Save Form Position When Application Requires Elevation?
May 2, 2011
I have created a 2008 Visual Basic.NET application I'm using on Windows 7 that requires elevation. In myapplication I used the UAC manifest in VS 2008 to makere elevation. that works fine with a regular 2008 VB.NET form and will remember the form postion.On my application (really just a form) that requires elevation it will not save the position and always starts in the upper left of the screenDoes anyone know a way around this on an application created that requires elevation
Has anyone managed to get administration rights through the UAC without restarting the application or embedding a manifest file?
I'd like to write to some files that only administrators can modify, without relying to another elevated application. Is it possible to impersonate an administrator previously calling with some native API the UAC prompt?
I guess this is not possible and I'll have to use an external tool with elevated rights, but I'm asking just in case.
EDIT: I know there are some other similar questions around, but since they do not cover the topic of impersonation (as fas as I've seen), nor some possible native call to the UAC prompt I decided to give a new thread a go...
I designed an application in vb.net 2005 while using Administrator account on vista.After compiling the application it start requesting for elevation during startup.I will like to prevent this, because the customer is complaning
I have designed and published my small created app with WINDOWS FORMS using VB 2010 EXP on Windows 7. I can only install the app on the machine that I used to develop the app.I want to install the app on another computer but I cannot. I usually have error reports.
Example:Unable to install or run this application. This application requires Microsoft Common Language Runtime 4.0.3 to be installed on your computer.
what can I do to be able to install the app on a different computer which does not have .Net and does not have visual basic 2010 installed.
I have two forms: Main and Options.Main can be moved around the screen (like a normal window).When the user clicks a button, the Options form opens up and the Main form HIDES.How do I set the Options form to open in the exact place that the Main form was last on the screen (to give it the effect the MAIN form never went into hidding)I was thinking to set Option form's StartPosition to Main's current position, but I don't know the syntax for that or if it's even something you can do.
If I create an application in VB.NET using Visual Studio 2008, what version of the .NET Framework do other people need to have in order to run my program? Is it the same every time, or does it depend on what the application actually does?
I created a new project added a form and on the form added a button. The click event of the button contains only 5 lines of code. (thats all , apart from this nothing i did to the project)
I have been tasked with a project that requires me to scan documents into our application. I was hoping a few of you had experience with coding them for your project and could point me in the right direction.
Here are my questions:
1. Do I have to choose a specific scanner such as Visioneer to code for or can I do I code for twain and assume all scanners that are twain drivers can run my software?
2. Should I write the code in VS2008 to obtain the scan or should I be using the software it comes with? I've found a few bits of code that seem to work but I'm not if I'll just be rewritting something I don't need to.I'm not looking for my work to be done for me, just a push in the right direction.
I have an application that creates files at certain directories, deploys them and then removes them when neccessary. Under Windows Vista and 7, access for my program to carry out such commands are denied because UAC is blocking it.Now i am NOT using Visual Studio, i am using SharpDevelop and my project is a Windows Form. How can i prompt the user with the UAC dialogue so my application can acquire UAC elevation and carry out its tasks?I would also like to point out that everything works perfectly when UAC is either turned off or the user runs my program with Administrator Rights.
Does anyone know how can I create a function to save the forms position / location and load the previus forms position / location when next time the app is started.
So say I have a listbox, and a treeview. I select(using multiselectextended) a bunch of items in the listbox, I then press a button and it sends those selected items to a teeview node and removed them from the listbox... I then modify the items, add more items, etc..after I'm done modifying them, how could I send the items from the treeview back to theyre original position in the listbox?
I am creating an application which requires user to enter some data using popup. There will be text boxes and drop down list which will be filled by the user. Once the user fills the required information and submits it using a button, the popup will dissapear. Can anyone direct me how to use Popup control to contain textbox, drop down list and buttons.
Just got this message today on user machines when pushing out an update to a ClickOnce VB.NET application.No new references have been added, just some bug fixes.
System Update Required Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly Microsoft.Vbe.Interop Version 14.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first.Note that this is only happening in XP machines, not Win 7.
As some of you may know, I'm trying to develop a client/server application that requires sending files and text. Text is not a problem, this works fine, and for some of the part, sending files works, but they get slightly mangled in the process. For example, I used a 4x1 BMP that was alternately coloured red and white and tried sending it across. The output was the correct image dimensions, but the colours were wrong. It was more like a very dark red and very dark grey. I inspected the files with notepad, and the header was the same, but the data was different.
I did some research and apparently need to use a BinaryReader and BinaryWriter as opposed to reading the data as a string (like I was when it was being mangled) but now the data is all wrong, even filesize is different.The code below is a simple example of code for reading an image and then writing it again elsewhere using Binary Read/Write.
I have an ActiveX EXE that is compiled with VB6, unfortunately because it exposes an ActiveX interface it refuses to run unless i embedd a manifest file into it requesting elevation priviliges of administrator.This in turn has the side effect of VISTA prompting the user to logon as administrator each time they run the application.The admin on site has already refused to disable UAC.Is there any way for either our application or the administrator to auto-elevate the program on the domain?
My work is, I have a DEM file and header file of it.Now, I want to display the elevation value from the DEM file of the given Longitude and Latitude.And, I worked on it before,Where I could get the elevation value with the resolution matrix of 6000x4800 and I can able to read the elevation value.But, now I want to modify in such a way that I should read the elevation values from the DEM file with the resolution matrix of 11x11.So, kindly guide me in getting the elevation value with resolution of 11x11 matrix.The code I have used before to display the elevation value with resolution of 6000x4800 are:
I need to display or get the elevation value of a given latitude and longitude from the DEM file in 11x11 matrix array.Actually I have a DEM file and corresponding HDR file of it.And, the DEM file is 6000x4800 Matrix with 57600000 data's.Now, I worked with some codes where I can able to get the elevation of a Given latitude and longitude.But, When I Zoom IN or OUT,the Latitude and Longitude values changes so,when I pass the changed latitude and Longitude value,I could not able to get the elevation value.The reason is,
In the 6000x4800 matrix the Resolution of the X and Y is large,so when we Zoom IN or OUT the resolution changes and could not display the elevation value.But, where as if we get the elevation values in 11x11 matrix array,since it has 121 data's only, the resolution value will be small and even when we Zoom IN or OUT and pass the changed Latitude and Longitude, we could able to get the elevation.[code]....
Without using TopIndex, EnsureVisible, etc., is there a way to simply save the current scroll position of a listivew as a point, then reset the scroll position to that point after reolading the listview?
My code requires the webbrowser to be up so I can sendkeys something onto a website form. For some reason, changing the attribute doesn't work with this website. When I'm doing other task, such as web browsing or something else, the following code works occassionally.
AppActivate("xyz") WebBrowser1.Focus()
Is it possible to sendkeys to a website form in the background? This would be the ideal solution. What other command do I need to consistently pull up my application into the foreground?
well i successfully docked a perpixel alpha form with the main form(form1). but the perpixel alpha form always appears at the top left corner of the screen and when i move the main form the form(perpixel alpha form) inside it dosen't move it stays at the top left corner. ALWAYS. to dock the perpixel alpha form i used
how can I make start my external application "DXSETUP.exe" at center screen position using this code?

I am trying to reposition and resize an application I have launched. The hwnd is extracted from the process that is returned from the application start. The call to the Windows API MoveWindow() call moves the window to the top of my screen and collapses it to the height of the title bar.
The x position appears to be correct and the width appears to be correct, but the y position and the height are not correct. I may have the wrong signature (but I don't think so) or there is something I don't understand about the call.[code...]
