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?

Drag-and-drop A Window Into My Prog
Let's say i have Notepad open. Im my prog, i have a picture box. How hard would it be to allow the user to drag notepad into the picture box?
I know how to use the SetParent function. I know how to get the handle for the notepad window. I just dont know how to drag and drop the Notepad window.
I know there is a way, the only question is how clean will it be and how much will i have to improvise...
Thanks a lot.
Minimize Window
Hi all - I wrote a small program that will use rundll to load any of the web sites (in internet explorer) that I've placed in a certain folder - my problem is that I can't control the way that they open, they all open in about a half sized window box with focus, I'd like them to open minimized, and I've tried the standard procedure, something like x=shell("blah.exe",0) and it won't do it, I then used a API call to minimize all windows, but the last two don't respond to the call...... Can anyone help me here?????
Thanks

Howto Kill Another Active Window From Another Prog
I am trying to prevent my user from running multiple instances of the same program. I think there is a win32api declaration to do this but i am not sure. Ive tried App.PrevInstance with no success.
When the user tries to load the 2nd instance of the same program, i want it to automatically kill the first instance if it is running?
Any thoughts on how to do this. I tried the CloseHandle statement but with no success, perhaps i used it incorrectly.
Minimize A Window With SendMessage
Hi, all. I use the GetForegroundWindow API to get the handle of the topmost window(a non-VB window). Now, I want to minimize it using the SendMessage API. Is there a WM_MINIMIZE constant that I can pass to the SendMessage API function? If none, how can I minimize the window using the SendMessage API? Please post sample code. Thanks.

Minimize, Max, Restore Window
Does anyone have a code sample for minimizing to and restoring from the taskbar?
I constantly drop the forms to the taskbar but then when I need them again I go back to the button that calls the form. When it does not call the form, I then remember I minimized it to the taskbar.
Couldn't I put code behind the command button that calls the form so it will restore it?
Minimize TopMost Window
Hi,
I have an MDI form with many MDIChild forms and I also have a non-MDIChild form called from within the program. I want this non-MDIChild form to be always on top of every other MDIChild form. So I call the following API Function:
SetWindowPos hwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 400, 100, SWP_SHOWWINDOW
"Public Declare Sub SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long)"
Everything works fine apart from when I minimize the MDI form, then the non-MDIChild form stays on top of every other window or program running on my pc.
I want this form to minimize when the MDI forms is minimized and I suppose I can use the same API function to do that, but I have a problem to control the MDI-minimization event.
Window - Minimize Icon
Hi,
How can I associate an event and know when the user has clicked the minimize icon on the window.. Why because there is no event associated to it.. Is it possible or no..
Or is there any API related to it.. Why because there is a Constant
SC_MINIMIZE .. Can I post this to the Window Queue and do somethings
with that..
Pl give me your idea regarding this..

The Activated Window Disappear/minimize By Itself
Hi All,
I am new in this forum,and maybe someone can help me.
General background:
My VB6.0 program starts with USB communication to the user and gets as a respond back parameters to intiates.
Then the aplication initiates two batch files: one is transmitter and the other one initiates another batch files that starts parallely three receivers(VLAN IP data). All this with external windows XP .dll's,and Shell command.
The received data is saved on files and then analyzed with my program.
The external transmiting/receiving procces takes a lot of time ~1Min,and the VB program looks like paralyzed in this time.
The Problems:
1) While the first interactive USB communication with the user in real time mode take place,the active window shakes
and it is refreshed slowly.I am using the DoEvents, Form.Visible, Form.refresh, Form.Enabled = True, Form.SetFocus, Form.Show, and delays. All those in the loops and outside the loops.
Increasing the delay time in the loops stabilyze the active window,but makes the updates refreshing active window slow.
It doesn't happen regulary and I can't predict when.
2) While the active window is waitting for data to be analyzed,suddenly it could minimize or disapper and then it is showed minimized, and I have to maximize it back (As a user).For proccess data from the files,the program uses loop.
A) My question is: How do you communicate or activate
external programs interactively displayed with the user response(to active displayed window nicely and
still, and not shaking,and mealwhile programs running in background?)
B) My second questin is:How can I prevent the Active window to minimized to the bottom bar menu? or disappear? or become white suddenly? Sometime when the external program is done the active windows comes back or it gets its own color back,or it let me maximize it.
Thank you very much

Custom GUI - Minimize To Taskbar, Drag Window
Hi everyone,
How can I make my custom border/GUI have a minimize that goes down to the taskbar? Right now I've got it going to the system tray, but I do not want that, and once it is put in there, you can't get it back out unless you end the process.
Also, how can I make the border/custom GUI window draggable like a normal window, i.e., have a 'handle' across the top bar for them to it with.
Thanks again!
Control Program When Minimize Window Or Lose Focus
Hi,
Perhaps this question is very simple, but I've started with VB a short time ago. I've made a program to comunicate with a mail server. It is necessary to stay continusly receiving information from the server. But when I minimize the window or when I open another program, my program stops! How can I control this?
Thank you,

Minimize To Tray, But Program Still Listed As Open Window
I just got a nice bit of freeware called NoAds that allows me to block the pop-up ads. Running NoAds, however made me aware of the fact that when my own personal project is minimized to the system tray, it's the only one of the programs from the system tray that NoAds lists as "Currently Open Windows". (Whoops!)
Here's my code:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Resize()
If ResizeAllow = True Then
If Me.WindowState = vbMinimized Then
tIcon.Visible = True
Me.Visible = False
Else
I tried Me.Hide, too, same effect. I don't know why but I thought maybe the fact that my program uses a timer might be the difference, but upon removing the timer, and running the program and minimizing to the tray, still it was listed as a currently open window.
What am I failing to do that's making mine the only program in the tray that comes up listed as a currently open window?
Form Freezes Up Durring Refresh
I got a form with a text box to show a status and a progress bar that I created. When my program is working and I am refreshing the screen often, the screen will just freeze up. Mouse works and moves fine but the screen just quits refreshing and part of it will be just a white rectangle. I'm only refreshing the form once a second and it 's still doing it.
How can I fix this?????

Wrong Option Durring Form_load
I have a form that has a listview control on it. The selection that the user makes sets properties of another form that is not loaded yet. So the selection forces a load of the second form. With me so far?
Here's the problem. If the user selects the wrong option and reselects another, that option is ignored and the first (incorrect) option is used when the form show is called because the form_load does not (and shouldn't) run a second time.
Am I explaining well enough? Any help?
Thanks,
Bernie
Adding Controls Durring Runtime In VBA
I have been searching all around the web to add controls during the runtime of my MS Access 2000 form, but have had no luck. I have a form that opens a recordset and add a lable for each record in the recordset. I have seen several people say to just add the for and change the visibility property but that won't do, there is no max. I have also tried form.control.add and load(object as label) but none of this works. I don't know how diffrent VBA is from VB but I have had no luck with VBA. I would appreciate any help I can get.

My problem is, how do I set my radiobuttons to the proper value it was before.
Agh as I type this out Im beggining to realize this is not really a VB problem. But Everyone here normally gives such good answers, so I am going to post this anyway and cross my fingers.

How To Maximize And Minimize The Window Named "Reminder" Thorugh Code
Hi,
I developed a project in VB6, it checks the database and if the date field matches then, the application will mail the user(i.e Reminder). I compiled this project & placed the Exe in Scheduled Tasks in Control Panel and assign it to run daily at 8:00Am. So it will atumatically run daily. I am getting mails when i test from Project it works fine.
The issue here is, as soon as the 8:00 Am comes the application started running, but it is minmized in the Taskbar,after i click the application from the Taskbar the application starts working & sending mail process is completed.
If i didn't click the application in the Taskbar, that remains in teh minimized state for ever. How to solve this issue.
I hope this could be solved if i click the Application once through code & minimize it again.
Kindly reply me about it & any idea or code sample will be helpful.
Thankyou,
Chock.

Call Vb Prog From A Vb Prog
I am trying to build a monitor program to run a separate program based on records in a file. If the file is there then it reads each record. The records contain 3 fields, the path/name of the 2nd file the other program will run over, the name of the program to run and the path/file name to send the results to. The called program will FTP the file or create a new record in an existing file on a server. Something like this...
Control file:
rcd 1 "c:
eceiveclient1.ord","Proc1.exe","inboundorders.client1"
rcd 2 "c: ransmitclient2.ord","Proc2.exe","outboundship.client2"
rcd n input file, process pgm, output file
Can I call program X passing it parms A and B?

when i press Enter, it cleans Text1 but also create a new line...
then if I type something; press Enter; then try to minimize, it doesn't work

Add A Button In Front Of The Minimize-button Kind Of 'minimize-to-system-tray-button'
At the moment I'm trying to add an icon in the system tray for my app - maybe i'll make it.
When I have made it I'd like to add a button in front of the min-button on the title bar of the apps form (like the one on All-API's API-Guide ), in order to empower the user to minimize the app even further, i.e. to the system tray - how can this be achieved?
thx,

Using A DOS Prog With VB
Is it possible for me to:
*Create a .bat file
*Run it
*Make VB continue AFTER the .bat file is finished? (NOT before)
(The .bat file runs a DOS based EXE file. (MP3 encoder)
See my problem?
The VB app sets up the WAV files for encoding, and writes the .bat file. It then "shells" the .bat file.
The .bat file uses a thirdparty EXE file to encode from WAV to MP3. But only in 8+3 names. So the VB app is supposed to use FileCopy and Kill to get it right...
Yes, I could just use a DLL file and make the encoder, but that is way out of my league. (I think)
Any replies are welcome!
