View 2 RepliesI am currently working on an application to automate file download(s). My main application is running a query for downloads with embedded browser. When the results are returned they need to be downloaded and saved. This works fine. The last step of the process it to start download and the 'File Download' dialog pops up. I wanted to create another application that would monitor for the 'File Dialog' windows (knowing the main application Process ID I can ensure that I find only the dialogs generated by my application).

View 11 RepliesI need an API for sendmessage and sendmessagetimeout for my VB .net application. I have searched quite a bit, and everything I find doesn't seem to work: either the message just doesnt seem to be sent, or the message appears to be sent with the msg parameter always 0, and the wparam setting as what I enter for the msg setting. Pinvoke's also always seems to throw an AccessViolationException for I have no idea what reason. I tried playing around with maybe just where I put the variable, but unsurprisingly, there is not a simple logical switch of the variables.I have tried pinvoke's:

What is the difference between the winreg and advapi32.dll APIs. I am trying to convert a VB code into Python. I have seen that the VB code has RegOpenKeyEx() from advapi32.dll. Now in Python, there is a topic on WinReg access and there this api RegOpenKeyEx() is mentioned. can I use this instead.
View 1 RepliesI have consumed a word doc in my app with the SetParent and SetWindowLong APIs. When I close the app I want to leave the word doc open. I have used the SetParent and used IntPtr.Zero(2nd parameter) which kinda works - it just does not have a document border. Would I use the SetWindowLong function - if so what would the parameters be? I have looked at the SetWindowLong function, just not sure about the second and last parameters. What would be the proper way to do this?

View 5 RepliesI am refactoring a large and complicated code base in .NET that makes heavy use of P/Invoke to Win32 APIs. The structure of the project is not the greatest and I am finding DllImport statements all over the place, very often duplicated for the same function, and also declared in a variety of ways:The import directives and methods are sometimes declared as public, sometimes private, sometimes as static and sometimes as instance methods. My worry is that refactoring may have unintended consequences but this might be unavoidable.
My instict is to organize a static/shared Win32 P/Invoke API class that lists all of these methods and associated constants in one file... EDIT There are over 70 imports to the user32 DLL.(The code base is made up of over 20 projects with a lot of windows message passing and cross-thread calls. It's also a VB.NET project upgraded from VB6 if that makes a difference.)
I'm having some problems with some API calls. I'm trying to return device driver information for a given device in device manager so I can access the available information and display it. I'm using a series of API calls which in turn populates a list with device driver objects associated with that device. The API calls fail. The problem is that I can't find any reference material online for these APIs so I can figure out what's wrong. [code]
View 1 RepliesI'm making an installer that needs to have information stored inside the exe itself.I cannot use my.settings because it is stored outside the application and if it is changed and the exe is moved to another computer it will reset to default.
And I cannot use resources since I cannot add/edit resources after the application is build.
Is there any way I can store and change info even if the application is moved to another location?

can we unzip a zipped folder using microsoft APIs or namespaces perhaps System.IO.Compression. However, it seems to be cumbersome to use them. With a thrid party dll file it works perfectly fine, however i dont want to use it as we dont know what is actually happening inside. Can we have a piece of code which unzips a zipped folder.

I made a program it is a Program that tells you information about your computer and CPU and much more but I am having an unusual erro here it is.
Error = Sorry I have my moms computer and dont have the project but I do remember it said something about a CatagoryName.
So i am writing something for work, and i was roaming the internet to see how to do it in vb.net, but it seems to really not have many hits. vb.net doesnt recognize Declare and all information points to things that say Private Declare Function [info]What i was wanting to do is to check if a computer has a DSN card in system DSN's, if it has it use the information and connect, otherwise, quit the program.
Do you know where i can find how to do this? I just need to check for the existance, i dont need to make them.All of my search results, while seemingly useful, were not written for vb.net I want to get something up here specifically for vb.net so we can get more search hits. i find more information, i will post it, but it doesnt seem to be going too far in the vb.net department, as it is in .net

View 2 RepliesI have a win form with three textboxes that lets the user input information using VB.net 2008. I am wanting the program to send me the information entered (when they hit the send button) as an email and also drop the information entered into an access database.I have the program sending the textbox information as an email.What I am having trouble with is saving the three textboxes to access database. I have an access database set up with a table and three fields for the three textboxes.
All I need to do is each time a user uses the program, it adds the information they enter into the three textboxes to the three different fields in the database. I don't need to let the user view or edit the database in any way.
I am trying to write a program that allows user input information and plot a bifurcation diagram that looks like this:I haven't program in 2 years:sick: so I am all rusty and such. Here is what I have got so far and more information about what I am doing.
Bifurcation:
f(x) = kx(1-x)
and k = xL + i * (xR-xL) / 500
when i runs from 0 to 500, it plots (i, f(seed)), (i, f(f(seed)), .... up to the boundary number.Here is what I have got so far. Everything seems normal, however, I am really confused when it comes to plotting.
