I am migrating VB application in VB.NET. In VB application , there are using Microsoft windows common control 5.0 COMCTL32.OCX. When I add this component in migrated project, it becomes interop_mscommlib.dll. I want to remove any interop dll in my migrated project. So my question is : Is there any .net supported COMCTL32 which i can use and from where I can get that.

View 6 RepliesMy goal is to control an application from VB.NET. There is no API, and I do not have the source, only the compiled EXE file. Is there a way to find the opened application, find a button within the application, click a button and know it was clicked? Is there a way to read the contents of a textbox within the application?

Within VB.NET, trying to find an easy way to in a sense check the check-box "Use Windows to configure my Wireless Network Settings". This is an option that forces windows to use your wireless over third-party programs that may try to steal control. I am aware this requires to have WZC enabled within services and that's something that can be easily accomplished one way or another.
I doubt or rather cannot find a proper registry value or API call to check or initiate such a task.
I've completed projects similar to this in the past but this one has me stumped. Trying to retrieve text from a text box in a third party application. Using SPY++ I found that this control is the second control in the list so I coded the following: Dim parentWindow as integer = windows.ReturnWindowHandle({windowname})
If parentWindow > 0 then
Dim childWindow as integer = FindWindowEx(parentWindow, 0, Nothing, {child window name})
Dim field as integer = 0
[Code].....
This worked great. Closed the app, came back the next day and this same code did not work. Used spy++ and found that the control had moved to the 4th position. Closed it, reopened it, this time it moved to the first. What is the best way to find this control each time when there are are 50+ controls on the screen and they all appear in spy++ like this:
Window 0022063A "" Edit
Window 00270652 "" Edit
Window 001A0630 "" Edit
and they continue to rearrange themselves each time the application is closed and reopened?
I've spent the best part of the week learning about TCP/IP and sockets but it's really draining my enthusiasm for my project. The basics are simple enough and the MSDN examples are fine and I can put together a simple server/client easily now, but once I start getting into asynchronous connections, threading and all the other stuff, I'm getting bogged down and frustrated. I've followed a dozen tutorials and examples now and they're all too confusing and half of them simply don't work.
I think what's most frustrating is that I really don't wish to become an expert on sockets or TCP, which seems to be the advice on most forum replies. I really want to be getting on with my project which has ground to a halt since I started looking into this. Yes, I know the world isn't always that simple.
So, what I'm looking for is a 3rd party app or some working code that will let me set up a server and multiple clients. All I really want them to be able to do is to send strings to each other, without blocking the application. Really, that's it, just the ability to pass strings back and forth between server and client, preferably in as simple a format as possible - e.g SendMessage(Client,String).

I have a third-party .dll file provided to me by the manufacturer. I have never worked with .dll files before, so I am wondering:
How can I add the file to my project?How can I utilize intellisense to use the methods in the dll?
I have a third party dll that contain a class, SampleClass1
Public Class SampleClass1
Public SomeValue As Double
Public Function Test() As Double

My intention is if the dll is found, use it. Else ignore it. However, if the dll is not found, the program throw an Invalid OperationException.
I am writing a small application that will display some info to my end user. I have another program that the end user will have open while running my appplication. What I am trying to do is have my application launch itself (and maintain positioning if other app location changes) and "tether" itself to the other application.Ideally the top left of my application would attach to the top right of the other application.I have tried for countless hours working with the GetWindowPos API but the values returned are either all zeros or it just doesn't work.I do a Try/Catch to see if the other app is running and I fetch the Handle of the process. This works fine. Then I try to get the positioning of this process and set my .Left property to the returned RECT's .Left property. no dice.This is Visual Basic 2005 ExpressOther application is a PuTTY window that is not a fullscreen app.
View 3 RepliesIs there any code for vb.net so i can zip and unzip file without any 3rd party programs e.g. (i know this is not right)
Using zip As ZipFile = New ZipFile
zip.AddDirectory(directory)
zip.Save(targetZip)
End Using
my program launches a 3rd party program with a few switches to update itself.Once these updates are complete I need to manually click save from the applications menu. This can be done via the keyboard (Alt Gr + M then Alt Gr + S)
The application will take several seconds to load at which point the application will open maximised and the save option will be enabled.

The most important I want is listview / combobox
I have a 3rd party DLL which converts my file(ex: text file) their intermediate format.
this function convert the file to their intermediate format and stores the result in targetdirectory.
Dim result As Result = test.Convert(file, targetdirectory)
If Not result = result.Success Then
MsgBox("Convertion failed")

Does anyone know of a good 3rd party reference for Win32 API for .Net where VB.Net is the target language Most API references target C as the language of choice. Frankly, I hate C and all C like languages.
View 11 RepliesI'm using VB 2008 and I'm trying to add a xmlns="mynamespace" attribute to an XDocument's root element.The XML document is created by a 3rd party, and I have loaded it into a VB XDocument object. As it comes, it has no namespaces. I have been working on a local copy and I added in a namespace in a text editor, so that I can use the XMLToSchema in VB to enable intellisense etc, as per the instructions in the Beth Massi vids at MSDN. Now the rest of the code works I want to open the live documents again. Without the namespace, my XML literals don't resolve.I've tried unsuccessfully to add in the XMLNS property to the root tag using a few methods, and the nearest I got was the following three code samples.
Dim myNS As XNamespace = "urn:nbf:namespacename"
myXML.Element("nameofrootelement").Add(myNS)
^^^^ The namespace was added as the value of the root element, not as an attribute.
XML.Root.Add(New XAttribute("xmlns", "name"))
^^^^ Generated the error: Run-time exception thrown : System.Xml.XmlException - The prefix '' cannot be redefined from '' to 'name' within the same start element tag.
but
XML.Root.Add(New XAttribute("test", "name"))
^^^^ works correctly. Presumably it doesn't like me manually trying to set a reserved attribute? This namespacing seems way too over complex from some of the Googling I've done.I thought to .ToString it, then modify, then .Parse it also, but I wanted a better solution so that it would help me understand it a little better! I did try this though, and as you rightly point out, it affects all the descendants too, so thus it still breaks.
I will be working with multiple XML feeds all produced by different third parties, and I think for simplicity I will be leaving out the namespacing entirely!My own custom parsing function rewrites the third party feeds into one uniformed document, which then gets processed by another routine. I'll be able to add a ns to that intermediate piece of XML which will help when coding the secondary function.
Im trying to detect when numbers change in a 3rd party app and then capture them for crunching. I do recall something back in the days of vb5 that would list control info when the mouse hovered over it. Cant seem to find anything like it these days. Ive got window handles ok, just cant read the control data.

Working on a program that makes use of a third party API. That API can be found here:[URL]I'm a beginning/intermediate VB.Net developer, and have written other programs, but not using something like this. I suspect I'll need to create a Web.Request (Secure) object and 'POST' to the URL with a stream of XML text. That's the general idea, right? The actual URL is internal to our network and I have that information of course.
View 9 RepliesHow can integrate particular Third party tool with my vb.net application
View 2 RepliesI'm still new to most of this but I seem to be finding that while you can load the Microsoft Reference Libraries at no charge, I'm told they are the slowest method to use.I have tested Gembox and only read about others. Is it worth the effort to deploy these 3rd party platforms, even if I'm working with small data sets, for the moment at least? Speed is one thing but when you're talking about 2 seconds vs 0.2 seconds, it's not worth $900 per seat.
Are there other 3rd party references which are Open Source, or no cost, etc...I would like to hear what the rest of us are doing on this?
I use SelectNodes("//Party") to extract all the Party nodes. Then I have seperate processing for all the nodes that are not Party and are not children of Party (HostName, HostVersion, etc).
View 5 RepliesI'm using a third party dll for my project and one of the function that is provided by the dll use form handle as one of the argument. But when i call the function, I'm not using any window form and it's just called from another class. So what value i should put for that argument?Here's the example of that function:
AVS_Measure (device_handle, form_handle, no_measurement)
After this function has been called, it will send message to the form_handle argument whether the measurement data is available and valid.I called this function from another class just for triggering start measurement and i have another function to retrieve the data. I do not have any form associate to it, what value i should put for this argument?
Some will remember my first thread about extracting an image from a 3rd party application. The solution that was offered was to use the Easy Screenshot class that is in the code bank.While this solution works, there are obvious drawbacks. I'm trying to fully automate this program, and needing the window to come to the foreground, even momentarily, defeats the purpose of it.Is there another way to get the image held in a picture box of a 3rd party application?
