• NCAnand How to switch to another application from mine

  Hi, I want to be able to switch to another already running application when a user presses a button on a main form. I can enumerate the running processes and see that the one I want is running, I can get its Window Handle. How can I switch to it. ahmedilyas wrote: you could also use the SetForegroundWindow API, I think they both do the same job Thanks for pointing that out.. you should use the SetForegroundWindow to activate another application. SetActiveWindow only works for applications in the foreground. My mistake. @iTunes: Just a joke, but shouldn't you be a bit more patriotic on a Microsoft forum plz dont flame ahmedilyas wrote: :-) Glad we shared and learned ...Show All

• VarunR How do I put line breaks in my email message using Stringbuilder?

  Hello All, I am busy writing an application where i need to send email. I would rather use the computers default email application rather than go down the SMTP route.

• manukahn .NET Events in COM VB.NET

  Does any one know why .NET events are not firing in COM I have got a .NET class which is accessed by VB6 COM.dll. The Events in .NET doesn't seems to fire in COM. Any clues There are a couple of things that you need to check to make sure that events fire: Make sure they are markes as public and comvisible(true) Make sure that the assemlies are markes as comvisible(true) Make sure that all the parameters are correctly decorated and can be marshaled correctly I would suggest to start testing with events with no parameters, then one that passes an integer, and so forth, to make sure you know where things go wrong. Hope this helps, Hi Thanks for the info. I have got all of t ...Show All

  I am trying to write a code that detects if the mouse and the keyboard are not being used but I've only been successful for that of the mouse finding the difference in cursor position(windows.forms.cursor.position). For the keyboard I've been largely been unsuccessful. Can someone please help The problem is that it is not an event that will be recieved by any form or control, since the program will run in the background without showing any form.

• asdffgh how to delimit string?

  I have many fields must be delimited,just like that below "abc","aaa","ccc","ddd","abc,adf","daf,qwer" I have to delimit this via comma,but must consider a field followed by double quote how should i do thanks I'm confused, but if you want insert a double quote character, you must use the '\"' character. To split the fields, you can use de .Split() string method. If you have "aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd", you can split this field in four fields spliting it by ',' character. If you have "aaa,bbb;ccc,ddd", you can split this field in two fields ("aaa,bbb" and "ccc,ddd") spliting it by ';' characte ...Show All

• VikasAgr string functions - remove x number of char starting at char?

  I'm nearly done with an application that I've created to correct data mistakes. The application will loop through a directory of several thousand files and then replace various bits of data. Most of the data is static. Example, smtp address. So, i set up a search criterial and iterate through the files and replace string "xyz" with string "abc" in all the files. Works just fine. My last problem is a bit odd. These files are SENDMAIL.VBS scripts. The data and information in them, for the most part is quite fluid. For instance, I may have the start of my fax number at position 50 (column) where another document may have it starting at position 32 (column). So, here's what I've been experimenting with trying to a ...Show All

• Price Brattin Childform misbehaving? Ignoring location commands.

  I have used the following code to try to have to childforms appear in a parent form. However, when i run the program, the child forms do not go to the specified sizes nor locations. This is the code i used. The only bit that assumes the control doesn't exist already is the bit where I call new on it. The code all assumes the control is not part of hte form yet, however. Naturally, you cannot cut and paste my code, it's creating an instance of a class I wrote ( that you don't have ). Substitute your own control name for the one I am creating. I had to search on the internet to figure out that code. Not sure where i found it thou. How would you embed the 2 forms as children Yah, I edited t ...Show All
