VS 2010 Allow No "activity" Outside Of A Form?

Jun 16, 2011

I was wondering how you would go about making it so that, whenever you have a form open, or showing, that it won't allow any other clicks outside of the form content. Kind of like when a critical windows error shows up, and you can't do anything on your computer, until you press the "Ok" button to get rid of that popup message first.

How would you do that with a form?

Let's call it Form 1 and form 2 for example. I have form 1 as a default for when the application starts, but when I want form 2 to show, I want the user to have to deal with that form first before they can do anything else on their computer.

Display NIC Activity In A Form?

Jul 22, 2009

I'm in the process of creating a tool that allows users to download stuff from a LAN server. The progress of the download is now being shown as a progress bar that performs a step each time a file is downloaded.

But if the file is a large file (Let's say a 2 GB file) it'll take a while before the progressbar performs a step and the user might think the tool froze up and close it. Now i'm wondering if there's a way to show the activity on the NICs installed. Something like when you open up task manager and go to the "Networking" tab. Showing it as a graph would be awesome or just a percentage is good aswell I have NO idea where I should start looking..

Winforms - Making A Form Halt Other Program Activity Like A Messagebox

Feb 29, 2012

I want to create a custom form (in visual basic .NET) that will stop other process responsiveness until the form is acknowledged. It would be a nice bonus if I can add a beep when trying to access the main program UI while this form is displayed as well (like how a messagebox does).

Determine When App Has Had Any Activity?

Nov 11, 2011

Does anyone know of a way to detect recent activity in a VB.net windows forms application?

We have a retail store where users share floor computers, the application will be on each machine and require a log in before use. I am trying to find a way to automatically close the application if it has been idle for lets say 10 minutes.

I guess I could do something similar with the current windows log on session - set a gp that logs the user out after 10 minutes of inactivity - but if there is an easy, non memory intensive way to do it in vb.net i would rather use that method

IDE :: Exception Error During Long Activity?

May 18, 2009

I'm developing a utility that will look through Active Directory and find anyone that hasn't logged in 90, 120, 180, 365 days. Between what I know and researched on here I've pieced together code that works part of the time. When I LDAP a container with approx 2000 or less user objects it will work, but when I LDAP the entire directory it loops through approx 60,000 user objects.Part of the way through it returns the following warning:

ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected Message: The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x4dbc88 to COM context 0x4dbdf8 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations.

When I tell it to continue it goes a little further before finally hitting a OutOfMemory Exception:

Monitor Drive Activity In 2008?

Tracking Full Browser Activity

Sep 24, 2011

I want to have a VB.Net windows application that monitors the page, and when it detects certain events it triggers some actions based on the data in the page. I've been searching like crazy for some mechanism to "hook" into the browser and hopefully inspect the messages transmitted for the application to know how to react.I've seen the SHDocVw COM object, which comes very close. But when I use the BeforeNavigate2 event, it only seems to fire for GETs, and once I'm on the page where the information is displayed/refreshed the event is not raised.Short of reverse engineering the page, or having to write some kind of proxy...is there a good way to do this in VB.Net?

C# - Which Design Pattern For Activity Logging (Audit Trailing)

Jun 15, 2012

I have a winform which allows people to edit data from a database, to simplify things assume there is a Customer table in database with 3 fields - Name, City, Country. Through winform(s) people can Add/Edit/Delete customers.For each of these actions we need to save:

What the field names are (Name,City,Country in this case)What the field values were before they were modified What the field values are after they are modified.If the action is Add or Delete then 2 and 3 will be the same.I have already implemented this using XMLSerialisation (but not using any of the design patterns) and my XML output looks like this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ActivityItem xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<UserID>26</UserID>
<FormTitle>frmCustomer</FormTitle>

[code]....

The solution can handle different areas of the system with different number of fields (i.e the same thing works when you are modifying Products for instance).is there a well defined design pattern to deal with this kind of behavior?

Force A User To Log Back Into To An Application If No Activity Is Detected For X Minutes?

Apr 22, 2010

I would like to try and implement a feature wherby once you have logged into an application (straightforward winforms application) and had your credetials verified the application would then force you to log on again if no activity had been detected in the application for a certain number of minutes. In essence I want to provide some extra security for those occasions when users get up and wander away from their machines for prolonged periods.

I have all the logic for logging into the application, it's just the checking for no activity over a given period and then forcing the user to log back in again that I'm not having much luck with.

Cancel The Delete Activity From Within The Delete Click Event?

It appears that the row gets marked for deletion after my BindingNavigatorDeleteItem_Click event handler is processed. Is there no way to cancel the delete activity from within the delete click event? If not, then it becomes necessary to store a delete flag and catch another event to RejectChanges.

Now here are the two things I cannot manage:I can use a directory to read the template pdf "untitled1.pdf". But my aim is to use the file inside my resources. can save the output file in a directory but this is not I want to do. I want to display the output pdf.
