Integrate Win7 Taskbar Progress Without The External DLLs?
Jul 1, 2010
Hey trying to make a fancy little app here in VB.NET framework 4.I've seen several programs which utilise windows 7's taskbar progressbar, but they have it embedded in the application when i googled and attempted to do this, my program had to lug around 3 extra dlls when its supposed to be a single executable, and highly portable. how can i gain access to the taskbar progressbar without having to drag about these resources?

I am looking for a way to implement a PrograssBar on Application TaskBar item on Windows 7 as you can see in Windows 7 like when copying files! I need to do it with a few lines in Visual Basic .NET 2008. I know there is a Windows API Code Pack by Microsoft but it's a large collection and written in C#. How to do this in VB.NET without using a .dll reference?

I've been playing around with Windows 7 taskbar thumbnail previews. I've noticed that some Microsoft applications are able to set thumbnail images which have transparency in background. I've been trying all out and not been able to achieve this.
I've set a picturebox control having PNG with transparency as thumbnail preview, doesnt work. I tried creating a new bitmap and loading from Icon file having transparency and setting it as preview but still doesn't work. It keeps showing the background color of the form window.
This is what Microsoft apps are able to acheive:

I have my program which does not need to be installed, and i have made a .chm. but how can i integrate it into the program, or make it so that when the user opens it, it can actually find the file, because it works on my computer as it says: Process.Start "C:Program.chm" But it doesnt work on other computers becasue the file does not exist.???

I would just like to know if there is a way to integrate a progressbar that shows the progress of the process? I mean when process.Start is activated, that's when the progressbar starts to load until and stops only when process.HasExited.

I do have the Windows 7 API pack and I cannot figure out how to get a taskbar progress bar (TBPG for short). I have tried WPF and no help and most of the code in the API pack is C#.

I asked a question earlier asking how to use the Windows 7 taskbar progress bar without the .dll files, but I realized that in VS2010 you can embed a .dll into your application. I set this option to embed to true, but when trying to use the code for said .dll, I get this error: Interop type "Windows7ProgressBar" cannot be embedded. Use the application interface instead.

I am trying to understand how to interact with external DLLs written in C++ for use in my VB.NET application. I have some DLLs that a client wrote that do some math functions. Everything was working on a 32-bit machine. Because we were taxing the 32-bit machine we moved to 64-bit. Now we can't get the same functions to work. The DLLs were re-compiled as 64-bit DLLs and they still don't work. So my client wrote some dummy DLLs to see if we could figure out the problem. Here are the "signatures" of the DLL calls that I am making:[code]....Ultimately I would like to get to calling initialize_quiet and I am guessing at the format of the marshalling, const size etc.

I have a form in an application I'm working on that normally displays full screen without a taskbar but provide the option to switch to a minimizable window with a taskbar. When I switch from full screen without taskbar to minimizable window with taskbar everything is ok. When I try to switch back to full screen the border disappears but the taskbar is still there and the form is not aligned properly.The text at the top is cut off somewhat and there's a small margin at the right edge that shouldn't be there.I put this code in a keydown event for the form.
If Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None Then
Me.ControlBox = True
Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.Sizable[code]....
How do I get the taskbar to disappear and the form to display properly when I return to the full screen mode?

I am trying to implement a BGW and want to report progress to a progress bar for my TextFieldParser program, sometimes if your opening very large files it takes a while and I would like the user to be able to see the progress and have some interaction so they know the program is still running I am a little hung up on what to in the reportprogress
I have:
worker.ReportProgress(0, myReader.ReadFields())
and its not doing anything, I didnt expect it too since ReadFields is an array
parser
Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork
Dim worker As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker = DirectCast(sender, System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker)

I copied the code here and translate the code to vb [URL]it is working fine but there is one small problem but I cannot solve? Here is my code: SyncClientVB Another Source The scenario is... the progress is reported by an event (OnCopyingFile event)
Public Sub OnCopyingFile(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CopyingFileEventArgs)
If pbFileTransfer.Value <> e.PercentCopied Then
If txtCurrentFile.Text <> e.FilePath Then
txtCurrentFile.Text = e.FilePath
[code]....
The problem is that it is ok when runned but when I click the form it starts to hang but in the console... it is still continuing.
dp.SyntaxHighlighter.ClipboardSwf = '/dp.SyntaxHighlighter/Scripts/clipboard.swf'
dp.SyntaxHighlighter.HighlightAll('6f5d1b01659646618ff3bdca29fb1b7f')

I have two forms, when the user selects a button, the second form opens and an external executable begins an automated process. The point of the second form, is to only show the current progress of the automated tasks and closes when those tasks are completed.How would I use a progress bar to show the current progress of an action on a different form without knowing how long it will take?

frmMain - Allows user to pick process or combination of processes they want to run frmProcess - Shows progress of their selection I have three modules. Each runs a specific process. The frmMain allows the user to run any one of the three modules individually or all together in a single process (basically, runs the one after the other until done).

I wanted to know if it is possible to Zip a folder without any external dll nor any external references - just with native features.I've been able to Zip files with System.IO.Packaging, but it does not include folders and I cannot tell it to Zip the parent folder.I know there are external dll and so, but I'd like to know if it's possible to make it from a native way.

I have a filesystemwatcher which place files in a queue when they are created. From the queue the files are further processed (xml into SQL database).
The mechanism works fine, but I want to add a progress bar to follow the progress of the files in the queue: processing 1 of 10......2 of 10......3 of 10 etc.For testing, I created a batch file to simulate the creation of files, so the filesystemwatcher can to his work and place the files in the queue. When I tell the batchfile to simulate the creation of 20 files, I see that the amount of files in the queue change. For example;

In the app I'm currently making, I have two progress bars. One for current task being committed and the other is for overall progress.During runtime, I calculate how many tasks are being run and set that as the maximum. As each task completes, the progress bar is incremented by one.
I want the current task progress bar to show the progress of the current task. Some tasks can take a few minutes to complete so that progress bar works great. But, if the task is super quick, like editing registry keys, I see no progress at all.When I edit the registry, it basically goes like this:
'Edit Key
'x
'x
'x
ProgressBar1.PerformStep()[code].....
It completes so quickly that I never see the bar even move.I also have each task report its name into a label and it skips ahead so quickly that I only see the first task name and the last.Is there any way to make this do a better job at reporting the progress?

I came across a problem in my program it takes too long to calculate the values needed (about 10 sec) .But thats not the problem you don't know when the program is working or not, as it just locks up until its finshed and I view that as a problem.
I need to be able to show the progress of this .I looked at using background Workers but I get exception "Object reference not set to an instance" I believe this is because the background worker cannot write values or something ,As it works will a normal handler.

I need a graphical front end for my College project. However the modules that perform the core task (facial feature extraction) have been written in C. This was because the company where I am working on this requires that I code in C. I need a front end to show the results to our teachers in college. Since I do not know anything on working with windows and controls in visual c++, I thought of using VB as I know this language well. What I want to know is how do I call these C functions from VB. Here are some details of my C code.
1. Most functions' return values are just for the purpose of error handling. The output is one or more of the arguments itself (I used pointers for this).

I am running Visual Basic 2010 Professional. Recently our Net Admin installed TortoiseCVS for me (I'm the only developer). While it's certainly acceptable to check-in/check-out though thye Windows Explorer, I would much prefer to access CVS through the VB.Net IDE.
Is there any add-ins out there that would allow this?
