I want to launch a browser session from a Windows App to load a specified file using system.diagnostics.process.start("http://www.abc.com/doc1.doc") but I'd also like to specify that there shouldn't be a toolbar etc. on the browser window. Is this possible?
View 6 RepliesI have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).
View 4 RepliesI have drawn a diagram of lines on a panel using the g.DrawLine command. I want to be able to zoom in to the diagram and define the zoom area by two cursor picks. I get the coordinates of the picks and draw a rectangle using g.DrawRectangle. This works fine but as I move the cursor around, the rectangle becomes solid black (with all the DrawRectangle commands). In VB6 I used a rectangular shape on top of my diagram but you cannot do this in VB2008. I need something like drawing in XOR mode. Somehow as I move the cursor I need to undraw the old rectangle and draw the new rectangle.

View 1 RepliesI have an issue using Process.MainWindowTitle,Process.MainWindowHandle on some older VB6 applications. After Process.Start I use Process.MainWindowTitle to display in a listbox. The MainWindowTitle returned is not the Window Title but in fact the Project name of the VB6 exe.? I also store the MainWindowHandle to use the ShowWindow and SetForeGroundWindow API's. It would appear that the ShowWindow API does not work, but the SetForegroundWindow does. ie: if the VB6 app is minimized, showwindow does not restore, if it is NOT minimized setforewgroundwindow sets it to the foreground. The exact same code does work correctly for any other .net exe or notepad, only on these vb6 programs I am having a problem.

The problem is that it reduces the window size so that you can only see the title bar and min/max/close buttons. Also, even that does not stay on top of other windows.
I have used this function before on a windows 7 machine (instead of xp which this one is on) and it worked fine.
How would I get a window's process name? For example, if im using firefox, and im on VBForums, I want my program to look for a window with a name of "VBForums - Visual Basic and VB .NET Discussions and More!" and then get its process name.

what I am trying to do its to automate a user interraction by code.First I have a button named "start" once pushed I navigate with webbrowser to download a file. What I try to do it is to find the window "File download" by his title name, I allready made a seperate thread to loop into to list of process until it found the window "File download"
Where I need help, it is with the process list. I try that code below but I don't see the process "File download" in the list.and once I found it I would like to use sendMessage() api to simulate the click of save.I would like to find another window after to catch the window "save as" and click save and if the window that ask for overwriting appear I would like to find it too and click yes.
Why I use webbrowser instead of httpwebrequest it is because the web site required to login, i try using cookie, etc. No success so I decided to use webbrowser, I navigate first into the login page, I login manually and once it is done I can click the button to start downloading. I want to make an automatic download loop, I have lot of files to download on that site, sometimes .doc and other times it is .pdf
I didn't found a way yet how to force webbrowser to ask for downloading .pdf instead of opening it in acrobat, if someone can help me for that point too

I am making a key presser for a game and I have it to just spam the keys, but I want it to send the keys to a certain process or window. Here is what I have:
Private Sub Timer8_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer8.Tick
SendKeys.Send(1)
SendKeys.Send(2)
SendKeys.Send(3)
SendKeys.Send(4)
SendKeys.Send(5)
SendKeys.Send(6)
SendKeys.Send(7)
'#7 in box'
That's an example of 1 timer. Is there any way to make it just send the keys to a process I am kinda new to this.
Process.GetProcessesByName("SRO_Client")
I have 2 desktop programms..I will call them P1 and P2.So, P1 launches P2 as a process. However, at some point I want to be able to show a window in P2. My problem was that this window, when called, was showing correctly placed, in the middle of the screen, but in the back of P1.So, in order to show it as the top most window, above all others applications running on my computer, I used the windows API:
Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1
Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2
Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1[code]...
Now the window shows on top of all other, but it is placed in the top left corner of the screen, resized to much small dimentions, that I cannot even see the controls on it.

I am writing a program which opens another application with the "shell" command (so it's easy for me to get the procID). Once it is running I want to hide or show it when needed by pressing a button in my program...
I have this application that I haven't created and I don't have the source for. But it's really handy in handling and recording the time I've used on different projects. But it has this annoying pop-up that comes up that contains a window and some debug text I believe. It wasn't done by a professional, it was just a hobby project. Everything is working even though this window appear. So I was wondering if it's possible to "hijack" a window and minimizing or closing it somehow?
View 1 RepliesThe user32.dll provides functions to get the process id from a process executable name, and I can also obtain the active or foreground window that the user is working.Can I determine what windows the targeted process has opened? Otherwise, can I find out what details about the process that opened the foreground/active window?
My code needs to run only when another specific process is running and the user is actively using that window, while that window is the top-most window on the desktop.
I have an application that while running (it doesn't have to have focus, it can be minimized or another window can have focus) can listen and respond to global hot keys pressed. For instance I have the key combo Ctrl+Shift+0. When this hot key is pressed my app can recognize this and then I can do something.
This "something" that I want to do is:
1. Know what window is currently active and has focus when the hot key was pressed. And...
2. Change the size of said window
I can currently identify what window has focus by the following (the code block is inside the function that fires when the hot key is pressed):
Code:
Private Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32.dll" () As IntPtr
Private Declare Function GetWindowThreadProcessId Lib "user32.dll" (ByValhwnd As IntPtr, ByRef lpdwProcessID As Integer) As Integer
[Code]....
I can get the handle to the active window and the process that owns that window.
Having this information, how can I get access to the window itself? Furthermore, get access to it's properties so I can change the size of this thing? I'm not sure If this is the right information to be gathering for what I'm trying to accomplish but it seems that I'm close.
i used an old VB6 algorithm to subclass a window and made a few changes at the 'hook method' to make it work in .NET.
Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32.dll" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hWnd As Integer, ByVal nIndex As Integer, ByVal dwNewLong As delWindowProc) As Integer

View 2 RepliesWe create a window service that will launch multiple process of an application with different configuration. And application further communicate with sql server. It works fine when we start service manually from service manager. It launch all the process ( try with launching 3 process ). But when we test it by restart the machine and service launch automatically then it launch only one process third one. I check the event log in event viewer. I see the following message by MSSQL$MSSQLEXPRESS service
Login failed for user 'dduser'. Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
one thing we also tried by delaying ( with thread sleep ) the code execution of service. Then by starting machine again , it launch 2 process , first one still not launch.
