View 3 RepliesUsing VB 2010, is it possible to capture all mouse clicks and determine what was clicked?We're trying to develop a small utility that will pop up context based menus to fill in application forms and common strings for terminal sessions.Basically, whenever I middle click I want my app to determine if the window was an occurance of PuTTY. If so, check the titlebar for certain strings and send keystrokes to that window based on the titlebar text.If VB 2010 can't do this, what should I be looking for? Will VB6 apps do the job? Will they work on a Windows 7 PC?

If not, what is a good alternative for quality security and roles control?
I have written a vb.net desktop application for pipe collectors and one of the requests that seems popular is to be able to post pipe details (text) and an image of the pipe onto the user's facebook wall.
Basically the user will bring up their pipe details of choice and be able to click a 'Post To Wall" button which would then post the pipe details onto their wall.

View 1 RepliesWe recently aquired a first generation ipad and after playing around with it, it occurred to me that many elements of my current vb project could find an audience in this technology. The suggested method of developing these apps is with a special software kit and an apple computer. Since this would require an unacceptable investment with my current finances, I am wondering if it is possible to create these apps using visual studio with vb.net, c#, etc.

View 1 RepliesI found some VB6 code over here to get and set icons on the desktop.After converting it to VB.NET and making some minor modifications it should simply save the icon's locations at startup into an array of POINT structures, set all icons to random locations when a button is pressed and put the icons back when the applications exits. When I start the app all icons dissapear and nothing happens when the button is pressed or when I exit (I can get the icons back by aligning them by grid).The VB6 to VB.NET converter gives me a warning when i try to marshal the POINT structure saying that i need special conversion for marshaling non bittable types.
Here's the code:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasicImports Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6Imports SystemImports System.Runtime.InteropServicesImports System.Windows.Forms
Imports Project1.Declarations
Friend Partial Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

simple way to share, only share, in facebook? I see alot of libraries but they come with alot of code and without documentation.
