I'm not sure where should I post this as this is not really related to VB.NET but since I'm always here(in the VB.NET section) I'm gonna ask here.How do I make an icon that won't lose it's quality? I tried so many dimensions already. 32x32, 250x250, 16x16, 64x64.It will lose it quality on Desktop and taskbar. An icon like the IE's, Visual Studio's, Google Chrome's icons.. icons that doesn't lose quality.

Below is the code I am using to add a tool bar and add the icon to the button. I am having a problem with the quality of the icon. The icon is 32X32 and has looks good viewing in windows explore. When it is viewed in the imagelist the quality is very poor. What can I do?
Code:
Dim tsView_ZoomIn As New ToolStripButton("")
AddHandler tsView_ZoomIn.Click, AddressOf ZoomIn_Click
tsView_ZoomIn.Image = ImageList1.Images(0)

Im trying to make the an icon for the form work with my own icon, because all programs have their own(like ie hat the e and paint.net has their logo), but whenever I put in my icon phote(and it is saved as .Ico) it comes up with the error: Argument 'picture' must be a picture that can be used as an icon. I have the same measurments as the defult one(32 by 32) so what am i doing wrong?

View 2 RepliesHow do I make my program use different resolutions of the same icon?
If I use a 32x32 icon, the 16x16 icon in the window becomes blur
If I use a 16x16 icon, the 32x32 icon in the taskbar becomes blur
I tried using a multi resolution icon but I can't get the program to use the different resolutions of it.
i want the icon of my application to flash when an event triggers (upload complete) like this for example i use VS2008 and i've been guess-working the code.

View 16 RepliesI tried a few different way but just can't see to get it. Seems if I set the parent icon to what I want, selected and unselected, it also changes the children. What I am after is to have a parent icon that does not change regardless if it is selected or unselected. But the children will follow the icons for selected and unselected. If I don't add a third icon it all works fine, so how do I add one to parent but not change the children?

View 2 RepliesI have a VB method
Public Sub append_text(ByVal s As String)
f1.TextBox1.AppendText(s)
End Sub
which is called over COM from C++
_bstr_t b(L"test

ATLENSURE_SUCCEEDED(t->append_text(b));
But the text box ends up saying
testnewlines
Without the aforementioned new lines.Why is that then?
My FormLoad event contains a simple line which is Me.Hide. Then I make the tray icon visible so the application can be shown if the user needs it. However, the Me.Hide statement doesn't work during the form load procedure. It seems to work fine after the form has been loaded. So, my question is, how can I simply stop the form from becoming visible in the first place or hide it after it has loaded?

View 1 RepliesI added some fields to a table in my Access database which is the dataset in my VB.NET 2008 project. So now I'm going to have to re-configure the dataset. (Data/Show data sources/configure dataset with Wizard - at least that's the way I know to do it). Will this wipe out the exixting queries in my table adapters? Even on tables that have not been changed? If so, is there any way to avoid this?

View 3 RepliesI have an Unhandled Exception handler that does something like this[code]...
So it looks like from the "add" that the last person that subscribes to Application.ThreadException is the one who gets it (it's not additive as most event handlers are). I don't want to give up my subscription to this eventhandler no matter what. Can anyone think of a way that I could track when I lose my subscription to the Application.ThreadException so I can steal it back from whoever stole it from me?

I want to develop an app which won't allow the user to open or jump to another application while it is open. It should be in Visual Basic. For example, if my application is open (running) and the user tries to open any other windows application like "media player" then it shouldn't open. The app should not even allow "task manager" to run. The application should completely block the windows environment while it is running.
View 2 RepliesI've got a lose focus textbox which when data in entered and the tab key is hit the code is executed as expected and a message box appears informing the user of the outcome. However when I used a barcode scanner with a tab function embedded, the code is executed and the data is inserted into a database but the textbox to say if the request was successfully completed or not does not show as expected.
View 1 RepliesI found some great code on capturing webcam images but the problem is the client PC will need to initiate the communication to this server (click Connect to server IP). This is like 2 way communication.How can i do something like this (door Kiosk system):when a visitor press a button on the LCD that come along a web cam (this will be the server), it will send the signal the client PC that is installed with the application i've created (window form) and pop up the images to the client PC (more like a 1 way communication). This image is captured through the web cam on the server to capture the visotor's image waiting outside of the door. How to do this?I'm really stuck as i'm not familiar with window API programming yet.
1) how to do the mentioned 1 way communication? possible in .NET?
2) how to make my application to be at the tray icon just next to the time displayed on the right bottom corner of the task bar? When a visitor press a button o the server, it will pop up a window form on the client PC showing the image captured via the server's webcam outside of the door.
I have a serializable Message class that has a Data As Object property that I'm using as a generic holder for information to be sent via a system that uses a combination of push technology and/or IPC to communicate with any other programs that are interested in the information. This allows the communication piece to be agnostic of the information it transmits.
I was serializing this Data As Object as a Byte[], since I was worried about how an Object being serialized and transmitted across the network would behave on the other side. However, when deserializing I get errors about being unable to find the assembly for the types stored within my Data As Object property, because I'm deserializing in the assembly that contains the Message class... not the assembly that contains the type that Data As Object originally was.I was wondering if I'd lose the type information and be unable to cast it back to the type I want at the other end. Perhaps it's not possible to pass a type as an Object via another assembly without it knowing about my type?
