in outlook, I use the code below.I open an url, than a second one.I want that the second has the same properties than the first. That is not the case with my code.How can I determine what is my second window, let's call it child, so that I can then do
I have a 3rd party program that puts up a pop up box and asks the user for input. In Spy++ the original program (I'll refer to this as Window A from now on) is a top level window, and the popup (Window B) is also a parent window. However, when I use FindWindow(Nothing, "Captcha Challenge") it returns 0. I've also used a code snippet from the forums
I am trying to find the handle of the child window for the Yes button in the User Account Control window so i can click it. This window has a structure with a few child windows with the same name.
Dim hwnd As IntPtr = FindWindow(Nothing, "User Account Control") Dim hwnd2 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd, 0, "DirectUIHWND", vbNullString) Dim hwnd3 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd2, 0, "CtrlNotifySink", vbNullString) Dim hwnd4 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd3, 0, "Button", "&Yes")
There are multiple CtrNotifySink with its own Button child window or other child windows. How do i search thru the different CtrNotifySink window to find the one that contain the Yes button so i can send a click to it? I do need to find it before i can send a click, right? because i try just sending it to the main window with sendmessage and nothing happen.I even try sending it directly to the handle found by spy++ of the yes button with bm click but nothing happen?
I am looking to close the application when I click a cancel button in a login page, but I don't want to do it in such a way that Window 2 closes itself, but by sending some notification to Main Window, and Main Window closes the application. Here's the code that I have so far:
(in loginPage)
Public Event CloseApp As EventHandler Private Sub CancelButton_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles CancelButton.Click
I have create a project with one main form window and also i have to use a number of other forms as well. now i want to open these other forms inside the main window and not outside. I'm using Visual Studio .NET 2010 as developing environment.
If I show a new non-modal child window using .Show(frmParent), and then the parent window is minimized, the child will get minimized automatically as well.
Right now I have a treeview with 2 parent nodes and each Parent Node has multiple child nodes.I would like to display the text of the Child Node in a textbox. Which I have been unsuccessful.The code I'm displaying below shows both parent and child node. But I only want the child node.
im trying to find the top most window other than my form or its parent form...Background:Im writing software for a TS-MFD (touch screen - Multi function display), it has a docked menu bar at the bottom with the option to pull up an onscreen keyboard. Now the keyboard ive written and works well but the only drawback is i need to specify what window to send the keys too, be it inside my own application or a 3rd party app such as notepad. I believe the answer lies an recursively looping through GetForegroundWindow() from user32.dll and ignoring "Keyboard" and "MenuBar", but I dont know how to advance to the next top most window, i only know how to get the top window...so my window order is likely Keyboard,Menubar,(then the window im trying to grab)?
(vbnet 2008, windows forms)I have a main form (not MDI) with a menu that will open another form as a window on top (I have already set the TopMost property to true). My problem is that it will set this window on top of everything that I open (any program). How can I set this window to be on top of just the main form? I guess I have to declare the main window as its parent, I tried the code below but it didn't work...
Code: Private Sub FilterToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FilterToolStripMenuItem.Click Dim frm As New frmFilter
In my example, Internet Explorer is the parent window. I just want to get the plain text from its child window. For that i need to get the handle of child window.
So I'm adding a tab panel to a child window. A lot of our controls here are user defined but this looks like an ExtJS issue. When I add a tab panel, and then try and add controls and stuff to that panel, everything is cut off on that panel.
Here is the code I am using:
Using ViewDetailsWin As New Pages.ChildWindow With ViewDetailsWin .IconCls = Model.WorkflowStepDefinition.SmallIcon .Ref = "viewDetailsWin"
[code].....
I can't even see the dropdown at all unless I scroll on the tiny little scroll bar it creates. It gives like a quarter inch on the screen to see anything inside the tab panel. There is no size property on the tab panel from what I can see.
I'm trying to open a tool window as a child and although I can set the width to something like 50px wide in the ide, when it opens up its 125px wide. What is there to opening a widow with out much width am I missing.I have turned off the maximize and minimize gadgets and even the whole drag bar. When they open up when I run they are fat again. Looking for something like the tool window in paint.net.
Within my program, I have identified a process via System.Diagnostics.Processand.GetProcesses. Now I need to close one and only one of its windows whose window title i know. How do I do that?
I have an MDI window with multiple child forms. The user can hide or display child windows by checking/unchecking in a View menu on the main form, calling on either the Show or Hide methods for that form. Each time I call the show method do I also have to specify myForm.MdiParent = Me, or do I only have to specify that once, ie does vb remember that the form will always be a child? it doesnt appear to be a form property any more (from vb6).Second question relates to forms themselves. If I have created a form at design time, is it more efficient to create an instance of that form using New, or simply show the form as it is by just loading it.What are the pros or cons, memory and speed wise? In my case I will never need more than one copy of that form to appear, I'm using VB2005.
I'm working on a sdi-like WPF application with VB as the code behind. Basically, I have a main window that has some tabs and a button that opens (shows) another child window. I need that child window to refer back to the parent main window and automatically bring it in focus and have a specific tab selected (via a button on that child). The child window is a separate class file with its own xaml and VB code in my project.In the child I tried using
but this does not appear to work as the main window in the background doesn't appear to be referenced in this way. I can use My.[bla bla].Show() - but that creates a whole new instance of the main window on top of the old one. Activate() doesn't work either since the main window is already activated.It seems like a simple task but am I forced to use something like SetForegroundWindow()?
I have an MDI child window that the title text can be changed, depending on some user interaction. How can I update the 'Window' menu in the MDI parent to reflect the updated window title?
Here's an example of what I mean: I have Microsoft Word open. I click 'Save As' to open the SaveFileDialog. When I try to click back into Word the SvaeFileDialog window flashes and it plays a beep noise. More importantly, it doesn't let the main program gain focus whilst it's open.
I came across an issue which I see has been discussed a few times, but there doesn't seem to be a defintive answer to the question.How can the child windows in Silverlight 4 be dynamically sized to fit within the size of the current browser window?The problem is on smaller displays where the browser window may be smaller than what the child window was originally developed for.What occurs is the OK and Cancel buttons are off the screen and cannot be scrolled to via the browser.You can duplicate this problem by simply shrinking the height of a browser window manually while the child window is displayed.The controls will disappear and there is no way to get to them.This is pretty much simulates what users with smaller monitors see.So the question is how can you set up a child window to dynamically size itself so it users can still interact with it?
Hwnd = WindowFromPoint(Cursor.Position) I can get the Hwnd of every control of an external window is under the cursor. Question: I need only and always the MAIN WINDOW hwnd, everywhere should be the cursor. what API I need?
I need a tool window to act like a mdi child over a chart control. I can't use mdi because I'm using the krypton control ribbon component and they pretty much use all the mdi code in the background. Anything I do mucks it up. So I need a window to float over another control and be bounded by the real estate of that control.
I am trying to create a simple parent-child form in VB2010. I use a datagridview for each table/datasource and each is bound to the paretn/child table and each table grid fills correctly. What I want is the parent-child relation to enforce filling the child table with only rows that fulfill the current row on the parent. I have created a DataRelation in the form load, but it will not permit a relation between tables in 2 different datasets. If I attempt to place both tables in a single dataset and define the PK-FK relation in the SQL Serve,r I cannot create 2 separate datagrids from the same dataset.
how to disable parent window while child is open so the user cannot click any object in the parent window and to Force the user to interactive only with the child
I would like to have one Window (without child-windows) that can have multiple content-sets.For example: I want to have a set of lables and textboxes to save information for an object (like a person). This person has several sub-items. I want to have a set of lables and textboxes for these sub-items in my mainform too. But I don't want the lables- and textboxes-set of these two objects to be both visible at the same time.
