View 1 RepliesI have a 3rd party program that puts up a pop up box and asks the user for input. In Spy++ the original program (I'll refer to this as Window A from now on) is a top level window, and the popup (Window B) is also a parent window. However, when I use FindWindow(Nothing, "Captcha Challenge") it returns 0. I've also used a code snippet from the forums

View 3 RepliesI was wondering if it is possible in VB8 to create a GUI that over-lays over a full-screen application (IE, a movie full screen, games or something that takes over the entire screen)
What I want to know is it possible to be watching a movie and click a button and without minimizing or losing focus on the movie a GUI is displayed. This could be handy in many ways to me to create say.. a clock that I can display so I don't have to minimize etc. to check.
I don't want to interact with the GUI, just display it!

How would i get the X and Y of the desktop and place it on a picture box
lets say my screen is 500 x 500(EXAMPLE)
I want my application to get the full (500 x 500) X and Y and an image of the desktop
Then place the X and Y To the picture box. Like this. Now the cords match when mouse is at lets say 100,100 on the picture. It will be 100, 100 on desktop.
I searched the forums to look for an answer and I found several good exemples, but unfortunately, none worked for me..I want to make a little program to read an Edit field on another window. I understand the basic. I need to get the handle of the main window (using FindWindow) and then find the handle of the Edit field (Using FindWindowEx). So far, so good... I think I managed to get those two correctly doing:
Declare Auto Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal strClassName As String, ByVal strWindowText As String) As Long Declare Auto Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd1 As Long, ByVal hWnd2 As Long, ByVal lpsz1 As String, ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Long
Dim hWindow, hText As Long
hWindow = FindWindow("", "Text")
hText = FindWindowEx(hWindow, 0, "Edit", vbNullString)
(Yes the window title is Text :P). Ok now when I do a MsgBox(hText) it does show a long number (not 0) so I believe it found the Edit field (but I'm not so sure on how to verify if it's the right number... tried Spy++ with no luck).Now, this is where I'm stuck. I know I have to use SendMessage() with WM_GETTEXTLENGTH and WM_GETTEXT which I tried maybe in 100 different ways and none of them worked. I either got an OverflowException or my String would stay empty.

View 2 RepliesI have a VB.NET application that uses Managed DirectSound to capture audio.Everything works just fine until (a) the application is minimized or (b) the application is completey obstructed (covered) by another window.
The thing is that the CaptureBufferDescription structure does not include a GlobalFocus property so I don't know what to do to let my application continue capturing when the main window is hidden.
Here's the basic initialization code I'm using:

border of that said window so the only place the mouse can't click the titlebar and the minimize,restore, and maximize button. The height of the titlebar depends on what OS the user is using so I'm having trouble because I can't give a definite value for this. How do I detect the height. and also for border i'm not sure if the borders have different widths with different operating systems. I'm using windows XP on classic mode, when I change to the themed mode, the height of the title bar changes so it won't work.
