So how can I get the fonts to remain the same without having them installed on the system???
Details: I have been dealing with an issue for quite a while now. I set a specific font for a Form. Then, once I build, an try to use it on a different computer that doesn't have the same fonts installed as the computer I made the .exe on, the fonts change.
i am creating one application and i want it to stick to screen edge/corner when dragged near to the edge of the screen.i want it be like in WINAMP.
View 2 RepliesI'm working with a project that is WPF and VB.net. I want to visually simulate "dragging" an object (though I do not want to use standard drag and drop for reason of purpose).Basically, I have a label object that, on its MouseDown event, I want it to follow the mouse cursor inside a 640x480 solid-size grid (but not outside of it!). Mind you, this grid is centered inside a full-screen window. Again, the object should not follow the mouse outside of the grid (I'm guessing a "ClipToBounds = True" here)Then, on the label's MouseUp event, I want it to either stay in its current position or return to its original position, as determined by the value of a boolean variable set by another object's MouseEnter property.Note, if it would be easier to work with, I can change the grid to a canvas in a cinch. I'm guessing that would be desirable.
How do I make the object (label) follow the mouse cursor inside the grid/canvas, but not outside of it? This needs to happen on the MouseDown event of the label.How do I make the object "stick" in its current position? (From this, I can probably figure out how to make it return to its original position on my own.
I have a program made in vb 2010. The problem is it uses my files on the computer such as different cursors and pictures and I really want to be able to make it portable and stick it on a memory stick and run it on other computers. Is this possible?

I bought myself a TV tuner USB stick, and the supplied software does not do what I want. I looked around for some software examples, but everything I've seen uses DirectShow which was apparently part of DirectX-9, but does not seem to be in DirectX-10. I've found AxMSVidCtlLib, but have not been able to work out how to use it.

View 13 RepliesI would like to have my application basically appear as if it was part of the desktop background, I've removed the form border etc and made the background colour of the form the same as our standard company background so it all blends in nicely. I have also made it so the app does not appear in the toolbar and it is set to launch on startup so it appears as soon as the user logs in - so all works fine and looks fine because any new apps that the user opens will open on top of my app. The only problem is that if they press the Show Desktop button (or use Windows Key + D) to minimize all apps, mine gets minimized as well and disappears. Its easy enough to get the user to make it appear again as it has a system tray icon that they can interact with, but it would be better if it just didn't vanish when they did this.Now I know the best thing for this on Windows 7 would be a Gadget but the problem is that Gadget's annoyingly have to be HTML/javascript and a) I'm not great with web coding and b) I don't think it is even possible to do what my app does from a HTML/javascript page... oh and c) I can't find any way to deploy gadgets in a business network (there is no way we are installing it manually on all 300 of our PCs), so the gadget idea is not looking very promising.I'm wondering if there is some window message I can capture and ignore in the WndProc event handler
View 12 RepliesMy whole project consists of:
1. an electronic product
2. a memory stick (USB mass storage device) and
3. CD thast includes the Windows user interface program
The electronic product acts as a host controller that write data to a file (.wcs), which is in the memory stick whenever the user plug it to the USB connector. After this the user disconnect the memory stick from the electronic product and plug it to a PC that run the user interface program. Untill now the user searches for the .wcs file manually using an OpenFileDialog.
My question is:Is it possible for the program to automatic detect almost plaged or new plaged USB flash memory sticks in order to load open the needed .wcs file? If this is possible then how can I do it?
I am trying to write a simple standalone windows forms project that basically contains various buttons which run external application setup files. The problem is I want to be able to run it from a USB stick. I have created a folder inside the project with all the files I need to call in it. I am using Process.start but the paths are obviously going to be wrong when the project is running from the stick as the drive letter may be different each time. How do I over come this.
View 1 RepliesI can zip files to a memory stick and transfer to another computer without any difficuly but how do you zip an entire VB project so that it can be put on another computer, unzipped and used in Visual Studio? The part that I seem to getting confused with are the folders bin, My Project and obj.
View 11 RepliesI am trying to come up with something that will let me obtain a unique ID of some sort for most types of storage devices. These can be USB thumb drives, SD cards, external hard drives, etc.
I have run across this:[code..]
But I can't find anything similar within .NET. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
My end goal is to be able to define specific hardware storage devices, and then have my application auto-detect them when they are plugged in.
I have tried to do some research on my own but I haven't found anything substantial. I was wondering if it is possible to pull low-level hardware information off of a HDD or stick of RAM using the latest visual basic.net. Mostly curious in pulling serial number and model number.
View 2 RepliesI am using a WPF richtextbox to create a syntax highlighter for code provided in a textbox. I want to have it automatically adjust the rich textbox as I am typing, using a thread timer I reset the contents of the rich textbox. I am trying to keep the cursor where it is suppose to be. I don't loose any text characters during the parse (except line breaks).
I don't know how to keep the caret position where the user has left it in the text. It defaults to the end of the document. I attempt to store the current caret position in the text and then set it to the document after I make my changes, however the error I receive is "Cannot set CaretPosition to be outside of RichTextBox." So I set the caret position to the bottom of the document.
