How To Detect The First Application Run
Jan 31, 2012
I want to ask the user a barrage of questions regarding configuration settings within the application. All that is handled, except that I want to ask them on the first run. (Kind of like a "Welcome form".) My question is, what is the easiest way to detect the first run and how would I go about doing so? Side note: regarding the link above, which location would be a good location to set a key value? (I've never really worked with the registry much until now.)

detect whether the current application is a console or a winforms application.The reason that I want to do this is that I am developing a library with a global error handler in it and I need to know what type of application it is in order to be able to subscribe to the appropriate exception event.Obviously I could get the user to pass in a parameter specifying what type of application it is, but I would rather deal with that automatically so its all encapsulated from the user of the class.

I've been looking around the internet and I haven't really found any solution to my problem. Is there a way to perform a function when a user closes the form either by pressing the X button in the top right hand corner? I am using a database that saves what form the user is currently looking at, and when the application is closed I want to say "offline."

I know the default install path of the app and the name of the .exe file, but is there a way to see if it is actually installed? I've seen suggestions for checking registry entries, but I don't know if this app uses any or if if varies for different users on different pc's.

I am looking into programming an application that detects noise levels. If the level is over a specific threshold it will lock a logged on user account. The idea behind this application is to reduce noise levels in a busy IT suite. My question is has anyone written anything similar and did it prove to be effective and is VB the best programming language for the job?

I have a WinForm program developed in VB.Net with Visual Studio 2005. The program needs Microsoft Office Runtime installed atleast on the computer to allow the application to run without any errors.
Is their a way to check the computer to see if the minimum of the Runtime or Microsoft Office is installed on the computer? If either isn't I would like to display a message to the user on the startup of the application that states to atleast go to Microsot's site (I have full link to Runtime Download) and download the runtime for free.
Or is their a way to include the runtime as a component with my install for the application so if it isn't installed on the computer already it will install when the application is installed?

I spent some time with data modems till I realized it's a voice modem that I'm going to need in my application. I see that there are some other commands for a voice modem, although nothing very elaborate. I would imagine you make the call as you would in a data modem ATDT etc and it looks like there is really just one command to send audio...
AT+VTX
AT#VTX
Not sure what this is all about except maybe just different standards? Still not sure about how to detect when the call is answered though. I won't be talking to another modem. Maybe the serial port itself has a pin change or something? You would think there would be a bit "somewhere" that the modem would generate when it quits ringing. I may have build my own outboard box to do this. (easy enough -- probably more reliable too -- modems sure need rebooting a lot it seems).
Here is the goal though --Voice modem calls out, call is answered, and I inject my audio from the PC sound card for a minute or so and then tell the modem to hangup.

I am in process to develop an application for Windows Mobile 6.5 using Visual Basic 2005 and .NET Compact Framework. My problem is that I want to know if an instance of my application is already running and, in that case, I want to jump directly to that instance, without starting another one. I tried several solutions found on the internet but I think there are solution for desktop applications not for mobile applications because I have a lot of errors.

I have made my application to start automaticly when windows start (registry ../currentversion/run/appname + path). In this mode the application start minimized and an little icon appear in the notification icon area. With this icon you can maximize the app or exit it.If you exit the app and start it again using the Menu (Start/programs etc) than the application start in minimized mode (and in this case I would like to have it in normal mode) because the setting autostart is still true.Is there a way you can detect when the application start when windows startup using the above registry or when people click on an icon in the programs menu (or desktop)?

How can I detect when the WMP has reached the end of the current song? I'm making a media player, and have my songs in a list box. Here is my code for playing a song.
CurrentSong = SongPaths.SelectedItem
WMP.URL = CurrentSong
Label2.Text = "Now Playing: " & Songs.SelectedItem
Songs and SongPaths are both listboxes (SongPaths is hidden) As you might have guess, Songs has the song names in it, and SongPaths has their directory path, the two listboxes are in-sync (Choosing "SongA" in Songs, will select the directory of it in SongPaths)What I need to do, is detect when a song is over, so I can call this code:
i = i + 1
Songs.SelectedIndex = i
'Will select the corresponding item in SongPaths as well.
