem is,when i open a form (with TopMost = True), it works if the user is admin of the machine or domain admin, if the user is "regular" user, the form just don't open or shown to the screen.I believe that it has got something to do with write permissions in the app folder. I have a contextmenu that works great, even restoring the hidden main form, it just doesn't show/open the other form, without any error.Shouldn't .net use the user $temp folder to write something? If not what's the best way for the app use the EnvironmentVariable("temp")?

View 1 RepliesI have this weird issue:I developed an application with a sequence like this login form -> mainform (=mdi parent) --> some functionform (mdi-child)--> report form
The reportform contains a reportviewer and will display different dataset queries depending on the state of some radio buttons which are located on the previous form ('some function form'). When I run the project directly from the 'some function form' (set startup form for project) things work great. The report shows the correct data depending on choices made on the previous form.But....when I run the project all the way from login and mainform it doesn't work. Seems like the choices made on the "some function form' are not coming through to the report form.

View 7 RepliesI was sent here by someone else that said someone here might.Below. is the message I get every time I reboot. I am not sure if it's a .NetFrame Work 1.0 or 1.1 error or not. It may be Visual Basic as I really don't know. Also, may be where I uninstalled some program or another the wrong way, by just deleting the folder instead of using the add and remove programs. I did have 1 program uninstall in-correctly by Revo Pro Uninstaller also about the time I started getting this error. But, I do know in the header error box it does say ".NetFrame Work" though... I just adding these suggestion as it might help you know what the problem might be. I have XP Home 2002 with Service Pack 3 installed. I have repaired the .Net FrameWork 2.0, 3.0 , 3.5 and 4.0. I couldn't repair the 1.0 or the 1.1 as I have deleted my temp folders that must have had something the installer needed in them. I tried to repair them with the "Installer" located in the "Installer" folder but it ask for some file in the temp directory that I did not have so I had to cancel the repair.

I did a function to one of my projects to a DLL file, and when the user starts the function a icon for that function grows (to show that the function is open).When the user closes the function the icon should shrink back again. But i have some problem whit that.The problem is: when i open a other form, the icon shrinks even if i haven't closed the function.What make it strange is that i have 2 function like that, the first one is the one that is behaving like this and the second one works the same way, but the second icon do not shrink when i open a new form. The second icon only shrinks when i close that function.
Here is the code for the opening of the first function:
Private Sub MedlemskortToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MedlemskortToolStripMenuItem.Click
frmm = New Medlemdskort.Form1
frmm.datap = Application.StartupPath & "\database2.mdb"
