VS 2010 'hook' The Taskbar And Be Able To Rearrange The Buttons?
Nov 6, 2009
I have several windows open: VB, IE, Explorer... If I happen to close one accidentally, or on purpose, and reopen it, the buttons on the task bar are all messed up. I get used to them one way and I am constantly switching between the windows.Here is my question: Would I be able, in VB, to 'hook' the taskbar and be able to rearrange the buttons?I have no idea what to search for in Google. I happened upon a program once a while back, A REAL LIFE SAVER!. I could just click and drag the buttons using that one.
I have a form with a large GroupBox on it. Inside there are a total of 22 buttons, arranged in two columns of 11. These buttons are basically shortcuts that can be defined by the user. I would like to allow the user to rearrange these buttons by some simple means. (Drag and Drop being ideal.) I have the following code, which allows me to drag the buttons around:
I have the hwnd of every application active on the desktop and the index of them own taskbar buttons (hwnd1 ==> button index= 1 ; hwnd2 ===> button index = 3 etc etc)
I whould like to press the buttons to activate the applications by VB.net code
I have tried several kind of SetForegroundWindow code found on the web, but the code not always works... often only I obtain to flash incessantly the buttons.
I have tried several kinf of SendMessage code found on the web... no one works.
To simulate the Alt+Tab keys is not a good idea, because appears for some istants the alt+tab window..
How do I rearrange the Settings in VB.Net 2010 to be near the ones they are related to?I edited the app.config file to rearrange them, but when VB loaded again they were still shown in the old order.
I want to make a deskband app that displays some text and buttons like windows media player when minimized on taskbar. What is the necessary imports / dll i need to use ?
almost perfectly works to disable specific keys. but 1problem. for example : checkbox1 checked and then press button1 L win key disable its okey.but then i press button2 to active keys and press again button1.this time not working disabling keys.
I have a program that u record your clicks then you press a button (Ctrl + E) then it plays them back. What I want is for Ctrl+E to stop them, It would work but it seems like its being overpowered by the mousemoving and clicking. The keyhook did already work before I started on the playback part.

I use a program called Taskix that allows me to grab a button on a taskbar (for programs that are active) and drag it to reorder them. So the functionality exists somewhere, but most obviously through some sort of API.
What I want to do is allow my users to choose if they want a particular window in my program to sort itself to the beginning or end of the taskbar list. I know I want it because I would prefer this particular window to be in front of my opened windows whenever I make it visible.
where I might be able to access an API function that accomplishes this? Finding something like this on Google has proven to be fruitless; for me at least.
This was the code and this is the thread HERE Ok its working and everything but when i want to perform something when click is noticed it says i cant cross-threads
I'm using code from here - [URL]. And I'm getting the old A call to PInvoke function 'EliteSwitch!EliteSwitch.MouseHook::CallNextHookEx' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature. Error on this line Return CallNextHookEx(MouseHook, nCode, wParam, lParam) I've tried changing variable types but I can't get it.
I have a form in an application I'm working on that normally displays full screen without a taskbar but provide the option to switch to a minimizable window with a taskbar. When I switch from full screen without taskbar to minimizable window with taskbar everything is ok. When I try to switch back to full screen the border disappears but the taskbar is still there and the form is not aligned properly.The text at the top is cut off somewhat and there's a small margin at the right edge that shouldn't be there.I put this code in a keydown event for the form.
If Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None Then Me.ControlBox = True Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.Sizable[code]....
How do I get the taskbar to disappear and the form to display properly when I return to the full screen mode?
I m working on a windows application using VB.NET. Using borderless forms. Can anybody tell me how to minimize / restore that application by clicking from taskbar. (I already added minimize button into the form) but also want the functionality from taskbar.
I'm making a security program that locks the users screen. I have already figured out how to disable task manager but now I need to disable the task bar from showing and the start menu. Also, trying to do an event on alt+F4 doesn't seem to stop the program from exiting. Any other solutions? This program is intended for security reasons and I am not using it for any viruses.
For my own personal use, I'd like to code an app that disables the icon on the upper left of the window titlebars and in the taskbar of ms windows. This is how it should look when it's done: [URL] (this little autohotkey script is broken in win 7). Is this is feasable in vb? If yes, how do I communicate with the win os? Maybe get a list of active windows and redraw them and the taskbar after replacing their icon by a blank one in memory?
I've created a form that plays some internet radio. The thing is the user wants an extra form for volume control that is docked to the side of the main form. This is no problem, i've made that, but im having some trouble making this form shown at the same time as the main form.In short what i want is that when you set focus on form1, form2 should also get in the foreground. Not focused, it should just follow form1
The GetAsyncKeyState Api does'nt recognizes the mouse wheel rotation, I see.Is there way to control the mouse wheel rotation (always, not only when the pointer is over a form of mine) with a simple API, without to Hook the mouse?
Do you understand what I mean? For each two characters, the numerical character swapping place with the following letter, i.e. from 1a change it to a1.how to rearrange the numerical characters and letters in the string? My string always has the said pattern, i.e. one integer then followed by a letter then followed by a integer then followed by a letter and so on.

How do I allow users to drag/drop or rearrange tabs, like in mozilla and IE?I've managed to extend the tabcontrol properties a little but i cant get the dodragdrop method to work....
I have a tabcontrol on my form, but I created the tabpages in the wrong order. I tried dragging and dropping the tabpages but that didn't work. How do I rearrange my tabpages?
One of my friends has suggested that in my program i give users the ability to, when holding the Alt key,rearrange tabs in a TabControl when dragging the mouse. But im stumped as to how to do this.
I have a piece of software with two tabs, inside each tab there are buttons (the user can add the buttons when they want). when tab1 is full tab2 should start to fill. I currently know how many buttons fit on the screen so I just say something like if buttons > 150 then start to populate tab 2 The problem i have now though is if the resolution is changed then a different amount of buttons can be displayed. so if I put my screen to 1280x720 some buttons are left of. I was thinking of detecting the resolution and then using different cases for different resolutions but this seems very inefficient im wondering if there is a different way?
I have made an app which has id and name and class and tel fields using sql2005 database I made ID field as primery key so when i delete record from table it doesnt rearange it self for example I added record number
