View 14 Repliesborder of that said window so the only place the mouse can't click the titlebar and the minimize,restore, and maximize button. The height of the titlebar depends on what OS the user is using so I'm having trouble because I can't give a definite value for this. How do I detect the height. and also for border i'm not sure if the borders have different widths with different operating systems. I'm using windows XP on classic mode, when I change to the themed mode, the height of the title bar changes so it won't work.

I have a snippet below how to kill multiple instances of different processes by the name of exe file
For Each processName As String In {"notepad", "word", "excel"}
Dim pProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(processName)
For Each p As Process In pProcess
p.Kill()
Next

But if user will change the name of exe file it will not work. So the question is how to kill them by window title which contains {"notepad", "word", "excel"}?
I am looking to prompt the user to save data when they close a form window in a winforms application. I can't figure out how to trigger the prompt to the user, should they click the red box at the top right corner of the form.
My application currently has a boolean flag, that is set to True on textchanged event. So I will only need to check for the boolean value in whatever event is trigger by the red box.
I know how to add an exit button with a prompt. However, I do not have the slightest cluse as to how I can add this same functionality to the window so that if the user clicks the X in the upper right corner, there is a prompt message confirming the user needs to exit.I added a form closing event but getting wrong results, the form closes if I click no and message window does not leave when I click yes to stay.
Code:
Private Sub frmTest_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
If (MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to exit?", "Close Form", _
MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) = _

I have a MDI parent form, I'll call mdiBackground, and 4 MDI child forms, frmStatus, frmShow, frmQwerty, and frmSentence.The layout is as follows:mdibackground - has the menus at top and is a container for the child forms.frmSentence - appears at the top frmShow & frmQwerty - appear at the left and when one is closed the other one is in the same position.frmStatus - appears at the right, it has buttons which control when frmShow and frmQwerty are to appear I have a couple of regular forms that act as dialog forms. The Me.Close() works fine on these.

AVS_Measure (device_handle, form_handle, no_measurement)

I'm trying to focus and bring a window with an unknown caption/title to the front. The window is in a clinical application that we use, so I don't think there's any way I can do it inside the framework, as we get this application from a vendor. The window will always start with "Member - ". I have code below that I have used in the past to find a window and focus it when I know exactly what the title is.. but in this case I don't know what the title is. Does anyone know of another API call that I can use to search through all windows and compare their titles as text to see if any of them match the text I'm trying to compare with?
