What i'm trying to find out, is, is there a way to recreate the Autoit feature "WinWait", whereby:
"WinWait": Stops script execution until the specified window exists.
The window does not need be active.
e.g. Wait forever for the notepad window.
WinWait, Untitled - Notepad
Does any body know if this is possible with Visual Basic?
I want my program to check if 10 different files or folders exist. However I do not want it to spend more than about 10 seconds checking. Is there a way to reduce the timeout to 10 seconds?

View 1 RepliesI'm getting spotty results trying to build a procedure that queries Yahoo finance, retrieves a stock quote and then passes the HTML body contents to a text variable. Using a WebBrowser control, it works in a 2 step fashion, using a textbox to input the symbol and a button to trigger navigation. After the WebBrowser window fills, I can pull the contents out of the browser window. In this case, it's just one number to keep things simple. The working code appears below:

I am working on a game launcher, and I need to display a "Splash screen" until the main game has started. For this, I need to know whether or not the Process has a Main window that is fully loaded and displayed.Now I noticed the main window handle is 0 when there is none, so I tried to use that:[code]But the handle never becomes nonzero. I tried to use the title but to no avail.I do not want to go into "Thread.wait()" since then the splash would remain even if the game is already launched.
View 4 RepliesWhile navigating to a series of sites at one site the WebBrowser control's DocumentCompleted EVENT is tripped and no other recorded Browser events occur after that. When this happens the hour glass cursor indicates the browser is waiting. From this point it take 120 to 250 seconds of wall clock time before the browser resumes. I am looking for a way to force an abnormal termination without destroying the control. I have tried "Stop", "nav to about:blank" repeatedly without success. How can I force an abnormal termination when the Cntrl is in a wait state?
Consider the following: The last known Browser event to be tripped is a Document Complete event; nothing else occurs after this. When this transpires the Cntrl is waiting.

I am trying to find the handle of the child window for the Yes button in the User Account Control window so i can click it. This window has a structure with a few child windows with the same name.
Dim hwnd As IntPtr = FindWindow(Nothing, "User Account Control")
Dim hwnd2 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd, 0, "DirectUIHWND", vbNullString)
Dim hwnd3 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd2, 0, "CtrlNotifySink", vbNullString)
Dim hwnd4 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd3, 0, "Button", "&Yes")
There are multiple CtrNotifySink with its own Button child window or other child windows. How do i search thru the different CtrNotifySink window to find the one that contain the Yes button so i can send a click to it? I do need to find it before i can send a click, right? because i try just sending it to the main window with sendmessage and nothing happen.I even try sending it directly to the handle found by spy++ of the yes button with bm click but nothing happen?

View 2 RepliesI 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:

border 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.

View 2 RepliesI am creating a window that is a generic keypad for editing numerical values on a touchscreen. I would like to press an 'edit' button to create a copy of the keypad window/bring up a reusable version of the same window (I don't care), but pass in parameters: the old value I'm manipulating, and a title to be displayed above the number pad. I would like the user to be able to type in the new value, then press the 'done' key to submit this value and have it sent back to the main application window into my custom control that contains a text box.(I have the number pad's layout sorted out already; I'm already using a variation on it to set a global password 'access level'. It's getting the information in and out that has me scratching my head.) [code]

View 7 RepliesI am trying to pop up a window on clicking of the link within datagrid and passing textbox id with it. And on closing the popup window i want to set the value of the textbox control within datagrid need to be updated.
My code is:
<A onclick="window.open('webform5.aspx?textbox=rated_kw','cal','width=250,height=225,left=270,top=180')"
href="javascript:;"><IMG src="images/exclamation1.jpg" border="0"></A>
and on popup window page:
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Dim strScript As String
strScript = "<script>window.opener.document.forms(0)." + control.Value + ".value = '"
strScript += "35"
[code]....
It works fine when the link is not within datagrid.
I have the following function that should make the window always on top of other applications.
Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" _
(ByVal handle As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, _
ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
[Code]....
The problem is that it reduces the window size so that you can only see the title bar and min/max/close buttons. Also, even that does not stay on top of other windows.
I have used this function before on a windows 7 machine (instead of xp which this one is on) and it worked fine.

View 2 Repliesok I have a program that controls another program.. but sometimes the other program is not running.. so I ask the question "do you want to run it up" so if they it takes like 15 seconds to come up.. so really I dont want to do much on my program while we wait for that other program to finally come up..
normally when my program comes up I make sure the other app is running.. and it would come up before you would click on something to try to call it.. but during the day.. maybe their app crashes.. so then right before I try to make a call to it I will check if its running.. so I want to run it up but kinda put a hold on my code while it waits..
so whats the best way to do this ? stop my code.. call a timer and when it see's its up call again ?? or can I put in some wait in the code then continue... just looking for the best method people have used..

View 8 RepliesI have a vb.net application that, when a short cut is pressed, a window pops up. I also would like to make it completely invisible, unless the short cut is pressed. In the default class that houses my code for noticing the short cut and coordinating the events of the short cut, I have placed the following code:
Me.ShowInTaskbar = False
I have isolated this code as the issue. The issue is that my application does not work when it is not shown in the taskbar. This is only the default form - for the pop up window I have a separate class. How can I create a workaround for hiding the window in the taskbar and hiding it in general?
