I have made my application to start automaticly when windows start (registry ../currentversion/run/appname + path). In this mode the application start minimized and an little icon appear in the notification icon area. With this icon you can maximize the app or exit it.If you exit the app and start it again using the Menu (Start/programs etc) than the application start in minimized mode (and in this case I would like to have it in normal mode) because the setting autostart is still true.Is there a way you can detect when the application start when windows startup using the above registry or when people click on an icon in the programs menu (or desktop)?

View 2 RepliesI have a button in my windows form using vb.net when I actually clicked the button something happen then when I press any keys like enter or space, it focuses on the button since it was clicked and the codes in my button is the one that is executing rather than the codes in my enter or space key. I think it means that the button is being pressed when I hit spacebar and enter because there is a blue border in the button. When I click a button the focus remains on the button. I don't know how to remove that.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to do a little remake of the old game Achtung! Die Kurve, which is a snake-like game, but with multiple players trying to corner eachother until one remains. Don't play it, it's way to addictive, thats why I'm doing the remake now, I want to play it with up to 8 players instead of 6.
Now here's the problem: to draw the snake, I just use the GDI+ and make it draw a 3x3 rectangle on the form background. It works fine, until you resize or minimize/maximize or something like that, which causes a complete repaint of the form. This is not a problem... but when I press ALT or TAB, the form repaints.
And even stranger: it only happens the first time I hit each button. I can make it happen twice by hitting ALT and then TAB or vice versa, after that, nothing. I really don't get it, and its driving me crazy. I dont want a game with a splash screen saying 'First hit alt, then tab to start the game. Not at the same time that makes you leave the game.'
as the description describes it does nothing, but i want it to run btnSearch_Click event.This is my code, i have been fiddling with for a while now and driving me insane.

View 4 RepliesI'm making a jungle timer for League of Legends, where I will make buttons you can click or you can start by a hotkey.
The button will be a picture of the specific jungle camp, and when the press/start it, it will start a timer, which will count down to when the jungle camp spawns again. When you press this button, it will change the design of the button to make the picture blurry and add a timer above it, that you can see.
My question is how do you change the design of the button, when you press it, like I explained?
I've been trying to write code below many time, but it still doesn't work.

The problem with the code is that I am never able to press Button2. The loop continues and even with an application.doevents, I am unable to press button2 to make bEnd become true and pause the code. Does anyone have an idea of what I could use so that Button2 could be pressed during this event. The idea of multi-threading was tossed around before but I would need some good references to get an idea of how to do it.
I am checking if one of the function keys is pressed in the KeyDown event of a TextBox using the following
If e.KeyCode >= Keys.F1 And e.KeyCode <= Keys.F12 Then
'do something here
End If
This works fine, except when I press F10 the cursor in the textbox freezes (ie. stops blinking) & doesn't free up until another key is pressed. Does Windows use this key for some other functionality that causes this behavior?

I have a form to create staff.
Hence after a new staff created, user can click on new button at the bottom to show a new staff form and close the previous one (parent form).
I have the following code under new button click event but i found that the previous form (parent form) somehow is still held in the memory.
What is the correct way to implement this and make sure parent form is released from the memory every time i click on the new button?
