We have a vb.net desktop application that uses a number of graphical images. All is well when the Windows Display is set to the default small font; however, when the display is set to the medium (125%) font, the graphical images don't display properly. We can accommodate the changes to windows sizes and text boxes, etc using autoscale and autosize; however, this doesn't help with images. Is there any way to overcome this issue?

View 3 RepliesIn an ideal world, we wouldn't need to educate our users about the "intricacies" of ZIP files One of my apps is a stand-alone-ish app that has no dependencies that need to be installed. Well, except for the Framework of course.So, in order to make the download smaller, I've zipped up the package. One of the functions of the app is to download some files into a subdirectory the application is located within. Well, some users don't unzip the package and as we all know, you can't just download some files into a ZIP file. I spent a good 20 minutes looking through my code and adjusting things to figure out why it wasn't working for one user, when I realized there were no issues in my code and that he probably wasn't unzipping the package.So, does anyone know of a method to determine if the directory my app is in, can be written to?I know I can just try writing a small file or something and catch the exception, but that seems... sloppy.
View 7 RepliesIs it possible to read the GUID from the Assembly without actually loading it in the current App Domain.
Normally Assembly.Load loads the DLL into the app domain. I just want to read the value. The description of the GUID is
'The following GUID is for the ID of the typelib
' if this project is exposed to COM
<Assembly: Guid("DEDDE61CD-928E-4ACD-8C25-3B8577284819")>
The main thing is I don't want to lock the file so that there are no errors 'Another process is accessing the file' error.
Say I have a 5 GB file. I want to split it in the following way.
First 100 MB is on the file
The rest go some reserve file
I do not want to use readalllines kind of function because it's too slow for large files.
I do not want to read the whole file to the memory. I want the program to handle only a medium chunk of data at a time.

View 4 RepliesIn Windows it's possible to Increase the size of on-screen fonts. We realized that too late and if a user does this our programm is unusable because he can not see all texts and controls. We're bringing out a release and we do not have the time to fix that.
So: How can I disable or ignore this increasing from windows application-wide? I tried setting autoscale to none but it is not working. Isn't possible to ignore that setting for the whole application? How can I do that?I know that this is a week solution because the user has a reason why he wants to increase the font size. But we can not fix this problem within two weeks but want to provide an application somebody can work.
Is it possible to Allow users to increase the font size in a windows applications?

I have inherited from a Windows.Forms.Listbox so I could override the OnPaint and OnDrawItem methods in an effort to highlight specific items and alternate backcolors. I am also skipping some DrawItem events to prevent flickering.Everything is working fine, however when I select items in the listbox, it looks like the font is shrinking or becoming more compressed.Then when I mouse leave, the font goes back to its normal size and appearance but the same items are still selected (which is correct). During debugging the font never changes nor do any of its properties, but it does end up looking different when the item is selected and the mousedown event just happened.

View 2 RepliesI've been working on some custom graphics controls, and I found this weird problem with windows 7 rendering my button controls. I've used Photoshop to delete the pixels in the background all around the button image I'm using, then saved it as a GIF, and imported it into VS to use as the background image of my button. When windows XP renders it, it is fine, but when windows 7 renders it, all 4 corners have an odd white border around them.

View 1 RepliesI'm developing a software for my community library, so I'm searching for a VisualBasic.Net code to achieve the following objectives...
1. Get a list of all top windows displayed on a computer...?
2. how would I retrieve the images of these windows...?
basically the scope of the project is to be able to monitor client activity on the library's client computer systems such as being able to tell how many windows are currently displayed on a client's computer and if possible retrieve thumbnail images of the windows...since the library is hooked up to the internet, the software intends to block use of file sharing sites, and pornography. It is easy to block unwanted sites with certain software, that is if you know what site to block, sadly the list of malicious sites is growing daily... so visual monitoring is required...
