I am writing a simple program that serves a similar purpose as the character map, but just for the Spanish letters with accents (������ & ������). Character map doesn't work for me because I have to highlight the letter I want to insert and then copy it and then paste it into whatever window I'm working with.What I want to make is a program that has buttons for each of those letters, and when I push the button for a particular letter, it inserts the character into whatever window was active before I pressed the button. I also want whatever window that was active before I pressed the button (the window I inserted the character into) to become active again so I can resume typing right after I press the button.

I have tried searching how to do it, to no avail. Where do I begin?
i am trying to capitalize the first character of a name when i insert the name in an sql DB from a vb.net application! I tried the initcap an the upper function, but didn't work! Is tehre a solution?
I want to insert a special character into a RichTextBox. The character is in a Medieval Latin font (Andron) which is installed on my machine.
When I open MS Word and select Andron as the font, then go to Insert Symbol, then scroll down till I find the symbol I want, I see that its Unicode value is A752, selecting it inserts it into Word OK.
Now, back to my VB2005 project: I have a RichTextBox on my form, and the Font is set to Andron. I have two buttons on the form. Behind the first button I have this simple
However, on clicking this button I get the ubiquitous square symbol, as if it cannot find that character, which is odd (to me) as the correct font is selected for the RTB, and that code is the correct code for the symbol I want.
Edit to add: I can now see that all characters up to Ascii (Decimal) 255 (which equates to Unicode 00FF) all display OK, but any value over that does not.
I am doing a project on inserting of data through window applications. I am using the MS Access 2003 for the database. I have this form1 and in this form1, it consists of 6 textbox which is custName,Address,position,companyName,Email,Telephone and 1 combobox which consists of the lists of industry.My problem is that I want to insert the data when running this application.
im using VB 2008 is it possible to get active window name or id? for example i have active notepad window, now how i can get it's process name or process ?id(better is process id)
How to check if a window is active? My case is: I have a program which runs in maxmize mode, allways on top, with no option to close and then i run another program which will normally run behind my program, but i want to enter ok or something to that program when i press a button in my program.So i think first i will have to verify if that program is active then i need to send a key (enter) in order for it to continue running while my program is visible to user.
Is there a way I can take a screenshot of a window that is not the active window? I want to give the user his current open windows and he select one of them as the target window for the SS, my target is to let him work on one window while my application will take ss of not active window.. what is the best way to accomplish that ?
How do I move the active window. I want to be able to set its locations,size, and even close it if possible.I ant to move any active window not just my active window
I'm creating an OLD-DB database query tool and in the process of programing the new connection dialogue box.
Creating a new OLE-DB connection requires you to create a .udl file and execute it. After execution a dialogue box will pop up letting you create a connection. The issue is that the default TAB that is selected isn't the one I need.[code]...
i am making a windows application using visual studio 2008. there are many forms in it and at a time more than one form may be open in the application. i want that at such a time, only the currently active window is shown in the taskbar instead of the taskbar becoming full of different windows for the same application.
I need to create a form where AlwaysOnTop = True when the browser is visible. This creates some sort over "overlay". The logic works like this:
The program checks which window is active.If the active windows is a certain process, my form will initialize the TopMost utility, and be the active window itself. When the certain process is not the active window anymore, my form will disappear.
[Code]...
My program checks if a browser is the active window, if so: the form gets topmost and the program stops checking what the active window is. (because my topmost form is the active window now).Now the program needs to check what the window under my form is, the second active window. If it's not the browser anymore, the form needs to hide, and the program will check what the active window is again.
I already completed the function that checks what the first active window is, I'm stuck on getting the function that checks what the second active window is.
I'm making a game that makes use of Control.MouseButtons and GetActiveWindow() like so:
Private Declare Auto Function GetActiveWindow Lib "user32.dll" () As IntPtr Public Sub GetMouseState(ByRef x As Integer, ByRef y As Integer, ByRef lButton As Boolean) Dim p As Point = Parent.PointToClient(Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position) x = p.X
[code]....
Does GetActiveWindow() not return the correct value only when my game is running?
I'm trying to be able to get the caption of the currently active window. I've figured out that I should be using GetForegroundWindow, but when I use it I'm just getting a long string of numbers, which I think is the handle. How do I go from that to the actual caption?
Is there an easy way to find out what the active window is within the .NET framework?
I have seen a few methods via google using API calls, but I thought that was what .NET was supposed to eliminate, by giving the programmer a way to get access to everything within the framework?
I was wondering if there's a method to set the form as the active window (not topmost obviously), if it's currently not the active window (meaning another window is currently the active one). By active I mean "selected".
The user32.dll provides functions to get the process id from a process executable name, and I can also obtain the active or foreground window that the user is working.Can I determine what windows the targeted process has opened? Otherwise, can I find out what details about the process that opened the foreground/active window?
My code needs to run only when another specific process is running and the user is actively using that window, while that window is the top-most window on the desktop.
how to set either a focus window or active window or something, but still able to move around in other windows with out my SendKeys function sending keys to any other window. This is the code I have to set the active window to the window I need to sendkeys to:
Dim targetWnd As Long = FindWindow("ncrwgst1.wal-mart.com - PuTTY", vbNullString) SetActiveWindow(targetWnd) Timer1.Start()
Now anytime I have like notepad or even my Remedy window up, it sends the keys to that window. how to set it where it JUST sends to the targethWnd I have defined and still move around in my other windows?
I've tried everything to set my window as active after I've been working on another external App... I have my system on auto and need to send some keystrokes to the program using sendkeys, so I need that app active. I've tried almost everything I can think of, bringtofront, setfocus, windowstate, setactivewindow, setforegroundwindow (For the last 2, hwnd doesnt work - I'm using VB 2008 Express) but none of them seem to be working.
I am currently writing a program that takes a joystick input, and simulates key presses (hold) in the active window (a game). This should be used for a virtual H-Shifter, like the one in a car, to change gears.[code]...
