I would like to write a script that moves the currently open Windows to a certain location. Ideally, my program would look like this: var window = FindWindow("Winamp"); window.setPos(1140, 900, 160, 124); // set x, y, width and height window = FindWindow("Windows Live Messenger"); window.setPos(1140, 0, 900, 124); // etc...

I'm trying allow drag and drop to the tray icon on my application. I know it's impossible to do this with the higher level C# WindowsForms API, since NotifyIcon doesn't support drag events. So with a little help of a more windows-experienced friend I set out to try this via Win32 API. The idea was registering a hook in the tray window ...

I recently needed to find the .NET equivalent to ShellExecute, and I was happily able to find the answer quickly at StackOverflow. But surely there must be document or a list somewhere which would have given me this answer just a little quicker. Back when I went from ANSI programming to UNICODE, Microsoft had this handy page of routine...

I can pinvoke api functions such as waveInOpen but I can't figure out how to use these functions to achieve my target. the question is - can someone can briefly tell me how can I get the data from the audio line ...
Without a novel, I'll try to explain and hope it makes sense. We have an app that handles sending data to a server via simple HTTPS, no problem all works fine. HOWEVER, if the packets are sent via a satellite phone, the latency of transmissions is a lot longer than the typical milliseconds handled on land-line high-speed network acce...
My development team are having a problem having snippets of text shown for search results in windows 7 for our own custom files (note we are NOT talking about the preview pane that uses the IPreviewHandler interface). An example of what I mean for .txt files is shown below: The text snippet shown here with the highlighted result is no...

For example: I would like to know exactly what system metrics to use to know how wide the borders of a window are going to be. With a given set of visual styles, what borders will appear, and how wide will they be (what system metrics can be queried to know exactly and correctly how wide they'll be)? Similarly, for a button, how wide a...
I'm working on a problem where I need to have a way to convert a user inputted filename to a unique path name. Let's say I let the user specify a path name that points to a file that contains some data. I can then do Data* pData=Open(PathName). Now if the user specifies the same path name again, I'd like to be able to have a table of ...
I need to pull values off a Windows application at regular intervals. Since the values do not appear in a field, I am not able to use Win32 API calls to get them (I figured that out using WinID, a tool that will display information on windows and controls and stuff). I tried using the Office MODI OLE object and the Tesseract CLI tool, b...
I have a form class called MDIParent that has IsMdiContainer = true. The form load handler enumerates this.Controls to find the MdiClient container window and assign it to the clientWindow class variable. The handler also disables the AutoScroll property in an attempt to preserve the scroll bars once I manually update them with this cod...

However, I noticed that the mouse co...

In Windows, what is the difference between foreground and active window? To be specific, under what circumstances can a foreground window not be an active window? If the 2 terms are referring to the same concept why there're 2 terms. The msdn documentation here mentions "clicking a window, or by using the ALT+TAB or ALT+ESC key comb...
I have a thread which creates COM objects that use the STA model. This thread's Run function puts it in an infinite WaitForMultipleObjects. Is it possible that the infinite WaitForMultipleObjects could prevent other threads from marshaling calls to the COM objects owned by this thread? Basically, I'm asking if WaitForMultipleObjects ...
Under Win32, it is a common technique to generate a monochrome bitmask from a bitmap for transparency use by doing the following: SetBkColor(hdcSource, clrTransparency); VERIFY(BitBlt(hdcMask, 0, 0, bm.bmWidth, bm.bmHeight, hdcSource, 0, 0, SRCCOPY)); This assumes that hdcSource is a memory DC holding the source image, and hdcMask is ...
