Take A Screenshot With Program Minimized?
Jan 13, 2012
I wrote some code for a program I am making to take a screenshot when the program is minimized. Thing is something is wrong with the code and I am not sure what it is. Whenever I take a screenshot the program is taking the picture with the application up and not minimized.
So what I need it to do is minimize the application then take the screenshot and then reopen the program after its taken the screenshot. for the noob question but I am brand new to the VB and only been coding it in for less then a day.

I got a program which needs to be used while it is minimized but don't know how to do this. I would control it by keyboard, my keys only work when the form gets focus.

I would like to get my program to run in the background. The EXE file I have created, I want it to run in the background and yet do not want to show the user that the program is running. Like I don't want to have the minimized screen on the task bar. Can I do it in my VB.net program.

I wrote code for checking whether a particular process (Outlook.exe, in my case) is running or not. It is working fine when the Outlook window is open or minimized. But, when the Outlook is minimized to tray (which on the right side of taskbar), my code is not identifying the process.Could anyone please suggest me a way to get the process of Outlook (or any other program) that is minimized to tray?

Basically what I would like to do is take a screenshot of a portion of the screen based on coordinates taken with the mouse left button click.
what I can do up to now is get the coordinates with the mouse and show these in a label thanks to[code]...
What I thought to do is take the coordinates of the upper left corner and lower right corner and make a screenshot thanks to these coordinates.

I'm making a program where the user fills out info, then they click one button and the program takes a screenshot of the form, then they click another button and the screenshot gets saved. I'm having a couple problems with my code though. For one, I'm trying to make the screenshot go to an invisible picturebox to make saving easier, but I cant figure out how to make the image go to the picturebox. The other problem is that I want it to automatically save without showing the dialog, but so far, it won't save.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
TakeShotOfScreens()

I'm currently working on a screenshot program, much like Gyazo and I've come across a problem.
[code]...
Now, it draws perfectly when I drag left to down (vice versa), but when I try and drag the opposite way (this is when I get negative x and y values), it doesn't seem to draw the rectangle.I've tried fixing it but with no luck at all, it just messes it up :c

I picked vb.net for this question since it's the only prgramming language I am fairly familair with, but if C++ or something else is more suited for this, I am willing to learn something new.What I am trying to do is:Retrieve text from database (this already works in vb.net) and copy it to clipboard Switch primary screen to the external application I want to work with (example: word or open office) Emulate key-press "Enter" Paste text and hit enter again Emulate key-press CTRL and then emulate a click on a pre-defined spot on the screen (like 500pixels from left, 740pixels from top). Save screenshot, using a second value from the database as the filename (the naming part should be easy) Emulate another click on another pre-defined spot Repeat for next text in database.I wouldn't know where to start, though. I guess the most important part of what I'm trying to achieve is; switching focus to an external application and emulate keypresses and mouse clicks on it.

I want to be able to detect when the user presses F10 or Ctrl+F10 outside of my program, and upon receiving the key press, it will send text to whatever they currently have selected (e.g. a text box). How can this be accomplished in the simplest way?

I have small application which shows an alert in every 45 mins....( to take a break from work :) )..... It is a normal windows form with a timer in it and in every 45 mins I am invoking a message box. I am able to make it work but the problem is that when the application is minimized, the message box is not popping up, it stays with in the parent form (minimized). How can I bring it up to the user focus?

I am making an application that manages a MySQL DB on a server. Its working perfect and no errors...The problem is if I have the application opened and I do one of the followings:-Minimize the application-Change focus to another window like MyDocuments Folder, Internet Explorer or whatever I have opened.-It not only happens while in the VB.NET environment.Also to the final compiled executable.-Continue after verifying a variable with a Break Point (F9), just closes the application.-If I make the application form minimize through code it also closes the application (WindowState Minimized)

Currently I'm trying to create an Auto-Clicking program using VB via Visual Studio 2008. I bound hotkeys to start and stop the endless clicking loop, but I cannot find a simple way to make the program recognize or detect the hotkeys while the program is minimized.One that does not require over 9000 lines of code?

I'm trying to make use of some functionality from an external app in my program.
My problem is this:
My program manages to start the external app correctly and I can even get the WinHandle correctly if I don't use "ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized" when starting the app.
If I start the app minimized, WinHandle = ProcID.MainWindowHandle returns a 0 and as I understand it, it's
because the app is hidden in the system tray.
How can I start the app minimized and then get the window's handle once it has been minimized?
I've tried various functions like FindWindow and BringWindowToTop but none of them seem to work.

I have a 2nd form that is minimized to the taskbar, I can click on the tab and the form opens and shows all of the data fine, but
From the main form, I am maximizing the second form and trying to pass a value to a toolstrip textbox on the second form then press a button on the toolstrip from the second form, I can get this to work fine, but where I am having a problem is
The button searches through a treeview, when I step through my code, I can see the value that I am passing, my code does execute, but the treeview is showing no nodes(but they are really there). At the begining of the code, I put a message box to give me a count of the nodes in the treeview, it shows 0, but I can see all 10000+ nodes. What the textbox is on the toolstrip is a search box. When the form is maximized, I can enter whatever and it finds it with no problems, but if I pass a value it doesnt find anything because the treeview is saying there are no nodes when there is.

I've got this little 'Sticky Notes' type of application and the form I have is a borderless, taskbarless form and for Windows 2000 compatability I'm using VS 2008 and targeting the 2.0 framework. One of the hurdles I have is that in XP, Vista & 7 when you click the Show Desktop button all of my note's windows get minimized and without a taskbar icon, it's not easy to get them back (at least not for a normal user) & I'm looking for a way to either right after the windows minimize I just have them all show again or if I can skip the minimizing message in the wndproc altogether
I've put together a test app that'll show the messages in a listbox for the form, but I'm not sure how to go about skipping sending the message to the form's base class. Here's a snippet, listMessages is the listbox on the form[code]...
