View 3 RepliesOnce again, I come on my knees to ask for your guidance :P Well, actually I was hoping to see if anyone could someone make up a code similar to this idea xP.

View 5 RepliesI'm writing a Windows Forms application in VB.Net 2010. The application's purpose is to recreate the Device Manager in VB.Net. The idea here is to capture the information provided by Device Manager and store it in a database. In turn this information could be used as a configuration management tool.
My device tree is coming along nicely, with one minor exception. There are hidden devices that Device Manager does not display by default. Show Hidden Devices causes Device Manager to display these devices. My Device Manager displays them by default. I want to duplicate the Device Manager behavior of being able to hide and display these devices in my appilcation. I have had some success with this task in that I am able to hide the Plug and Play devices that are marked as hidden by windows by use of the "Don't Display In DM" flag. There is the small issue of the Non Plug and Play Device Class. My question is this... Is there a similar flag for Non Plug and Play devices? I have found a reference to the PNP_DEVICE_STATE and IRP_MN_QUERY_PNP_DEVICE_STATE IRP. It contains a flag
PNP_DEVICE_DONT_DISPLAY_IN_UI. My problem is that I cannot find any guidance as to the structure of this API declare and the coding needed to use it. I'm not even sure if this API will be helpful in accomplishing my task. I want to hide the Non Plug and Play devices and device class in my tree. Can someone please assist me with the locating an API that will accomplish this and the proper coding of the API in VB?

I have a little chunk of code that open the device manager by using the command line. I want it to open a specific tree eg: Monitors .Is there a way to pass a parameter to the device manager to open this specific tree or item?
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Shell("mmc devmgmt.msc")
End Sub

I want to make an application that allows the manager of the company whether the employees are truly active: screenshot and a "timer" to measure the time of the activity of the employee Can be controlled using the mouse or keyboard while the application is not active, but in execution.Is it possible in vb.net to know if the user of the machine is using the mouse or keyboard? My idea is to set a "Timer" which triggers automatically after the connection of the employee and every 10 seconds the application checks whether the mouse position has changed or a letter is entered on the keyboard except the"Timer" Will Be stopped until have a new mouse position or activity on the keyboard. But the problem is: is the application able to know the position of the mouse or to capture all keyboard input even if the application n 'is not active(not in the foreground)?

Greetings,I created a new db in the SERVER Manager to experiment with; however it has real data that I would not like to loose. When I tried to access the db from VB 2008 Express it would not connect. Finally I connected by rebooting and NOT opening SQL Management applet. Ever since I have connected in VB I have not been able to connect from SQLManagement. I have been battling cancer for the past serveral years and have forgotten many of my skills. Things change so fast and I'm way behind.

View 1 Replies Made what I think was a tactical error by using lots of 3rd party controls that made it easy to get stuff going but resulted in carrying a lot of baggage with my apps. Now it is finally time to switch to VB.Net and I want to avoid 3rd party controls as much as possible.
The database is MS Access. Master table called GroupName, key GroupID, string GroupName. Child table is GroupCustomer, key GroupID+CustomerID. Two datagridviews, GroupName on top, CustomerGroup on bottom. I've studied the one to many videos and howto's and it is easy and works like a champ. Fill the tables, sort, filter, add, update, delete, all is well.
Top grid
GroupID1 GroupName1
GroupID2 GroupName2
and so on.....
[code]....
However, adding a third table is where I get into trouble. In the bottom grid I want to link customerID to the Customer table to pick up Name, address, city, state & zip for display purposes. I've modified the table adapter to create a select query returning the lookup data with the groupID and customerID. It displays nicely on the Fill but doesn't automatically refresh the customer lookup fields when I add or change a customerID and I can't seem to update new records or deletes. The only table in my query that I want to update is the GroupCustomer table but the query is not updateable.I've been trying to figure this out, read articles, learn, step back and think but am still stuck. how to use the controls that come with VS2010.
