View 18 RepliesWay For Service To Detect When Logon Screen Is Present And When It's Gone?
May 25, 2010I am planning on creating a service that measures the bootup time for a computer. It would go something like this:
1. Service starts and waits for CTRL+ALT+DEL screen
2. Timer starts when logon screen appears
3. User logs in and timer stops
4. Service waits for process X to start
5. Process X starts and service gets System.Environment.TickCount
6. Service subtracts step 3 ticks from tickcount
The reason for the logon screen timer is I don't want to measure if the user booted up and went for coffee or something and shows up 20 mins later to log in. Is there any way for the service to detect when the logon screen is present and when it's gone?

View 2 RepliesScreen Blanks After 1 Min Of Processing (of Excel File) / Refresh Or Freeze Screen To Avoid Blank Screen?
Jun 29, 2011BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?

Form Height Limit, Make The Form Larger Than The Screen And Allow For Scrolling Down?
Nov 17, 2011I have read that VB .NET in earlier versions limited the FORM size to that of the development machine screen resolution.I am hoping that there is a way in the current VB 2010 to get around that.However in my attempts to make the form larger, it always resets itself to the screen height on my develoment machine.Is there a way to get around this and have the person be able to use a scroll bar to move down?The data I wish to show actually has two screens worth of information but the stuff in the scroll down section would be used on a limitied basis so scrolling will be useful rather than having to recreat the screen to show less data at one time.

View 6 RepliesForm.Left And Form.Top To A Different Screen Don't Work?
Aug 24, 2009I've run into a little problem recently. My computer has two screens sitting side-by-side.
Here are the dimensions for my first screen: {X = 0 Y = 0 Width = 1280 Height = 1024}
Here are the dimensions for my second screen: {X = 1280 Y = 0 Width = 1280 Height = 1024}
My form saves its position on exit into the Registry. Whenever I start my application, I set its opacity to 0 in the constructor and it goes to my first screen. While its opacity is at 0, I then move it to its previous location (1280, 0) like this:
thisForm.Left = X
thisForm.Top = Y
Where X = 1028 and Y = 0.
I place a breakpoint directly in front of those assignments and when I hover over thisForm.Left, it = -4. Whenever I hover over thisForm.Top, it = -4.
Sure enough, when my form comes up, it's in my first screen.
For those interested, I've now worked around it, by doing some additional testing. What caused it: My Window State was Maximized. Solution: If before I set these positions, I change my Window State to Normal, the form moves. I can then maximize it while it's on the second screen and it remains there. why I can't move my form while it's maximized? It's more for curiosity than to find a solution, since the work-around is actually working quite well.

View 6 RepliesAny Way To Create App With One Screen On Form?
Dec 15, 2011I know that when you are working in vb.net, you are using forms, so in conclusion you will have an application with multi-windows. My questions is next: How you can do it, to have all the application screen in a main form. I have an application which assists me to manage the products and the customers. Normally with the forms, if I press on: Add new customer or Add a new product, I will have a new windows pop-uped. I want to have both on the same form. When I press on new custom to see the specific screen and when I press on the new product to see its screen. I tried now using panels and tableLayoutPanels using the property visible, but I'm sure it is not the best way to do it.

Apr 4, 2010I know how to take a screenshot, but how can I take a screenshot of the screen behind my form without hiding the form, taking the screenshot, then showing the form again?The reason I can't simply hide the form to capture the screen behind it is that I need to take the screenshot repeatedly, and hiding the form each time I need to take the screenshot would cause the form to flicker.

View 5 RepliesDisplaying Form With WMP Control On Another Screen?
Jun 11, 2011I am writing a program to control light and sound for a show I'm working on.
The program has buttons and stuff controlling music and sound effects but I am at a loss as to how to get the video part to work.
My computer is hooked up to a projector in extended desktop mode. (I can't change that, otherwise my control panel would show up on the big screen.
I need the video to display on Screen 2 (the projector), so I made a form and used this code:
Dim screen As Screen
screen = screen.AllScreens(1) 'the array is 0 based
Form2.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual
Form2.Location = screen.Bounds.Location + New Point(0, 0)
Form2.ShowDialog()
to display it when I press a button. This worked fine, I set form2's border to none and fullscreened it, tested again, no probs. My problem arose when I tried to add a WMP ActiveX control. I ran the program, pressed the button, and... form2 (along with WMP) appeared on my laptop display. I desperately need this by tomorrow. If no solution is available, is there an alternative to WMP?
