View 2 RepliesRandom Wallpaper Changer Using Tagged Images?
Jan 11, 2009I wish to make a wallpaper changer that can select a random wallpaper from a given directory and sub directories. I'm not asking for code at this point, I'd like a reality check to see how hard this could be. I'm still quite a newbie at VB so I just wanna check if what I'm thinking process wise would work.The basic thing I'd like to do is have it pick one picture out of a given dir and sub dirs. Then set it as the wallpaper. I'd like it to be resized if larger than the desktops resolution to fit inside it, no stretching cropping or stuff.
That's the simple things I'd like it to do. Unfortunately I have dual monitors so it'd have to pick two wallpapers, resize each one independently, stick them together, and then set the wallpaper. I'd also like to make a kind of simple database which would have the name of each pic and two values with it. I'd like a value to mark if it's been used already which would be reset when all pictures have been used. The second would be a simple tag. This way i could have all car wallpapers listed as tag 1 and all non-car wallpapers listed as tag 2. Then I could chose whether to use all or only tagged wallpapers.

Mar 28, 2009I've made a program to change a computers wallpaper through VB which works perfectly UNLESS as your browsing for the picture you press the cancel button. The code on the browse button:
Dim dlg As OpenFileDialog = New OpenFileDialog
dlg.Filter = "Image Files (*.bmp, *.gif, *.jpg)|*.bmp;*.gif;*.jpg"
dlg.Title = "Select the image to load."
[code]....
Is there anything that can be added to the code so that the user is able to cancel looking for a picture without it crashing?

Aug 25, 2011I am having in VB.NET 2010. I am writing an app to change the background wallpaper kinda a little project I am making for my wife's grandma. It is a multiple wallpaper changer to change the wallpaper based on a list of images she adds. Anyways! I have everything setup except the fact that it doesn't change the wallpaper...
This code here:

Will NOT change the wallpaper but the same code works in VB6 I tried it because I have made something like it before in VB6 but it was a game that changed the wallpaper. Anyways, using the above code in VB6 works(well with a change to the SystemParametersInfo declare to work within VB6. But it doesn't work in VB.NET. I have NO IDEA why everything gets set in the registry just fine from VB.NET but I just cannot seem to get it to update the wallpaper...

Way To Refresh Desktop Wallpaper
Feb 14, 2011I have a logon script which changes the desktop brackground picture in the registry. The only problem is this change isn't applied until the user logs off and on again. I currently use a small program which uses SHChangeNotify(&H8000000, &H1000, 0, 0) but this will not refresh the wallpaper. I was also hoping this would refresh the Taskbar because I change a registry setting which removes a toolbar.

VS 2008 - WinXP Ping Successful But Not Win7
Jan 19, 2012I have a sub that I just discovered does not work for my windows 7 users but works fine for my windows XP users. This is basically a sub for a ping monitor to ping devices on a timer. What happens is that when the windows 7 user tries to ping, it always reports "down" on a windows 7 whether actually up or down. But, windows xp will report correctly with "up". 3 different windows 7 boxes, users say it worked before. Can't quite debug correctly as i'm on xp myself and it works just fine. Also, I haven't changed anything in the code in quite awhile and this is a recent bug that just started.

Sep 20, 2011ive decided to try out win7 since its finally a bit more debugged, ive backed up very carefully all my projects, however there semms to be a problem with the one i was working on, this first chance exception error has been avoided and not even mentioned in winxp however in win7 it not only mentions it but makes the application crash, This is what its nagging me about, i dont get it isnt windows7 the same when it comes to mydocs? Was not possible to locate part of the path: C:UsersEugenDocumentsIOrganizeSettingsCalendarConfig
Sorry i had to translate it, its in portuguese language, yeah i know... if i could i wouldve changed it but win7pro doesnt gimme that option, anyways back to the topic:
A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
This is the code i came up with:
If My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments & "/IOrganizeSettings" & "/CalendarConfig/") = False Then
My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments & "/IOrganizeSettings" & "/CalendarConfig/")
