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

Program That Runs In Background And Monitors USB Ports

Oct 10, 2011

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.

VS 2008 Defining Words In A Program?

Oct 28, 2009

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.

How To Create A Simple Program That Monitors What Programs Are Opening

Nov 10, 2010

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

VS 2008 Hidden Dlls - Security Program That Monitors The Keystokeswebsitesprocesses

Dec 30, 2009

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?

Code For Dividing A Stopwatch Result By 60 Program 2008?

Feb 22, 2010

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.

Stopwatch Ticks - Trigger An Event For Each Tick Of The Stopwatch Without Missing Any Ticks?

Oct 5, 2011

So a timer's maximum interval is 1 which is a thousand ticks a second. A Stopwatch's frequency is 2238906 ticks a second on my pc...

I am wondering if there is a reliable way to trigger an event for each tick of the stopwatch without missing any ticks...

If I can somehow get a Tick event for the stopwatch, I believe I can increase the resolution of my input recorder....

Access Query With Parameters In Program?

Sep 3, 2010

Microsoft Access queries with somecolumnname = [?] do not show up in the list of Views in the New DataSource Wizard in Visual Studio.

The query works perfectly from within Microsoft Access by just prompting for the values of the parameters.

The columns of the query should populate labels on my form based on the values in a couple textboxes.

What is the "best-practices" way to use parameter queries in my .NET application?

Parameters - User Login Before Program Loads

Nov 30, 2010

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=!!!!"

Passing Parameters To A Flash Movie Inserted In A VB Program?

C# - Search For Names In The Database That Matches Whole Parameters Or Any Part Of Parameters

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:

Multiple Monitors Launching?

May 15, 2010

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.
