View 1 RepliesOverreaching amateur developer that is outsourcing some of my work and doing part of it as well. I've been working on a dictionary/ thesaurus / spell check & suggestion application that I am trying to get to work on all applications within the windows environment.
I've used hooking to get key stokes and show output as the person is typing for definitions and spelling suggestions. This isn't accomplishing everything I want. Works fine for spell checking and suggestions but to click on a word that already exists or for touch screen interfaces to touch a word it doesn't work.
I was reading the Raw Input API on MSDN and thought that would work but my developer that I've hired is advising me that the RAW input's scope is only on the window that has focus and so cannot do low level hooking. I'm considering giving the effort but wanted a 2nd third fourth perspective prior to making the effort.[URL]

View 2 RepliesA gyrocompass simulator? Basically i work with stabalized VSAT antennas that track a satellite around 30,000 K in the sky from a ship getting tossed around at sea. These antennas need to know where they're pointing so they can find the satellite, this is where the gyrocompass comes in. It tell the antenna how many degrees from north it is pointing.
I need a simulator to imitate the output of a gyrocompass on a ship that is moving around. The program would pass data out of the serial port so i could hook it up to the antenna and it would know where it is pointing when i am testing it.

Is anyone familiar with making a program compiled in visual basic .net compatible with windows vista 64 bit, The installer gets a runtime error initially but then If I runt it as administrator it runs fine, After it's installed I get a ocx error but when I run the program in admin mode again it works fine, How can I go about editing my program so that it doesn't come up with the errors. Can I get the program to initially run as the administrator?
View 1 RepliesBack when VBStudio 2005 was the latest in .net programming, I created a program that, among other things, sets the user's system clock after obtaining certain code from time.gov and adjusting it according to a set of numbers. Due to a change in one of the websites with which the program works, it stopped working. I downloaded VB2005 Express (since I reinstalled WinXP since then and didn't feel like looking for MSVB Studio 2005), opened the source code, and made the correction. The program now works in what appears to be its entirety in WinXP. However, when it attempts to perform the function I mentioned earlier on a Vista machine, an error (a built-in error I included in the program) appears. Note that even on a Vista machine, the program does have some functionality. All requests that the program makes to access other websites is done using HTTP web requests.

View 1 RepliesI have a user of one of my programs reporting that they get an "access to the path...is denied" error during this section of [code]He's using Windows 7 x64 with UAC turned on. The location of "FilePath" is a subdirectory inside Program Files (x86) in this case.I tried to reproduce the error on my Windows 7 x64 system by enabling UAC (I usually have it off) but the program worked fine. However, in my case, "FilePath" is not in a protected system folder like Program Files (where write permissions are not given to normal users without admin elevation).So I tried to recreate this situation on one of my Vista x86 Virtual PCs where the "FilePath" would be inside Program Files. However, my program again worked fine. It had no problems writing to the Program Files folder with a normal user account, UAC turned on and no elevated permissions required.
Thus, I am confused. Why does it work for me and not for him? I want to try an x64 virtual machine but I can't with the software I have (Virtual PC doesn't support x64 guest OSs, VirtualBox won't run the software that my program interacts with). So maybe you guys can help me instead. Are the write permissions for the Program Files (x86) folder different between x86 and x64, or maybe even Vista and 7?
