I want to take a snapshot of the foreground window without using print screen key. So far the only think i can do with the foreground window is get its title but If i can get the size and location then I can get cordinates on where to set capture with graphics.copyfromscreen.
View 3 Repliesim using vb.net to open IE and go to a website... i can figure out how to size the window, but not change the windows location on the screen... how can i make the IE window position always 0,0
Dim oIE As Object
Dim hWnd As Long
oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")[code].....
How can I get the handle of the window that is below (or behind, whatever you call it) the foreground window?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to use appactivate to bring a window to the foreground however this is not working. When the program is already open on the desktop and there are other windows on top of it and I use AppActivate then it brings that window into the foreground. However if that window is minimized to the windows bar below, then the only thing appactivate does is have that program selected but it does not bring it into the foreground. I need to have any window forced to the foreground while retaining its original size.
View 2 RepliesI 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.
The user32.dll provides functions to get the process id from a process executable name, and I can also obtain the active or foreground window that the user is working.Can I determine what windows the targeted process has opened? Otherwise, can I find out what details about the process that opened the foreground/active window?
My code needs to run only when another specific process is running and the user is actively using that window, while that window is the top-most window on the desktop.
I'm trying to send keys (or more precisely, paste the clipboard, i.e., send a "ctrl+v") to the foreground application and I'm sort of stuck since I can only find ways to send a keystroke at once.

I have an application that gathers information from a user into a Win.Form and then uses the Process.Start() to start Notepad and then using Sendkeys write the Notepad document.Sometimes this works great and sometimes the Notepad window is not started as the foreground process and the document is not written.What is the best way to ensure that the window opened by Process.Start("Notepad.exe") is the active window for the duration of the Process?

I'm using Visual Basic 2010 Express.I have a form that can be minimized.There's also a tray icon.I've coded it so that if you double-click on the tray icon, the form's FormWindowState becomes set to Normal; this restores the form to where was before it became minimized, but the form does not become the active window on my desktop.
How can I make the form become the active most foreground window? I've tried various functions that I can think of but no luck yet. Tried searching with various queries to try and find the right wording but no luck.I'm new to Visual Basic - only started a couple hours ago.Probably something simple but I can't seem to find the correct function or anything.I have the form/window open, and then I overlap said form with a window of another application. When I double-click my app's tray icon, I want my window to become the active window, bringing it to the front, but can't figure out how

I'm trying to animate my window's location. I have a window, and when I click on my button, I want the window to move smoothly 100px from it's current location.
Example:

Dim windowsize as integer = window1.top
windowsize = windowsize - 100
End Sub
But with XAML animation. I have no idea how to make this animation in this type of scenario.

recommend the cleanest way to save / restore a winform's location and state? For some time now I've been using a method similiar to what I posted below (based on the CodeProject: [URL]..The problem with this method is that when the form loads, it is drawn in an initial location, then moved / maximized afterwards. The effect creates somewhat of an eye sore watching the window draw, then quickly update... but in Vista it is a lot more obvious.
What I would like to do is restore a form to it's previously saved location / state invisible to the user, then show it once it's where it needs to be. Or, just know of the ideal way this is supposed to be done - specifically in Vista.

When I start working on a Project I like to change the size of the Properties Window. (I like to make it taller than it is by default). But each time I start a new Project the Properties Window goes back to the original shape/location. Is there a way that I can customize the layout of that window so that the shape is retained across sessions?
View 6 RepliesI tried this for my forms, but because I am setting the position with a re-size function and anchors as well, it does not seem to work quite right.
I end up with grey lines (edge of a control I think), and some of my text boxes loose their position. What do you recommend? [URL]
I am starting a Console (3rd party application) with a New Process in vb.net. I simply want to size the window when it loads. All the APIs have not worked, SetWindowPos, MoveWindow, etc... need to work in all versions of Windows. Anybody have solid code that does this?
View 4 RepliesI'm a new user of Visual Studio 2008. While I am a fan of Tabbed Browsing, I am in no way a fan of Tabbed Programming, so I have my "Window Layout" set to "Multiple Documents".However, I have been horrified to find that the default window size for any form or module opened is about 9/10ths of the work space. When I resize the window and close it, it opens back up again to 9/10ths of the work space. This is going to very seriously impact my work flow.There has to be some kind of mistake. I've looked for a way to set the default window size, but to no avail. I've searched the web for 3rd party plugins that would let me have more control over the IDE, but also to no avail.Is there some way to set the default window size in Visual Studio 2008? It would seem remarkably amateurish to not provide this extremely basic functionality.
