Windows API Code Pack
Nov 22, 2010I'm compiling and testing the VB programs in a download from MS of the Windows API Code Pack at url...(which is in VS 2008 and needs to be converted to run on VS 2010). So far I've resolved most of the issues, but a couple are baffling.The code as downloaded for the Taskbar demo refers to icons in the project resources as My.Resources.Green and My.Resources.Yellow and Red. Fatal errors, even though all the help pages say this is the correct way to access them. I got the build to run by removing the "My."; has there been a syntax change between VS 2008 and 2010? When I run the app, I get a message from TaskbarDemo.vshost.exe which says "This demo application needs to register .txt files as associated files to properly execute the Task related features. Filetype is not registered." Does that mean that in trying to debug the app, I have to modify the registry to associate the test program with the .txt filetype?
View 4 RepliesUse Windows API Code Pack In 2010 Express?
Apr 14, 2010I recently downloaded the Windows API code pack for .net, and seeing there was VB.net examples inside there, I opened them up. Upon building I get a warning that the referenced components 'Core' and 'Shell' could not be found. Looking in the code pack folder I see there are no DLLs at all, but instead a whole load of C# sources.
Do I have to download C# Express (which I want to avoid) to use the code pack or are there precompiled DLLs somewhere?
VS 2008 Windows API Code Pack - ApplicationRestartRecoveryManager?
Jun 5, 2011I am looking for verification on whether Application Restart and Recovery APIs work on Windows Vista or not. In the documentation the introduction says it designed for both Windows7 and Vista. Windows API Code Pack for Microsoft® .NET Framework provides a source code library that can be used to access some features of Windows 7 and Windows Vista from managed code.I did surf thru the issue tracker on the API home page, nothing mentioned on restart/recovery issues.
In the download, there are two sample projects specific to restart/recovery of an application, which has stopped responding (AppRestartRecoveryDemo), one in VB.NET and the second in C#. I tried both with dbWin32 to monitor that various operations ran and that there were no exceptions raised. All operations ran without raising an exception other than the restart failed and the initial recovery worked. Before working with the above projects I did rebuild the core libraries rather than use the supplied binaries.
When first running the project you must wait 60 seconds for recovery/restart mode to be possible along with registering for recovery using the following.
ApplicationRestartRecoveryManager.RegisterForApplicationRestart( _
New RestartSettings("/restart", RestartRestrictions.None))
I changed the restrictions above seeing if this would make a difference in regards to restart failing but it did not.In RegisterForApplicationRestart a check is made to ensure the app is running at least under Vista ThrowIfNotVista It works as I am on Vista. Next RegisterApplicationRecoveryCallback sets up the callback method (see figure 1) to invoke when the app crashes. So when a crash occurs I have verified all code up to Debug.WriteLine("Application shutting down...") executes in the Recovery callback and assume that ApplicationRestartRecoveryManager.ApplicationRecoveryFinished(True) and the return statement execute, as there are no exceptions thrown.
After the recovery callback method finishes I expect the app to restart. The "application is not responding" dialog says that the application will now restart but instead the application closes and never restarts. I am curious if someone else has worked with recovery/restart API and had success on Window's Vista to restart an application.' This method is invoked by WER.
Private Function RecoveryProcedure(ByVal state As Object) As Integer
Debug.WriteLine("ARR: Recovery procedure called!!!")
PingSystem()

Windows API Code Pack For Microsoft .NET Framework?
Apr 14, 2010is this even necessary in VS2010 & .NET 4.0? I've been trying to take advantage of the new Windows 7 taskbar interfaces like the Jump List. The MSDN documentation/tutorial instructs me to include a System.Windows.Shell, but apparently Shell isn't a member of System.Windows. I downloaded the API code pack, but I am unsure of what to do with it. The instructions say to open the main solution file and build it:QuoteTo build the library (except the DirectX related features) in Visual Studio 2008, please extract the contents of the �WindowsAPICodePack.zip� file in a new folder and build the included �WindowsAPICodePack.sln� file.And so I did that, but that is the extent of the instructions. I thought maybe it was a Visual Studio extension, so I tried accessing Shell again to no avail. Do I need to add each of the respective namespaces' projects to the target solution to use the API Code pack?

View 9 RepliesVS 2010 - AeroGlass From Windows API Pack - Transparency Key
Nov 29, 2010I decided to have a play around with the Windows API Code Pack and so far it has had some very interesting things. Something which I like in particular is AeroGlass. I have created a project to mess around with it to see how it works etc. and I am having some difficulties with the tranparency. If I put a textbox on the form for example, it displays fine. The text however is barely readable unless the form is over a dark background. The solution seemed obvious. Change the transparency key. However, there wasn't one set. Adding one stops the glass effect from working.

View 1 RepliesWIndows 7 Desktop Refresh And Picture Screensaver?
Nov 9, 2011I am using VB.net in VS2008.I wrote a screensaver that cycles through pictures. When the screensaver exits it sets the desktop background to the last picture loaded using API call SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, sFilePath, SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE Or SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE).The desktop wallpaper refreshes for WinXP and Vista but not Win7.In Win7, if I run the screensaver as an EXE then the desktop background changes when the program ends. If I run it as a screensaver I need click on the desktop and press F5 before the desktop shows the new desktop background (or click and drag with the mouse to show pieces of the new desktop background).I have tried to add delays and even force a refresh by using SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED, SHCNF_IDLIST, Nothing, Nothing) but with no success.

View 5 RepliesForce A Refresh Of All Win Explorer Windows Showing A Particular Folder?
Feb 15, 2009The application I'm developing does some file management chores, such as renaming and deletion of files. I have noticed that often after a file is deleted via code, it is still shown in Windows Explorer although it doesn't exist anymore. A refresh (F5) solves this, however I wouldn't want end users to have to press F5 every couple of minutes when using the application.
Can a refresh of all open Windows Explorer windows be requested via code? Moreover, can the refresh be requested only for windows displaying a particular location? I've thought of getting all open windows, filtering them and then sending the F5 keystroke, however it sounds a bit like overkill. Any easier way to do it?
