You can't do it easily. You cannot cast a .NET Control class onto an arbitrary control and expect all the fields to be filled in for you for display. You'd have to use the Win32 API functions to get at pieces of the controls, but even then, since your talking about another application, there are functions that will not work acrossed application boundries. The information you get is going to be limited to window parameters.

I didn't say there was no way to do it. I said it takes some Windows Kung Fu.

Some of the functions involved would be GetWindow, FindWindow, EnumWindows, GetWindowText, GetWindowInfo, GetWindowPlacement, GetWindowRect, ...

Are you saying that you didn't get exactly what you wanted? There's tons of examples out there. You take those examples, learn the basic techniques from them, then modify or rewrite the examples to fit your needs.

Re: run the vb project in system start up

4-Mar-09 21:29

Hi to all,

I wanted to run my vb exe whenever the system starts up. The idea behind the scene is to "not allow the user to do anything in the system except my own application."(for some security issue). I have made the form maximized, the control buttons are removed, special keys are disabled. Now i should run in system start up.

If I put the exe in startup folder of system, it takes sometime to run. by that time the user is able to do something else in the system. I dont want that to happen too.

So, could you please tell me if there is nay other solution ofr the same,

Thanks in advance

Open the registry editor and modify this node;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell = "C:\calc.exe"

This will launch "C:\Calc.exe" instead of the Windows' Explorer, directly after login. Enjoy Smile | :)

edit the following registry item :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\userinit,"C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe,your application's executable path here"

It will run your program along with login to system.Don't remove C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe while adding your application's path otherwise your system will no logon.

What is a test dialog? I dont think any such dialogbox exists.
