Layer Some Program To Take Up The Space Of The Wallpaper
Feb 9, 2010
I am trying to layer some program to take up the space of the wallpaper, like maybe just below the icons but above the wallpaper? Does anyone know if this is possible? Anyways, I am trying to make some video thing behind the icons but above the wallpaper to let u know of things that will happen if you start messing with the computer, as a simple, don't mess with things doesn't seem to work.
I am generally following this tutorial, the main differences being I'm using 2008 R2 Express and Windows Forms, he is using 2005 & ASP.NET Web Site:'m building a minimalist Windows Form project for learning purposes. So I'm using a 1-table database with 2 columns, ContactID & Name. I added a dataset file, 'ContactsDataSet.xsd' to my project and added a single minimalist table adapter with just a fill() & getdata() method.Then I added a DataGridView control and connected it to the ContactsDataSet to confirm it was working and that worked fine. I ran it and it filled up with data as expected. Everything up to this point was auto-generated code.
i have written a small program to set wallpaper on the desktop when i change the wallpaper then if I refresh the desktop then problem is that,wall paper is disappeared and a blue screen comes.secondly i want few changes i want to set wallpaper as Tile,Center and stretch i want to use radio buttons on the form for this purpose so how can i make these changes.
I am working in VB.NET defining my own classes. I have 5 classes, Policy, Coverage, CoverageCollection, Layer, and LayerCollection. Policy has a bunch of data items, one of which is of type CoverageCollection. Coverage has a bunch of data items, one of which is of type LayerCollection.
Policy private id as Long private name as String[code].....
Then I do like "dim p as Policy". So, iIn order to get to properties on a Layer, I reference it like p.cov(0).lyr(0).face. What I am trying to do is add a readonly property to Layer that is calculated using some Layer information but also using something from Coverage (or even Policy). I can take this in as a parameter to the property, but I think there should be a way to get at Coverage/Policy information since I am "under" it already. Is there a way to do this?
How would i get a certain text inside a textbox to equal that text space to space or null to space?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If Textbox1.Text.StartsWith(Textbox2.Text + " ") And Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Textbox2.Text) Then Textbox1.Text = Textbox1.Text.Remove(0, Textbox2.TextLength) Textbox3.AppendText("a") End If
Btw: after i finish this step my project will be finished!
I am trying to prototype an application with a data layer on my computer at home using Visual Basic 2008 express edition with SQL Server Compact 3.5. My production situation at work is SQL Server 2000 and I am using Visual Basic 2005 professional for development.I am trying to write the code to create a seperate data layer. Here is my code. First the data layer:
Imports System.Data Imports[code].....
My Problem is that the data does not show up in the text boxes.
I have a translator and i have everything working, but if you put a space at the beginning of the first word typed, or you have more than one space between words, it crashes and give me "System.ArguementOutOfRangeException"
the code is
Private Sub btnConvert_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnConvert.Click Dim boolhpunct As Boolean = False Dim strpunctuation As String
I have been undertaking the task of creating a POS system in VB.NET, everything is going good, but for some reason, I am having a hard time with a simple string....When I'm creating my receipt, I'm using html code within a string, then load the string into a webbrowser, this way I can easily format text and use a simple css file to change things, anyway this works well except for when I'm generating a bar code.
sREC contains all the information for the receipt that is the set to a WebBrowserControl Document text and saved as an html file. the output of that line of code is "*1243-2* " minus the quotations. I don't understand why the trailing space is added?
--EDIT--I know that is not in the variable, because I have tried the following as well
hit the space bar every * seconds. When you hold down a key it will spam 3 times every 2 seconds. Or whenever you press space (meaning the key). I need the exact codes. I've tried Sendkeys.send {"Space"} Etc.
I've been trying for a while. I cant seem to figure it out. Please simple codes if possible.
Ok, so I was playing around with Ninject, a "Service Layer" and a "Repository Layer".I built a simple console application to to play around, this is what I came up with:
Imports Ninject Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim Kernel As IKernel = New StandardKernel(New CustomerModule) Dim Service = Kernel.Get(Of CustomerService)() Console.WriteLine(Service.GetCustomerByID(1).Name) Console.Read()
How can I tell what the size of my program is and how much disk space is needed to install. When I publish the program and install it on another machine it will show up in the control panel but does not show what size the program is?Also when I publish updates with it says something like installing 10mb. Is this an additional 10 mb everytime, I guess not, but can someone explain what it all means?
I have a program that is running with a Data Connection to Database MS Access Office 2007. I maxed the Database at 1.97 GBytes of memory. I then inserted the Database into my VBasic Program and tried to compile. The compiler gave an error at the Me.ChemicalsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.Chemistry2aDataSet.Chemicals)
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.ChemicalsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.Chemistry2aDataSet.Chemicals) radPrefix.Checked = True
I've made a program to change a computers wallpaper through VB which works perfectly UNLESS as your browsing for the picture you press the cancel button. The code on the browse button:
Dim dlg As OpenFileDialog = New OpenFileDialog dlg.Filter = "Image Files (*.bmp, *.gif, *.jpg)|*.bmp;*.gif;*.jpg" dlg.Title = "Select the image to load."
[code]....
Is there anything that can be added to the code so that the user is able to cancel looking for a picture without it crashing?
I am having in VB.NET 2010. I am writing an app to change the background wallpaper kinda a little project I am making for my wife's grandma. It is a multiple wallpaper changer to change the wallpaper based on a list of images she adds. Anyways! I have everything setup except the fact that it doesn't change the wallpaper...
This code here:
Public Declare Auto Function SystemParametersInfo Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal uAction As Integer, _ ByVal uParam As Integer, _ ByVal lpvParam As String, _
[CODE]...
Will NOT change the wallpaper but the same code works in VB6 I tried it because I have made something like it before in VB6 but it was a game that changed the wallpaper. Anyways, using the above code in VB6 works(well with a change to the SystemParametersInfo declare to work within VB6. But it doesn't work in VB.NET. I have NO IDEA why everything gets set in the registry just fine from VB.NET but I just cannot seem to get it to update the wallpaper...

I'm trying to update my wallpaper with VB.NET and it's not working. Weird thing is, this same code works fine on my other machines (same OSes, Win XP Pro SP3). My code grabs a random picture then passes it to the SetWallpaper function:
<System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImportAttribute("user32.dll", EntryPoint:="SystemParametersInfoW")> _ Public Shared Function SystemParametersInfo(ByVal uiAction As UInteger, ByVal uiParam As UInteger, ByVal pvParam As System.IntPtr, ByVal fWinIni As UInteger) As <System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalAsAttribute(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.Bool)> Boolean
I have a logon script which changes the desktop brackground picture in the registry. The only problem is this change isn't applied until the user logs off and on again. I currently use a small program which uses SHChangeNotify(&H8000000, &H1000, 0, 0) but this will not refresh the wallpaper. I was also hoping this would refresh the Taskbar because I change a registry setting which removes a toolbar.
I have windows 7 background setup as a slideshow to change picture every 30 min. But when i use SystemParametersInfo in my program to set the wallpaper so i can see how it looks on screen, the wallpaper no long change like a slideshow. How can i display an image in the background but keep the current desktop background setting unchanged so that it will stay a slideshow on the location it was set?
I am using a picture box. I want to be able to use the Space or Enter key to change the image in it. For that, I try to use the keydown function as follow:
Private Sub ChestWindow_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown Select Case e.KeyCode Case Keys.NumPad1[code]....
is the function which changes the image. It works well when I press '1' on my numeric part of the keyboard as a test.The issue is that when I press Space or Enter, the form containing the picturebox closes. (I've already put the keyPreview property to True)
i got this code to change the desktop background from a forum.[code]the SetWallpaper function was written by me as the ChangeWallpaper only works on .bmp files.all these code works but my problem is that i need this wallpaper to be stretched because some of my pictures are smaller or larger than 1280 by 800 pixel which is my pc monitor dimensions. i've tried to tweak the ConvertBitmap function (as you can see in the comments) to produce bmp's to my screen size but it doesn't work.i need to set the pictures (.bmp or not) to be stretched and i don't know about dlls and stuff
Any visual basic net code to make the application run between desktop icon and background wallpaper. It mean if that application is running in background the icon in the desktop should be selectable..
