VS 2005 Draw On Desktop With GDI
Jun 10, 2010
I've find a way to Draw line, string, shape, and so directly on the Desktop, but shape are also draw over any windows that appear over the Desktop. I wish a could only draw over the WallPaper, and not over the Windows over it.
Private Declare Function GetDesktopWindow Lib "user32" () As IntPtr
Private Declare Function GetWindowDC Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr) As IntPtr
Private Declare Function ReleaseDC Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal hdc As Integer) As Integer

way to do the following in VB 2005:
I need to access, but not display, a web page out of a VB 2005 program. The web page would be an aspx page with a query string as part of the url - with the url using values acquired thru the program - e.g. www.mysite.com?arg1=this&arg2=that
So the aspx page would produce an html output with values I need placed in specific elements. I want to read that page from my app and do stuff with the resulting values.

I have the following code :
sw = New StreamWriter("scanner.txt")
sw.WriteLine("TEST")
sw.Close()
This code should write the txt file to the folder my exe is in. This is the case on hundereds of different machines.
However I have just found out that on one machine my code always writes the files to the desktop and expects to read from the desktop. I am going to change my code so it looks specifically for the application folder but I still dont get why this is happening on one machine and not on all the others.

some controls(e.g. buttons/labels) dont have a drawmode property. Im looking to create buttons with rounded corners because they just look nicer :P. Now, the problem is that even when you have a custom paint event, the button just gets drawn first and the custom paint event will draw on top. Especially with rounded corners, where you see the parts of the default button in the corners. Is there a way to only execute the custom paint event / block the default paint?

I have a problem using LVIF_IMAGE as a mask to the subitem, the icon is drawn but the icon's transparency is disregarded, that is there is a square around the icon when it is being drawn. And I would like to be able to draw multiple icons in the same subitem and apparently LVIF_IMAGE will not be able to do that.I have been searching for other means and learned that I could ownerdraw the subitem like the following. But the problem now is that only the first column is being selected when I click on a row even if FullRowSelect is true.[code]I just want to be able to set or draw icons to a subitem,

Some of u already know I'm making a 'virtual desktop'- thing.Only one problem. When switching to a new desktop it starts a new instance of my app in that desktop (works) and on the form load event it says process.start("explorer.exe") <- here is the problem. It only shows a window not the actually bar.Also this may be important it shows the window, but when I navigate to explorer.exe 'C:Windowsexplorer.exe' and open it there. The explorer bar does show up.

I need to get the DataGridView to perform the way it should perform. I'm new to the .NET environment, but I learn fairly quickly. However, I find it difficult to decipher themassive black box of the DataGridView control enough to make it do anything other than what it already does--Draw very slowly.

I'm working on one of my applications and I'm trying to find a way to use the "Go To Desktop" function that goes directly to the desktop without minimizing any window (This can be achieved by clicking on the Win + D buttons or on the desktop icon in the quick launch toolbar), but how can I activate it using vb? I thought about sending keys but I guess there is more offical ways to do it.

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop)The main reason is we area talking about an Environment that has XP, Win Server 2003 (TS), Win Server 2008 and Win 7. Obviously different path depending on the OS. I need to copy a file to a users desktop and would like to do so without having to hardcode the path as it could change depending on where they are working from.

im making a program which is a sort of mock OS, and im wondering if it is possible that, when i click a certain button, a picture box appears in the space which is the desktop. The picture box must act as a shortcut, for example if i click on new text file, a picture box with a text file picture appears on the desktop space, same for folders

how to POST to a php file form a vb.net app: http:[url].... So now I've logged in the user user by posting their username and password to the php file, the php file then does security/checks they exist/etc and if both username and password are correct is stores the user ID in a session variable.Now if the vb.net app tries to download data off a page which needs the user to logged in, it checks this by doing:
if (!isset($_SESSION['uid'])) {
header("Location: index.php");
}
However after having logged correctly in the app the session variable is not set.How does session work with a vb.net app like this?When the user logs in successfully should I download the user id and keep it in the vb.net app and then post it to each page that requires authentication?

I'm making "Sticky Notes" and I want to be able to pin those stickies to the desktop. Sorta like a BottomMost function. Is there something like that I can use and if not, how would I even go about making a function that would keep my form on the desktop?
'Pins the program to the desktop
If saved = False Then
saved = True : PinToDesktopToolStripMenuItem.Checked = True : lblClose.Visible = False : Me.ShowInTaskbar = False
Else
saved = False : PinToDesktopToolStripMenuItem.Checked = False : lblClose.Visible = True : Me.ShowInTaskbar = True
End If
The reason I'm not going to mark it resolved is because if I click pin to desktop and the desktop isn't the application directly under my application then I have to minimize every program to get it to stay on the desktop.
