Draw Custom Buttons On Windows Vista / 7 Aero Titlebar

Nov 7, 2010

I found this question on StackOverflow. Basically, the user wanted to draw custom buttons on the titlebar. I tried the code and realised it works in vista/7 only when Aero is disabled. My question is, is there any way to draw custom buttons on the titlebar while aero is enabled? Any way of reading information from the current theme so I can style my buttons to match the already existing ones.

Here is a screenshot from my computer demonstrating the above concept. I got the additional titlebar buttons after installing DisplayFusion. And I know DisplayFusion is a .NET program because it opens in .NET Reflector. The down side is that the program is obfuscated. Not like I wanted to decompile the program or anything; I just want to add a button to my titlebar to do something else (like minimise to the system tray for instance).
Below is the screenshot, proving the program is a .NET app.

VS 2008 Adding Additional Components?

Dec 13, 2009

I need to make a custom control and decided, before that, to see if there were any additional components that I could utilize.When looking through the list, I found a component called an Expander. So I decided to add it and see how it works.

After adding it, I couldn't find it at all within the toolbox. I went back to Choose Items and it was checked, but still not in the toolbox.It's probably important to note that it is a WPF component and this is not a WPF Project. Would that make a difference?Is there something else I may be doing wrong?

VS 2008 - BackgroundWorker Call Additional Subs?

Jul 7, 2009

Can a BackgroundWorker call additional subs? In my program I am connectiong to an OPC Server. I am doing some AsynReads, which in themselves don't take anytime. But Once I get the AsyncReadComplete returned, I want to do the AsyncRead right away. Basically I need to Loop them. The problem now is that while it is doing this, Everything is unresponsive, because it is just going through the loop. So to perhaps rephrase the question, If the BackgroundWorker initiates a process (in this case AsyncRed) would the returned AsyncReadComplete be apart of the BackgroundWorker or seperate Thread?

VS 2008 Open Additional Forms In Center Of Form1 Position?

Jun 10, 2009

I would like all additional forms opened by some command the user performs on the Form1 to open in the center of Form1, no matter where the user has physically moved Form1 on their desktop screen. The application itself (Form1) is a small box with dimensions of 442x306 that will open even smaller forms on top of itself. Right now, I have everything positioned to open in the center of the screen so, in theory, everything works/looks fine as long as the user doesn't move Form1 anywhere.

Resolution And Buttons - Tabs, Inside Each Tab There Are Buttons (the User Can Add The Buttons When They Want)

Mar 3, 2012

I have a piece of software with two tabs, inside each tab there are buttons (the user can add the buttons when they want). when tab1 is full tab2 should start to fill. I currently know how many buttons fit on the screen so I just say something like if buttons > 150 then start to populate tab 2 The problem i have now though is if the resolution is changed then a different amount of buttons can be displayed. so if I put my screen to 1280x720 some buttons are left of. I was thinking of detecting the resolution and then using different cases for different resolutions but this seems very inefficient im wondering if there is a different way?

Different Captions For TitleBar And TaskBar

Jul 21, 2010

The title of our forms is Company Name - Application Name - Form Name This makes selecting the form you want on the TaskBar a bit difficult since the Form Name is not shown. We would like the TaskBar caption to be Form Name - Application Name - Company Name or simple Form Name From my searches, this CANNOT be done except by using an invisible form that displays on the TaskBar which calls the visible form that does not display on the TaskBar.

How To Catch Application Titlebar Change

Apr 1, 2011

We are running on a Windows Client Platform (generally WinXP) in niche industry program that runs in a 640x480 window back to an AS/400 server. To reduce errors I want to watch for when the title bar of the program changes. Then I need to capture the keyboard entries to validate. I'll then make sure each of the entries is valid since the archaic program does no validation. I'll can then do a pop-up then warning the end-user if errors occur and to reduce/eliminate the exception reports.how can I capture the event of the application title bar change = 'string' that I need? API call? Aiming to do this in VB unless another would be notable cleaner.

VS 2010 - How To Remove Titlebar And Taskbar Icons

Dec 28, 2011

For my own personal use, I'd like to code an app that disables the icon on the upper left of the window titlebars and in the taskbar of ms windows. This is how it should look when it's done: [URL] (this little autohotkey script is broken in win 7). Is this is feasable in vb? If yes, how do I communicate with the win os? Maybe get a list of active windows and redraw them and the taskbar after replacing their icon by a blank one in memory?

VS 2010 Form Without Titlebar, But With Title Text?

Apr 16, 2010

The main form in my application is a small form without a titlebar. I accomplished this by setting these properties:

- ControlBox = False
- MinimizeBox = False
- MaximizeBox = False
- Text = "" (empty)

As long as the Text (title text) remains empty, the form has no title bar. Note that it still has a border so it can be resized (FormBorderStyle = Sizable, as usual, not None!)Now, because I have to keep the Text property empty, the taskbar button never shows any text... But I want to show text in the taskbar button!

As far as I know, the only way to set the text on the taskbar button is using the forms Text property, but I cannot set that because the form will have a titlebar if I do...

[2005] Hiding The Titlebar, MenuStrip, ToolStrip Etc?

Feb 1, 2009

I have been playing with the Windows API.A Windows application typically has a TitleBar (with a caption on it), underneath is a MenuStrip, under that a ToolStrip (with the tool icons on it), and under that the main application area.I want to be able to strip everything off, except for the main application area.I have found how to hide the TitleBar, using:

GetWindowLong (and passing to it the handle of the form, and GW_STYLE to get the current windows style)SetWindowLong (and passing to it the handle of the form, the InitialStyle, and ORing with it WS_DLGFRAME) how to remove the MenuStrip and ToolStrip to leave just the main application area?

Code so far:

Public Class Form1
Private Const WM_SYSCOMMAND As Integer = 274
Private Const SC_MAXIMIZE As Integer = 61488

Why Application Pause Debugging When Hold The Titlebar With Mouse

Sep 17, 2009

I am putting two questions in one thread. I am using VS2008 Pro.

1- Why my application stops running when I 'Click and hold the left mouse button' and resume after releasing the mouse button on Titlebar? i.e. why this happens when I grab the title bar? How can I avoid this so that my application run regardless if the form is moving or title bar is grabbed with mouse while debugging?

2- I want to make one button to pause the whole application then restart the application from the point where it stopped.

Different Buttons And When These Buttons Are Clicked In The Defined Order Then Having A Picture Displayed?

Feb 5, 2010

What I would like to do is to have four different buttons (e.g., buttonA, buttonB, buttonC and button D). I wanna give the following instruction to the people: press these buttons in the following order: first buttonA, then buttonB, then buttonC and last buttonD. If they obey this instruction then a picture will be displayed, for instance a happy face. All the other combinations will not activate this picture to be displayed, or in other words, there won't be any consequence. I would also like to save this data using windows note pad e.g., writeline (1, xxxxxx). Is there any chance I will make it?
