I would like my application to be able to listen for when the Esc key is pressed, then close the application. I have been searching Google but all I am getting is when in texboxes and thing of that nature, not a global key press.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to make an application to listen in on a UDP port - the issue is that there is something already there. Here is the scenario: On port 5060 is a SIP-based softphone, it is listening for incoming calls. The application I am writing is also listening on port 5060 to receive the packets (which will then be parsed to extract the caller ID and various other statistics)

i have a program called Vip Task Manager.This program lets me set up task which others have to complete.When they are done with a task they have to mark it "completed" and make a report on what they have done and used to perform this task.Vip Task Manager has a button which directs them to an upload form, now when they press the "open" button I would like this to happen: Open a certain report making program I made myself.When they finished writing their report and press save, the program saves this report on a dedicated network HDD (.txt file) and closes itself.Then add the file or link to the upload form in Vip Task Manager.What it all comes down to is that they dont have to minimize Vip task manager, open the report making software, save it, go to vip task manager, press upload, press open, look where this file is saved, select it, and upload it.now, typed in red is whats already been taken care of.The rest, I have no idea where to begin to be honest.First I want to find out how to retrieve that a button is pressed in a existing program. (dont know which code it is written in and it is not open source)

I am trying to make a TCP chat program, but instead of having people enter in the ip of the computer they wish to talk to everytime, i would like the program to be able to listen on all ip addresses, so that it will provide for a better user experience, and that i can have chat rooms with multiple people joining. I have the code working with entering in ips, however, when i use the IPAddress.any command it will not send messages.

View 5 RepliesThis is my first post, so hopefully I'm asking it in the correct place.
Currently I have two subs where the first calls the second.
Sub Sub1()
'some code
Call Sub2(x)
End Sub
Sub Sub2()
'some code
End Sub
This means that Sub1 does not end until after Sub2 is complete.I need to have Sub2 run after Sub1 has ended. In my case Sub1 is triggered from an application event, so calling the two subs from another 'parent' sub would not work.Is there a way that I can listen for the 'End Sub Event' of a sub?I am currently working in VBA but will be heading to .net shortly so I'll take whatever flavour of code people can help with.

View 8 RepliesI am developing an Application that uses TCP To listen for connections, and then when a message is sent to the server and then it alerts the IP that is running the server. (Lets say the server is on a iPhone, and some how the iPhone gets a text message, which alerts a tcp server running in the background via a .jar, it would send the owner of the iPhone a message on the computer telling it it has a text. This is just an example though, but I think it gets the general idea across. I've been trying to do this, and I can connect to a TCP Server (using 127.0.0.1:8888 for testing purposes, will move to a solid IP and Port later). I can start the server (its still buggy and under development) but i don't know how to connect to the server via an application, and when a certain message is received to alert the IP Running the server.
My Server Code is:
Dim serverSocket As New TcpListener(8888)
Dim clientSocket As TcpClient
Dim infiniteCounter As Integer
Dim counter As Integer
serverSocket.Start()
[Code] .....
Now I know that to connect you'd do something like
Code:
Dim clientSocket As New System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient()
Dim serverStream As NetworkStream
clientSocket.Connect("127.0.0.1", 8888)
serverStream = clientSocket.GetStream()
And I know I would have to use some sort of Byte() method to send/receive messages, but I am at a loss on how to set it all up.

View 4 RepliesI would like to know if it's possible that when an event occurs, a string variable begins to listen (so when a key is pressed, its value is appended to the string) until another event occurs.
EDIT:I would like to make it other way:When the event occurs, I want a textbox to activate as if i double-clicked it (althougt it would be invissible, i olny want the textbox to make an event happen when the text changes using that text)
I have an object of type SomeObject, with an event StatusChanged. I have a property in SomeObject of type Status also with an event StatusChanged. Within a private function in SomeObject, I would like to run some logic (including firing the StatusChanged event) in the event that Status has fired its StatusChanged event. I have been away from events for a while so it's a bit cloudy to me. How do I do this?
I'm writing in ASP.NET/VB.NET EDIT Ok, in the event that I can't do the above, how would I get the outer object (SomeObject) to fire its StatusChanged event when the inner object (Status) fires its StatusChanged event?
Currently I am doing a project that requires me to "listen" for new emails coming in MS Outlook.

View 3 RepliesNot surer if I know exactly how to ask or phrase this questions/discussion.I have a windows service that listens to a COM port for GPS data and send the information out through a UDP port to a listening application (VB6 app). I have a UI front end for the service that I would like to listen or watch the data and do some other things with the data.
The service raises an event in which I would like to have my UI listen to. Now I'm guessing that since my UI is on one thread and the service is on another, if I add a handler to the event, it may never pick it up.
Therefore, I am wondering how can I listen to the events from a sperate UI application. I heard a lot about Remoting, but my concern is configuration; our end users are not technical at all and not sure what is involved...and I'm not that familair with Remoting.
I am trying to use m.WParam to separate the event raised by left arrow key "<-" and right arrow key "->", but somehow m.WParam always = 0. How can i separate the event raised when the user press left or right arrow key?
