Set Video As Desktop Background?
Aug 29, 2010
I have enabled windows dreamscene on my windows 7 x64 system and would can right click on a media file and click "set as desktop background".
My question is: how can i/is it possible, to do this programmatically? I know how to handle the images files and set them as the background but I just cant get the damn video files such as .wmv!
I am using visual studio 2010 and am coding in visual basic.
PS: I had to install a .dll file for the dreamscene to work and have tried adding references to it but with no luck.

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.

Me again. I also have a png image and a web cam video in my form. I have transparent parts on the png image that show through to the form background colour.
How do I set it so it shows the video in the background, when I put the png image over the top of the video?
At the moment its still shows straight through to the back of the form?

I would like to have my application basically appear as if it was part of the desktop background, I've removed the form border etc and made the background colour of the form the same as our standard company background so it all blends in nicely. I have also made it so the app does not appear in the toolbar and it is set to launch on startup so it appears as soon as the user logs in - so all works fine and looks fine because any new apps that the user opens will open on top of my app. The only problem is that if they press the Show Desktop button (or use Windows Key + D) to minimize all apps, mine gets minimized as well and disappears. Its easy enough to get the user to make it appear again as it has a system tray icon that they can interact with, but it would be better if it just didn't vanish when they did this.Now I know the best thing for this on Windows 7 would be a Gadget but the problem is that Gadget's annoyingly have to be HTML/javascript and a) I'm not great with web coding and b) I don't think it is even possible to do what my app does from a HTML/javascript page... oh and c) I can't find any way to deploy gadgets in a business network (there is no way we are installing it manually on all 300 of our PCs), so the gadget idea is not looking very promising.I'm wondering if there is some window message I can capture and ignore in the WndProc event handler

I'm using this code to set a picture as the desktop background:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
SetDesktopWallpaper("C:\image.jpg")
End Sub
Private Shared Sub SetDesktopWallpaper(ByVal fileName As String)
[Code] .....
It works well, except the wallpaper is always centered. How can I have the ability to choose Fill, tile or center with separate buttons?

I have a vb.net project which i have inserted pictures and video. I inserted a video clip using the Windows Media Player control and it does work. The issue i have is that i can't move the program to another computer because the pathname for the video will be wrong. I know i could change the pathname when i move it but this is not practical because i need to present this program. Does anybody know how to make the video accessible no matter what location the program is at?

I am monitoring 12 video feeds from video cameras. Now I have more than 12 cameras, I have 134. But I will only monitor 12 cameras at a time. By Monitoring I mean, I have 12 small video screens on the form that I can see the video. The way I know which cameras are active, so I can monitor them is by a boolean value in a sql database. I run a Store Procedure in my program, and spit out the results in a XML file. I then read the XML file in a loop. This XML file will have a list of the camera names I need to monitor.
So that is for 12 video feeds. Now, I want to have a NEXT or FORWARD button on my monitor form. So when I click this it will give me the next group of cameras, 13 to 24. Now if I only have15 cameras that are active, that means the first group is 1 to 12, then the second group is 13 to 15 cameras. So I will only have 3 to monitor on the second grouping. One thought I had was to have another field in my table to mark as already as an active monitor, so when I run the SP, i will not select that row. But I need to select 12 at a time. Or I can make a number of xml files, one xml file for each grouping of 12, but I need to figure out how I can select the next group without re-selecting the first group. I have no code at the moment, I'm on my non-programming computer.

Some of u already know I'm making a 'virtual desktop'- thing.Only one problem. When switching to a new desktop it starts a new instance of my app in that desktop (works) and on the form load event it says process.start("explorer.exe") <- here is the problem. It only shows a window not the actually bar.Also this may be important it shows the window, but when I navigate to explorer.exe 'C:Windowsexplorer.exe' and open it there. The explorer bar does show up.

I'm working on one of my applications and I'm trying to find a way to use the "Go To Desktop" function that goes directly to the desktop without minimizing any window (This can be achieved by clicking on the Win + D buttons or on the desktop icon in the quick launch toolbar), but how can I activate it using vb? I thought about sending keys but I guess there is more offical ways to do it.

I am using query from a SQLite database as the AutocompleteCustomSource for a ComboBox. Also, I want to load data in separate thread. My LoadData method works fine when called directly, but it fails when it is called from the BackgroundWorker thread. When it is called from the background thread, it throws a Specified cast is not valid exception on the csearch.AutoCompleteCustomSource.Add(hh("Taj")) line. Below is my code:
Sub LoadData()
Dim connetionString As String

what I am trying to accomplish worked with the code in the last thread I posted a while back. I still am using this code, however, I changed the window size to work better and gave it a nicer background for the title screen of my project. Now what I am working on at the moment is making a settings form that has 2 labels. One for "Default" Layout and one for "Plain" layout. When default is at start, the default label is disabled,and when plain layout is clicked, the button is disabled and default button is enabled.Basically, this is a toggle switch for default or plain where if one is enabled, the option for it is disabled and the other is enabled.My problem is that when I switch from Plain back to default, the background Image will not switch back from the plain background color of "control"Here is my code:
Public Class Settings
Private Sub LinkLabel1_LinkClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs) Handles LinkLabel1.LinkClicked
