View 4 RepliesI have an application that while running (it doesn't have to have focus, it can be minimized or another window can have focus) can listen and respond to global hot keys pressed. For instance I have the key combo Ctrl+Shift+0. When this hot key is pressed my app can recognize this and then I can do something.
This "something" that I want to do is:
1. Know what window is currently active and has focus when the hot key was pressed. And...
2. Change the size of said window
I can currently identify what window has focus by the following (the code block is inside the function that fires when the hot key is pressed):
Code:
Private Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32.dll" () As IntPtr
Private Declare Function GetWindowThreadProcessId Lib "user32.dll" (ByValhwnd As IntPtr, ByRef lpdwProcessID As Integer) As Integer
[Code]....
I can get the handle to the active window and the process that owns that window.
Having this information, how can I get access to the window itself? Furthermore, get access to it's properties so I can change the size of this thing? I'm not sure If this is the right information to be gathering for what I'm trying to accomplish but it seems that I'm close.
if you guys have used office 2003 or better( i am sure all) then you would have seen that when the help window open it causes the active windows say of MS WORD to change accordingly so that this help windows fits with it along the right side and this functionality i want to implement in my VB windows application and have no idea how to do it Also i have seen this feature in GOOGLE DESKTOP GADGETS...
i want to implement that when my application opens which ever is the active window( of any application) snaps to the left and allows my application to fir in the right hand side i am developing my application in VS 2005 using Visual Basic.
How can I resize a window? I've done it by using GetProcessName and MoveWindow, but with MoveWindow it doesn't work on different operating systems/computers. what would be an alternative?
View 3 RepliesHow would I re-size the window @ a point relative to its parent location and size. I am using code from Make an unowned window's parent to my form, to be able to set a windows parent to panel1.
Dim proc As Process
' Start the process
proc = Process.Start("C:UsersDmitryAppDataRoamingSpotifyspotify.exe")
proc.WaitForInputIdle()
Dim tmp_hWnd As IntPtr
[Code] .....
This works on most windows except for ones that are customized. Maximizing the window will maximize the window to bounds of the actual screen bounds instead of the panel1 bounds. Code works fine with normal windows but not with this one. (Spotify Window.)

I am writing a program that is navigated manly by using tabs, the tab panels (If that is what they are called) hold the vast majority of the GUI, only leaving space for the menue bar and a few rarely used window forms. So my question is this, what do I need to do/set to make the tab control (Or tab Panels) re-size with the window it is in when the user re-sizes the window?
View 5 RepliesI have a form which has no window borders, but I still want to be able to resize the window? How might i achieve this? Even just a few options, like 'small' 'medium' and 'large' size would be fine if it cant be normally resized.
View 5 RepliesIs there any way in c# or VB to automatically move the controls in a panel when the window is resized. I do not want the Anchor property, which only resizes the control. THe use is that controls are added at runtime to the form, and when the locations/values are loaded on a computer with a larger monitor, they are in the incorrect positions.
View 8 RepliesI came across an issue which I see has been discussed a few times, but there doesn't seem to be a defintive answer to the question.How can the child windows in Silverlight 4 be dynamically sized to fit within the size of the current browser window?The problem is on smaller displays where the browser window may be smaller than what the child window was originally developed for.What occurs is the OK and Cancel buttons are off the screen and cannot be scrolled to via the browser.You can duplicate this problem by simply shrinking the height of a browser window manually while the child window is displayed.The controls will disappear and there is no way to get to them.This is pretty much simulates what users with smaller monitors see.So the question is how can you set up a child window to dynamically size itself so it users can still interact with it?
View 2 Repliesok when my program is running from scratch I have a piece of code that just says if the size is this.. then make this.. else make this.. so it just makes is small and big..after you close it.. it hides itself in the sys tray... if you bring back out of the system tray.. and click the button to make small or big.. does nothing.. it come out of the sys tray as the large size.. and wont go small again..
does something on the form get set when you hide it ? that needs to be unset to let it resize it ?

View 2 RepliesI'm making a photo editor and the size of the image depends on the size of the window, like the Zoom mode in the BackgroundImageLayout property of a form.

View 4 RepliesI have been working on a program to hide windows for an active process. I found some examples on the internet explaining how to do this. The problem, however, is that after I hide the windows I cannot get them back. The process still shows up in task manager but i cannot restore the window..

what I am trying to do its to automate a user interraction by code.First I have a button named "start" once pushed I navigate with webbrowser to download a file. What I try to do it is to find the window "File download" by his title name, I allready made a seperate thread to loop into to list of process until it found the window "File download"
Where I need help, it is with the process list. I try that code below but I don't see the process "File download" in the list.and once I found it I would like to use sendMessage() api to simulate the click of save.I would like to find another window after to catch the window "save as" and click save and if the window that ask for overwriting appear I would like to find it too and click yes.
Why I use webbrowser instead of httpwebrequest it is because the web site required to login, i try using cookie, etc. No success so I decided to use webbrowser, I navigate first into the login page, I login manually and once it is done I can click the button to start downloading. I want to make an automatic download loop, I have lot of files to download on that site, sometimes .doc and other times it is .pdf
I didn't found a way yet how to force webbrowser to ask for downloading .pdf instead of opening it in acrobat, if someone can help me for that point too

I am making a key presser for a game and I have it to just spam the keys, but I want it to send the keys to a certain process or window. Here is what I have:
Private Sub Timer8_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer8.Tick
SendKeys.Send(1)
SendKeys.Send(2)
SendKeys.Send(3)
SendKeys.Send(4)
SendKeys.Send(5)
SendKeys.Send(6)
SendKeys.Send(7)

That's an example of 1 timer. Is there any way to make it just send the keys to a process I am kinda new to this.

I have 2 desktop programms..I will call them P1 and P2.So, P1 launches P2 as a process. However, at some point I want to be able to show a window in P2. My problem was that this window, when called, was showing correctly placed, in the middle of the screen, but in the back of P1.So, in order to show it as the top most window, above all others applications running on my computer, I used the windows API:
Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1
Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2
Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1[code]...
Now the window shows on top of all other, but it is placed in the top left corner of the screen, resized to much small dimentions, that I cannot even see the controls on it.
