VS 2008 Windows Welcome Screen
Oct 10, 2009
Some programs display a window, like some antivirus programs, at the windows welcome screen. This is before anybody has logged in.I want to do the same thing. I am creating a security program that can be used for maybe a library to monitor the computer and/or block webpages (That's another thread!).Anyhow, how would I be able to have my program run before anybody logs on. Would it have to be a Windows Service? How could I get it to be running in safe mode, too.

I send a message a while ago and no one answerd, how can I draw directly on the screen (not on a specific window) just on the screen, neither if it's on the desktop or anything else.Is there is any option to bring up the switch between applications window (Alt + Tab), I don't want to use sendkeys because the user need to keep the key down and I just want the user to select the application with his mouse.

I have a button btnRegEx that when pressed shows a ContextMenuStrip, similar to the '>' button in the Find/Replace dialog in Visual Studio when you are using Regular Expressions. I have a ContextMenuStrip cms which I show using its Show(x,y) method.
At first I was simply setting x and y (the location of the ContextMenuStrip) to some point next to the button, but I noticed that when the button is close to the edge of the screen it goes off screen. I wanted to prevent that so I built some logic into the x-y calculation. When the ContextMenuStrip width is larger than the 'remaining space left' I simply show it more to the left. Same for its Height of course. I am using the Screen.GetWorkingArea(point) method to determine the 'remaining space left'. As I understand it, it returns the working area closest to the point you specify (to which I pass the button's location).
As long as I stay on my first monitor, it is all working perfectly fine. The problem occurs when I move the form to my second monitor. The contextmenustrip is still showing on the first monitor for some reason...
Here is the code I am using:
vb.net Private Sub btnRegEx_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRegEx.Click
Dim p As Point = PointToScreen(New Point(btnRegEx.Left, btnRegEx.Top))
Dim x, y As Integer
[CODE]...
I have noticed that when I click the button when the form is on the second monitor, the buttons location (p) is calculated with the first monitor's top-left corner as (0,0), even though it is on the second monitor. This way, the GetWorkingArea function returns something like 1280, while the buttons x-location is something like 1700... So, how do I get the buttons coordinate relative to the actual screen it is on, rather than the entire dual monitor screens as a whole?

BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?

I am writing a simple password self service app that allows users to change their password and unlock their accounts. My last step is to figure out how to get it on the login screen. Basically so users can run it before logging in (necessary because this
is to help if their passwod is lost or account disabled). I've seen screenshots of commercial apps putting it on this screen and/or the actual login box (like in XP) but I cant find any information on how to do this.

At the moment when i run my form1.vb program it runs in the top left of my screen, when i save it as an application and then open it from a shortcut will it still do this or will it open in the centre of the screen? In the designer it is in the top left of the screen, is there a way to move it here? as my assumption (which is probably wrong) is that the position it is in the designer is the position it is as an application? Is that right? and if it is how to i change the position in the designer?

We are running XP workstations in an Active Directory domain. I used gpedit.msc to setup a startup script that launchs Spy++. This works, and just before the login screen comes up, Spy++ pops up. The only problem is, the Spy++ window then goes away just before the login window loads.
I want to use Spy++ to find the attributes of the XP (Active Directory) login window. Is there a way to do this?

I have an application than disables the screen saver temporarily in order to run a slide show. I use this to turn it on or off:
i = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE, active, Nothing, SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE)
This works fine in XP. In Windows 7, it disables the screen saver properly. However, when it is enabled again, at the normal time for the screen saver to come on, the system asks for a password instead of showing the screen saver.From this time on until the screen saver settings are adjusted in the control panel, the password screen is displayed in place of the screen saver.Is there something else I should be doing for Windows 7? I understand that SPI_GETSCREENSAVEACTIVE is not supported in Windows 7, but SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE is supposed to be.

I have a windows form with nothing more than 4 picture boxes on there and a button. How (if even possible) can I show this page in full screen mode but at the same time allow each control on the form to format and resize in proportion.The best analogy I can give to describe what I want is when thinking about PowerPoint. When you create a slide and then press the F5 button to go into slideshow mode, no matter what size monitor or resolution you use, it always fills up the screen appropriately.

After running the following code (which locks the computer), what code must I be applying to see if the user has successfully logged into the computer and that "Lock Screen" I'd so called has disappeared?
Private Declare Function LockWorkStation Lib "user32.dll" () As Long
Private Function LockComputer()
LockWorkStation()
End Function
I will call "LockComputer", after that what do I do to see if the Lock screen so called by this function (after say 2 minutes) has disappeared or is still there asking for the password from the user.
