Desktop Context Menu {hide Desktop Icons In WinXP}
my problem started when i found a submenu item for the desktop context menu (WinXP) that allowed me to hide my icons. i liked the look of my desktop like that, what i would really like is a button on my quicklink bar that could turn the icons on and off. as far as i could tell there is no way to do it with windows (ie. .scf script file like the "Show Desktop" quicklink button). so i opened up VB in hopes that i could use the windows API to deliver a click event to that menu item, so the icons would disappear with out actually displaying the menu for the user to see.
i found a code snippet on the net that showed how to hide the desktop window... causing the icons to disappear... but at the same time causes the desktop context menu to not function either. i looked over all the windows messages that i could send to a listview window in hopes that one of them would allow me to hide the icons... each solution seemed more and more complex.
is there a way to activate an menu item on the desktop context menu with out it being displayed?

Start Menu Handle?
I looked at this thread
http://forums.vb-world.net/showthrea...threadid=40282
And thought - cool, maybe I can add to it and disable the start menu off the Windows key too - thus completely disabling the start menu. I can do this using various registry hacks in NT, but not 98 e.t.c e.t.c
What I really want to do is get a handle to the start menu, and either Destroy the menu or set it to be invisible...
I looked at it using Spy++ and it (windows) seems to create the menu each time, I can't subclass the shell cause its not my process, I think im all outta ideas on this one - anyone got any?
(no real business need for this - just thought it might be a challenge)

Getting File To Install In &"All Users&" Desktop And Start Menu Programs Instead Of &"Current
I am using the Visual Studio 6 Microsoft Development Environment to create an install package. I can get the program short cuts to install to the "Current Users" Desktop and Start Menu Programs folders, but not into the "All Users" area. The "File System on Target Machine" does not seem to give me a way to "All Users" folders, just the "User's Start Menu" and "User's Desktop". Does any one know how to fix that ?
Thanks,

Getting A Window Handle From A Process Handle
I have the process handle of an external process
created from within my application. I know that the
process is windowed and has a parent/top-level window.
How do I get the window handle from the process

Get CabinetWClass Handle From SysListView32 Handle.
Get CabinetWClass handle from SysListView32 handle.
or how to get the path from a SysListView32 window.
I am trying to get the directory path from any Explorer window under the mouse pointer.
I have worked out how to get it when the mouse is over the titlebar (GetCabinetWClass)
but want to get the directory path when mouse is over the main (SysListView32) part of the window.
So is it possible to get the parent windows handle/name,
check if it's GetCabinetWClass, if not get parent window from parent
repeat until it is GetCabinetWClass or the top window.
My attached code gets the last window handle and not the parent window handle.
I am trying to save data from my program by dragging it to an Explorer window.
I don't want to use a CommonDialog to select the path.
The following code has been shortened to give you an idea how the code works. (See attachment)
Code:
' To get handle under pointer (See attached mod_WindowInfo.bas file)
Dim pt32 As POINTAPI
Call GetCursorPos(pt32)
ptx = pt32.X : pty = pt32.Y
hWndOver = WindowFromPointXY(ptx, pty)
' To get path from GetCabinetWClass (See attached Form1.frm file)
' Add reference to Microsoft Shell Controls and Automation
' and Microsoft Internet Controls
Private Function GetWindowsExplorerWindowFolder(hwnd As Long) As String
Dim myShell As Shell
Dim myExplorerWindow As WebBrowser
Set myShell = New Shell
Dim xxx As String
For Each myExplorerWindow In myShell.Windows
On Error Resume Next
If myExplorerWindow.hwnd = hwnd Then
If Err = 0 Then
xxx = myExplorerWindow.Document.Folder.Self.Path
Else
xxx = ""
End If
If xxx <> "" Then GetWindowsExplorerWindowFolder = GetWindowsExplorerWindowFolder + xxx + vbCrLf
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Next myExplorerWindow
Exit Function
It's quicker to drag than to use a CommonDialog tree.
Adding Menu Controls To Menu Without Using Menu Editor
I am trying to make a Visual Basic program that connects to an Access database and searches for its menu options! If there are any menu options that are added to the access database, then the program will automatically display them on the form after it searches for all the records within the database. Is there a thread that already exists that explains how to do this with VB Code? Is the following thread - something I can use in this regard:

on thinker's reply about using a resource file?
I wasn't sure...
Thanks,

How Do You Create A Menu Under A Menu Under A Menu And So On.. ? Confused?
Ok right now im using a custom control to display my favorites in the menu at the top. I made the code but the control has a different way of featuring a fake menu at the top of the program that makes it easier to create sub items off of menu items. I want to know how would I go about creating multiple menu's under menus..
Like in the favorites of Internet Exploerer you have Favorites --> VisualBasic --> VB Sites --> VB World
Something like that... So you would click on Favorites and then on Visual Basic and then on VbSites and under vb sites is the link to VB world..I know you can create a menu array but that only does one level. I dont know how to do multiple levels. I do think there is a way to add menu items with api..Any help?
Disable MDI Parent's System Context Menu Right & Left Click Menu Pop-up. How?
I am trying to do this without much luck, but managed to get rid-of the Min/Max buttons via an MS example at the link below.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;137033
However, when a user right clicks on-the MDI parent's Caption bar, a popup up menu appears - Woud like to prevent that.
Secondly, if a user "LEFT" Click on the top Left corner of the same Caption bar (where the Icon appears); it pops the same Pop-Up Menu - Like to stop that.
Thirdly, If a user double clicks on the same menu bar, form flickers, bobs down & up (Min & back to Max state), looks back at you and say's "fooled Ya!", as if it was possessed by some sort of strange evil code. Now I Would really, really, like to make it stop doing that.
Basically, like to prevent any mouse action on MDI Parent's Title Bar. Searched for couple of hours in vain (pain), but nothing turned up for what I am looking for. I can stop the right click on the form it-self by detecting mouse down button, but that’s not preventing the click event in MDI parent's title/caption bar.
Anyone know how or what needs to be done to get this to work? Any and all help, suggestions, etc. will be greatly appreciated!
Add Menu Item To System Menu Of Excel Imported Form [SOLVED]
I'm trying to achieve above 2 items but can't find out how. I've searched this forum already but also can't find anything relevant so am hoping that some of you might be able to kick me in the right direction.
I'm creating a combined VB6 and excel application. Basically VB6 controls excel. The forms used are imports from existing excel applications where I didn't feel like recreating them all over again. Part from that, the excel tab control is way better and easier to use then the VB6 one.
Progress timer:
When starting the program I want to show a progress timer because the program needs to initialize many items and arrays used. I thus created a simple progress timer which depending makes certain pictures visible which form a simple progress bar. The timer used is the VB6 timer option since there's nothing relevant like that from excel. This works well in itself but the problem is with display of the timer. During start it shows the form on which it was created but the timer only starts working after all has been initialized which basically defeats its purpose. Does anybody have any idea how to conquer this one.
Add item to top left window menu:
I want to add a About option to the top / left menu of my program window, the one also containing the minimize and maximize options. I've seen it done in other programs and since it is the only menu item I need I would prefer to do it this way also. I can't however find any information on how to go about this. Hope that someone can give me a push in the right direction for this one as well.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Best regards,
Leon
