Listening For An Event From One Program And Capture It On Another?
Mar 1, 2010
Listening for an event from one program and capture it on another?is this possible, I'm asuming I would want to send a system wide event so I could capture it.My scenarioLet�s say I have this separate Splash animation (a series of png/bmp etc) but instead of having them in the main program itself I want them separate in a DLL/EXE.So how can I raise an event (probably system wide event I would imagine) letting the Main program know that the Splash DLL/EXE has finished it animation so the main app can continue?

I have alot of experience in working in VBA for excel, but not so much experience in creating my own structures so it's all still a bit foggy. I'm trying to capture the event for when the F1 key is pressed, not just when the form is active, but anytime the program is running. The code below expressing the handling is automatically generated for me in VB Express... But I'd like to change the situation to encompass anytime the program is open. I guess I have to reference events that happen in windows in general, but i don't know how to do it. I think i have to create the even in a class module?

I'd like to create a WebBrowser for the purpose of taking a screenshot of a website. Once its finished it will update a thumbnail image in a ListView. I'd like the whole operation to be done in the background so the UI remains responsive.I toyed with Creating the WebBrowser in a new thread and calling Navigate. I can use a loop to watch for the ReadyState of the webbrowser before I do the screencapture. However it will only continue with the thread if I use Application.DoEvents in that loop. I've never been a huge fan of doing this and would prefer to watch for an event instead. However if I add a handles clause to the WebBrowser it doesn't fire (I tried creating the WebBrowser in the thread, and also tried by declaring it as shared within the class scope).

Ok, so this is VERY simple to do IF I was working with a regular Textbox control. But of course, Microsoft does not have an "AcceptsReturn" property for a MaskedTextbox Control.
So, if the user finishes typing in the MaskedTextbox control and hits the [Enter] key.... How do I capture that key stroke with this type of control? Also, what if this MaskedTextbox is on a UserControl, not a regular WindowsForm?

I have the following code to control how a form is shut down. Specifically, when they click the red x at the top of the form. My question is, how do I control the minimize button at the top of the page. I want my forms to minimize to the information bar instead. I know how to send it there if I can capture the minimize event.
Private Sub xmlTest_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
e.Cancel = True '--- will not close form

I've been searching all over and I'm either not searching for the right words or it just doesn't exist. I've got a datagridview (dgv) on a form with some textboxes that are databound to different fields in the dgv's datasource. I want to capture an event if someone changes a value through one of the databound controls so I can mark the row as modified. I've been going through the dgv events trying to capture something, but I can't find anything that fires when a value is changed. The dgv is read only, so the values can only be changed through the databount textboxes.
How to I know if someone changes a value in the dgv? Is there a setting in the dgv that will tell me if a row is modified?

I know generally it is not the best solution for a child to handle an event of parent. Take this for example; Mainform loads UserControlOne, UserControlOne handles all UserControlOne needs to. How ever we need a MenuStrip/ToolStrip. MainForm does not need to know much about what UserControlOne is doing. Other then receive some information on a statusbar. Right now events are controlling this.
The menustrip/toolstrip need to be able to speak to UserControlOne, for example when buttons are clicked on the strips. Would you; Allow the child to add a handler to capture the parents event? Move the MenuStrip/ToolStrip/StatusStrip all to UserControlOne so we can ignore all this event hassle? My Major concern with this is now we have taken all the head ache away from MainForm and crushed it into UserControlOne. Any suggestions?

How To Design an Outlook AddIn to capture New Mail Event In Vb .net. I've been able to use code to read the number of unread email messages in an Outlook Inbox. I'm trying to design a plug-in which will be more functional and Catch whenever the SendReceive event is fired. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I am writing an outlook addin that is supposed to check for any new email messages. I am trying to attach to the send/receive action that occurs within Outlook (Either auto S/R or manual S/R). I have read on a forum online that there is no such event as a Send'Receive, how ever you can use a NewMailEvent. Can anyone demonstrate how this could be done in VB 2005/2008? I would like the Plug-In to check everytime Outlook receives new email.

In a Windows XP Pro environment, my system uses a mainframe emulator in a window in which a scanning application is running. The data populating the mainframe app comes from various instruments, scales, barcode scanners, etc.. The data inputs are captured by a winwedge type RS232 data aquisition software.
When all the data is processed correctly, the mainframe application sends an "operation completed" message and creates an exclamation system event associated with a specific sound to inform the user.
My goal is to create a MS Access application that would use the Exclamation system event to validate writing the barcode that was just read to a database without further querying the mainframe, creating a local database. I only want to write the barcode when the mainframe application completed and therefore played the sound.

I have a set of tools that I've built as a class library that is hosted/referenced within a main application (ESRI's ArcMap). I'd like to manage the case where a user may pull the pin on the main application while they have unsaved/unmanaged edits pending. I tried handling the Application.ThreadExit event w/ no success. Is there a best practice for accessing the closure of a hosting application in .Net?

My application must work in background.

I am making a webcam capture program in vb.net to scan qr codes. I found some examples that show tracking a certain color, but that wont work because the qr codes have different colors. some are red, blue, purple, black, and green. I am using the touchless sdk to capture the video. How would I go about tracking the person's hand holding a 1"x1" cube? I am trying to reduce the "background noise" that the scanner has to try to read through.

I need to write a program that will capture a twain scan, then let the user input a file name and append a date and time stamp to the file. Afterwards, it should upload the file to a ftp share on our network. As a bonus, I would like it to log the transaction to a SQL server so we can verify the file was uploaded. The catch is, I have almost no programming experience. I have written a small program here and there, but never something that I had to call an outside source for besides SQL. We do have an in-house VB programmer, but he is to busy to do something like this. I wanted to give it a try myself before hiring someone else to do it since it sounds like such a simple program. I know how to layout the basic forms and I can probably figure out how to log the transaction, but I am looking for examples on twain scans and saving to ftp.
