Stop Windows Special Key?
Jul 21, 2010
I have a packing program which monitors putting barcoded items into a box, it works fine but if the user accidentally hits the windows start key (next to left ctrl), the windows start bar appears and the vb app loses focus, and no longer registers scans. Sometimes the user does not notice and will carry on scanning . . . .
how to force this form to be on top and maybe disable the windows special key ??
(I have made the form modal, but it is only modal within the vb app - the user can still press the windows special key)

Users can easily rename special folders like Computer, Network etc. to whatever they like. Also if the computer is using a different locale, the name of those folders will also be different.I want to get the current names of all special folders like Computer, Recycle Bin, Network etc. in my app. Is there a way to do this? A specific API? A registry value?For eg, user renames My Computer to Super Computer. My app should show that My Computer's name is Super Computer.

This is part of this thread:

This is the reason that the user gave: I have Windows 7, and if I don't keep continuously using my computer, it goes to sleep. Now I have to restart my computer, put in the password and start again.

I'm creating a program to stop a particular windows service.This windows service was also written by me.The service will watch a folder and cut and paste the file to another location.The service was running OK.And I have another (TESTING) console application which will try to stop this service only. (I'm doing testing!)However, the app failed to stop the service.
Here is the code i use to stop the service.
VB.Net
' AutoMover is my windows service name.Dim controller As New ServiceController("AutoMover")controller.Stop()controller.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped)controller.Start()
The debug line stop at WaitForStatus because the service didn't stop.Here is the Stop function from my windows service
VB.Net
Protected Overrides Sub OnStop() GC.Collect()End Sub
After a few seconds (may be 1 minutes or 2), there is an error message box pop up from window and said the following error msg.' Auto Move is my service Display Name.Could not stop the Auto Move service on Local Computer.Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.If I click Stop from Services.msc, it stop successfully. Strange!!

I'm trying to make buttons that will open each of the "special folders" in Windows Vista. Here's an example:
Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
Process.Start("explorer.exe", Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments))
End Sub
As you can see in the above code, the button will open the Documents folder. My problem is the only folders this method can open are the documents, pictures and music folders, while I also want to open these folders below:
Downloads
Videos
User folder (aka the folder that has the user name on it)
Computer (aka My Computer in XP)
how to do that?

I'm making... well, it's sort of like a game in VB.net (using VS2008, if it matters). Being sort of like a game, it's dependent on timing, but it also has a large area (have to scroll the window on pretty much any resolution).The problem I'm having is that whenever I scroll the window (or move any of the smaller, additional windows) the program pauses what it's doing, and doesn't start again until I stop scrolling (or moving windows, or whatever).So is there any way to stop it pausing when you scroll or move windows?

I migrated some applications from Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2010. I develope using VB.NET in VISUAL STUDIO 2010 on a Windows 7 PC (32 bit). The applications writed in VB.NET - VS2005 run correctly in PC having XP, VISTA, WINDOWS 7 and Windows Server 2008. After the migration, the exe of these applications work correctly in PC having XP, Vista, Windows 7 but work stop immediatly on Windows Server 2008. The error returned is 'System.InvalidOperationException'. Seems that the application stop when attempt to evaluate the first global variable that meets. If i change the framework from 2.0 to 3.5, things don't change.

I am developing a vb.net media application using Windows Media Player which is working fairly well. However, I am having problems where the Function key handler will stop working after doing anything on the media control panel, i.e. mute, move the slider etc. So long as I don't touch the panel everything continues to work. I'm using the function keys to pull up menus for selecting other media and if I do anything with the control panel I can no longer display the menus.

We just spent 300 man-hours fixing a buggy application in the field. It all came down to calling Application.DoEvents (re-entrancy problem).This was not caught in design reviews, code reviews.The code was inserted two years ago with the first version; the application was always "flaky" but recent changes exposed the re-entrancy problems to a greater degree. This incident is the second time in our organization that Application.DoEvents caused failures and multi-man hours of debugging.It was discovered in this case by simply noticing the call,buried way down in a complex event handler for an asynchronous task.What do you suggest to prevent this issue from happening again:
Add checkin gates to source control?
Developer training?
Code Analysis rules (why is this not already a built-in rule?)
How to I enforce a coding practice?

Alright, so I'm still working on the slot machine. I have three timers all independently going for my three "wheels" of the slot machine.
My issue, is that I'm trying to make a Stop button to stop each timer one at a time, and I'm not understanding why this code isn't working. The logic completely makes sense, and the first "wheel" stops when I click the button, however, it doesnt appear to stop the other two timers.

I created a form and have the variable inputs for 4 motor run statements. Then with a start button the script starts and it is surrounded by a for next statement to loop 10 times. It works fine but if i need to stop the execution of the script with a stop button. I put the stop in a new section but of course does not work to do a motor stop. It just causes the exe to not respond till the loop is complete. Just need to be able to stop the Run1_Click button section.
Edit:I do not mind if it finishes the 4 motor run commands and then stops execution of the loop. So need to figure out a way to trigger a stop from a button on the form to stop the cycle. For the future the loop will be a variable integer input so 10 will not be the standard.
Edit::Does a ' Do ' statement sound like the thing to use? If so how and where would I place that? Have a Stop button on the form and it would stop after the 4th motor run command.

I have a START and STOP button and when the user clicks "start" the program does a whole bunch of calculations and all. However, I noticed that when I was testing the program I clicked STOP the program continues to execute stuff.
My START code is basically a while loop that iteratively does some calculations.
So I just put a boolean variable as the while condition and when user clicks stop its set to false and when user clicks start its set to true. However, when I click stop, the condition is set to false yes but it still executes all the code until the condition is re-evaluated right...so my question is how can I get out of the while loop when user instantly clicks "stop"?
