VS 2010 Disable The Capslock Key?
Apr 7, 2011
I Just finished a very nice Excel database front end, using mostly code snippets and tutorials learned from this site, I am new to .net and OOP having only ever trained in VB6, many many years ago and working only with VBA since then, and now I'd like to add a little extra polish to my humble app, so I need some expert help.
The problem really lies with one user in particular, who insists on typing with the capslock on when using my application, filling the database with odd records of only uppercase, when challenged she protests she isn't computer savvy and finds capitals quicker and easier.
I am aware of the string conversion tricks (ToUpper/ToLower/ToProper) available, however, due to the nature of the information being entered, it needs to be true mixed case, certain information might contain for example brand names, which often have uppercase/lowercase letters which vb or Excel for that matter simply cannot pragmatically account for (McDonalds is a good example, neither upper, lower or 'proper' as defined by the rules)
And so to my cunning plan, it is my desire to disable the capslock key! I am already setting a set of rules for each user based on Environment.UserName and so I am hoping just for this one user I can switch off the ability to use caps, as everyone else behaves themselves. I have tried to code me own way down this path but as yet have failed on all accounts.

I am confused what will happen, when I disable a timer. Will it finish the process and then disable or will it immediately disable without completing process? for example
[Code]....
I want to run getMessage from somewhere else, so I need to disable timer during that time to be asured not to override anything and also before timer disable it should complete that function code.

I've read many posts about disabling Alt+Ctrl+Del and Ctrl+Tab, etc. I'm not looking to do that. What I'm trying to do is create an app which will be hidden, and then need to be unhidden from "anywhere." For example, if I have an Excel spreadsheet open, I want to be able to use a combo like Ctrl+U to Unhide my program, but I do NOT want it to underline the text in the cell I'm currently in (which Excel will normally do). I don't want to worry about disabling or changing shortcut combinations for Excel, Word, etc.

While creating test in vb.net i found it pretty annoying when you start typing and autocompleet changes a class to something similar looking even it is a class you don't want. Image to illustrate : In the picture you can see I am trying to setup a controller (this controller does not exist at the moment) so when i press the spacebar i will get DienstControllerFacts.How do you disable this sort of auto-correction?

When I'm coding in Visual Studio 2010, say that I have some interface:
Namespace Some.Huge.Terrible.Namespace.Adhering.To.Company.Standards
Public Interface MyInterface
...
Property SomeThing as String
...
End Interface
End Namespace
And a class:
Public Class CoolThings
Implements MyInterface
When I hit Enter after MyInterface, Visual Studio will put
Property SomeThing as String Implements Some.Huge.Terrible.Namespace.Adhering.To.Company.Standards.MyInterface.SomeThing
I would like it to, instead, simply put:
Property SomeThing as String Implements MyInterface.SomeThing
It does the same thing for all methods, etc. that I have to implement and it's mildly annoying to either have to look at a stupidly long reference, or clean it all up since I'm importing the namespace at the top of my class anyway. Is there a setting in Visual Studio that I can use to switch that?

Is there a way to disable the default members and methods inherited from the base class?
I made some classes in which elements like "Equals" and "ReferenceEquals" are confusing or I don't want them to show, or I have other methods providing similar functionality with different names and I don't want to override and use the default name.

I created a presentation which runs in kiosk mode as a PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Show. Now the problem is, that the presentation resets itself to slide one if there is no user input for 5 minutes. How do I disable this feature?
I am using Powerpoint 2010 (Version 14.0.6112.500 (32-bit))On a side note: I already found an Add-In (KioskAssistant) which enables me to increase the time before the slide is reset. But this change is only done locally for my machine and not saved into the presentation itself. So this not a sufficient enough solution if I want to ship my presentation to my client

I don't have any idea if it is possible and how can I code it.I have created an application that needs to run on a non-administrator account on windows 7. It won't run if the PC goes sleep/ locked/ hybernate/ on-screensaver. So, I want to disable them programmatically using vb.net 2010. Can any one help me?
By the way, I already tried to edit the power settings of the PC so it will never sleep/ hybernate, etc. But unfortunately, it keeps on sleeping after few hours.
