VS 2010 Exception To Topmost?
Feb 8, 2012
I'm writing a program that's supposed to keep the employees at my work away from doing things they're not supposed to on the computer. So I made a "launcher" window that's only closeable with password. I also disabled task manager. However when I start an application from my launcher window, the launcher window goes over it because of its topmost property.

I am creating a toolbar for the desktop. The only problem I have is that all though I have the windows above all others windows I need to have the other programs (not created by me) to snap or max to below my program etc. I have tried to search but have not found anything to help me or explain how to do it..
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Ultmate (visual basic 2010)..

It is possible to catch an exception and throw a new exception which wraps the first exception as an inner exception: [URL] Also, if I call a function and it throws a certain error, but I catch it, will the calling code's catch handler execute? If so, and it is of a higher exception type, is this not wrapping the exception? eg I can throw exception ex of type IndexOutOfRange, log it but rethrow, catch a higher up exception and do something, or I can throw a new exception and wrap an inner exception like:

I just read a recent article here at the code guru about the flip-3d feature available on Vista and Windows 7.It allows, you to place an application above, or below the windows being flipped.
Here is a VB example of that code really neat code.
Code:
Const DWMWA_FLIP3D_POLICY As Int32 = 8
Const DWMWA_EXCLUDE_NONE As Int32 = 0
Const DWMWA_EXCLUDE_BELOW As Int32 = 1
Const DWMWA_EXCLUDE_ABOVE As Int32 = 2

Let's say the user has both Firefox and Chrome running. I'd like to get the MainWindowTitle from the browser that is the topmost, even if none of them have focus.The code below works fine if the user only has one of them running, but I'm not sure how to the get MainWindowTitle from the topmost firefox/chrome window when the user has both of them running.
vb.net
Dim pProcess() As Process = Process.GetProcesses
For Each pr As Process In pProcess

I am aware of the 'topmost' keyword in VB.NET for specifying a window to be brought to the front or top of the display windows showing. However, specifying 'xlApp.topmost' is resulting in a compile error in my VB 2010 Express project; most likely because my project doesn't include a reference that it needs for 'xlApp.topmost' to start working. What reference do I need to add?

I am trying to write a program that displays a medium opacity image as the topmost form. that I can handle, the part that is giving me trouble is that I want windows to "ignore" the topmost picture form and allow me to interact with any forms behind it (mine or otherwise) as if the see-through form isn't there. I have searched all over but cant seem to find a way to do this.

I have a form that has to be on top for a period of time, and then can be set behind other windows normally. Is there anything in addition to setting Me.TopMost to True or False that needs to be done? I ask because it doesn't seem to be working.

With that program, it has extra dialogs within it. They cannot be scrolled out and stay topmost while the whole app is focused. How can I do that?

I'm programming a Minesweeper clone in Visual Studio 2010, with VB.NET, as a Windows Form Application, and I'm having trouble with the Game Won and Game Lost forms. When I show those forms, I want the game form to still be visible, so that the player can see where the mines were, but I don't want the game form to be enabled until the Game Won or Game Lost form is closed. Exactly like Windows Minesweeper does when you win or lose.

My VB.NET application is suposed to monitor what application currently is running in the topmost window. I have tried the following approach using a timer:
Declare Function GetActiveWindow Lib "user32" () As System.IntPtr
Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" () As System.IntPtr
Public Declare Auto Function GetWindowText Lib "user32" _
[Code]....
By this I can see that for example Outlook or Internet Explorer is the topmost window as the name is in Window's title bar. However, if the user crates a new mail in Outlook the title of the window is "Untitled message" givning no hint of what application is running in the the window.
How do I get what application is connected to the topmost window?

I'm trying to make one form in my application always on top of other forms. Not the 'topmost' property, I want it on top JUST within the application.

What I need to do is Set my new form to be the top most form of only my application while still having click access to the main form. Right now I have tried the property Topmost = True but the thing about that I really do not like is it puts the form above every single windows form. I only want the form to be the topmost of my application. The showdialog also will not work because I no longer have access to my main form with click events.

I'm trying to embed a form, which works, but it's under all my controls. It should appear on top of everything.
Dim frmEmbedded As New frmLogin()
frmEmbedded.TopLevel = False
frmEmbedded.TopMost = True
Me.Controls.Add(frmEmbedded)
frmEmbedded.Show()
I don't know why this happens, am I missing something?
If I set TopLevel to true, it deosn't show up at all.

I have so far been able to write the program that glasses the windows I want (via a global keyboard shortcut).
I now need a way to replicate Glass2k's feature which makes glassed windows stay on top of all windows irrespective of which program I switch to (more like setting a WinForm's TopMost property to True. Is there any way of doing this in .NET?
I'm prepared to get down and dirty with DllImports and all so any suggestion is welcome as long as it is in VB.NET or C#.

I am making a crosshair(for a game) which needs to be absolutely topmost!//. This can only be done if the form's topmost property is true, and the next second false, and then true...etc..
But is there a possibililty to make sure your form is absolutely topmost.. Or make another program/application not topmost so that yours is.
My questions is only about the topmost not about the rest of the application because I have made everything already.
