VS 2010 Detecting Lid Close Change
Dec 7, 2011
I've been attempting to determine if a notebook's lid has been closed when the power setting is set to "Do Nothing."I was able to get this to work by trapping the WM_POWERBROADCAST message, but it would only work when the computer when to sleep. I've tested this on many different notebooks and the results vary. Even when changing the power settings correctly, the results were fairly inconsistent.So I posted this question in General Developer and penegate offered a possible solution.[code] I'm thinking that maybe the message I'm trapping isn't correct, but I'm not 100% sure. When I Google that message, nothing comes up. Two links appear. The one on VBF and some German site. Nothing's on MSDN.

I've been searching this for quite a while now, but I've come up with very little so far. I need to figure out how to determine when a laptop lid has been closed so an execute an action when this occurs. But the power settings will be setup to where the laptop does not go into sleep or hibernate mode.

Can someone please help me create a very very simplistic sample page as the chat page included is too coomplete. something as simple as detecting a change in the database and displaying the word "change" on screen in realtime for any client connected.and I tried creating a global.asax file into which I added in the line mentioned in the link above, but it does not seem to like the word "Setup" in the line [code]

I want to be able to isolate an area of my desktop (similar to a screen capture snip) and evaluate if it is changing. In this particalr case it is an appliacation I have (not mine) that flashes an icon upon completion
What I want to do is make a small app that will detect change when I am away and perhaps perform a specific action (the action is not relevant really - i can take care of that) Again,this is NOT hugely important, but if someone has an idea or has seen an app that does this, it would be useful for me...
I put this in the VB.NET forum because I write 75% of my code in VB.... so I chose this instead of a general area !!

I've written the following code. It works fine for creating, deleting and renaming files. However when I set a file to read only, or modify the file (i.e open it in notepad and change the contents) nothing happens (it doesn't hit the change breakpoint)
I have the following
VB.NET
Private fsw As FileSystemWatcher
Public Sub WatchFiles(ByVal tblMappings As DataSet)

I've been using 'GetScrollInfo' to find the position of the scrollbar on a ListView and I can detect when it hits the bottom of the list. Is there anyway I can raise an event when the scrollbar changes? At the moment I have it working by using a timer but I would rather if possible create an event to fire my routine.

I have implemented tab control on an existing form by using form designer and copying button from an existing vb application. my goal is to run a piece of code when a button on a tab page is sellected. How do I go about implementing this? I can detect in the code which tab page was selected but not that the button on the page is sellected.

I have a program which when a button is clicked on a form sends the form to the back, so that Notepad can open on top, then it opens up notepad
Me.SendToBack()
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("notepad.exe", myPath & "*********.txt")
Now what I want to do is to detect when the notepad has been closed then I can bring the form back to the front and I just do not know which commands to use for this to detect a program outside of VS 2010.

I am creating an application that creates scripts to move a mouse and to click where a user wishes to via pre-programmed code and to also press keys where required. I have the code to move a mouse and to manually click anywhere. What I am after is to detect when a mouse button is pressed and dragged and when keys are pressed.
I see that there is the following
MouseButtons.ToString
To detect when a mouse button is pressed, and have it looping in a timer. Is there a better way to do this? I would rather not use a timer. And is there a similar routine to detect which keys are pressed?

My Visual Basic .Net 2010 application reads data from an EXCEL spreadsheet which will be generated by my "customers". The responses to Alkis last year (23 July 2011) has been a big help and got me over a hump in my application. Now I am down to the last issue - how do I detect a blank cell? Valid data is numeric, starts at a fixed cell (A5 to be specific), and will be continuous until it ends with blank cells. While blank cells appear to print a "zero", when I try to use zero as an end criteria I get a 'System.InvalidCastException'. When I put in a specific end value (-1) in the last cell all works fine but that, of course, is an invitation to a user error.What is the difference between "Value" and "Value2" and where might I find documentation that explains the difference?

I need to create a program that can run code each time the user clicks, I can't use windows forums since its on another program. If the code can detect global mouse clicks(system wide) or only on one program it's fine.
I've done some digging and it looks like windows API can solve my problem but i really suck at using windows API and it looks like SetWindowsHookEx() can solve my problem but i don't know how to use it correctly. This is the code from Pinvoke that I modified to hopefully work for a mouse click. i'm having trouble getting this to work.
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim t As New MouseHook

I'm currently in the process of building a text editor type program, and have run into a brick wall. I haven't done VB in years, so I may just need a little reminder on some things. I have coded everything so far as far as opening files, saving them, changing fonts, colors, etc. However, I'm looking to add a Close button to my menu strip that will just close the currently opened file, and not the entire program, while also ask the user if he/she would like to save before closing the file, and then if they select yes, it will show the save dialog, and if not, it will go ahead and close the currently opened item.

I have a combo boxthat holds a list of values that are a custom object and when a value is selected a few text boxes are loaded with data. I use the SelectedIndexChanged Event. Works wonderfully.I noticed that this even is also called when a user clicks the 'x' to close the form. I just wanted to understand the logic behind that. I get that the technically index is changing since the cbobox value is being set to nothing, but to me that just seems a little inefficient.

How to declare a variable that never change from pageload until i close the page. Simple Case :
* ShowInfo.PageLoad() begins to execute for UserA.
* ShowInfo.Page_Load() begins to execute for UserB
* UserA has variable Dummy = 100.
[code]....
But the Result: Since UserB's was the last one assigned to (which remember... there is only one version of this in all of memory), the Dummy Variable is assigned for both users but different session. UserB sees Dummy = 20 but UserA sees Dummy = 20 too. I Want that the result is UserA Dummy = 100 & UserB Dummy = 20?

I have a form with the FormBorderStyle set to SizeableToolWindow. The close button - 'x' in the upper right corner - sends a DialogResult of 'cancel' to the FormClosing event when clicked. How do I set it so that it will send an 'OK'? I tried setting the form's DialogResult to 'OK' in the New method, but that's not working. I checked my code and I'm not setting it anywhere that I can see.

I am using about 5 different filesystemwatcher routines total. I am using the following
filewatch.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.CreationTime Or NotifyFilters.LastWrite
AddHandler filewatch.Created, AddressOf addfile
AddHandler filewatch.Changed, AddressOf addfile
filewatch.EnableRaisingEvents = True
However, there is one problem with it... whenever I open a file and change stuff, then close it without saving the changes, the events still fire. I am opening excel workbooks in code, then use xlsWB.Close(SaveChanges:=False) to close them, and the event still fires, where the file isn't really changed so it should not fire.
