Write A Small Program For ITunes Using Windows COM?

Apr 20, 2010

I are trying to write a small program for iTunes using Windows COM. We are able to talk to iTunes and create popup boxes that show the current track, and a few other small things. However, when we try to set this info to a Label for example, we get:

InvalidOperationException was unhandled by user code Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Label1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.

The program then hangs and locks iTunes from closing. I believe the issue is the event handler I have created, which I know very little about. We are using VB 2010, so that may change some things. We followed a rough example from a forum post HERE. If you scroll down the orange text, you will see a reply right after by Will Hughes with a "Handles iTunes.OnPlayEvent". If I add this to the end of my event handler, I get:

Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types. Not sure if its important to the issue or not, but I found it curious. Our code is shown below.

Imports iTunesLib
Public Class Form1
Private iTunes As New iTunesApp

Write A Small Program That Copies A File From A USB To Another Directory?

Feb 4, 2009

What I'm trying to do is write a small program that copies a file from a USB to another directory so a program already installed on the computer can load this data.Usually copying files from one directory into another wouldn't be an issue.

[Code]...

If possible i would also like to change the code i have written so it just loads January2009.txt from the "root directory" of the USB rather than having to specify H: because if i put the USB in someone elses computer this could change to G: and then it wouldn't work.

Write A Program In Which Fluidly Changes The DWM Window Colorization Colors In Windows 7?

Dec 19, 2011

I'm currently trying to write a program in VB.NET which fluidly changes the DWM window colorization colors in Windows 7.I first tried to edit Registry values directly, but I had to restart the UXSMS service. This solution was unsatisfying, because of the toggle of the taskbar.

I'm now searching for a function in a DLL such as user32.dll or themecpl.dll which can reproduce the behaviour of control panel when setting the window color.I'm now on IDA, searching for the adquate function (CColorCplPage::SetDwmColorizationColor seems good!).

I don't want to go down the route of doing a Shell "ipconfig /all > somefile" then reading it in as I *know* this can be done another way.

Get Rid Of A Blink At The Start Of A Small Program?

Jan 25, 2011

I have been trying, without success, to get rid of a �Blink� at the start of a small program.

My program opens with a title page (Form2, which is visible at 100% Opacity) that I want to fade after a few seconds, this works fine except that at the first reduction of opacity, Timer1's first 'Tick', the whole of Form2 blacks out for a moment. (Blinks)

I have a short demo program to show what I mean but don�t think I can attach it to this question. The code is shown here but I don�t know how to include Form1 and Form2. They are very simple however, they�re both Size 1000,600
Form1 has a single Button (Exit) and a Timer; Form2 has a full-size photo as background.

Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

[Code]....

I developed the code on a XP machine, but I also get the same 'Blink' on my Win. 7 Pro machine.

This program works when I use small amounts of data but if I use say 800 lines of text the program crashes/ can't handle the volume of data and just stalls.
