View 4 RepliesSwitch Form Between Full Screen No Taskbar And Sizable With Taskbar?
Mar 29, 2011I have a form in an application I'm working on that normally displays full screen without a taskbar but provide the option to switch to a minimizable window with a taskbar. When I switch from full screen without taskbar to minimizable window with taskbar everything is ok. When I try to switch back to full screen the border disappears but the taskbar is still there and the form is not aligned properly.The text at the top is cut off somewhat and there's a small margin at the right edge that shouldn't be there.I put this code in a keydown event for the form.
If Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None Then
Me.ControlBox = True
Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.Sizable[code]....
How do I get the taskbar to disappear and the form to display properly when I return to the full screen mode?
.net - Disable And Enable Screen Saver In Windows 7?
Jan 18, 2010I have an application than disables the screen saver temporarily in order to run a slide show. I use this to turn it on or off:
i = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE, active, Nothing, SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE)
This works fine in XP. In Windows 7, it disables the screen saver properly. However, when it is enabled again, at the normal time for the screen saver to come on, the system asks for a password instead of showing the screen saver.From this time on until the screen saver settings are adjusted in the control panel, the password screen is displayed in place of the screen saver.Is there something else I should be doing for Windows 7? I understand that SPI_GETSCREENSAVEACTIVE is not supported in Windows 7, but SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE is supposed to be.

View 1 RepliesProgram Hangs After Leaving Screen Saver Or Locking Computer?
Nov 15, 2011Our program works fine, until someone locks the computer or the screen-saver pops up (but not ctrl+alt+delete). Once the computer is unlocked/the screen saver is closed, the application stops drawing everything except the title bar, and stops responding to input - it displays a mostly-white window which can't be moved or closed.(Example of application freezing - the mountains are from my desktop background)If we let it sit for about 5~10 minutes, it comes back to life, and doesn't hang again (even after locking the computer/screen saver popup) until the application is restarted.

View 4 RepliesScreen Blanks After 1 Min Of Processing (of Excel File) / Refresh Or Freeze Screen To Avoid Blank Screen?
Jun 29, 2011BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?
View 11 RepliesForms :: OpenFileDialog Appears And Hide Splash Screen?
Mar 30, 2010I have an application with a main form, on loading the main form asks the user to select a file to work with. I have now been asked to add a splashscreen to the project so did the following:
* Right clicked in solution explorer and added the splashscreen
* Went into project properties and added the splashscreen to the dropdown for splashscreen and then clicked "View Application Events"
Within here I have added the following
Protected Overrides Function oninitialize(ByVal commandlineargs As System.Collections.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String)) As Boolean
Me.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 5000
Return MyBase.OnInitiallize(commandlineargs)
End Function
Now when I run the application the splash screen shows but within, a second the openfiledialog has appeared and hides the splash screen.
.net - Determine Which Screen The Taskbar Is On?

View 2 RepliesFigure Out The Taskbar Height Without Using Screen.WorkingArea?
Sep 7, 2011I've got a form that's supposed to position itself at the far right edge of the screen, and stretch in height to fill the whole heigth of the working area.Nothing too strange about that, and so I wrote a solution using Screen.WorkingArea.Height, which worked fine as long as I ran locally. The snag is that in production the form is run in a Citrix environment, and it seems to completely ignore the taskbar height. In Citrix Screen.WorkingArea.Height returns the exact same value as Screen.Bounds.Height - thus stretching itself under the taskbar.My idea is to use Screen.Bounds.Height (as that seems to be returned correctly) and subtract the taskbar height on my own. Only problem is the only examples I can find on how to do this involve Screen.Bounds.Height - Screen.WorkingArea.Height.

View 2 RepliesHow To Create An On-screen Shape (circle) That Has A Fill Color, Which Will Blink Every X Seconds
Jun 8, 2011I need to create an on-screen shape (circle) that has a fill color, which will blink every X seconds (go from fill color, to white, back to fill color). This is trivial to do...BUT... i want to do it in my own class, so that I can instantiate it numerous times passing it unique coordinates for each instantiation.
How do I do it? Can a class have its own "timer control" in it independent from the form? How would I draw a shape from a class?
.net - Taking Photo Of Screen - Take A Picture Of The Entire Screen, Not Just The Focused Window?
Jul 6, 2011Currently I have the following VB.NET code to make a screenshot of my desktop, but it only takes a picture of the active screen:

Now, I need to be able to take a picture of the entire screen, not just the focused window.
