VS 2010 - Program Checking The Colour At A Specific Coordinate - Switch Between Windows ?
Apr 16, 2011
Basically what I want to do is create a program that every now and then (maybe 10 minutes) switches between either, all the windows currently open, or a selection of all the windows currently open, then checks the colour of a location on the screen. At the moment I have the program checking the colour at a specific coordinate, so that's all good. The problem I have now is how to switch between windows.
I've thought up a few ways to do this. The windows that I care about checking all have the same name, the same process class, but different process IDs. I already managed to stick all the process IDs into an array of integers hoping that I could use them but I don't have a clue how to bring a window to front using just the process ID. So the first method would work if I could figure out a way to do that.
My second idea, which is a pretty rubbish way of doing it, would be to simply simulate pressing Alt+Tab however many times to change between windows.

I am currently making a 2d game where a spaceship flies around a 2d map.Currently, I am moving the ship with keys, but would like to implement mouse clicking as well.I am wanting to enter an x and y coordinate and have the ship move to that coordinate.
These are my variables:
PlayerFacingAngle, PlayerPositionX, PlayerPositionY, PlayerVelocityX and PlayerVelocityY

I need to create a program that can run code each time the user clicks, I can't use windows forums since its on another program. If the code can detect global mouse clicks(system wide) or only on one program it's fine.
I've done some digging and it looks like windows API can solve my problem but i really suck at using windows API and it looks like SetWindowsHookEx() can solve my problem but i don't know how to use it correctly. This is the code from Pinvoke that I modified to hopefully work for a mouse click. i'm having trouble getting this to work.
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim t As New MouseHook

These settings are accessable through Control PanelAppearance and PersonalizationPersonalizationWindow Color and Appearance But is there a way that i can remotely change these two settings through functions in my windows form application? Also is there any way of removing the slight blur on the window bars/taskbar when using an aero theme?

Our company has setup several remote devices that link to a switch Whenever there are problems on the device, some technicans will replace it using a new one We have a vb program that can automatically update the device setup in our server when technicans replace devices. So we do not need to login and update the setting manually However, our program cannot handle the case that there are more than 1 device that need replacement Therefore, our idea is to retrieve the ip and port of the router/switch that links to remote device using VB.net.

I have successfully converted the FullCalendar into asp.net / VB and it works perfectly. I am struggling to change the background colour of an event based on a SQL query. I have tried many of the links on StackOverflow and on the Full Calendar Docs [URL] but I have barely any knowledge of jQuery/Javascript so this is proving very difficult for me.I have 5 Employees and I would like each of them to have a unique colour on the Calendar. In my SQL table there is a SalesPersonID field for each employee. I want to change the colour based on the ID. e.g.: (I know this will not work in this scenario, it is purely for info)
If "SalesPersonID" = "1" Then
cevent.className = "Steve"
ElseIf "SalesPersonID" = "2" Then

In my project, I want to use Coordinates of a place (eg; London) which is selected from a list of several thousands of coordinates of places.
I thought of using comboBox / ListBox to display the list of the coordinates of places.
I want to know how to make this "editable"; ie: anyone using this program should be able to Edit / Add / Delete a coordinates of a place. And the newly added Place should be saved so that he/she can use it whenever it is needed.

I have some friends who are 'old-school' VB6 database developers and I was telling them about .NET and its features, specifically ADO.NET. In our conversation, they brought up the following reasons why they would rather stick with ADO than move to ADO.NET: The Dataset is disconnected (What if power fails?)
The same amount of code still has to be written The new options of Dataset, BindingSource and TableAdapter seem confusing the same code is written programatically access the Database, all that changes is how that command is laid out. Why ADO.NET is 'better' than ADO with regards to data access when it comes to Windows Forms applications. What does ADO.NET provide that ADO does not? What does it do better than ADO? I'd like examples that do not involve LINQ.

I was wondering if it was possible to check if the file "test.txt" is open? and if so then display a message that the file is in use? My biggest problem is that the file can be opened in notepad, word, excel etc. I have some basic coding, which checks if the file is open - what I am trying to do is check if the file is currently open and if its not in use then proceed with the coding, I have the following coding so far.
Dim Process() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad")
Dim Process2() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("word")
For Each p As Process In Process

I'm working with a database application and i want to check if there is a null value in a specific column but it works only when its not null but if its null it throws an exception automatically. I tried to change the null value property of this column but I'm not able it shows a message that its not a valid property. I tried to change the source code in the code editor but it changes back automatically. Is there a way that I can work around this?

Is there a way to change the language of an ASP.NET project from Visual Basic to C# easily? I would even be willing to re-write the code as it's still fairly simple at this point.

This project is based on a MUD, or at least originates from playing them. I have an ascii map where each character represents a type of terrain. I have found code for reading one line at a time, but I need to not only dictate which line to be read, but how many characters in to the line to read. Basically trying to make a grid/coordinate system, where I can tell it my location is 4, 7 and the program will read the fourth line, seventh character.

I have a web browser on my form and it is definitely big enough to warrant a tab control, with the web browser being on the second tab. I have a button on the first tab that should have the browser navigate, but how do I make the program automatically switch to tab 2? i.e., this is what happens:
1 - user is on tab 1,
2 - user clicks a button on tab 1,
3 - the program does what it needs to do and automatically switches to tab 2
For instance, here is the button that will be clicked:
Private Sub swap_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles swap.Click
If video = False Then
[Code].....
So the button will make the web browser go somewhere, I just want to have the form switch to the other tab automatically so that the user doesn't have to do it. I tried using webbrowser1.focus() to no avail. Is there a tab switch?

I am not new to programming but have little experience and am trying to learn VB 2010.
We have HP Procurve network switches and I know that with a telnet application I can login to the switch and it will tell me which MAC address is connected to which switch port. Im trying to write a computer inventory program to track my computers and it would be really cool if I could figure out how to determine which computer is plugged into which port on the switch. Problem is that I have no idea how to go about doing that.
Is this anything anyone has tried before or does anyone know how to go about doing it?
Ive been hunting on line but havent found anything useful so far and thought Id ask here in the off chance someone knows what Im talking about.

I am trying to find a way to accurately verify if a Windows 7 machine is currently using an active license and activated. I believe I can initiate a 'cmd.exe' command to run a cscript (slmgr) and parse that information but that seems like an inefficient method.I have came across an unmanaged windows API called SLGetGenuineInformation [url] however I am not familiar with how to call this in VB.NET or what the variable types should be. I believe VB6 came with some sort of APIViewer that Visual STudio 2010 does not seem to contain.

To .NET after getting tired of using VB6 due to the lack of functionality. I'm trying to create a log on method for a system which will involve users selecting a colour from a paint panel and then placing/drawing the colour in 1 or more tiles of a grid, basically a 3x3 grid in which for example they selected the blue colour and drew in the top left tile and the bottom left tile. The logon is selecting the correct colour and placing the colour in the appropriate tile. What i want them to be able to do is place even a single pixel of colour so it has a high accuracy. So far i have a timer which loops from the width of the grid to the height of the grid.
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Dim BMP As New Drawing.Bitmap(1, 1)
Dim GFX As System.Drawing.Graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(BMP)
GFX.CopyFromScreen(New Drawing.Point(MousePosition.X, MousePosition.Y), _
[CODE]...
To start with i have just hard coded the colour i want it to detect. At present it produces an error. Parameter must be positive and < Width the error is on System.Drawing.Point(i,j). If i place the mouse over the colour then run the program it will say it has been found, but otherwise it wont find the colour. I believe i am not updating the location of the pixel or something to that effect.
