View 5 RepliesI am creating a window that is a generic keypad for editing numerical values on a touchscreen. I would like to press an 'edit' button to create a copy of the keypad window/bring up a reusable version of the same window (I don't care), but pass in parameters: the old value I'm manipulating, and a title to be displayed above the number pad. I would like the user to be able to type in the new value, then press the 'done' key to submit this value and have it sent back to the main application window into my custom control that contains a text box.(I have the number pad's layout sorted out already; I'm already using a variation on it to set a global password 'access level'. It's getting the information in and out that has me scratching my head.) [code]
View 1 RepliesI have this Quiz software that lets you create online multiple choice quizzes which are great for studying (I am in grad school and I'm trying to use everything I can to learn). So the Quiz software is great but it only lets you input questions by hand, one by one. I took a look at the .xml file that the quiz program spits out and came up with the idea to try and make a converter so that I can import many questions at once. I was hoping to try and solve this limitation by doing the following:
Take a .doc that say a tutor gives us with a bunch of practice questions, and then take that into Crimson Editor, and then format it so the question is on line 1, the multiple choice answers are on lines 3,4,5, and 6, (for the next question, the question would be on line 11, and the answers on lines 13, 14, 15, and 16, and so on) and then take that saved .txt file into my program, hit the generate button, and it will spit out the .xml file, and then import that into the quiz software to generate the online quiz.
Here is an attached screenshot of my program layout so far:
I figured out how to open a text file by watching simple youtube tutorials, but I don't know how to have it generate the stuff and have it show up in the bottom text box. I know how to do the coding to convert the txt to proper xml code but I don't know how to be able to save the contents of the bottom text window to an xml file.

i've been trying for a few hours to get the text of a window in a game (a window not owned by my application). i have used a couple different spy programs, and none of them have found the text, either. they display "custom1" for the window's text. it's the play by play window of a baseball text based game. is it possible that some applications are just impossible to get text from?

View 13 RepliesI am trying to find all text from a slightly older application. The thing is, the old scripit from windows NT finds the text I need no problem, but I cant seem to get it myself.
I find the main window, and cycle through its children, but must be looking at something wrong. I am missing 2 things: The title of the app has the name, and then some status information, the status information does not show up on the window title info. The text in the application itself does not reveal itself to me either
Here is a code snippet of how I try to get the info out:
Private Sub gettext(ByVal hd As IntPtr)
Dim Hwnd As IntPtr = hd
'Alloc memory for the buffer that recieves the text

View 1 RepliesI searched the forums to look for an answer and I found several good exemples, but unfortunately, none worked for me..I want to make a little program to read an Edit field on another window. I understand the basic. I need to get the handle of the main window (using FindWindow) and then find the handle of the Edit field (Using FindWindowEx). So far, so good... I think I managed to get those two correctly doing:
Declare Auto Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal strClassName As String, ByVal strWindowText As String) As Long Declare Auto Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd1 As Long, ByVal hWnd2 As Long, ByVal lpsz1 As String, ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Long
Dim hWindow, hText As Long
hWindow = FindWindow("", "Text")
hText = FindWindowEx(hWindow, 0, "Edit", vbNullString)
(Yes the window title is Text :P). Ok now when I do a MsgBox(hText) it does show a long number (not 0) so I believe it found the Edit field (but I'm not so sure on how to verify if it's the right number... tried Spy++ with no luck).Now, this is where I'm stuck. I know I have to use SendMessage() with WM_GETTEXTLENGTH and WM_GETTEXT which I tried maybe in 100 different ways and none of them worked. I either got an OverflowException or my String would stay empty.

I made an an app that runs up and shows me its window handles.. my other app can find the one textbox and return the handle.. now I just have no clue how to send the message correct to make my string pop up. Do I need just the handle ? or do I need to get the handle of the text property using the getdlgitem ??

Is what I tried after researching how to get clean text on an aero window, but it is still not nice looking.
I am trying to grab what appears to be text of a label from a different process so I can show what it says in my own program using pre-recorded audio files, basically trying to read the programs text to the user, one of the things im missing is reading a label, it appears to be easy to read the Edit control/textbox you can type into & other things but I cant seem to find out reading this label.

View 5 RepliesI'm developing a windows forms app, just upgraded it to use .NET 4.I'm VS 2010 ultimate RC.I'm running it in a virtual PC with 2GB of memory allocated to the virtual PC. I have windows 7 32 bit inside the VPC.I'm running win 7 64 bit with 4 GB at the host OS.Have a business DLL with about 300 of typed data tables.NOTE: The data tables are not in DataSets, we have generated the code for the DataTables using our own code generation mechanism.The data tables have been added as an data source (Of type Object)I'm running VS 2008 in my main OS. (Not a VPC)When running VS 2008 it takes 30 seconds to open the Data Sources window, the first time I open it.About 15 seconds subsequent times.Also when on a form and setting a binding expression it takes 10 seconds before the drop down list of available object to bind to comes up.
I have quite a powerful PC (5 experience score) relative to other developers at my company.This performance is a very serious productivity issue and makes developing windows forms apps very tedious.As a result of this VS 2008 is not very popular.The exact same slow performance seems to still exist with VS 2010. (Similar times)It could be the VPC but I don't have a machine to test this on and I don't want to put the RC on main main development machine.Did you expect a lot less than 300 data sources? 300 seems quite low to me for any real workd business application.
