Thanks a ton for the help, that worked exactly as I needed it to.

I need the clipboard because I am running a script that copies text out of a window. The long description is this. Valve (the game company) makes a program called steam to manage their games and other developers games. They recently implemented a community system with groups. I am part of a...

The program I am working on has a long task to run, at the end of the task it puts some text in the clipboard. When I run the task straight off, "runTask()" it can grab the text off the clipboard without any problems. here is the code I am using to grab the text from the clipboard: private...

I am fairly new to SQL server and the commands it can use. I am working on a website chat logger interface for a group I am in right now. Basically it will allow people to search / view the chat logs from a web interface. At the moment I have a table in my database that holds the messages, as...

Thanks for your reply, but I ran into some problems in implementing your suggestions also so I decided to go with the low tech, less elegant way of doing this. Public Function getRemoteMac(ByVal CompOrIP As String) As String 'system.Net.Dns. 'Error: No computer was passed...

I am working on developing a simple Wake on Lan program of my own and a feature I have seen and liked in a couple programs I downloaded before deciding to write my own is the ability to find another computer's MAC address if it is turned on and connected to the network. One method I have found...

Ok, this is a kinda silly idea for a program, but would in the end save me a few hours every other weekend. Basically when I am doing laundry the machine is in the basement, my computer room is on the 2nd floor. So when the drier finishes it lets out a loud Buzz, but not quite loud enough to...

Hey, I need a fast, accurate way to check for an internet connection, here are some things I have tried. My.Computer.Network.IsAvailable() Pros: Its super Fast Cons: Only tells you if you are connected to a network Gives a false positive when you are still connecting to a network (a problem...

Some background on my program first. Flickr has a photo group that is all wallpaper images, over 12,000 of them. I made a program that downloads a random one out of the bunch. To do this you first need to do three steps download the source code from a gallery page and find the name of the...

This is funny, I was just coming here to ask the same question, thanks a ton, I cant believe something this simple doesnt pop up in more search engines... heh

Hey everyone, I just got an idea for a program I would like to write, however, I am unsure on how to actually go about writing it. A while ago I made a simple wallpaper randomizer for myself and a couple friends, when my computer starts up, it goes into a pre-selected directory on my computer...

well.... poop, didnt realize that was even a product, thanks for the heads up :(

I recently got Visual Studio 2005 and was browseing the sample projects when one caught my eye, "WorkingWithChartsinExcel". I go to open it, and get this error: So, I opened the readme, and found that I needed to have these things installed: Visual Studio 2005 Microsoft Excel 2003 Adventure...

well, it turns out in my google searches I was searching for the wrong thing, I should have been searching for, how to move a form with no border, but I was just searching for how to move a form with a custom background :rolleyes: So, here is the code I found...

hmm... I looked in the form properties and did not see any "dragable" property. I saw "AllowDrop" but I dont think that is what you were talking about. When the program runs, all you see is the picture I posted (minus the bright green areas, those are transparent).

For the fun of it I made a background for a form that looks like this: however, now I have the problem that I cant seem to get it to move... I would like it to be that you can click on the background of the form and just drag and drop it, but I cant seem to find any information on how to do...

I know of several programs that somehow access the temperature sensors built into my motherboard, however, I can not seem to find a windows API function that does it, and all my searches on the web have come up empty with the sites I thought would be helpfull have all gone the way of the dodo...

thanks for the link, even though it was not the precise one I remember, it will work fine.

thank you very much for the help, it is exactly what I needed, still looking into the graphing but I think I will be able to handly it from here, thanks. One final question, I figured there would be a windows api function that would let me find the battery status, I seem to recall there is a...

I have a few questions, just for fun I wanted to be able to create a chart of my laptop level throughout a normal day saving the battery level every 5 minutes or so, but as of right now i need some pretty large pointers. The main question is there in the title, how do you access the laptops...
