Obtaining A Bitmap Of Windows 7 Desktop

Mar 21, 2011

The following VB 2010 code runs, but returns only a black bitmap. I suspect the problem lies with the call to GetCurrentObject but I haven't been able to find good documentation on the arguments for it.[code]

Converting OpenNetCF GetSignatureEx To Bitmap On Desktop?

May 1, 2009

I have a SQLite database which is running on a handheld which is capturing signatures using OpenNetCF's Smart Device Framework 2.1 running under Windows Mobile 6.1. The signatures are captured from the Signature control using the GetSignatureEx method and stored in the database.

What I want to do now is reconstitute the signatures on the desktop, but the desktop does not have a similar control. I looked at the data and it looks like a bunch of vectors, which explains why the data is so compact.

how I can convert the data into a bitmap on the desktop using VB.NET.

Change Image In Windows Forms App. System.Drawing.Bitmap In A PictureBox

Jul 19, 2010

I have a VB.NET Windows Forms app with a logo image on the form as a System.Drawing.Bitmap inside a PictureBox.I used the Visual Studio Designer to add the logo .bmp image so I don't currently have any VB code doing anything with it.I'd like to make the current logo a clickable object/button so when I click on it a file browser dialog opens and I can select a new image to replace the current image.The current image is a local resource and is set in a PictureBox as a System.Drawing.Bitmap.How would I replace that System.Drawing.Bitmap with a file selected from the file browser dialog?

Controlling Windows Remote Desktop?

Mar 8, 2010

I am trying to overcome a problem I am having with remote desktop.Basically I have 2 machines running in different locations. I use remote desktop to access one of them (the "Remote Machine") from the other.("My PC")The "Remote Machine" is performing automated tasks that require the screen to be active, not the user login screen.

When I do so the Remote Machine logs off and presents the normal windows login screen.When I am finished reviewing the remote machine I log off and then I need to log back into the "remote" machine. It has no monitior but I can log in by pressing the enter key which sends a keypress to log into the user account( there is only one). In fact I do this the other way around. I press the enter key on the "Remote Machine" and this logs the user back in - terminating the remote session on "MyPC".

The problem is I have to physically go to the Remote Machine to press this enter key.This is a hassle - One solution is to remotely re-boot the remote pc but the lead time involved is too great.I am unable to fix this problem by tweaking setting or registry hacks so I guess the solution must be to cause the remote user to log back in programatically.I am an experienced VB user but I have never worked outside the windows environment. Ideally I would like to programmtically send a keystroke "{enter}" to the login screen but this doesn't work.

MDI Container That Acts Like Windows Desktop?

Oct 23, 2011

I'm creating a program that requires an MDI Parent Container to keep its Children inside of the client area. If you didnt understand id like a MDI to have all the forms it creates to stay inside of the actual MDI.

I've said like the windows desktop becuase thats what the windows desktop is. It's basically a realy advanced MDI container.If you know any methods on how to do this as this may be used a lot by future programmers and it would be great to just link this to the same type of question.

Placing A Form Above Desktop, But Below All Other Windows?

Aug 26, 2009

I'm new at the forums but not to .net development. I'm trying to make an application, which stays above the Dektop level but ALWAYS below any opened window. This application cannot be minimized, it has to be visible as a desktop background (just for getting you the main idea). As I was reading, I found that the way to make the form not to minimize is by using the WndProc function, and intercepting the Minimize message. My question is.. which of all the available messages is the correct for this case?.

P.D.3 (And last one I hope): See, the main reason of this application, is to make some kind of an "Active Desktop" function, which is not supported by Windows XP 64-bit. As XP64 doens't come with Active Desktop to use Web Pages as Desktop backgrounds, my idea is to make an application which loads certain web page and put's it on the desktop background.

WIndows 7 Desktop Refresh And Picture Screensaver?

Nov 9, 2011

I am using VB.net in VS2008.I wrote a screensaver that cycles through pictures. When the screensaver exits it sets the desktop background to the last picture loaded using API call SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, sFilePath, SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE Or SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE).The desktop wallpaper refreshes for WinXP and Vista but not Win7.In Win7, if I run the screensaver as an EXE then the desktop background changes when the program ends. If I run it as a screensaver I need click on the desktop and press F5 before the desktop shows the new desktop background (or click and drag with the mouse to show pieces of the new desktop background).I have tried to add delays and even force a refresh by using SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED, SHCNF_IDLIST, Nothing, Nothing) but with no success.

Capture Video Of The Windows Desktop And Save It As A AVI File?

Feb 11, 2009

Does anyone know how to capture (Record) the Windows desktop and save it as a '.avi' or '.mpg' file. This functionality can be done using screen capture / presentation programs like SnagIT:[URL]..I have found many examples showing how to capture from a webcam using the 'avicap32.dll' DLL file but these dont help with this problem.

If you are asking why i dont just use SnagIT its because the interface is overly complex and building my own version would allow me to intergrate it into my existing programs.
