VS 2008 Find "Moving" Control In 3rd Party App
Apr 8, 2011
I've completed projects similar to this in the past but this one has me stumped. Trying to retrieve text from a text box in a third party application. Using SPY++ I found that this control is the second control in the list so I coded the following: Dim parentWindow as integer = windows.ReturnWindowHandle({windowname})
If parentWindow > 0 then
Dim childWindow as integer = FindWindowEx(parentWindow, 0, Nothing, {child window name})
Dim field as integer = 0
[Code].....
This worked great. Closed the app, came back the next day and this same code did not work. Used spy++ and found that the control had moved to the 4th position. Closed it, reopened it, this time it moved to the first. What is the best way to find this control each time when there are are 50+ controls on the screen and they all appear in spy++ like this:
Window 0022063A "" Edit
Window 00270652 "" Edit
Window 001A0630 "" Edit
and they continue to rearrange themselves each time the application is closed and reopened?

The following code works perfectly to allow moving a control on a form at run-time. However, when AutoScroll is set to True on Form1, and you drag Button1 past the right and/or bottom bounds of the form, it goes haywire. I really need someway to smoothing control the autoscroll so that as you scroll the control off the form, the scrollbars smoothly appear.

I have a panel that has 9 pictures boxes within it. I need the User to be able to create as many instances of this control as they like.
Then each control needs to be able to move freely within the form.
I've created the control and added the appropriate code to move it around the control.
I've made the control canvas the same size of the panel. The problem is that when I move the panel, it only moves within the bounds of the control canvas. I guess I could increase the size of the canvas, but then additional controls would still only be able to move within their bounds and it would come out all wrong.
Is there anything I could do about this? Or is there a better method?

My goal is to control an application from VB.NET. There is no API, and I do not have the source, only the compiled EXE file. Is there a way to find the opened application, find a button within the application, click a button and know it was clicked? Is there a way to read the contents of a textbox within the application?

Within VB.NET, trying to find an easy way to in a sense check the check-box "Use Windows to configure my Wireless Network Settings". This is an option that forces windows to use your wireless over third-party programs that may try to steal control. I am aware this requires to have WZC enabled within services and that's something that can be easily accomplished one way or another.
I doubt or rather cannot find a proper registry value or API call to check or initiate such a task.

I need a function that returns a control within a form based on a string name. I've tried Jim's method here, but then found out that it will not work with SplitContainers. Therefore, I feel like I need to use a recursive function, or maybe a stack. I've tried many different examples online, but I can't seem to get any to work.
This is the code for the latest try, as taken from here:
Public Function FindControlRecursively(ByVal ParentControl As Control, ByVal ControlTobeSearched As String) As Control
Dim FoundControl As New Control
For Each CurrentControl As Control In ParentControl.Controls
[Code] .....
Note that the above code only seems to return a blank control.

At some point in the past, I have added a TabControl1 to my Form in design, now I can't find. I need to view it so I can make some changes. I have looked in the 'Document Outline' and is not there as well. However, the control must be somewhere because it works fine when I run the program.

I need to determine which tab the user is coming from, and going to, when they switch tabs, and possibly cancel the switch. I have tried the Deselecting, Deselected, Selecting, Selected events, and all of them show the e.TabPageIndex to be the same as the sender.SelectedIndex.
Is there an event, or property, that I can use so that I can determine both sides of this, or do I have to hack something together with caching it from one event and using that value in the new event.
I am trying to avoid handling the Deselecting/Deselected events and caching the value to use in the Selecting event. I already know I can do this, so I am asking if there is a cleaner way, without doing this.
I have tried in both C# and VB, with the same results (no surprise).

Some will remember my first thread about extracting an image from a 3rd party application. The solution that was offered was to use the Easy Screenshot class that is in the code bank.While this solution works, there are obvious drawbacks. I'm trying to fully automate this program, and needing the window to come to the foreground, even momentarily, defeats the purpose of it.Is there another way to get the image held in a picture box of a 3rd party application?

I have a datagrid control on my form that receives data from a device on the COM port. I strip out the data I need and put it into the currently selected cell. When I load the grid, I find the first empty cell and set the focus so each load presents the user with an empty cell to start receiving data. Once I get the measurement, I need to move to the next cell down (like hitting enter in the grid). This will allow the user to do measurements with the external device without having to move to the next cell.

I am trying to make a program that will include a drag/drop view where you can arrange objects around in a view and add/delete objects as needed (objects are actually controls I create dynamically), I have made some code which I include below.If I run this code it works but not the part when I click on a newly created control, then mousemove function is not used, I should be able to move controls using the mouse functions..but these do not work. I thought code like:
AddHandler logicif(i).MouseMove, AddressOf logicif_MouseMove
should work! Can anyone give me pointers on what I am missing?
Public Class Form1
Dim logicif(20) As Panel
Dim count = 0

this is an interesting problem and to be honest, I'm not sure there's a solution to it. But thought I'd ask the brain-trust here and see what comes up.I'm developing a dll that is loaded and ran within a third-party application. The third-party company provides an API to use that leverages their application's internal objects so that I can automate our processes. It's really pretty slick. They have a class object that represents the internal structure of their supported documents, appropriately titled Database. I would like to serialize the Database class using the ConfigurationConverterBase (to create a TypeConverter for conversion to and from) in conjunction with custom configuration elements and properties to store this information and retrieve when necessary. I've created the converter and all the necessary code for the custom configuration process. And it all works like a charm with one exception... the Database object does not have the Serializeable attribute applied.
Since I don't have control over the API they developed, I cannot simply add it. And since it is sealed, I cannot inherit it. This leaves me with an ugly option of converting the document to a temporary file that is a text-based version of it, then streaming it into memory before creating a binary format that can be saved into the config file. This is an ugly approach, but will get the job done.
Does anyone know how to work around the original issue for a more streamlined approach?

I have a treeview control where I am dynamically selecting a node depending on user interaction. when a node is selected I want to be able to have the scrollbar go to the location of that selected node in the tree. The scrollbar is simply made by overflow:auto in the div tag where the treeview is located. Can someone give me some detailed code to accomplish this?

I have a GridView with a button located beneath it. The GridView's height is set dynamically. When the height is set, it displays on top of the button. What I want to do is move the button down so it still displays just below the GridView when its height is changed.I know I can just set the location of the button, based on the height of the GridView, but is there a way to link the height to the location of the button? Like anchoring the button to the bottom edge of the GridView.
