Stopwatch And Monitors - Defining Program Parameters
Aug 13, 2011
If at all possible, how can my app detect the number, physical location, and size/resolution of monitors in use so as to define the program's parameters? Secondly, I have created a stopwatch variable ("Count"). I can't seem to get it to function properly unless using full seconds. In the following code, I have tried to use a fraction of a second (like .5) and using "count.elapsed.milliseconds = 500" and the program doesn't act like the code is even there...
Code:
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
If count.Elapsed.Seconds = 1 Then
Run()
End If
End Sub
I am looking to write a program that runs in the background that monitors the USB ports on a PC. If a specific device gets unplugged I want a message box to come up saying so. Is this possible. I am guessing I would need to query the usb devices for their ID and then write a simple If then statement, however I do not know how to get the IDs of the usb devices.
So my latest project focuses on sending txt commands over from my cell phone to my email, which gets read by a program, that carries out the specified command. My latest command i want to implement, is being able to define words, and have it send me a txt back with the definition. Now I know how to send texts, and all of that stuff, but I have found it hard to find anything on defining words. At first, i tried to read websites, and simple redirect a webpage to google definitions, but that led me nowhere.
I am wanting to create a simple program that monitors what programs are opening and if necessary close one or two. I would also like to know if it is possible to get the window title (using a simple function/sub) and check with a stored list of programs,
whether that particular program is allowed to be open and if so before the program can be opened a password dialog will appear asking the user to enter the defined password in order to continue opening the program. Is this possible? Also should the password entered not match up, the program/process will not be allowed to open and will be closed/cancelled.
some code or point to the part of the microsoft site that has information on getting window titles and how to close current programs open etc
I have created a security program that monitors the keystokeswebsitesprocesses... I want to FIRST ask if this is a legal question; for, my purpose in this program is security reasons (eg. following up on employees to make sure that they are doing what they are paid to do. They all know this is running, and have been warned not to go to sites and enter information they do not want reviewed).
Second, I want this program to be hidden so that techy persons cannot go into task manager and end the process, then go on to some porn site! How could I make this app hidden, or at the very least make it 'un-end-able' from the task manager?
I have a stopwatch in my program. I start the stopwatch with the start button I created. When I stop it it gives the results of the time in a label that I have named labelTime. I have a Calculate button I have created. I also have a label I have named calcResult. I want to click the Calculate button and divide the stopwatch result (labelTime) by 60. I want the results of this calculation to be displayed in the label calcResult. I keep getting errors saying labelTime is a string value. I believe I will need my calcResult to be a Decimal.
One the click of a button the stopwatch starts, then on the click of a second button the stopwatch stops then states either in a msgbox the time taken between the two button clicks.
we are suposed to create a program that we like with certain peramiters, I have done as much however I have an error and I can not find a solution anywhere. We are, before you ask, able to seek help on this matter. Here is what I have:
I am writing a program where the user has to log in before the program loads. Right now I have all the users and passwords hard coded into the program. Recently I have written a Oracle function that the username and password is sent to the DB and a yes or no is sent back after comparing the passwords. I am getting the correct response back and it will display in a label (I tried it to make sure the response is correct). The problem I am having is that the program after receiving the response doesn't recognize the response so I always get an incorrect password error.
Below is my code: empName = tbxUser.Text passWord = tbxPassword.Text dbConn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=!!!!; User Id=!!!!; Password=!!!!" [Code] .....
I would like to create a console program in VB.net that would allow parameters. What i would like to do is in the code below add parameters so the webpart page can be created from the Run menu. e.g. C:.......MyProgram.exe "Design" --This would then create the Design webpart page.
I tried looking at the internet but was not very successfull.
Module Main Public Sub Main(ByVal args As String()) Dim prj As String
Can I pass parameters back and forth between a Windows Service and .NET program? For ex: I want to pass a compressed/encrypted byte paramater to the Windows Service, who then decompress/decrypt it and return back the decompressed/decrypted bytes.
I need to insert a Flash movie in a Visual Basic 2008 express form and send parameters to the movie. The flash movie will plot points sent by VB in a graph.
I tried to insert the Shockwave Flash control in the form but cannot find it anywhere. So I inserted the webbrowser control, which I understand can be used to a similar purpose. But how would I send the values of X and Y (coordinates to plot in Flash) to the flash swf?
I'm writing a query to select all records that has any part of parameter. I have one table called Employees. Some people have name like this: John David Clark If the parameter is
[Code]....
I should be able to get result back as long as there's a match in the parameters. If I use Function Contains (q.FirstName & " " & q.LastName).Contains(employeeName), I will not get any result back if employeeName is "John Clark" Function Contains looks only for next words from left to right. It doesn't match a single word at a time. So that's why I used this in the Linq to SQL:
I am getting error [07002] the # binded parameters < the # of parameters makers, i checked both parameters were perfect even though i am getting this error here is my code
If a form is being displayed on the secondary monitor, is there a way to make sure that a MessageBox generated by that form will display back on the primary monitor? The form is being displayed over a projection system and some messages do not need to be seen by the audience, just the computer operator.
I have a dual-monitor setup. When I launch the main program, I need to make sure that it always launches in "Screen 1". I have a button within the program that launches another fullscreen window and I need this to always launch in the next available screen (read: not covering the main program window)I am using the System.Windows.Forms.Screen class to try to accomplish this and have have had about 80% success. I can successfully test for multiple monitors (which enables the button). When they click it, I can get it to always launch in the second screen. The problem I'm encountering while testing is the main program is launching in Screen 2, so the second window covers it.
Here's what I'd like to accomplish ultimately: I would like to always launch my program in Maximized stated (and disable resizing, minimizing/maximizing is ok, just not double-clicking titlebar to resize) in the primary monitor (where Taskbar is being displayed). Then, when the button within the program is pressed, it launches the new window in the NEXT available monitor in Maximized stated.
have a question. The scenario is this Main monitor (17 inch) is used for POS system.Will have at least 2 more monitors (50 inch tvs used for digital menu)I want the main pos program to be able to set what is written there (easy on a form) but have different forms to ALWAYS go onto one of the tvs (they would be plugged in via VGA).
I have read some examples but I havent seen anything with different size monitors.How can i ensure that the main program runs on the 17 inch screen while the 2 forms of the menu will display on tv1 and tv2 and the same tv each time?
What im trying to do, is have my program run full screen on the primary screen, and diable all other screens. I have it 'full screen' and constantly on top of everything with this
Dim b As Boolean = _ SetWindowPos( _ Me.Handle, _
[code]....
It is in a timer, so its always on top. how do i turn off, or disable all other monitors, besides the primary screen. (How do i check if they have other monitors, and if they do, how many, and disable them all, with exception to the primary screen.)
Basically I'm trying to change the both if one display(monitor) is active and either turn off all active to displays to one display or change to extended display. Is there any api or similar to do this? My target OS is Windows 7. I'm making a program that can change one active display to having extended displays and vice versa. d. I use Visual Studio 2008 Professional or 2010 Ultimate Beta 2 with Visual Basic Settings.
I have build custome windows in my application with cust contorl box on the top right corner. Minimimize, maximaize and close button are made by me.
I want to make another button beside that one which will control displaing of windows in multiple monitors environment. So, cllick on that button will list monitors and I send that window to second monitor.
I just got this really cool 9" monitor (USB attached) which I will be using for dialogs in my vb application. Can someone tell me why this code displays on both machines? if I change screen=AllScreens(1) to (2) the form is only shown on the primary but I want to show it on the very cool USB screen.
I am creating a Jeopardy type game and I want to be able to have the same form show on multiple monitors at times and at other times show a form only on one monitor. I have no problem getting a form to show up on the second monitor, but when I try to show the same form on multiple monitors I run into problems.[code]...
I am new with VB.NET 2008 and I would like to know how to make a project so the forms will show correctly on various sizes of monitors. Do you have to put code in every form for this?
I have a VB.NET app in which I'd like to use the Stopwatch class. The stopwatch will get reset every time it enters a particular method, which may be in less than a second, or not for hours. Is there a limit to how long you can let a stopwatch run before something bad happens? i.e. an error, or performance degradation?
