View 2 RepliesI have a query I am creating a Window App in vb.net (4.0) in which I have to use multiple databases although all databases are same with same db structure & stored procedures,just names are different. In the very starting of application, I need to give a option to the user that these are available db & user will select which one to connect & use.
So is it possible to detect how many db are available in the SQL Server through vb.net & how can achieve this (to provide options to the user) What would be the best approach?

I have a camera with a LiveView function (images aren�t snapped, but they are directly sent to my computer), which I managed to connect with VB.net, so I have got the image in a picture box on my form.The next thing I want to do, is to gather 3 spots from the image... The spots are all red, something very similar to #FF0000 (it is a camera + lights, etc... some tolerance needed). So, can anyone help me here?
I think the working "check list" could be something like this:
- Get red, green and blue channels separated
- Change green and blue into gray scale (100% blue / green = black, 0% b / g = transparent)
- Put these b / g both into 50% alpha and put them over the red (which means where is both green and blue = black, only one of them = 50% alpha black, none = transparent)
- Somehow select the areas with most red
- Get center of these areas - my points

Reason for asking: I want to stop a user from changing tabs in a tab control.
I want to be able to detect when the user presses F10 or Ctrl+F10 outside of my program, and upon receiving the key press, it will send text to whatever they currently have selected (e.g. a text box). How can this be accomplished in the simplest way?

I'm trying to set up a timer that counts up to ten and starts/resets when the left mouse button is clicked (anywhere on the screen even when the application is in the background). I'm struggling to find a code that suggests it is possible and now I am starting to wonder even if it is possible in VB?
View 4 RepliesI need to know the status of the mouse whether it is moving or being idle. How can I do that?
I have tried with form's mouse move event but, it doesn't work if the mouse is on any control.
I have an Access 2007 database that runs constantly, the form on the database basically runs a timer every 10 seconds and runs a Macro. The problem I have is that when the backups run at night the network connection the database is on disconnects for the backup, so the database crashes with the error.
"Your Network Access was interrupted. To continue, close this database, and then open it again."
What I would like to do is create a small VB Application that runs on the machine that the database runs on, detects when the database has a problem, closes down the database process then restarts the database.
I am developing a UI for an embedded device that I have designed and built. The device uses an FT232 chip which, when connected via USB is automatically assigned one of the COM ports. I was wondering if there is a way to set up a loop which would automatically detect which COM port the device has been assigned. I could then add some handshaking to verify that the port is correct.

I want to be able to isolate an area of my desktop (similar to a screen capture snip) and evaluate if it is changing. In this particalr case it is an appliacation I have (not mine) that flashes an icon upon completion
What I want to do is make a small app that will detect change when I am away and perhaps perform a specific action (the action is not relevant really - i can take care of that) Again,this is NOT hugely important, but if someone has an idea or has seen an app that does this, it would be useful for me...

I am writing a usability testing application, it starts the screen recording, gives the user tasks, and then when finished brings up a survey and stops the screen recording. My problem lies in the last part of this process, because the screen recording app brings up a msgbox when recording is over saying where the file is put and then when that is closed it brings up the screen recording application. I am trying to block the user from seeing this so am currently using the following method.
Private Sub WatcherHandler(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatcher1.Created
Dim Camtasia As Integer
[code].....
Basically when the msgbox from the screen recorder comes up it means a file has been created...so the folder is watched and when the file is created the msgbox is checked for, when it exists a short timer is enabled and then knowing the window exists it is hidden using showwindow findwindow approach. Although this approach does work, Camtasia needs to be closed and re-opened after in order to record again and for some reason it does not always work.

View 4 RepliesI know that you cannot disable Ctrl Alt Del for security reasons. I was able to figure out how to disable ALT+F4 in my application though. What I am wanting to know is if anyone can give me some code to where If CTRL ALT DEL is pressed then my application will close. I have tried everything, and I just cannot seem to get the program to recognize if the user presses ctrl alt delete.
So basically I need some code that detects if a user presses ctrl alt delete then if htye did it closes the application.

View 3 RepliesI currently have a property in my program which returns a true/false depending on if the program is "portable" or not. I need this to know if I should do a certain thing or not.
It checks if it is by checking if the registrykey the installer creates exists, here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MyProgram
(And under the Wow node if the OS is 64 bit)
The problem is, I am trying to get rid of the need for admin rights, and this is the last function that needs to be fixed. But I don't have a clue on how.
Why I want this property is because then I don't need two separate versions of my program (like a set property in My.Settings which I set before I build).
The only files that differ using the portable vs the installer is one file, but the reason why I don't want to base the result on the existence of that file is because I want to warn the user if it's not there (if the program is not in Portable mode), so he can reinstall the program.
how I can check if the program is installed by an installer, without using admin

I am having problems while detecting key combo events in my app.
For example, I have Alt+M set to bring up the menu bar like one does in. Windows 7. But I noticed if u press control+alt+M it still calls the menu bar. I also noticed that if focus is on a webbrowser control, none of the combos work. I have keypreview set to true by the way. The webbrowser control is really a custom class that inherrits the standard webbrowser control. Reason for the custom control is because it uses the tab control tag property. I found it in a post somewhere can remember where. I'll post the link to the info in an hour.
Also I noticed during testing of Alt+SOME KEY that when I was holding Alt before I pressed the SOME KEY that it was calling up the code for showing/hiding the menu bar. (I originally used just Alt for the menu)
1) how to better control key combos
2) why does custom browser control "ignore" the keypreview being set to true?
I just finished building my robot and now I am trying to come up with the code that goes on the computer to control the dang thing. Right now I have a thread that constantly loops in a do until loop that will never be true. Inside that loop the program should check to see if the w,s,a, or d keys are pressed if they are then it finds out what key has been pressed and sends the appropriate value to the robot. If no key is pressed then it should send the stop value to the micro controller which halts the robot until a new key is pressed.This is the basic way that I thought the code should be constructed although this code DOES not work.
