Running App In Secondary Monitor By Default
Jul 8, 2010
I have a dual monitor setup. I want my app to run in the secondary monitor by default (through settings in my app). I have been browsing the net for a solution and I found a solution which is setting the Form.Bounds to the Bounds of the secondary monitor. My problem is that if I set the bounds of my newly created form, when it gets displayed, it doesn't show in the secondary monitor.
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){
Form1 frm = new Form1();
frm.SetBounds(-1280, 112, frm.Bounds.Width, frm.Bounds.Height);
MessageBox.Show(string.Format("frm.Bounds [{0},{1}]",frm.Bounds.Left,frm.Bounds.Top));
//frm.Bounds = Screen.AllScreens[1].Bounds;
//frm.Location = Screen.AllScreens[1].Bounds.Location;
frm.Show();
MessageBox.Show(string.Format("frm.Bounds [{0},{1}]", frm.Bounds.Left, frm.Bounds.Top));}
In the code above, I first set the bounds, I can see from the message box the settings I assigned. After form gets displayed, I checked the bounds again, it has changed to it's default. How do I show then a newly created form to a specific Bounds?

I've developed an application in VS2008. Whenever I dragged the application from the primary monitor to the secondary monitor, the mouse cursor changes from the default one to resize when hover over windows title bar. How do I fixed it? I want it to remain as the default one.

Firstly im aware that the code below will auto run the default browser.
Code:
But i need to find a way of finding out what the default browser is. Is there a registry setting that displays this? also whats the best way to monitor for a process start or exit?
I was thinking about making a listview that updates every second checking for new entrys or entrys that have gone. But is this the best way if i only need to monitor 1 or 2 proceses?
I did write(and worked before)
Code:
But thats not working now.

Can I monitor the registry for changes similar to how sysinternals process monitor does it in VB? I have checked many different articles and C# samples but not come any closer to getting an answer, I would like to know if there an easier way (a VB sample perhaps)that you folks can share. Ultimately I'd like to be able monitor other things too like file system, processes etc but wonder most about how the registry can be done in VB...Would using system.management be a start? Or WMI? if so is there a nice VB sample..

I have the following windows service file:
Imports System.ServiceProcess
Imports System.IO
Public Class fswService
[Code].....
2 problems: first, intellisense error saying: 'fswService' is a type and cannot be used as an expression. second, I can not figure out a way to pass on to the service the path of the folder to watch (which is stored at My.Settings.userPath).

I've got an app working semi-background stuff in the GUI thread. Another thread won't work and a timer won't work. But I want the app to be responsive while I'm going my 'background' work.I cound use application.doevents - but that gives me 3 bad choices:
-loop with no sleeps - end peg an entire CPU (my task waits on stuff besides calcs & I/O so this matters)
-loop with a sleep - then the app slows down
-Try to make a 'smart sleep' loop that speeds up when lots of messages happen (check for messages in messagefilter function)
[code]why I can't use application.run, or threads, what I want to do is handled the OnUnhandledException event, then leave my app open for a while while some winforms stuff closes it down gracefully and tells my watchdog program to restart the app. after allowing the user to finish a critical process, too. Yes, I know people thing that a program getting OnUnhandledException deserves to die (obviously MS), there are 'dangerous' things that could happen; none of them are as dangerous, however, as the wrath of my users. Looking for vb.net sourcecode exact translations of the above two functions.

I am currently working with a program where the user is prompted to click certain points on a picture within the picturebox on my form. The issue is that some of the points need to be pretty precise and i want to give them controls to slide the points once they have clicked them. The method for sliding is fairly simple but i want to be able to graphically show it in a secondary picturebox.

I am trying to write a VB .NET program that runs a Perl script and reads and uses the standard output. I'd like to be able to handle each line separately as it is printed, and update my program display accordingly. Here's some code I have "written" (read: "mostly copied off the internet"):
Private WithEvents pscript As Process
Private Sub myProgram_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
pscript = New Process()
[Code]....
This works with one problem: the program waits until the test script has run to completion, and then fires several OutputDataReceived events one after the other. This means that when I make it use the real script, it's likely to do nothing for as much as several hours, and then have to deal with, like, 5,000 events at once, despite the fact that stuff was being printed at fairly regular intervals throughout that time.
Is there any way I can make it deal with each line of text when it is written, instead of all of it at once at the end?

used the WMI ChangeZoneType DNS command in C#VB.net before. I get an incorrect parameter exception when i try and invoke the changezonetype command. I get the dns zone that i want to change from the dns server (via query), set the zonetype to the appropriate uint value but am then getting the exception. I am trying to change the zone from secondary to primary and according to MSDN all the other values are optional (and as far as i am aware are needed when you want to change from primary to secondary) so i have not included them.
Below is the code that i am using....
For Each DNSZone As ManagementObject In mgrZones
mngrZones = DNSZone.GetMethodParameters("ChangeZoneType")
mngrZones("ZoneType") = System.Convert.ToUInt32(zoneType)

I have been working on a project of mine that will streamline some issues at the office. (Note: There is not much in way of documentation or comments as I just started on this)
This is what I have so far and I am getting this error:
"System.ObjectDisposedException was unhandled"
I can edit the database with the second form initally, but it pops up an error after I return to Form1 and then attempt to enter into the 2nd form any subsequent time after the first initial load.
Here is my code:
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On

I have two forms for my application, that are visible in the Windows taskbar. When a modal dialog is popped up on the main form, the secondary form is locked. However, when the user clicks on the secondary form on the taskbar, it appears over the modal dialog box, and is basically frozen. Is there a way to ensure that the modal dialog box does not draw underneath the secondary form? The topmost property is no good, since this draws on top of everything, even stuff not related to the application.

i have a small wp7 application with just a main page. The main page has 4 buttons and calls the ConnectionSettingstask for wifi, bluetooth, airplanemode and cellular data setting. I have also managed to create secondary tiles for any of these buttons. The OnNavigateTo event handles the secondary tiles using a key passed from the tile [code]The problem ia that when the user uses the secondary tile to call a task, the application opens directly the connection settings page, but after that the back key, instead of opening the phone main menu, open the main page of my application

When I isolate the following code to create a chart, the result is normal. But when I call it from a control, duplicate legend and Y-axis scales and labels appear.
I did a line-by-line comparison and detected no code differences.
1) What is the likely culprit?
2) Is there a cleaner way to activate a graph?

is it possible to make one application send a task to another application and recieve the result from that secondary app?i made a text editor program and i added a scan feature and i made another app that has ocr capabilities.The scanner ability is in my text editor program, the ocr program doesnt scan you have to input an image into it and it will give text result a few seconds later.the prob is alot of times the ocr code uses sooo much memory and crashes when its incorporated with my text editor, but individually each application works fine and doesnt take too much memory. Memory wont be even an issue if the ocr program is standalone so that when it is done decoding image the application can be made to exit. now here is the question, how do i make my text editor send the image to the ocr program and how do i make my ocr program send the text back to my text editor? is it possible? i mean the only way i know off is creating temp files in a certain folder and having a timer on each program that keeps waiting for temp files. That just seems like pretty lame coding to me i was wondering if there's a better way?

I have a windows forms application with several 'child' forms. (It's not MDI, and I don't want it to be).Normally everything runs fine, but on occasion windows gets into a state where all of the 'child' forms on the application are invisible when they should be on top of the main application. The oddest part is if I move another application's window over my application (i.e. explorer or notepad) the child form becomes visible within the boundaries of the other application. It's like windows is drawing my main form over top of the rest of the forms in my application without regard the z order, or topmost flag, or anything. If I cover the main form with a notepad window, etc. It draws my 'child' forms properly. Rebooting the computer and restarting the application temporarily solves the problem.

I have a combobox which contains a sample of names selected from a table.Currently the default name displayed in the box is the 1st name found in the table. What I would like to do is display the name of the person who is doing the selection as the default. The name is stored in a public variable 'PubName' and I do not want the user to be able to type into the combobox themselves.Is this possible?

With threading, the WebBrowser control behaves abnormally.While other controls allow accessing properties and error out when trying to set it, the WebBrowser control behaves just the opposite. It allows to set the property and errors out when trying to access it.
Here's a small test:

Is it possible to set a project default for VB.NET winforms projects so that the default Modifier for controls added to winforms is Private (not Friend)?I know there's a "modifiers" property in the properties window so I can set it for each individual control however I would like to change the project so from now on myself and other developers have to specifically decide to change from friend to private. (Which I would strongly discourage them from doing).I believe there is no way of doing this, but on another forum a while ago someone mentioned it would be possible with an add-in (but didn't name the add-in or where to get it).
