View 2 RepliesI've got a dual monitor setup, my main monitor is a Dell 20" 1680x1050 res, secondary is a Dell 17" 1280x1024.I've just updated my gfx driver (nvidia driver version 190.62).I'm using code like that shown below to get the screens and I always assumed that AllScreens(0) would be the primary screen and AllScreens(1) would be the secondary but this appears to be reversed since I updated my driver.

Is my coding in error or is Windows reporting the screen information wrongly ? How can I be sure to set AllScreen(0) as the users primary screen and AllScreens(1) as their secondary ?
Is there a simple way to differentiate single display vs. dual display clone? I am asking about dual clone, not extended desktop. .Net Screen class treats dual clone as single display. I could not find useful WMI method also.

Microsoft has two different FW redistributables dotnetfx.exe for 32bit OS and NetFx64.exe for 64bit OS.Is there any installation file that can detect the OS type and install correct redistributable?

I compiled some VB6 code on my Win7 x64 machine and the result .exe will not run correctly on any other machine. VB6 code is just a new template .exe file with one button, a reference to "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.6 Library" and the following code in the button press event: Dim db Set db = New ADODB.Connection It runs correctly on my machine, but no others (even other Win7 x64 machines) (Update: I found TWO other users where it runs and one of them is Jeff Atwood!, but most machines have the same problem)

If a form is being displayed on the secondary monitor, is there a way to make sure that a MessageBox generated by that form will display back on the primary monitor? The form is being displayed over a projection system and some messages do not need to be seen by the audience, just the computer operator.

View 2 RepliesI have been writing visual basic and vb .net applications for years and have come across this problem with the timer component under Windows 7 32bit on dual core Intel processors. This problem only occurs with Windows 7 running on a dual core processor, single core and under the virtual pc on any processor works.
I have attached a test program to show this problem. The program uses 2 timers to count down to 0. It does not matter what type of timer component I use system.timer.timer or system.windows.forms.timer. I read the system.timer.timer may fix this problem so I changed the program to use it but it did the exact same thing. Left it in anyway.
The program: Timer1 is set to a number of ms for a given amount of time say 150000 for 150 seconds and started. The timer will expire correctly. At the same time a second timer Timer2 is set to 1000 ms for a count down display to 0. Timer2 fires and the count is updated. This happens and everything looks fine. When Timer1 fires I disable timer2 so it will stop counting down. Timer2's countdown is at 2 instead of 0. It is firing slow. If I increase the value of timer1 to say 500 seconds timer2 is behind by 6 seconds. These amounts are the same for the 2 very different computers I ran this on but both are dual processor systems running Windows 7. The exact code works correctly on Windows Xp on the same processors and works under Windows 7 on a Pentium 4 system.

I just got this really cool 9" monitor (USB attached) which I will be using for dialogs in my vb application. Can someone tell me why this code displays on both machines? if I change screen=AllScreens(1) to (2) the form is only shown on the primary but I want to show it on the very cool USB screen.

My app displays a list of records in a DataGridView on the main form. I've developed code for cut/copy/paste for the selected records and have put the code behind Cut/Copy/Paste menu items under a classic 'Edit' menu design, with the standard shortcut keys(Ctrl + X, Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V).
The trouble is, I also want the shortcut keys to work on selected text when I'm editing inside text fields on a record in the DataGridView. So I need the shortcut behaviour to change depending on whether I'm editing a record or selecting record(s).
I have a form1 and many other sub forms in my software.I want all those forms to work on a 2nd monitor (if the user does have a 2nd monitor)while working on my 1st monitor as well.But i don't have 2 monitors in my system hence i cant test this feature out.But dual monitor integration is a very important part of my software.

View 10 RepliesI need a 2-listbox mover/selection type control such as the example here: [URL] For over a week now I've searched countless forums and done myriads of googles. All I've been able to find is C++ or ASP based stuff. I really would like this to be VB.net, but at this point, I'd even settle for C#.
I've taken a shot at developing it myself, but am too new to the .Net world to really get anywhere with it other than being completely overwhelmed and frustrated. I've even looked at some 3rd party custom control webistes, and am even willing to spend a few bucks for this thing, if I could find one that suits my needs.

View 2 RepliesAfter I upgraded from Windows Xp to Windows 7 on any dual core cpu machine my programs that use a simple timer function run incorrectly. The program works with the exact same hardware under Windows Xp and Windows Server 2003. I am using Visual Studio 2005 to write .NET Visual Basic programs that use 2 timers to count down. The first timer, timer1, is set to a value say 150000 ms (150 seconds). The second timer, timer2, is set to 1000ms (1 second). Both timers are enabled one right after the other from a button click event and begin. The timer2 routine running every second updates a label counting down the seconds. When timer1 fires it disables itself and exits. Timer2 also checks to see if timer1 is still running if it is not it will stop. Under Windows Xp and Windows Server 2003 the resulting count in the label is 0 when timer2 detects timer1 has finished. Under Windows 7 when timer1 stops timer2 is not at 0 it is 3 for 150 seconds and gets larger the more timer1 is increased. It appears to me timer2 is not being fired every 1000ms as it was under Windows Xp.
I have included the Visual Basic code below. If you want to test it just run Visual Studio and create a new project. Put the buttons, numericupdown, and labels in your form and past my code into the correct buttons. I have used these type of timer events for years without any problems unit Windows 7. Windows 7 on a single core Pentium 4 with hyperthreading turned on works fine. Windows 7 on a dual core E6500 fails, Windows Server 2003 works.

I try to create a dual video player with VB 2010.
With that I have 2 forms, 1 main form (with all the controls and it should contain a preview screen of what is being displayed on the second form.
And a second form (with a windows media player component).
Now the main form should have (as told) a preview screen of what is shown on the second screen, I want to know if it is possible to have is as the windows 7 taskbar thumbnail (when preview the mediaplayer).
Details: I want to compare these above two table1 and 2 . The unmatched records should be save in a new table .
objectives
1 Should take input the table and fields we want to match each other.
2 Then after searching or reading the record from table and selected fields save the unmatch records in a new table
How do I display all the database available in sql and display it datagridview or listview?
View 7 RepliesI have a button btnRegEx that when pressed shows a ContextMenuStrip, similar to the '>' button in the Find/Replace dialog in Visual Studio when you are using Regular Expressions. I have a ContextMenuStrip cms which I show using its Show(x,y) method.
At first I was simply setting x and y (the location of the ContextMenuStrip) to some point next to the button, but I noticed that when the button is close to the edge of the screen it goes off screen. I wanted to prevent that so I built some logic into the x-y calculation. When the ContextMenuStrip width is larger than the 'remaining space left' I simply show it more to the left. Same for its Height of course. I am using the Screen.GetWorkingArea(point) method to determine the 'remaining space left'. As I understand it, it returns the working area closest to the point you specify (to which I pass the button's location).
As long as I stay on my first monitor, it is all working perfectly fine. The problem occurs when I move the form to my second monitor. The contextmenustrip is still showing on the first monitor for some reason...
Here is the code I am using:
vb.net Private Sub btnRegEx_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRegEx.Click
Dim p As Point = PointToScreen(New Point(btnRegEx.Left, btnRegEx.Top))
Dim x, y As Integer
[CODE]...
I have noticed that when I click the button when the form is on the second monitor, the buttons location (p) is calculated with the first monitor's top-left corner as (0,0), even though it is on the second monitor. This way, the GetWorkingArea function returns something like 1280, while the buttons x-location is something like 1700... So, how do I get the buttons coordinate relative to the actual screen it is on, rather than the entire dual monitor screens as a whole?

I can retrieve data from my table and display it in datagridview. One of the column contains user password. I want the password column to display just asterisk or any character not the real password. Is this possible to do in datagridview?
View 7 RepliesI need to display a simple box on a form that can be split by the user. It represents a gang up of a number of images on a printed sheet. These images are always in a # of rows x # of columns format (1x1 or 2x4 etc). There can be from 1 - 24 rows and 1 - 24 columns.
My thought was that I would give one text box each that the user could enter the number of rows and number of columns into. When these change then the box display would repaint to display a grid that represents the gang up specified in the text boxes. My issue is that I don't see a control that I could adapt for this use for the box.
anyone can give a code for display time table. This is the example of the output. I am using widows form
