Make An External Application 'child' Of Main .Net Application

Jan 23, 2010

I use SetParent to make an external application a "child" of my Main .Net application. This works fine.What I need to know is why can't I use Me.MDIChildren(0)I thought that using SetParent would increase the number of children by 1, thus allowing me to reference it with the above code, but it shows there are no children in the array.I have been trying, without luck, for 2 days to try to maximize an external app being displayed in my app. I can get it to display, but I would love it if it could Dock to the same size as its container (a panel)

Capturing Audio Stops When Main Window Is Minimized Or Obstructed By Another Window?

Feb 9, 2012

I have a VB.NET application that uses Managed DirectSound to capture audio.Everything works just fine until (a) the application is minimized or (b) the application is completey obstructed (covered) by another window.

The thing is that the CaptureBufferDescription structure does not include a GlobalFocus property so I don't know what to do to let my application continue capturing when the main window is hidden.

Here's the basic initialization code I'm using:

' Create a buffer description object
bufCapDesc = New CaptureBufferDescription()
With bufCapDesc

VS 2010 Make Classes Import Into Main Form.vb

Mar 20, 2012

I was just wondering how you can make classes import into your main Form.vb

Let's say I make a class with the following.

Public Class OtherStuff
Public Sub HideMe()
Form1.Hide()

[Code]....

How could I make the Form1.vb include the things that are in OtherStuff.vb.

All of the solutions that I have tried come up with the same error. Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.

VS 2010 - Process Exe Thread Is Halting Main Application?

Feb 10, 2012

I have two applications. For performing certain functions, i run a second exe, via a process, and wait till it is complete (exited) to continue with my main application. I run through many repetitive functions on different files.Everything runs fine however, when i am doing a run and it is on the x loop number, the main application seems to halt the secondary process exe. I can only assume this is what is happening as, if i close/stop (not pause) my main application in VB, the second exe continues from where it was halted until it completes.

VS 2010 Retrieve Currently Active Application Window From Another Application Just Starting Up

May 26, 2011

I am in need of a small application, that will allways be topmost and will send keystrokes to the last active application (typically notepad or an explorer window). My problem is retrieving the current active form (or application), when my application is started up. Every search seems to return old and rather complex solutions using Win32 library functions, but I was kinda hoping, that .Net allowed for a neater and more simple solution.I need a code example or link on how to retrieve the currently active application window from another application just starting up.

VS 2010 Application Window Disappears Sometimes?

Jan 6, 2012

So i have made this program which im done with. All code has been written and it is working as it should. I do however have one bug that is pretty wierd.

Sometimes the main window just dissapears ! And i cant get it to show it self again.. Rebooting my computer does not help.. And then sometimes it just randomly shows it self again, but only between runs.

The only thing that i can come up with that could cause this, is the part of code i have that saves the position of the window to application settings and reloads them upon run. So that you can move the window around your screen (in this case dual monitors) and then close it, and the next time you start the application it shows where you closed it the last time. This must screw up somehow.

Reload Main Window WPF?

Aug 15, 2010

I have a simple WPF vb.net application and wish to set the visibility property of some buttons on the main window to True when user successfully logs on

I have a MainWindow window with a frame hosting any number of pages and use the navigation service to load into this frame eg. Me.BodyFrame.Navigate(New System.Uri("Logon.xaml", UriKind.Relative)) One Page (logon) enables user to logon.

vb.net code:

Dim txtLocalLogonID = txtLogonID.Text
Dim pwdLocalPassword = pwdPassword.Password
Dim LocalLogon As New gblLogon()

[Code]....

How do I reload the main window? I realise the code is primitive but I just want to get it working first.

Set Window TopMost Of Main Form?

Feb 18, 2010

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.

My application replays the RADAR environment for the FAA and I want the ability for dual monitor users to drag the control panels to the other monotor to leave the main canvas clear.
