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
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 want to know how can we determine the world coordinates (x,y,z) when our mouse moves in the viewport. I am using vb.net to make a directx application.

BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?
View 11 RepliesSome programs display a window, like some antivirus programs, at the windows welcome screen. This is before anybody has logged in.I want to do the same thing. I am creating a security program that can be used for maybe a library to monitor the computer and/or block webpages (That's another thread!).Anyhow, how would I be able to have my program run before anybody logs on. Would it have to be a Windows Service? How could I get it to be running in safe mode, too.
View 6 RepliesI am writing a simple password self service app that allows users to change their password and unlock their accounts. My last step is to figure out how to get it on the login screen. Basically so users can run it before logging in (necessary because this

View 3 RepliesAt the moment when i run my form1.vb program it runs in the top left of my screen, when i save it as an application and then open it from a shortcut will it still do this or will it open in the centre of the screen? In the designer it is in the top left of the screen, is there a way to move it here? as my assumption (which is probably wrong) is that the position it is in the designer is the position it is as an application? Is that right? and if it is how to i change the position in the designer?

We are running XP workstations in an Active Directory domain. I used gpedit.msc to setup a startup script that launchs Spy++. This works, and just before the login screen comes up, Spy++ pops up. The only problem is, the Spy++ window then goes away just before the login window loads.
I want to use Spy++ to find the attributes of the XP (Active Directory) login window. Is there a way to do this?

I have an application than disables the screen saver temporarily in order to run a slide show. I use this to turn it on or off:
i = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE, active, Nothing, SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE)
This works fine in XP. In Windows 7, it disables the screen saver properly. However, when it is enabled again, at the normal time for the screen saver to come on, the system asks for a password instead of showing the screen saver.From this time on until the screen saver settings are adjusted in the control panel, the password screen is displayed in place of the screen saver.Is there something else I should be doing for Windows 7? I understand that SPI_GETSCREENSAVEACTIVE is not supported in Windows 7, but SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE is supposed to be.
I am trying to allow the user to launch the Windows Screen Saver by clicking on a button. I have the following code:

View 2 RepliesI have a windows form with nothing more than 4 picture boxes on there and a button. How (if even possible) can I show this page in full screen mode but at the same time allow each control on the form to format and resize in proportion.The best analogy I can give to describe what I want is when thinking about PowerPoint. When you create a slide and then press the F5 button to go into slideshow mode, no matter what size monitor or resolution you use, it always fills up the screen appropriately.
