There is no communication between the two processes. Your service code will never know the user did anything in the other application. Hooking the message pump of another application and interpreting what the user sees and is doing with the mouse is VERY complicated and is, depending on your skill level, going to be prone to failures.
I know, you asked about events. "Events", in the method that you're probably thinking of using, do not cross process boundries. There is no way for a message pump in one application to raise an event in another app.
The application that the user is clicking around in would have to handle it's own, for example, Click event, then setup and make an interprocess call to your service, or, just send the service process a message over some communication line you've setup in both applications.
The best option would be, if you wrote both applications, to setup a communication system between the two apps so the application the user is using can tell the service what's going on and what the user is doing.
It is always far easier, and more reliable, for an application to tell another one what it is doing than it is for an application to try and figure out what is going on in another application by "watching" it.

Hello,
I am using that code snippet to print a word document out of my application.
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.FileName = @"c:\test.doc";
startInfo.Verb = "printto";
startInfo.Arguments = strPrinterName;
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
startInfo.ErrorDialog = true;
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(startInfo);
It works fine but:
The Problem is, that word pops up, print and quit.
Is there an additional parameter to set, to tell word to do it in hidden mode like requested
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
to print silently in the backgound ?
Thanks Frank

Use DTS or SSIS transformation. It generally finishes the work in seconds. Build is easy too.

If it's not there, then you can't use it. Adding it would be impossible, as all other barcode-scanners wouldn't know about the new character.
What type of barcode[^] are you using to encode your information?

You can only print symbols which are within the character set for any particular barcode. The simpler codes support only numerics, and so forth, in order to compact the physical size of the printed code. Try switching to EAN128 (or code128) which supports a better range of characters: See Here[^] That site also gives some detail on other barcode formats.

Use a Singleton-like approach. Make the constructor private and add a static method. In this method return a new instance of the class when a static counter is less than 3 (starting with 0). Then increment the counter.
If the counter is >2 do what ever you like to do if the third instance is delivered.
Small example:
<br />
public class MyRestrictedClass<br />
{<br />
private static int instanceCounter = 0;<br />
private MyRestrictedClass()<br />
{<br />
}<br />
<br />
public MyRestrictedClass GetNextInstance()<br />
{<br />
if(instanceCounter<=2)<br />
{<br />
instanceCounter++;<br />
return new MyRestrictedClass();<br />
}<br />
throw new Exception("Maximum number of instances exceeded.");<br />
}<br />
}<br />

Hi all,
In my application I am creating a word document using a default template doc and later adding dynamic content, this is working fine. My problem is now i am askd to create multiple copies of the same document as single document, for example in my word document i have one page with some content, based on the number of copies, the same page should be repeated in the same document and as single document (strictly as single document only, i tried by creating multiple documents and finally merging all the doc as single, this solution was rejected). To say when we take print out, we specify number of copies, so that we get that number of hard copies, i want the same logic. Binarywriter/streamwriter is not helping me, because my document contains images, please help me to solve this. Give me some URL or samples.
Kindly execuse if i am not clear in my point.
Thanks in advance.

hi everyone,
I want to change look of controls of window forms for .net framework.
Please suggest me , is there any dll file or any other open source tools that can change look of controls...
Thanx in advance..
|
|
|
|
|
Yep. Rewrite them and render them yourself. Or, use WPF to write your own controls. Or, buy a third party control library where they've done this for you. Or, you have to use themes at the system level to change the look of the controls, but probably not as nicely as a third party library.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanx for reply.PLease can u tell me which third party library I should use. Or can u give me some third party libraries list.
Thanx

Have a look at the code here to see what you would need to write just to customize the borders of a form.

Have a look at
http://www.componentsource.com[^]
And look either for component suites that contain specialized versions of the most used components OR look for components that let you "skin" the standard .NET components
Good luck
