Hello all!
I am trying to create a replacement task bar for windows (don't ask
why..) in C#, and have run into some troubles.
I am aware that i can get a list of running processes (using
System.Diagnost ics.Process), however this is ALL processes, and i ONLY
WANT the ones that would show on the task bar normally.
I noticed that if i looked at a Processes MainWindowTitle property, i
could weed out most things i didn't want by just igoring those with an
empty Title, however this will miss a few!
Mainly, if i have a few open My Computer instances, this will only
catch the first one.
I also tried at least two methods using Windows API's (mainly
GetWindow, two different ways), but this returns even more junk i don't
want, and i don't see any way to tell which ones would be displayed on
the task bar.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

Well, the task bar only shows available windows, not those processes.
Try using the win api like EnumWindowEx or similar functions.
As you asked, I won't ask why, but I can think the question. :-)

I have some code using EnumWindowEx, however using it i ended up with a
lot of windows i didn't care about again. What do you mean by
"available windows" ? Have any example code?
I'll look around some more for some ways to use EnumWindowEx.
Anyone else have any examples or advice?
I'm gonna need a way to emulate the System Tray too eventually, if
anyone has any thoughts on that.
Thanks!

I want to run batchfiles via the Shell, but accessible in the Browser

Hi all,
Anybody seen where if after a Build with errors the Task List won't pop up
when you click on the tab? I have to shut down the whole IDE to get it to
come up. This is in VS.NET 2003. I don't remember this occuring in
version 2002.
Thanks,
Mark

I have added task list items to my VB.Net project. After checking the project

How do I keep a list of tasks that will stay with the project?

I use 'TODO's to add items to the task list to remind me of things that
I need to do. I right click the task list and choose Show Tasks > All
so that all items are shown. This works fine.
Hoever, if I perform a build and there is a build error, the task list
shows ONLY the build errors. In other words the setting of the task
list has gone back to Show Tasks > Build Errors. I then have to right
click again and reset it to All so it...

Hi,
I am a newbie at C#. Here is my current problem:
I want my application to iterate through the list of tasks presented in
task manager. I want it to look at the task names and if a certain task
exist in the task list I want to kill it (as nice as possible).
I started the task manager with the following row:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("c:\\windows\\system32\\taskmgr.exe");

Hi all.
Ok, I'm using VB6 but I think the answer to this (if there is one) is more likely to be found in the Access forum.
I have a situation where I've got tens of millions of records, spread over a bunch of separate databases. I don't have a choice about this, as the data is simply too large for a single MDB. As yet, I'm not prepared to go to SQL Server. Possibly in the not-too-distant future, but we'll see. In the meantime, I have this...

I have a db where each record is a certain task to be done. Each record includes the date the task should be completed. Some of the tasks are one time only but some are recurring. I have been having to create a new record for every task even the recurring ones, but I'd like to try to automate creation of the recurring tasks.
What I'm trying to do is set it up so that when I'm setting up a task I can select from a drop down box that this task...
