I'm having a problem how to refresh the aplication so that the tray icons changes when reading a txt file that is actualized in 5 to 5 minutes.
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Module Module1
Public Sub Main()[code].....
I have a problem: I have got an application that is mainly control by a tray icon and I can't show the window unless I click the icon, but the client computer has set the system not to show the icons in the tray area. So can I write a small app to act like a hand-make system tray? That means I have to get all the icons in the tray area and be able to send the mouse events to the icons and let them response to their own program.
View 1 Repliescreate a program that enums icons of the tray bar that have been created calling the function ShellNotifyIcon. So my question is how do you do to enum the windows that have called this function and want to appear in the system tray, whit its icons, and display a menu when you click on them. because i want to do the same that explorer.exe does but whit my own program (shell). Is this a secret?
View 2 RepliesI need to list all icons in the system tray (compatibility is only necessary with Windows Vista) programatically using VB.NET. I've tried a ton of googling and forum searching but have discovered applicable code only in C++ or Delphi - I don't understand either well enough to interpret.
This open-source project [URL].. is an exceptional example of what I need to do but I can't figure out how to translate much more than the p/invoke signatures to vb.It's also worth noting that I don't need to control the icons (i.e. hide, destroy), just be able to populate a list of them with information such as their parent process, tooltip text, the actual icon, and it would be really great if it's possible to "see"
the tray's menu options too so they could be exposed through the vb program.
I'm not asking for anyone to write my code for me but a step in the right direction would be a great help. I'm a fast learner; just having problems getting myself headed down the right path here.
my program has a tray icon and i want it to show up in the system tray. so i went into my windows notification area and set it to show icon for my app. But when my app update to a new version with clickonce, it will think its a new app and i have to set it again. Is there a way that it will treat all new version as the same program and i dont have to keep setting it?
View 3 Replies"Getting a list of system tray icons/programs has been a thorn in my side for the past year can get the list as long as explorer is running, but the second explorer is closed, the list will not populate. I'm frustrated beyond belief that I can't find the proper API calls to get the information. If anyone knows how to do this, PLEASE share it here!! I know it is possible, because other shells do it. -Ray"
View 9 RepliesI have simple columns and their respective sums. However, I exclude 1 particular value from each sum, like so [code]...
Now I need to exclude another value ("Awaiting Progression") from a second column called "PROGRESSION".
Since I already exclude value based on 1 column called CATEGORY, how do I change my =Sum(Code.ExcludeOthers(Fields!CATEGORY.Value,Fields!ACTION_PLAN_NEW.Value)) to exclude a value from the PROGRESSION column if it's = ("Awaiting Progression") ?
i.e. How do I exclude multiple values, depending on values in 2 columns in SSRS 2005?
I have a DEM file(Digital Elevattion Model File) and I am trying to open the file,where we have Latitude and Longitude values inside the DEM file.And, Now I have opened the file using Filestream and Read the file using BinaryReader.But, I am having a trobule in getting the values of Latitude and Longitude.I am getting Byte values randomly as 1,202,31,271 etc.But, we dont have latitude and longitude values more than 180,and also I am not getting 16 bit UInt values.For example, the values should be like Latitude 20.00416666666667 and Longitude 39.99583333333333.So,read the correct Byte values of the DEM file.The code I have used till now is:
Dim fs As FileStream = New FileStream("C:UsersadminDesktopHeader and DEM fileE020N40.DEM", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim rd As New BinaryReader(fs)
Dim convertDB As UInt16
For i = 0 To rd.BaseStream.Length

TortoiseSVN and Dropbox both have Windows shell extensions that make file icons within Windows Explorer show a small icon beside the main one, showing the file's status - has it been synced, etc How can I make my application show icons beside files like that using the Windows API? Or is there some file attribute to do that?

i am currently making a project which is to make a cinema screen booking system. Im a beginner of course`*My main problem is that although i have most of what is working i need to find a formula to give the full result (overall price) in a label.*My other problem is the fact that when i interact with my form certain things dont auto refresh when i change certain values e.g i change number of seats but it doesnt auto refresh the price from times1 to times2. OR i click one discount radiobutton which works then another after but nothing changes and it keeps the first radiobutton's value.Okay in my menu i have a ComboBox (ComboBoxScreen) for choosing the film and there are 3 films to choose from in the drop menu each with their own price.I also have a Textbox (NumberSeats) for inputting a number of seats you want to book for the chosen film.And lastly there are 3 radio buttons each with different discounts.. e.g No discount, 10% off and 25% off. If selected each gives discount to full price.A formula to work out the overall price uses all three functions/tools above.My current code for the combobox and radiobutton part is as follows: [code]

Where FilmCost is the price of each individual film (one is £4.25 shown above)OR lblCost is filmprice times seats.Where TotalDiscount is the discount worked out.Where TotalCost's is a value that can be shown in a label as the overall price.
How To Read Data From The Cd Tray
View 3 RepliesI have a databound combobox that displays a list of items, and I have a windows form that opens after clicking a button that allows me to make changes to the table that the combobox gets it's values from. When I make the changes and save them (successfully) and return to the parent window, the changes aren't reflected in the combobox. If I exit the app and launch it again the changes are reflected perfectly. I've tried me.combobox.refresh() on the forms GotFocus event, but no luck.

View 1 RepliesI im trying to find out if it's possible (using VB.net 08 Xpress) to create an application running solely out of the system tray, no forms - Just the icon and popup notifications.I have been considering building a tray based monitoring system for some time, and while I can get the code to work fine, I still need the thing to start up silently. Using Me.Hide() on Form load doesn't work, and I really don't want to work around using the start-up form as a splash page.I have also looked at making a module, but standard vb.net code just aint doing the job.

I am using VS 2003 framework 1.1

I have an application that uses a NotifyIcon in the tray to hide/restore the application, as well as pop up notices to the user of application events. My application has a notification queue, and I use the NotificationIcon.BalloonTipClosed event to determine when to reset the balloon and show the next notification (if there's one in the queue).
This method seems to work great in both usual causes (user lets the balloon close itself when it times out, and user clicks "X" in balloon to force it to close), but there's a third case where BalloonTipClosed doesn't get called:Notification balloon pops up While it's visible, user right-clicks on notification icon to bring up context menu, causing the balloon to disappear
The BalloonTipClosed event doesn't get triggered in this instance - I figure it's a bug in the framework (I'm using 2.0), but does anybody have an idea around this? If I don't get this event, my application always thinks there's a balloon visible (I have a boolean that prevents it from displaying multiple balloons at once), and it will never show another icon again, as long as it's running.
I'm trying to click on an icon that is in the system tray. I'm sure there is API involved,which i'm sure will work. I Was wondering if there's any kind of code already in Visual Basic, that somehow puts them in an array of some sort. Especially with how sometimes windows will only show active icons. Would be a pain to have to click the arrows to show all icons and then find the icon. Which if it's API, would have to be x/y coordinates.Definitely would be different every time.
View 2 RepliesI have looked on the net for demos of how to display a text message in the system tray, but all I can find are examples which say you need to use trayicons. Where you render your string into a bitmap, and then point the trayicon at the bitmap to display it.
Unfortunately this is no good for what I want to do, the trayicon is limited to only 16x16 pixels, and I want to display a longer message, which will just not fit. I can't resize the size of the icon, and if I make the source bitmap larger, it just gets scaled to fit within the 16x16 space (crushing it together into an awful mess)
So I tried using an array of trayicons and split the bitmap between them, but this also fails, because windows inserts about 3-4 pixels of padding between each tray icon.
