Thanks, Judah
In my ignorance, I assumed that the referenced dll would be packaged in the same executable as the service application. The service is now starting and stopping successfully, and I've set it to start automatically.
However, if I log off the on-screen keyboard disappears. Upon re-logging in the task manager tells me the OSKStarterService is still running but the osk.exe application that was started by the service is not.
A post elsewhere suggested the problem may lie with the application being tied to the wrong WinStation. But I don't fully understand what this is about. Any ideas?

I'm afraid not, I've only written maybe 2 windows services in my lifetime; don't really have an in-depth knowledge there.

No problem, Judah. I appreciate your help.
Turns out I found a solution…(with the help of Dean Fiala at strongcoders.com)
It appears the process of logging off kills any non-service type processes, even though it was spawned by a service which is still running. Now I’m having the service poll the running process at regular intervals to see if the osk was exited by other than the service itself, and if so restart it. The only strange behavior is that after the login the keyboard is no longer visible although the task manager verifies that both the service and the osk is running. I’m wondering if this could be a WinStation issue. Regardless, this is not a concern for us since after the login, the system will be running only touch screen applications.

Hi,
I am a beginner in C# and I don't understand the answers in the internet for my question.
I want to catch a picture from my WebCam (USB Port) and show it in a pictureBox for example.
I have the Microsoft Visual C# express edition, that's it and I know how to put a jpg or bmp in the pictureBox but how can I get the Picture ?
Is there anybody who can help me ?

Have you looked at this article[^]? It details how to use the Windows Image Acquisition service to acquire images from a web cam and use them in C#.
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you, but when I start the WebCamServiceSample, it says: connection to the remote server is not possible. What does this mean ?
|

Is it WIA? If so, a link from a few months ago on my blog might help you. It's directed at capturing images from a scanner. However, it uses the WIA SDK so if your webcam is WIA all you should need to do is change a few settings (e.g. the device type).

i dont have a clue how to do it..
Well, first of all, this is the C# forum. You might have better luck in the C++ forum. Second of all I turned up this after a quick google search. http://www.schneier.com/blowfish-download.html[^]
Never having worked with it, I'm afraid I can't be much more help than that. HTH.

Hello i have something like this:
This Method call me a form and disable the main menu so you can not call another form until you finish the one that you have active.
private void tiendasToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
frmTienda Tienda = new frmTienda();
Tienda.MdiParent = this;
Tienda.Show();
Tienda.Visible = true;
//Here I'm Trying to handel the closing event so to be able to disable the main form(menu)
Tienda.FormClosed +=new FormClosedEventHandler(Tienda_FormClosed);
menuStrip1.Enabled = false;
}
//This is my method where i try to handel the "decision" that you want or not to close the form.
private void Tienda_FormClosed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DialogResult r = MessageBox.Show("Seguro desea Cerrar esta ventana?", "Tienda", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
Form f = (Form)sender;
if(r == DialogResult.Yes){
menuStrip1.Enabled = true;
return;
}
}
The thing is that i event i select No as a answer that i dont want to close the form it close anyway, so i would like another way to do it, eather disable the forms behind, or to take the answer of the messagebox so when i select no the form does not get close.

If you want your form to not close when the No button is clicked, add an event handler to the Closing event instead of the Closed event. Your code would look like this:
Tienda.FormClosinng += new FormClosingEventHandler(Tienda_FormClosed);
...
private void Tienda_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs)
{
DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("Seguro desea Cerrar esta ventana?", "Tienda", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
if(result == DialogResult.No)
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
}

If I understand your question, It sounds like you want your form to behave as a modal dialog. I think what you want is "Tienda.ShowDialog()". Then you don't really need to disable/enable your menu or other forms. In your FormClosing event you can show your message box and if the user answers "No", set e.Cancel to true in your FormClosingEventArgs parameter. Any buttons you place on your form can be assigned a DialogResult property.

Certainly not in this forum, which is the C# language forum. At the very least, you'll need to be in the C++ forum.

 Hello...Iam working in C# .NET and I use a webbrowser control. I already follow all instructions about references, but when the webbrowser is created, look like if everything goes ok, but, the webbrowser don't have good behavior. There are some errors in properties that are not create very well. I can see in WATCH window the errors
Example:
property HWND <error: an="" exception="" of="" type:="" {system.runtime.interopservices.comexception}="" occurred="">
property Resizable <error: an="" exception="" of="" type:="" {system.notimplementedexception}="" occurred=""> bool
Please, I need help.
Thanks

Maite, this really isn't enough information; what error occurs? What do you mean by "the webbrowser doesn't have good behavior"? What behavior is it exhibiting?

Hello Judah...Thanks so much for your quick answer. Here I explain better.
I want to open a word document from my application. I searched in internet and I found a solution and I follow the steps from the site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304662
Everything goes ok, but want a try to show the toolbar, show an exception and the toolbar is not show. I debbug the code and the unique bad that I found is the objet axWebBrowser1 when I made the View in the WATCH Window, there some properties that thrown exception: HDNW, Resizable, etc.
I think that could be there exception for that reason
Here is the code for open ans show toolbar:
//open the document in the webbrowser.
axWebBrowser1.Navigate(strFileName, ref refmissing, ref refmissing, ref refmissing, ref refmissing);
//show the toolbar
axWebBrowser1.ExecWB(SHDocVw.OLECMDID.OLECMDID_HIDETOOLBARS, SHDocVw.OLECMDEXECOPT.OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, ref refmissing, ref refmissing);
The behavior that I see after all is that the first time, the right click for the document is ok, but when I go to another application and come back, the right click is not available and the buttons availables doesn't work.
Please, let me know if you have any idea to fix the error.
Thanks so much
Maite

HI Everyone!
I have used this line in AfterSelect Event of treeView.
e.Node.IsSelected && e.Button == MouseButtons.Right
But this doesn't recognize "e.Button" 
Is there any NodeMouse_Click event? How can I use that?
I want to invoke context (popup) menu in tree that enable and disable its item according to selected node. But when i click using rightMouseButton the treeView node not considered as selected.
please tell me how i can select node using right mousebutton.
Thank you.

If you want to get the mouse button that's currently down, you can access that by the static Controls.MouseButtons property.

We are using a COM library through interop (ESRI's lib). Since the library is sometimes slow we decided to create a dialog to allow the user to cancel a long running request.
The request is running on a thread. Pressing the cancel button on that dialog will Thread.Abort() the request.
The problem we are facing is that the application's behavior is unpredictable after the user performs several cancellations. Sometimes, the application waits forever (hangs) and sometimes it just takes all of the processor's time.
As you can see there is little info here. The only thing that we know about the COM library is that it is running in a single threaded apartment - STA.
Questions:
1. Is it possible to do this kind of threading work with an STA COM library through interop?
2. Is there any other way to do the same thing (other than aborting the thread)?
3. Do you have any experience with multi-threading ESRI tasks in .NET (not C++)? If yes, can you please provide any advice on how to tackle this problem.
We posted this problem on ESRI's forums to no avail 
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This really sounds like a problem with the vendor's dll.
Now, aborting threads is generally a bad idea; it's better to manually cancel by building the work to watch for a cancellation flag so that it can do the necessary cleanup. Without cleanup, as you've discovered, code is left in an unpredictable, volatile state.
Emad, what happens if you run the work on a background thread? Then if the user cancels, would it be safe to leave the work running, but the user doesn't see the work running? If that's feasible, that may be your only option outside of having ESRI provide some cancellable work method.

hi Judah,
yes it seems like it is a problem with the vendor's library.
I am not sure about the cancel flag. We are working with Legacy code that we need to wrap the cancellation code around (not new design). Also, having code littered with checks like (if cancelled) doesn't seem to be the best solution for us.
We are running the work on a background thread as you suggested. Leaving the work to run sounds like a good idea. It is worth a try if all fails.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Before generics I used something like this to connect childs with parent classes
interface IMyItem
{
CollectionOwner Owner{get;set;}
}
class MyCollection : System.Collections.CollectionBase
{
public MyCollection(CollectionOwner owner)
{
_owner = owner;
}
protected override OnAdd(object item)
{
if(item is IMyItem) ((IMyItem)item).Owner = _owner;
}
}
this way one was able to add items to a owner class owner.Items.Add(new Item()) and the owner had the item instance in his list while the item had a reference to his owner, which made a call like item.Remove() possible instead of calling owner.Items.Remove(item)
Now, .net 2.0 introduced generics, way cool. But how do I implement this behaviour with generics? There is no overrideable method instead of using the brute force method with new
class MyCollection<T> : List<T>
where T : IMyItem
{
MyCollection(CollectionOwner owner)
{
_owner = owner;
}
new public void Add(T item)
{
item.Owner = _owner;
base.Add(item);
}
}
this way if one is casting MyCollection back to List<> my custom add method isn't run. bad design
how can I extend generic collection base classes with such logic to do some extra work on each add or remove?
