View 12 Repliescurrently my VB Skills aren't so good so bare with me here. application to be able to send keystrokes to another without having it popup. Like it should remain minimized, it shouldn't interfere with whatever you are doing on your PC while it sends the strokes. I received this request from some one else to do.

View 4 RepliesI have a vb.net program created in VS2008, winforms/desktop application. I have it on a timer event so that every 4 hours it rins some actions. When I minimize the application ot the system tray...after a seemingly random period of time....it will not maximize. It acts frozen however the program still runs and the timer events usually fire on time. I just can't get the main form back up to see the menus and interface with the program. I have tried doevents, refresh, getfocus etc... nothing seems to make it refresh.

View 6 RepliesI have an application I run on a netbook that is folded up inside a robot.Occasionally, something from the system tray will pop up unexpectedly. This removes the focus from my application I also thought there was a way (in forms properties in the vb6 days) that would allow to "run when minimized"? In short, I want this application to be running and nothing (asides an application error message) else getting in the way.

View 2 RepliesWe run a CRM package and one of the features that it lacks is the ability to Date and Time Stamp when someone updates an activity. I was wondering if it would be possible to write a vb.net application that would start minimized to the system tray and then assign a hotkey to this app, for example CTRL Shift and K, that would paste a date time stamp into what ever application was focused at the time.

View 11 RepliesHow can I make my application request elevation privileges on startup? Basically I want the UAC prompt to appear on startup, rather than while the application is running. Currently I have a separate updater application which is launched from the main application, and it requires a UAC prompt to start. Instead, I'd like it to ask before the main application has started - a more streamlined process.

I have a VB application in .NET Framework 2.0 and I'm using VS 2008 Professional for development. The application is running without any problem on some PCs and it's not running on one of the PCs. To make sure that nothing is wrong with the that specific PC, I tried to reproduce the issue on my machine. So I formatted my PC and reinstalled everything. After installing .NET Framework and required drivers, the ran the application i got the same error. Then I installed VS 2008 and open the project to debug my code and then I realized that the exception is being thrown on this line:
