Variable Type For The "buffer" Required In LParam Of The WM_GETTEXT SendMessage?
Dec 26, 2010
I'm trying to teach myself to use SendMessage to manipulate other windows and have been reading as much as possible on the net to understand how to do this. I've come upon a problem though that I have been unable to find an answer for on the net. Currently I'm attempting to read text from another window. I am under the impression that I use FindWindowEx to dig into a target window's handle and find the controls in the form, although I still haven't been able to do it successfully. I read somewhere that I use Spy++ to find the names of the classes I am searching for with FindWindowEx, and that once I have the handle of the specific control containing the text I use SendMessage to send it a WM_GETTEXT message. The problem I'm having is that for the lParam MSDN says that SendMessage needs a "Buffer", and I'm not sure how to use one of those. I tried using the type Buffer, but that didn't seem to work. Is buffer a euphamism for a certain variable type? I tried using IntPtr as well but the returned IntPtr was always IntPtr.Zero...
So basically my questions are:
1. How exactly can I use FindWindowEx to locate a control's handle? I'm having trouble getting it to work, but I'm probably just not understanding how it functions.
2. What is the variable type for the "buffer" required in lParam of the WM_GETTEXT SendMessage?

I have this function:
Public Sub DoStuff(ByVal type as System.Type, ByVal value as Object)
End Sub
The 'value' argument is always an array of the same type as 'type'. How can I loop through the values of the array?
I'd like to be able to do something like this:
DoStuff(GetType(Integer), New Integer(){1,2,3})
Public Sub DoStuff(ByVal type as System.Type, ByVal value as Object)
//Strongly types arr as Integer()

I'm aware that questions like this have been asked before and I doubt it's possible, but I just wanted to make 100% sure that it isn't.In VB.net or C# (either language, it doesn't matter), I want to cast a variable to a type represented by another Type variable. Here's an example of the kind of code that would be needed in C#:
Object castMe = new Foo();
Type castTo = typeof(Foo);
Foo beenCast = (castTo.GetRepresentedType())castMe;

We are using a custom API in our project which provide an attribute for class fields/members which lets the interface to present a popup of some range values like "On/OFF" and pass the corresponding values of the choice to our code. The attribute requires a string array to know that values.We have many enumerations defined for these ranges,We are thinking to use Enum.GetValues() kind method to get a string array for this method.However, As we know the field declaration do not allow dynamic values in the declaration? so is there any other of doing same thing in efficient way.To clerify the problem i will write the examples below;
Current Working
<RangeLookUp("On:1","Off:2")> Public ASimpleRangeVariable As Integer
While I wanted to do like this or kind of
<RangeLookUp(SomeMethod())> Public ASimpleRangeVariable As Integer
Public Shared Function SomeMethod() as String()
'use Enum to get all the items as string values forexample Enum.GetValues & enu,.GetValues [code]....
Where SomeMethod suppose to return string array to be passed in the RangeLookup constructor.Which means if we change enumeration then we don't have to update the declaration.i know there are better ways to do it but due to some custom API, the ground is limited.

People have posted code to drag a borderless form using a Windows Message, both on this forum and in the CodeBank. This method has a drawback: you can't drag the form higher than the top of the screen -- or rather you can, but it immediately flips back again when you release the mouse button. I would like to change that behaviour.
After some time poring over the stream of windows messages, I found that the flip-back occurs whenever there is a WM_CAPTURECHANGED message immediately followed by a WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING. The latter message contains a pointer to a WINDOWPOS Structure in its LParam field. Apparently it is possible to annul the impending change of position by setting the NOMOVE flag of that WINDOWPOS.

Is there a .net namespace or similar/simpler way to get text from windows and child classes (controls) other than using a Win32 API messages?I think there is a way to get the handle of the active window in .net without WinAPI. Anyone know what namespace/class does that?

Public Class Form1
Dim x, c, number(0 To 19) As Integer
Dim s As Integer
[CODE]...
The variables in the brackets [example] do not actually have brackets in them in the original code. These are where the issues are. For both variables, it says, "The type for variable [variable] will not be inferred because it is bound to a field in an enclosing scope. Either change the name of [variable], or use the fully qualified name (for example, 'Me.[variable]' or 'MyBase.[variable]')." Now, I'm not entirely sure if this is a stupid question or not, as I'm used to VB '98 because that's what we use in my programming class at High School. let me know why this won't work.
-Note: The intention of this program is to continually loop the generation of numbers for this list until I tell it to stop. Button1 ends the program, Button2 generates the list one time only, Button3 is supposed to loop the generation of the list, and Button4 is supposed to end the loop, but not the program.

I am looking for a good resource on variable naming conventions to illustrate variable type and where variables are declared. So I will have public variables, Private variables, private or local variables. I also may want to declare variables with the same name in different class code (i.e. in the code behind different forms). I am assuming good coding would dicatate a prefix for declaration location.

Writing an asp.net mvc app and i have something like this...
Public Class AA
'... has some variables...
End Class
Public Class BB
[code]....
So, now in my program, i just want to copy object of type AA to an empty variable of type BB?it makes sense to do this, as i expect all the fields in AA type object to be copied to the newly created BB type object, and the ExtraVariable in the BB type object i would (will) just assign a value to it later (after the copy) on my own time!!I know copying BB type to AA type would not be appropriate as there would be lost data!But im trying to copy AA to BB, I've used both DirectCast and CType to do this, and i keep getting "unable to cast" error!
Note: I'm using vb.net (but can read c#, no problems)

I recently downloaded VB 2010 Express so i am quite new to the language, but i have worked with dark basic, which seems to b very similar.Anyway, my problem is that i cannot seem to correctly set out my array of a custom type/class. i am trying to create two arrays, one of available entities and another of selected entities of which the user selects the entities to be dealt with in irrelevant ways. i have creates a button (called test) which adds some entities to the available list and all the entities come back the same value but they shouldnt be as you'll c in the code. i have run the step into command a found that "available.item(#).Name = " will change all of the entity's names.As of current i am working with lists as the array kept asking for a 'new' statement but i couldnt figure out where to put it.[code]

I have a BaseClass, a DerivedClass1 and a DerivedClass2 from a third party library. DerivedClass1 and DerivedClass2 both inherit from BaseClass.There's a ContainerClass, from the same library, with a member variable ActiveItem, which can be of DerivedClass1 or DerivedClass2, so it is declared as BaseClass.I want to know if ActiveItem is of DerivedClass1, as it can change in runtime without notice.If I do
Dim isDerivedClass1 as boolean = TypeOf(oject.ActiveItem) Is DerivedClass1
then I get a compile time error, telling me that ActiveItem can never be of DerivedClass1 type.I have tried several combinations of GetType and TypeOf but it doesn't seem possible to check this. I have also tried to declare an auxiliary DerivedClass1 variable and comparing their types, but haven't got any luck either.
Edit:The following code doesn't compile in vs2005 SP1.

Public x As Integer

Im trying to grasp session varibles, i understand what they are etc but i would like to know how to define a type for each session variable.Iv written it like this
Session("Title") = txtTitleContent.Text
How can i tell it what type of value is going to be in it, because at the moment im only playing about with strings, but what if i have an integer and want to pass it back to the back end to save it will throw an error saying "conversion from string to integer is not valid" should i use Cint to deal with this?

So, let's say I have this code (VB.Net)[code]...
What I don't like is:
- relies upon reflection
- loosely typed (no compile time checking)
- I'd rather store the binding information somewhere other than ID, but don't know where else it could go within the aspx definition. Moving the binding declaration to the code behind would be better in some ways, but worse in others.
