I'm using a barcode reader which emulates a keyboard with swedish layout. I'm using RegisterRawInputDevices to create a lowlevel hook, catching windows messages and checking which device that sent the keyboard input. If it's the barcodereader, I would like to store the input. I receive the key input one by one in this class - how do I translate this into a string? If the character to be sent is an #, then the keys sent are Shift+3.
I'm trying to extract the icon from a shortcut (lnk file), but I end up with the shortcut symbol in the lower-left hand corner of the image. How can I extract a shortcut's icon without this symbol?
Here's the code I'm using:
Dim ico As System.Drawing.Icon = System.Drawing.Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon("C:shortcut.lnk")
Iv'e got a label with the text property set to "Na&me" so Alt M should be set to do something when pressed, I want the focus to got into the NameTxt box?
I am trying to create a shortuct key that when you press alt-enter together it will make the media player control full screen. I tried adding the following code to the onkeypress event of the media player control but it didn't work. How can you make shortcut keys?
If e.nKeyAscii = Keys.Alt And e.nKeyAscii = Keys.Enter Then mediaPlayer.fullScreen = True End If
I'm developing a relatively quick-and-dirty approach to copying some files over. The situation is that I have a point on the network where a master directory is located. This directory includes the official directory structure as well as all official files. The user's local machine should have a place in their C:Program Files directory that has the exact same directory structure.
If it doesn't, the application should create it and copy files over based on the network master. If the user's local machine does have the appropriate folders in place, then any newer files found in the network master directory should be copied over to update the user's local files. It seems to me that this would require knowledge of the root directories up to the point of the network master and the same for the local directory.
At first glance, this looks to be a bit more complicated to accomplish than I was thinking it should be. Are there any shortcuts to using say the Directory/DirectoryInfo, File/FileInfo classes, etc that would allow this to be accomplished? I'm trying not to overcomplicate it as I need to get something out pretty quick. But the answer just doesn't seem to be showing itself.
I have a program which when you press a button it minimises to a notifyicon in the system tray then you right click to bring up a contextmenu which allows it to be maximised again. What I want to do is add a shortcut, ctrl+shift+P for example so when that's pressed the program maximises again. But at the moment the only shortcut I can get to work involves right clicking the notifyicon before it works?

I need to capture what keys the user presses and put it in a textbox. However, I need to capture multiple combination. For instance, if the user presses (and briefly holds) SHIFT and 1 (number one) the text box should say "SHIFT + 1." I also want "real time" capturing, meaning as the user presses the keys the value changes.
How can I get all the names of the shortcuts icons in the desktop into a String? Like: Computer, Microsoft Office Word 2003, Internet Explorer....etz. I tried to use "My.Computer.FileSystem..." , but didn't find a way.
So I'm getting annoyed with this ffriend of min that keeps on asking for code off me for a VB assignemnt. Now I'd like to give him some code, but not the right code, (play a joke on him...he...he..). So thats the reason I'd like to write a infinite loop program for Internet Explorer. Would such Visual Basic program be possible?
I'm not going to write anything epic, but probably just the event handler to a button that keeps uploading internet explorer on a infinite loop after clicking. I know morally, this is wrong. I would rather be an ass than a lazy bastard.
I'm trying to build an application that when I press a keyboard shortcut, say CTRL + ~, if the window is minimized to the system tray it is displayed.
I have seen a few programs do this and have always wondered how to do this, but haven't had the opportunity to do learn it until now and I really don't know if its something simple or complex.
I'm creating a shortcut with my application, and its working successfully, except that the "Target" line is being cut off. Not all the arguments are listed. When I run the target application of this shortcut using process.start and these arguments, it runs fine. Is this simply a limitation of the "Target" textbox? Is it simply not displaying all the arguments, or is it functionally limited in this way?EDIT: I have determined that it is simply not displaying the full string, but seems to work correctly. I would still like to fix this somehow, but if not, not a big deal.There are 259 characters in the textbox, including spaces. Doesn't seem like a significant number to me.Here is the code, but it doesn't really matter, it is working fine:
how i can write a program to create a shortcut in the startup folder of a different program. So i have one program on my computer that should run at startup, i just need another program to create a shortcut to it, and then copy this shortcut into the startup folder.
I have a context menu, and for one of the menu items, I would like to use F5 as the shortcut key. It seems, however, that I must use a modifier key to get it to work, but I don't want to use a modifier. I just want it to be F5.
So here is the question if the mapped drive path is different every time depending on how the user maps the share how can I tell VB to find the path to myapp.exe ?
I have an vb.net application. For this application there are 4 users. so for this 4 users different user names will be there Also users will have the different shortcut icons(from the base exe they created 4 shortcut and renames themselves.) As soon as they click on ok button in login form i am storing the details in registry. if they restared the application, login form will show the last user name(which is stored in registry). Here the requirement is user1 should not get user2 username when he login. Here I have to store the login information of every users in registry separately and if user1 is clicking the shorcut of my application(i.e clicking on shortcut of MyApp.exe) then he should get his details. Here i can differentiate by using which shortcut icon is clicked. Based on that name i can say this user is trying to log and i have to show his user name in login form username textbox.[code]...
