View 2 RepliesAPIs With 'File Download' Dialog?
Jul 13, 2011I am currently working on an application to automate file download(s). My main application is running a query for downloads with embedded browser. When the results are returned they need to be downloaded and saved. This works fine. The last step of the process it to start download and the 'File Download' dialog pops up. I wanted to create another application that would monitor for the 'File Dialog' windows (knowing the main application Process ID I can ensure that I find only the dialogs generated by my application).

View 11 RepliesCompatible Sendmessage And Sendmessagetimeout APIs?
Jan 26, 2012I need an API for sendmessage and sendmessagetimeout for my VB .net application. I have searched quite a bit, and everything I find doesn't seem to work: either the message just doesnt seem to be sent, or the message appears to be sent with the msg parameter always 0, and the wparam setting as what I enter for the msg setting. Pinvoke's also always seems to throw an AccessViolationException for I have no idea what reason. I tried playing around with maybe just where I put the variable, but unsurprisingly, there is not a simple logical switch of the variables.I have tried pinvoke's:
<DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError:=True)> _
Public Shared Function SendMessageTimeout(ByVal windowHandle As IntPtr, ByVal Msg As Integer, ByVal wParam As IntPtr, ByVal lParam As IntPtr, ByVal flags As

View 1 RepliesSwitchParent - App With The SetParent And SetWindowLong APIs
Feb 3, 2011I have consumed a word doc in my app with the SetParent and SetWindowLong APIs. When I close the app I want to leave the word doc open. I have used the SetParent and used IntPtr.Zero(2nd parameter) which kinda works - it just does not have a document border. Would I use the SetWindowLong function - if so what would the parameters be? I have looked at the SetWindowLong function, just not sure about the second and last parameters. What would be the proper way to do this?

View 5 RepliesC# - Organizing .NET P/Invoke Code To Win32 APIs?
Mar 12, 2010I am refactoring a large and complicated code base in .NET that makes heavy use of P/Invoke to Win32 APIs. The structure of the project is not the greatest and I am finding DllImport statements all over the place, very often duplicated for the same function, and also declared in a variety of ways:The import directives and methods are sometimes declared as public, sometimes private, sometimes as static and sometimes as instance methods. My worry is that refactoring may have unintended consequences but this might be unavoidable.
My instict is to organize a static/shared Win32 P/Invoke API class that lists all of these methods and associated constants in one file... EDIT There are over 70 imports to the user32 DLL.(The code base is made up of over 20 projects with a lot of windows message passing and cross-thread calls. It's also a VB.NET project upgraded from VB6 if that makes a difference.)
Can't Find Any Reference Material Online For These APIs
Mar 10, 2012I'm having some problems with some API calls. I'm trying to return device driver information for a given device in device manager so I can access the available information and display it. I'm using a series of API calls which in turn populates a list with device driver objects associated with that device. The API calls fail. The problem is that I can't find any reference material online for these APIs so I can figure out what's wrong. [code]

Sep 19, 2010I have always wondered about this and seen this among lots of programmers. Why is a VB programmer or VB code easily dismissed as too noobish and easy while the same does not apply to Python or Python code? After all, isn't Python as easy as VB is? And it does provide drag-n-drop GUI application building also. So why is it that VB is flamed and yet Python is not?

Python Use In VB .Net As Compared To Excel?
May 1, 2012I have an interesting issue I've run into where I can easily tap into python code from VB in an excel instance, as described here: Calling python script from excel/vba.However, when I mimic the exact same code structure in visual studio in a form, the pyscript.language = "python" line fails. Does anyone know if MSScriptControl.ScriptControl can be used in VB .Net to control python like you can in excel? This would be a lot easier than setting up a com object for my python scripts.

How To Set Option Button Values Via Python
Feb 24, 2011I'm writing a python plugin for a geo referencing program called QGIS where I want an Excel sheet to do all my calculations for me. For different data points I need to set certain input values into the spreadsheet (which was already written by someone else). I'm fine setting the int values (using win32com.client) with
sheet.Cells(row, col).Value = value
For radio buttons I would expect it to work like so:
sheet.opt_name.Value = True
But I get the error message:
AttributeError: '<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library._Worksheet instance at 0x232878608>' object has no attribute 'opt_name'
What are the options attributes of? How do I set their values?

Run A Python Script Inside A Application
Apr 17, 2011I am trying to run a python script inside a vb.net application, which means executing the code inside vb.net instead of runing it external. The problem is:
I am using MsScriptControl and set the language to "python", I tried to run it and get the error "A script engine for the specified language can not be created". My research has told me i need these keys in my registry. The problem is I cant find them so how to I make them. Or even better a full solution to my problem.
