View 2 RepliesI create an app, with it when I click a button it opens a new form on a second monitor.
This works perfectly, but every first time the app start and I open the second form, on my primary screen (right side) I see the border of the second form. When I click the button again, the form is hidden, and when I click it again, it appears again but then the border is gone. What I want is that the border is gone the first time and never appears.
Here is the code I have on the button_click event:
Private Sub RadButton3_click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadButton3.click
If screen.AllScreens.Length > 1 Then
If Me.RadButton3.ButtonElement.ButtonFillElement.BackColor = Color.Orange Then

I need to take a snapshot of a form which is not necessarily visible on the screen. I need to save that into a Bitmap object. I cannot use Graphics.CopyFromScreen() because if there was anything obstructing the form, it will appear in the snapshot taken.
View 6 RepliesI am trying to code something that will check if a png image is visible on your screen. So lets say the image is a purple square with yellow circles in it (random example). It will keep checking to see if the same purple square with yellow circles is on your screen. What I'm trying to say is, instead of checking for one pixel color, check to see if the actual image is on there (maybe multiple pixels?)
View 10 RepliesAfter 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.
I need to print a windows form which contains radio buttons, checkboxes, and other controls.
Printform doesn't work - even with the scrollable option it only prints the visible screen.
The PrintDocument doesn't work, because I can't add controls to it.
I can't capture the screen image, because the form occupies more than the visible screen.
When I call PrintForm1.Print(Me, PowerPacks.Printing.PrintForm.PrintOption.Scrollable)Only the visible portion of the screen is printed.What else do I need to dobill
View 5 RepliesI have two timers in my application. One that updates some text label every 100 ms, and another one which makes the text scroll to the left. Both timers are working fine, however,if Timer2 is enabled i get some problems while playing fullscreen video in VLC. Usually the mouse dissapears when running full screen and leaving the mouse, but if my program is running (and therefore Timer2 is enabled) the mouse wont dissapear. If i go disable Timer2 theres no problems.. I just dont understand why it is only Timer2 that does this and why timer one doesn't affect VLC? Timer1 and Timer2's code is below
vb.net
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

View 4 Replies1. Just looking for some general help on how to auto update my application via a file location path (e.g. I have a HTML file containing the current file version and the .exe file to download)
What I need is to read in the HTML file version - DONE Check file version vs HTML file stream input - DONE Replace current .exe file with new .exe file - HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS
I know I have to close the application and then replace the old exe file with the new exe file then restart the application but looking for the best/safest way this can be done
2. Basically what I want is during my Splash screen which runs for 5 seconds I want to check if a network drive is mapped.

I have a form which contains the following :
1. Textbox1
2. Button1
3. Label1
Label1.Text = "Updated Successfully"
Label1.Visible = False
Now what I want to do is, when I Enter something on Textbox1 and click Button1, Label1 should be visible and blinking.
Label1.Visible = True
But, when I type something on Textbox1 again (before even hitting Button1), Label1 should not be visible anymore and continues this way.Another way is to make Label1 visible for a specific time, say 5 seconds (blinking) and goes invisible. I prefer the first one though I would love to learn both?

View 2 RepliesI've got a panel - that's in a group box. All of this - with lots of other textboxes on labels - is in another panel (the big panel).I make the big panel visible and not visible based on selections made by the user.This small panel - that's in the group box. I cannot seem to make it appear.Even if I leave it VISIBLE at design time - the objects in it will not appear.Is there some kind of nesting problem that I'm not aware of!

View 1 RepliesI made this splash screen and since I just started working on my project, the app takes less than two seconds to load and the time for splash screen is not enough? I have tried to put System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)but where? I put it in the code of the splash screen, then it waits 5 seconds before showing the splashscreen and I put it in the main program, then the splash screen is out THEN it waits 5 seconds after the splash screen is gone then it loads.
View 17 RepliesI'm having an odd problem when making a form visible and not visible and it not continuing to function. Here is what I have happening. I have a main form (frmMain) that is an MDIParent. On this form I have a menu to open a second form (frmCalculate) and populate a listview from Items in the database.
As I click or select items in the listview on frmCalculate the tag is read and data is pulled based on the id stored in that tag and fills in various fields on the form. This works great. However, I also have a context menu attached to the listview that allows me to perform a "what if" scenerio on the items I am calculating. When I select this menu, I hide the frmCalculate and open the frmWhatIf form where I can mess around with values on the item I had hilighted in the listview on frmCalculate. Nothing is pulled from or written back to the database here, all the information is filled in from fields on frmCalculate. It just allows me to look at rising costs and how they will affect my margins.... anyway.
If I then close frmWhatIf, it brings my frmCalculate back by setting its visible propery to true (never closed frmCalculate, just hid it). At this point if I click an item in the listview I get an exception for a null reference. IF however I never hide frmCalculate, I can open and close frmWhatIF without ever having an issue. Why do I lose the functionality to select items just by hiding and unhiding the form? As a test I added two menus to the toolbar on frmMain one called hide and one called show. I then opened frmCalculate with original menu item to populate the listview and selected a few items to test that it was working and then using the hide menu I made the form invisible and the show button to bring it back. This yielded the same exception so without even opening frmWhatIf the problem still occurs.
I was thinking of adding a simple bandwidth monitor to a console application and I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a line in the console window visible at all times. I could set something up manually to pass new console output into a method that would get the contents of the console, clear the console, add the bandwidth data on the first row, then rewrite each line of previous information back to the console, etc.. but that seems like a really hacky way to go about it, and I'd be limited to the amount of rows visible at once in the console window (no scrolling).

How can I read a textbox.text value when the textbox is not visible. This is a textbox that has been pulled on the form from a dataset. When it is visible it is fine. When I make the textbox.visible = False it no longer reads that value.
