I use following .vbs can let me know the Windows Title is running or not, however, I would like to do more
1. Running the program with VB
2. By changing Label.Backcolor to show the Windows Title exist or not.
3. Can I run that from my machine instead logon to each server to run locally.

I have a dual monitor setup. I want my app to run in the secondary monitor by default (through settings in my app). I have been browsing the net for a solution and I found a solution which is setting the Form.Bounds to the Bounds of the secondary monitor. My problem is that if I set the bounds of my newly created form, when it gets displayed, it doesn't show in the secondary monitor.
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){
Form1 frm = new Form1();
frm.SetBounds(-1280, 112, frm.Bounds.Width, frm.Bounds.Height);
MessageBox.Show(string.Format("frm.Bounds [{0},{1}]",frm.Bounds.Left,frm.Bounds.Top));
//frm.Bounds = Screen.AllScreens[1].Bounds;
//frm.Location = Screen.AllScreens[1].Bounds.Location;
frm.Show();
MessageBox.Show(string.Format("frm.Bounds [{0},{1}]", frm.Bounds.Left, frm.Bounds.Top));}
In the code above, I first set the bounds, I can see from the message box the settings I assigned. After form gets displayed, I checked the bounds again, it has changed to it's default. How do I show then a newly created form to a specific Bounds?

View 9 RepliesSecond, I have a question which I have been trying to find answer for a wile but without any success.How can I monitor Windows Process for any change (create/kill) after run my app ? the only way I have think about it is that used two lists, the first one load the process list on it and the second refresh each 1 sec to get the new one and compare the two to know the difference, but its useless because you cant know who killed or created the process and other information.
As I have been read before, I guess there is a need to implement windows API, hook to detect process changes ? Is there any idea or solution for this?

View 2 RepliesI want to find the framework class that enables one to choose an image at design-time. I can find the editor that is used at run-time - its the Drawing.Design.ImageEditor. At design time, however, a different editor pops up which allows one to choose an image from resources.I'm guessing I could run some kind of program, then open up the image editor, from the property grid, and see what new windows/classes have been created?
View 2 RepliesI'm kind of shooting in the dark here - searches don't seem to be productive on this. I want to create a .NET program to monitor the install and uninstall of fonts. If something is installed or uninstalled, I want to run a program to do something.
I thought maybe a Windows Service, but haven't gotten very far with figuring out how to monitor fonts. Is this the right way and if so, what am I overlooking? If not, is there a different way to do this?
I am trying to create a windows service that sits in the background waiting for programs to be started. When the programs start I want to be able to check a unique bit of information for each program (I believe GUIDs may provide this) to see what the program is. If the program is not allowed, I aim to provide a warning to the user and possibly close the program. The aim of the application is to identify when users are attempting to install additional software on to the computer so simply monitoring for a certain executable wouldn't work as msiexec is called for all MSI's and as I only want to stop blacklisted programs...this wouldn't work.
