Commond Dialog Control
Alright is there a way to have the common dialog box never be able to switch the path that is given. for example. Say I only want the user to be able to save and open files from the folder happy in the c drive. So now I can say to start in the directory C:happy but is there a way so that the user can't leave that folder. I would use file boxes but they are so un professional looking compared to the common dialog. Thanks!!

How To Make Window Active
I am writing a vb program to run with my AutoCAD program. What I am looking to do is when I hit "OK" on my program, the AutoCAD window is set to the activate window. That is, if I type something, it will type on my AutoCAD window, and not my program window. I hope you understand what I'm looking for.

Make A Form The Topmost Active Window?
Hello,
How do you make a form become the top and active window (on top of any/all other windows/apps)?
Of course setting the windowstate to vbnormal doesn't do this, and I've tried the AppActivate, but it doesn't work either.
Here's how I'm testing to see if it works:
Blank form that starts minimized and has a timer set to 5 seconds.
In the timer event, I have the following code:
Code:
me.WindowState = vbNormal
AppActivate "Form1"
Timer1.Enabled = False
Of course, I'd replace the AppActivate with whatever does what I'm looking for.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Using The API, Can You Make Active Window Modal And Then Reset
I have a process that appears at this point to require using SendKeys (I know, I hate that part also). If I have to use that option, I would like to make the active window modal so they get to their intended destination.
If it is possible, how do I save the current "Modal state" for the active window, change it and then reset it. Thanks!
Have a great day!

Get Active Window Handle / Minimize Window
Hello,
I have two (hopefully) simple questions that I hoped could be answered.
How do you obtain the currently active window's handle? I have tried GetActiveWindow, it doesn't seem to work.
How do you minimize a window through the use of the window handle? I do not want to have to focus on the window I am trying to minimize.
Thankyou
Edit: I just thought of another question I need answered.
Could somone please tell me how to use the API SetCursor, and whether SetCursor persists through a restart?

Printing Active Form Thru Common Dialog
I'd like to print the current form but do not want to use "Screen.ActiveForm.Printform" because this code will print the form without asking the user anything.
How can I print the current form thru common dialog so the user can choose how many pages or orientation?
Anybody had experience with this, please help me. Thanks in advance.
Common Dialog And Active Desktop Problems...
Hey all,
Long time not posted... Hehehehe
Anyway, i have 2 questions:
1) A rather simple one:
Can i force an open dialog to only a specified path (the initdir value) all the time. That is disallow the user to browse the file system, and force him to browse the contents of only the initial directory specified??? If yes, how to do it???
2) I'd say a bit more complicated:
This is the registry path that stores the wallpaper position.
Key -> HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerDesktopGeneral
Value name -> WallPaper
In order to set an htm, jpg, gif or other non bmp files as wallpaper (an active desktop), i need to edit this registry path. Now i know how to retrieve the Active Desktop status (Enabled/Disabled) and change its value if needed. But the wallpaper change wont take effect until a computer reboot.
Well, as u can imagine, it's really frustrating to reboot everytime the wallpaper is changed (this takes the fun out of my program ).
What is the solution to this DILEMNA?????
Thank you all in advance!

Getting Active Window
I just need to know if my program has focus. The GetActiveWindow API I had read does not work on XP, so I tried it, and it doesn't.
Basically, what I'm trying to do is flash the window (like AOL Instant Messenger) if something happens in my program while it doesn't have focus. I've got flashing down, but I can't figure out how to find if it has focus.
Thanks !

I had try to use the activate event of the menu form, but the event also running while i move from form to form within the application.
Do you guys got any solutions how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Someone out there please tell me how you can code a form so that it can tell if it is currently the active form.
If you are going to suggest ZOrder or the VBE class please be specific as I have had no luck with either so far.
Thanks

Is Window Active??
I am extracting information of a child window in another application but I want to ensure that the child window used is the active window (The child currently selected). Do I have to EnumProp to get this information? If so what atom string do I use to find this (I was just reviewing the API documentation and couldn't find a listing on this)? Is There an easier way like IsWindowActive or something like that?
I don't want to check if the window is visible because it may be visible but covered up by another window. I need to know if it is the active window on top. This application uses an MDI interface if I haven't mentioned that already.
Thanks in advance!!
API Get Value From Active Window
I've created an API that enumerates all the active windows, to find one specific open window.
No I need to retrieve a field value from that specific window.
Any idea how to do so?
Active Window
I am trying to get the title of active window using API calls as shown below. For some reason, it works only when the application itself is active. When the application is inactive and some other windows are active, textbox is simply blank.
Private Declare Function GetActiveWindow Lib "user32" () As Long
Private Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowTextA" _
(ByVal Hwnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String, ByVal cch As Long) As Long
Function ActiveWindowCaption() As String
Dim strCaption As String
Dim lngLen As Long
' Create string filled with null characters.
strCaption = String$(255, vbNullChar)
' Return length of string.
lngLen = Len(strCaption)
' Call GetActiveWindow to return handle to active window,
' and pass handle to GetWindowText, along with string and its length.
If (GetWindowText(GetActiveWindow, strCaption, lngLen) > 0) Then
' Return value that Windows has written to string.
ActiveWindowCaption = strCaption
End If
End Function
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
'show the title of the active window in textbox
Form1.Text1.Text = ActiveWindowCaption
End Sub
Does anyone know what's wrong? Thank you in advance.

Active Window
I Have a timer running in my app which pops up a menu on right click on any control on my GUI (on certain conditions ).
Now when i minimise my app and and working on excel or word, i still get my popup menu on right click on sheet or doc, bcos the timer is still running.
Is there any way to determine which is the current window or active window so that i can handle that in timer code.
Thanks in advance.

How To Determine If The Window Is Active Or Not
Hey, im needing my program to know if the form is the active window, or if it is set in the background.
For the sake of simplicity, lets say i have a timer. The timer should ONLY be enabled when the form form is the active window, and when another window is selected as active, the timer will become disabled.
What API would i use to determine if the window is active or not. Ive ran across an API that causes the window to be active, but i havnt found one yet that will send back some kind of data that will let the application know if its active or not.
Thanks
