I recently bought this multi-touch monitor (writing on it right now :P), and am creating an application for it. Now I need to detect which screens are touch-enabled. For example, I have the touch screen as my main monitor now, but I also have a secondary regular screen, I need the aplication to be able to detect which monitor has a touch screen, EVEN WHEN THE TOUCH SCREEN IS THE SECONDAY NONITOR!

how can I call the calibration of the touch from my application?

My touch screen keyboard is highly customizable interface and has every component I need except for sending keys, anyone see a problem with this. Originally when I was creating it I was going to use the Forms.SendKeys.Send() but it's a WPF application... no go. For starters VB.Net in its infinite wisdom decided it would not handle default form messages. Go figure.
Or perhaps, this is my real problem, I can't get the WPF application to stop getting focus. I want it to act like the windows touch keyboard, but Every action that occurs in the transparent WPF makes that application the active one. I want events to still occur but I need the active window to be the window you wish to type into, like notepad.
Any Suggestions on what I should do, to make my WPF not focusable and to send keyboard buttons to the focused (or other) window? PS, I'm using WPF in Visual Studio 2010 in Vb.Net (I can use C# Code to!)
I want to disable the funtionality of using a mouse when using a touch screen monitor in vb.net. the reason why i ask is because i want to limit users to only one option. is there a way I can code this in vb.net 2010.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to make a VB project for use on a touch screen so I require buttons that when pressed load a different image (the selected version of the image) ie. I know how to do this in HTML and CSS for use in web pages but am struggling to find out how to do it in VB.I have an image (looks like a button) that I want displayed in my form window and then when the image is clicked I want the image to swap for another image so to the user it looks like they are pressing a button.Now the standard windows button in VB (ie when you drag a "button" from the tool box) does this but I can not replicate this using my own images.
View 7 RepliesMy boss has intention to use a touch screen for a computer that run my program (written in VB 2005) in a computer with windows XP OS, to make it look sexy for our customers to see (in a cafe settings). None of us know much of touch screen at the moment. Do I have to modify my program (which currently run on usual set up with optical mouse) to run with touch screen? Can touch screen works just like a replacement for the mouse (the way bar code scanner works just as replacement of keyboard)?
View 5 RepliesNew to these forums but have been a lurker for a while. I searched through some "multiple monitors" threads but didn't find anything that fit my current issue, so I figured I'd pose it in a new thread. We have users with 4 monitor setups that are very particular about their screen settings. When we have to replace a PC for whatever reason, it is always a hassle getting their screen configurations the way they were prior to the switch. Is it possible to create a small VB app that will scan their current configuration, save a "settings" file, and re-apply the settings on the new PC? What I mean by configuration is screen resolution, setting the primary monitor, etc. Theoretically this sounds like it can be done, but I wanted some opinions on it.

I am working on a custom bulletin board system for my company. The idea is to have a program running that displays a full screen bulletin board on many monitors around our facility. I wrote a VB client that pulls from a server and displays a single board perfectly - I am wondering how to expand this.
View 10 Repliesi've managed to have the form in fullscreen.. How can it fullscreen if the computer has dual monitors?
.MaximizeBox = False
.MinimizeBox = False
.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
.WindowState = System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Maximized
I have an application that produces a form whose objects are scaled to the width and height of the primary monitor whose parameters are obtained from:
Dim ScreenWidth As Integer = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width
Dim ScreenHeight As Integer = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height
So far, the program works fine. A possible problem arises when multiple monitors are being used that do not share the same resolution. For example, if the 2nd monitor has a low resolution, then the form is cut-off.
I'd like to:
1.) determine that more than half the form has been moved to another monitor
2.) determine the resolution on the second monitor.
I suspect that the following command will give me all the dimensions that I need:
Dim ScreenWidthUsed As Array = Screen.AllScreens
In which case I just need to determine the screen that is hosting more than 1/2 the form.
Is there a way to detect screen capture or recording is processing.
Atleast a way to know the process behind screen capturing?
i guess something has to be done with Kernal side of the system but not sure.
How to create a program that detects the screen resolution and change it to 1280x800 or 1024x768? What are the computer requirements to support each of these resolutions. (I don't want for the program to request the user as programs do this especially in Windows Vista, because my program will be created for Windows Vista).

View 4 RepliesI am planning on creating a service that measures the bootup time for a computer. It would go something like this:
1. Service starts and waits for CTRL+ALT+DEL screen
2. Timer starts when logon screen appears
3. User logs in and timer stops
4. Service waits for process X to start
5. Process X starts and service gets System.Environment.TickCount
6. Service subtracts step 3 ticks from tickcount
The reason for the logon screen timer is I don't want to measure if the user booted up and went for coffee or something and shows up 20 mins later to log in. Is there any way for the service to detect when the logon screen is present and when it's gone?
I'm trying to figure out some simple code to detect when a pixel changes color anywhere on the screen. Maybe with just a msgbox popup when it changes.
View 2 RepliesI am fairly new to visual basic and have written this program to detect a change in a selected pixel on the screen. When the pixel changes, a sound plays every x seconds. It works fine but after a few hours of operation a possible memory leak causes it to either crash the program or the PC. I have watched the process and I can see 4k added to it every 4 seconds or so. Where this memory leak is coming from?
Here is the code:
Public Class Main
Public pointx As Long
Public pointy As Long
Public areaselected As Integer
Public TimeToPause, SecondTimer, changefound As Integer

View 22 RepliesBTW 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?

Is here way to make a program to send a click from PC to the iphone? So basically, what I want is when I click key �a� on my keyboard my iphone receives a click on button �a� on phone�s keyboard (lets say I know coordinates). This way I can use a key board for typing on my iphone
Something similar to this is already done, it�s called Veency, when you can control your iphone clicks by your mouse from a pc or Mac.
Veency uses wi-fi for the connection but it would be better if my program used USB port.
