View 1 RepliesRead The Full Title Of Such A Screen If I Bring It Into Focus?
Sep 1, 2011I can use appactivate to bring forward a screen on another program if I know it's title (or at least part of it's title). Is there a way I can read the full title of such a screen if I bring it into focus? e.g I have a screen from another program which says "Patient Mrs Smith". I can bring it to the front by doing an appactivate from my VB prog and calling appactivate("Patient"). Is there a way that I can find out the full title from my VB program?

Using System.Windows.Forms.TabPage To Store An Entire TabPage For Later Use?
Jan 8, 2009I am using System.Windows.Forms.TabPage to store an entire TabPage for later use in My.Settings. Here is a brief description of the application.
I have a TabControl that has 3 tabs. One for user input, another tab for equipment settings, and then a final tab for Oven settings. On the user input tab, if the user de-selects the checkbox for Oven, the oven tab is saved to My.Settings and hidden.
I can then run the application without oven control. After running, lets say the user would like to re-run, this time with the oven. They go back to the input tab and re-select the Oven checkbox. However, the Oven tab doesn't re-appear. When stepping through the code, the is nothing stored in My.Settings for the oven tab page. Why not?
Also, I can open the application, and check, then uncheck the oven checkbox and the tab is hidden, then returns. I can do this all day. However, after running the tab will not return.

VS 2008 - Maximize And Bring To Front IDE Of Another App
Aug 27, 2010I have an application of which only 1 instance can run at the same time. Thus in the StartUp event I check for this to be true, and if not close the new instance started. At the same time though I'd like the application to switch automatically to the instance already running. By finding the processid of that instance and using appactivate this is working properly, except when the instance already running is minimized. It then switches to it, but since the instance is minimized, its ide will not show.
I need to use something like sendmessage, but am not able to find how.
-Since I already have the processid, could someone tell me how to use code to maximize and bring to the front the ide of another currenly minimized application?

Exit Grid With Ctrl-TAB When Grid Is On A Tabpage (onkeydown Works When Grid Not On Tabpage)?

[Code]...
This works fine. But when the grid is dropped on a TabControl tabpage, the ctrl-tab looks very different to the sub above. e.keycode is seen as controlkey {17} I realize that by default cntrl-Tab moves between tabpages. I need to override this behavior. My thought is I probably need a subclass of the tabControl which will pass the keycombo through just as the form does but I confess to being clueless as to how to accomplish that. I tried to override the onkeydown of a tabcontrol subclass and just issuing a return and not and base call to onkeydown if the ctrl-tab combo was pressed but it seemed to see the e.keycode as controlkey as well.

Forms :: Changing The Backcolor Of A Control When It Has Focus And Lost Focus?
Feb 16, 2011Is there a more efficient/easier way changing the backcolor of a control when it has focus and lost focus? Let's say I've got 10 text boxes. Right now I would have 20 different events...10 for Enter event and 10 for Leave event. Of course, entering would change the back color to "green" and leaving would change it back to "white".

View 1 RepliesForms :: Form Losing Focus - Keeps Loosing Focus ?
Nov 26, 2009I have two forms in an application. One is he background and then I show another keypad form called with the show() method (not showDialog) because I need to perform some validations on btn click.
The kepad has 10 buttons and an Enter Button. The problem is that the form keeps loosing focus (I checked this with a messagebox which keeps poping up once for focus=true and again for focus=false, it continuously keeps losing and gaining focus) so it does not process any keypress events untill i click somewhere on the form. I tried using me.focus() in form load event but to no avail. The forms TopMost property is also set to true.

View 3 RepliesLost Focus Event, What Control Is Getting Focus?
Mar 21, 2012I have a textbox on a form that when it loses focus it updates other text boxes on the form. But before it updates the other textboxes I check the input value in the textbox lostfocus event if it is undesired I return focus to the the textbox and alert the the user with a msgbox. However where my problem is, is that when the cancel button is clicked I don't care what the input in the textbox is because the changes are being canceled but if the value is undesired the it keeps returning focus to the textbox instead of canceling the changes. Is there a way to see what control was clicked on before or in the lost focus event? Can't seem to figure it out tried enter and leave events but no luck!
So for example something like this...
Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.LostFocus
If Control that was clicked <> btnCancel then
