Audio Volume Controls Windows Vista/7 VB 2008
Sep 3, 2009So I'm a bit new to the whole Vista/7 audio setup. My understanding is that a new "mixer" is created for each application. Is there some new .Net function which interfaces with these mixers? I'm actually trying to create an application which can adjust the MAIN system volume level as well as the mute function.
I was looking at the Endpointvolume API however I cant get it to work for me :(. Does anyone have a vb.net demo of how to harness this API?
Set System Volume Level?
Feb 25, 2010I have an application that plays wav and mp3 files using the Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Audio()function. It works fine, and I can easily set the volume level of the playback... within limits.
That limit is the system volume level. I can set the playback level for the mp3, but if the system volume is muted or set real low it may still play softly.
So how do I set the master volume level, including making sure it isn't muted?

Apr 12, 2012I have searched the web for code relating to changing the system volume, muting the system volume, and outputing the current level of the volume as an integer, using VB.NET.
All the code that I have found either doesn't work, or is very long.

View 1 RepliesC# - Gradually Increase System Volume On Windows Mobile / Windows CE 6.0
Jun 19, 2012I'm attempting to use waveOutSetVolume from coredll.dll to gradually increase the audio volume from silent (or near silent) to maximum.
Most of the code examples I'm finding show some predefined set points for Off, Low, Normal, Medium, High, and Very High like this:
Public Enum Volumes As Integer
OFF = 0
LOW = 858993459
[Code]....
OK, and here's some API documentation which doesn't make a lot of sense to me in this particular context. What is low-order word and high-order word and how can they both exist in a single value?
· dwVolume New volume setting. The low-order word contains the left-channel volume setting, and the high-order word contains the right-channel setting. A value of 0xFFFF represents full volume, and a value of 0x0000 is silence. If a device does not support both left and right volume control, the low-order word of dwVolume specifies the volume level, and the high-order word is ignored.

View 2 RepliesVS 2005 Piracy Protection Mechanism And Windows Vista Or Windows 7
Apr 19, 2010i have created some shareware applications. I implemented the following mechanism for piracy protection. Before Windows Vista and Windows 7 i did write a dll file to the System32 folder with an encrypted license key. Also in the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE i inserted a registry key.
The problem is that with Windows Vista and Windows 7 due to the User Account Control (UAC) this is denied.
I want to ask : what other mechanism can be implemented ? Where should i store the encrypted key file and the registry key.
I want that the application can be installed for all users of a computer only once.
If i stored the key in the user's application data directory then another user could easily just install it under another user account. Also i do not want to put the key file in the application directory because that would be too obvious.
note that i create the registry key with my application and not with the installer.

View 1 RepliesGetting The List Of All Top Level Windows As Well As Thumbnail Images?
Feb 23, 2011I'm developing a software for my community library, so I'm searching for a VisualBasic.Net code to achieve the following objectives...
1. Get a list of all top windows displayed on a computer...?
2. how would I retrieve the images of these windows...?
basically the scope of the project is to be able to monitor client activity on the library's client computer systems such as being able to tell how many windows are currently displayed on a client's computer and if possible retrieve thumbnail images of the windows...since the library is hooked up to the internet, the software intends to block use of file sharing sites, and pornography. It is easy to block unwanted sites with certain software, that is if you know what site to block, sadly the list of malicious sites is growing daily... so visual monitoring is required...
Windows Authentication For Intranet Users At The App Level?
Aug 16, 2011My company uses ActiveDirectory, and naturally the IT department wants to maintain control over it and not give control to other users. I'm developing an ASP.NET app (for internal use only) using an SQL Server 2008 database.My question is, how can I BEST use the .NET namespaces and SQL Server to manage access to the app within the organization at the application (or possibly DB) level? I would like the user to be authorized based on their network username as provided by ActiveDirectory.On a side note, I would also like to access their AD contact information.
From my understanding I can use the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider class or Domain Services in the System.DirectoryServices namespace. There's also LDAP which apparently is another possibility. I'm having a hard time making sense of it all, and much less which is the best option and how to implement it. Can anyone provide me with some direction and possibly some simple sample code?
