Way For Service To Detect When Logon Screen Is Present And When It's Gone?
May 25, 2010
I 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?

This might seem obvious but I was doing some research and I was wondering if a service application start an executable. I know an .exe cannot start without some sort of logon but I was wondering if it was possible to work around this by having my service call it.

I'm using Windows 7 Pro (32bit) and have .NET 3.5 and 4 installed.I have written a .NET screensaver and have enabled it to run on the Windows logon screen.[code]BUT when I'm logged in the screensaver works.So it isn't a faulty installation of the .NET framework, or else it wouldn't work fullstop.

I was thinking about replacing my log on screen. I don't just mean changing the background style or whatever, I mean a totally different app, which would allow users to log on and off. I'm prepared to spend a serious amount of time on this, and I just wanted to know if it is concievably possible, and if anyone's ever done it before? I want to do this because I'm sick of the Vista log on screen. This doesn't neccesarily have to be made in vb, I could de-compile the .dll files which make up the logon screen and then re compile them.

I've started building a small game where you move around a PictureBox control with keystrokes using the arrow keys. Everything was working fine....until I added a button.
Now the button steals the focus so that every time I hit an arrow key hoping to move my image, it just selects the button.
Is there any way to make the button selectable only by mouse click?

I use the media player tool in my program and just found out that some people get a serious exception on the loading of the program if they choose not to enable media player. How can I make it so that if they don't have media player enabled that the program won't crash?
I don't know where the designer puts the info to load certain controls, nor do I know how to make the program skip loading a control if it doesn't work.

I am trying to figure out a way to change the SQLSERVERAGENT service Logon password with one of my VB2008 applications. I can't seem to find any place in the registry were the password is stored and can find any solution other than manually going into the service and changing it myself.

I am wanting to create a logon similar to the Windows Live logon, so in other words. user has frmLogon and is located in Australia. The user enters his/her details and then the program connects to a server in the United States and checks the Username and Password to make sure it is correct if it is correct it allows the user to logon and move to the next stage, if it is wrong it will give him an error message. I am wondering if anyone has a tutorial or source code laying around that I can rip apart and see how it works. I want to put the database on my server and connect to it from my desktop using the logon form.

Is there for my .Net application to detect if a user has logged on? It is a Windows Service, so it will be running before logon.What I want to do is display a "popup" when a user logs on to tell them the status of the application

Is there a way to detect screen capture or recording is processing.
Atleast a way to know the process behind screen capturing?
i guess something has to be done with Kernal side of the system but not sure.

How to create a program that detects the screen resolution and change it to 1280x800 or 1024x768? What are the computer requirements to support each of these resolutions. (I don't want for the program to request the user as programs do this especially in Windows Vista, because my program will be created for Windows Vista).

I recently bought this multi-touch monitor (writing on it right now :P), and am creating an application for it. Now I need to detect which screens are touch-enabled. For example, I have the touch screen as my main monitor now, but I also have a secondary regular screen, I need the aplication to be able to detect which monitor has a touch screen, EVEN WHEN THE TOUCH SCREEN IS THE SECONDAY NONITOR!

I'm trying to figure out some simple code to detect when a pixel changes color anywhere on the screen. Maybe with just a msgbox popup when it changes.

I am fairly new to visual basic and have written this program to detect a change in a selected pixel on the screen. When the pixel changes, a sound plays every x seconds. It works fine but after a few hours of operation a possible memory leak causes it to either crash the program or the PC. I have watched the process and I can see 4k added to it every 4 seconds or so. Where this memory leak is coming from?
Here is the code:
Public Class Main
Public pointx As Long
Public pointy As Long
Public areaselected As Integer
Public TimeToPause, SecondTimer, changefound As Integer

My question maybe not be very clear, but I just want to know how this process is called or references needed to create something similar, so I can investigate on my own ( but if you have code is welcome.Basically I have 2 desktop programs ( A and B). For A, I do not have the source code, for B I do.What I need is to create some service/program that after a screen pops up from program A, automatically runs B. IN other words, capture the moment a specific screen is shown in A and execute B.
My real life scenario is that I have a very basic POS where I can't collect customer demographics ( zip code, etc), so I created a second application to capture that but my cashiers are always forgetting to run the program and I need to find a way to run it after a screen is shown ( let's say the "Change Due" in the POS, so they don't forget to run it.

i have a Windows service that is hosting a WCF service through net.tcp and this is working great. I have also created a WCF service application. I am trying to add the net.tcp service reference to the service application. Then I add it to the GAC that goes ok but if I try to RegAsm the WCF service application to allow it to be called from Server.CreateObject I get the error:
Warning: Type library exporter encountered a type that derives from a
generic class and is not marked as
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]. Class interfaces cannot be
exposed for such types. Consider marking the type with
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] and exposing an explicit
interface as the default interface to COM using the
ComDefaultInterface attribute.
It does not work. I have tried to call it through a class library but this does not work either as the end point is not set correctly.

BTW 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?
