ToolStripButtonClick Is Not Happening If The MDI Form (on Which The ToolStirip Is Placed) Doesn't Have Focus
Mar 1, 2010
I have a ToolStrip Control on a MDI Container. The ToolStirip has some ToolStringButtons on it. We are using .NET Framework 2.0 and VB.NET. If the Container doesn't have focus , the toolStripButtons do not recieve click, but if do the same with normal button it happens. how we can make these buttons click even of the form doesn't have focus. I tried fixing it by using Form Activate event and check if the button is selected fire click event.

I have an app that basically monitors states, then when a state has changed, a notify form is triggered to show for the user.Timers are used on the form to showing a fading in/out of the form (somewhat like MS Outlook new email notification windows).I'm using a delegate from the main form to show the form, but when the first timer in the form is set to start, the timer's tick event is never ran. Everything up to that point in code works perfectly though.Is there something I need to do in order for the tick event to fire, like it would without the use of a delegate to show the form?[code]

I want to develop an app which won't allow the user to open or jump to another application while it is open. It should be in Visual Basic. For example, if my application is open (running) and the user tries to open any other windows application like "media player" then it shouldn't open. The app should not even allow "task manager" to run. The application should completely block the windows environment while it is running.

I have two forms in an application. One is he background and then I show another keypad form called with the show() method (not showDialog) because I need to perform some validations on btn click.
The kepad has 10 buttons and an Enter Button. The problem is that the form keeps loosing focus (I checked this with a messagebox which keeps poping up once for focus=true and again for focus=false, it continuously keeps losing and gaining focus) so it does not process any keypress events untill i click somewhere on the form. I tried using me.focus() in form load event but to no avail. The forms TopMost property is also set to true.

But from here I don't know how to redirect. I have tried:
RedirectURL=" & strYourSiteFQDN & strVirtualDir & "/PaymentConfimationPage.aspx?reasonCode=002" & vbCrLf
in notificationPage.aspx page.
Do I need to use this page? How to redirect? Code I have is in VB whether C# code available?

Not sure this is a VS specific question - the answer is probably more os related (xp, vista, win7...)But at any rate - how could I go about detecting all the files that are opened while a machine is up and and running??

I'm attempting to intercept and interrupt mouse events. Lets say I wanted to disable the right mouse button down event, or even the mouse move event. I haven't been able to figure out the interrupting part.
I am using the (I assume pretty widely used) following code for Global Hooking of the mouse.

I'm looking to create a simple program with 1 text field, 1 button, and an area to display what is happening and if there were any errors.My goal is to be able to delete user profiles stored on a network drive by simply putting in the users ID and hitting the button.I'll use my own id as an example:If I put mdesieno in the txt box and hit the button, I'll need the button to map to the network drive and delete mdesieno.corp and mdesieno.v2 I would like the bottom half of the window to display text like:
"Deleting User Profile mdesieno.corp" SUCCESSFUL
"Deleting User profile mdesieno.V2" SUCCESSFUL
To me this seems pretty simple, but as I said, I do not know VB yet. Is there code out there that is already written to do something like this?

The form is an About Us form so has nothing on it only a text box and a OK button.
[Code]...
Why won't the button close the form? I'm puzzled, I tried another button just in case with the same result. UPDATE: I set a break point on Me.Close() and it isn't reaching it when I click the button, I created a new button and the same thing happened.

I have a form where in it there's a webbrowser control doing some autonomous tasks. I leave it running in the background but, due to the navigation in the webbrower control, the window pops-up in front of all others and this is really annoying when Im doing something else.
Is there a way to disable the form from auto-focus or whats doing? Even if I hide the form using Hide() it still is able to remove the focus from whatever window has it.

i have this form, lets call it form1, i dont want the user to be able to click outside the form or let the form lose focus, kind of like when you are setting an options for a program and you click outside of the options settings and the options dialogue box flashes and refocuses your mouse on it and wont let you click anywhere until after you hit ok. i also dont want the user to do a cntrl + alt+ delete and open that options box thing that takes over your screen

I'm working on a program to wish my girlfriend a happy birthday, my idea is to show a label like a notification, similar to the one used in messenger, but I want it to be on top of whatever she is working on the computer at the time, even games (she's a hardcore gamer). Is this possible??what I'm asking for is a form on top of everything, not stealing focus, and if she presses a key, for example "q", the message activates no matter what she is doing. I'm a beginner, and I know how to do the label, the key press, but I don't know how to do the above mentioned

I want to create a program that gets if the user has pressed a code, for example F8, but without the user having to have focus on the form. I want the program to start hidden, and while the user works normally (say browses the internet (Go Google Chrome)), he just presses F8 and the form shows up. So I ask, is there any way to get key presses outside the form? [code]

Whenever you have a messagebox, it grabs attention from your main window and doesn't let you click back into your form until you hit okay.I want to make a form that does kind of the same thing. I have this for that shows download progress and I don't want the user to be able to click back into the main form until the download form is finished.

I am just getting into the learning curve of .net. I have thus many tinyl hitches to get some quick fix. Thus if my questions are dumb or too down right primitive, please pardon the novice.I have a few text boxes in a form1st QI want to get to a particular 1st_txtbox when the form opens. Hence in the load event i place a line: 1st_txtbox.focus()But on reopening the form the 2nd time, if user has already moved to 2nd_txtbox, the cursor gets to 2nd_txtbox. Where did i go wrong?

The form is the main form, this form is Disabled while the user goes to a different form and then Enabled once returned (this is so some functions are automatically processed when this happens using Handles EnabledChanged) within this I want to set the focus to a certain text box i have tried setting the textbox to the lowest TabIndex but i don't think this will make a difference as this isn't the first time the form is opened and I have also tried textbox.focus() but neither of these have worked.

Most of my experience in Visual Basic programming is in VBA. I'm currently trying to build a VB.NET Windows application that basically consists of a form that has one button and one label. When the button is clicked, the label should serve as a "counter" that counts from 0 to infinity until the user closes the window with the "x" button. I do this by putting a loop with a sleep statement in the onclick sub. The loop iterates the integer that is displayed in the label and does a "Me.Refresh".The problem is when the window loses focus. When it loses focus (when I click off of it), the counter stops. Even when I click back on it, the counter doesn't resume.

When I run my VB.NET Winforms app I do not want it to steal the focus from the other open apps. FYI, my app is started from the command line but that shouldn't make a difference. I've seen question 577076 but that doesn't seem to work.

I have made a program with a main Form and several auxilary forms. Is it possible to modify the auxilary form in a way like a msgbox. It stays always in focus, and you cannot interact with the main form. What I did find was the Form.enabled (True or False) method, but then the main form completely greys out, but I don't like the way it looks.
