View 1 RepliesI need to pop a balloon notification through my application. I do not know how to do this.
Actualy I need to pop balloon notification that contains the user information retrieving from oracle database on my database server.
I need to do this when the user logs into his PC.
i like my application to start and goto system tray from begining from where i show or hide my main application form. To implement this i create 1 form named "FRM_main" and 1 Class named "MainClass" then define a procedure in MainClass which is as follow.
[code]Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim FRM_main As Form = New Form
FRM_main.Show()
End Sub[/code]
and set Title, Size and location of form at design time.but i didn't get the desired result. my application didn't start and goto system tray as inteded.i also try coding the FormLoad Event to ME.Hide but it also doesn't work so how do i do this?
I am having an applciation running in system tray notification area, but the problem is that although I exit the application the icon is still there, when I point my mouse near notification area it's gone as it should be when I clicked on exit. I guess it is because my mouse position makes the area to refresh, if so, how can I do it inside my application to avoid having my useless icon in there?
View 1 RepliesI am developing an app that uses a sql backend database (hosted on a different machine).The app I am developing will be run on 10 different workstations simultaneously.Sometimes the app will change the database in such a way that the database needs to initiate a workflow process and I'm not sure of the best way to do this.Also, when database changes happen, how does one best notify the other app instances that the change has happened, so they know to refresh their data? I was thinking that triggers could help initiate the workflow but it might be nice to develop the actual workflow in .net code.Should I write another App to run as a service on the server and do the work and also to tell the client apps when things change?
View 1 RepliesI need to create a notification system for my application that will alert the user once new items have been sent to their queue, which is made of up database entries. The latter part of this question may need to be asked in the database forum, but I guess we'll figure that out First, since I haven't created anything like this before, I need some direction on what the best possible solution would be.The notification system should always be running and work independently of the main app. With this requirement, I thought a Windows Service would be best.
The notification itself will just be a quick form that alerts the user. I'm sure most of that will be fairly easy to create. The only issue I'm wondering about is how to constantly check the database and determine a new record has been inserted.Would a windows service have a timer or something that allows me to constantly check?If it does, how would I determine a new record has been inserted?
1. How to make a application that minimizes into the "Notification Area"?
2. Do somone have a code like:
"If Sound (in system/speaker = greater then 51) then Turn it down to 50?"
how am i going to add a notification into my event program, i have a "add form" to add new records into my database, there's a column name "Event Date" i want to do is when there is a saved event that is scheduled today, on my "home form" there's a msgbox that will notify me that there is a event today.
View 3 RepliesI have multiple control in the form. 10+ textboxes, 2 comboboxes. These controls will change their back color when get focus. I don't want to use control arrays and I don't want to write in multiple GotFocus/LostFocus. The only idea I have is, checking wheather Me.ActiveControl has changed or not from a timer.

Context: I'm working with a relatively simple winforms application, written in VB.NET on the .NET 3.5 framework in Visual Studio 2010. Issue: The FormLoad event creates two threads when the program is opened. One handles automatic update checking and the other performs a time consuming task syncing files with the internet. These threads are initialized as follows:

I know that it is possible to download items with Visual Basic [Code], but I was wondering how I could sense that a file had completed its download. (IE: when the download was complete, another event could happen).
View 2 RepliesI have no difficulty creating and operating a regular notifyicon... But I have an issue - more with method than with the code itself...
Here is what I am doing - I have a notifyicon that changes colour based on the status of a service - this is not an issue...
However, I want the icon to be able to appear via a startup program itself instead of from inside the service (obviously if the service is STOPPED the icon will not be visible making it difficult to start)
The service also changes the icon colour when it is performing a specific timed task (the purpose of the service) - I may also want to force the service to perform the task from yet another application outside the preset interval....but that is a seperate issue at this time...
the best way to have a notifyicon that can control a service(easy) while being able to be controlled BY the same service.(the issue)
I am wondering how can I show a balloon tip for my system tray NotifyIcon application QUICKLY. What I mean by quickly is not linger around for like 5 seconds.. I have tried entering 1. For example my code is currently:

I have just started using Balloon Notifications in one of my apps for work but need to put the text on multiple line.
Here is my code:
nfi_Pick.BalloonTipIcon = ToolTipIcon.Info
nfi_Pick.BalloonTipTitle = Picked_By & " Added A New Item"
nfi_Pick.BalloonTipText = Desc & " --> Branch: " & Item_Location & " --> Can Be Sent Today!"
nfi_Pick.ShowBalloonTip(3)
But it puts the "Can Be Sent Today" on the same line.
