Dear all,
I am preparing to develop an application that can:
1.) Change skin
2.) Scrolling text box on top, visual like WINAMP display
3.) Auto startup and mimize on tray bar by default
4.) live update with new version
5.) Is that possible to know how many active applications
are currently
running? (The application will use IE for viewing
specific web content,
therefore it main function is Internet dependent)
6.) What programming mechanism should do for tray icon
notification whenever
new content arrived on web? Because I don't see the
updated web page shown
on IE component allow to notify the VB application about
that is a new
content compare with previous visit.
Anyone could suggest any components that could ease the
work? (if it is too
difficult to program)
I am much appreciated if you could help.
Thanks
Felix

Hi Felix
Just my quick view opinion not my investigation or advise. 1.) Change skin
I should search for keyword opacity and skin on msdn 2.) Scrolling text box on top, visual like WINAMP display
I think I would first try to do that with a splitter 3.) Auto startup and mimize on tray bar by default
If I did not find another method I would use the autostartup folder from the
user I think 4.) live update with new version
I think that I would manage that in a way. I think I would use FTP because
it is one to one, but not with one application, I would have needed an
application that removes the orginal program and installs the newone. 5.) Is that possible to know how many active applications are currently
running? (The application will use IE for viewing
specific web content, therefore it main function is Internet dependent)
I think that I would first try to manage that with a webservice. 6.) What programming mechanism should do for tray icon notification
whenever new content arrived on web? Because I don't see the
updated web page shown on IE component allow to notify the VB application
about that is a new content compare with previous visit.
I think I would try this to first with the same webservice Anyone could suggest any components that could ease the work? (if it is
too difficult to program)
No and I am glad you are building it and not I.

Have a look at the 'Form''s 'Region' and 'TransparencyKe y' properties.
2.) Scrolling text box on top, visual like WINAMP display
Develop a usercontrol for marquee text. Maybe you will find one on the web.
3.) Auto startup and mimize on tray bar by default
Google Groups Search on this ng.
4.) live update with new version
Google Groups Search on this ng.
5.) Is that possible to know how many active applications

'Process.GetPro cesses'.
6.) What programming mechanism should do for tray icon

Because I don't see the updated web page shown
on IE component allow to notify the VB application about
that is a new content compare with previous visit.

Hi Herfried, 6.) What programming mechanism should do for tray icon
notification whenever new content arrived on web?
Because I don't see the updated web page shown
on IE component allow to notify the VB application about
that is a new content compare with previous visit.
I think it's either
How do I know that the content has changed?
or
How do I change the icon to let the user know that the content has changed
(in the not necessarily visible app)?
or both!

Fergus

Herfried,
I think that is not the most difficult part.
I think you can do that by just call in your windowform program the
webservice for a status (you even can use a normal webclient I think writing
this) that only returns one timedate item of the latest content.
The rest you understand I supose.

My first thought was to call
WorkerThread.Suspend
but the help cautions against this (for good reason) because the caller has
no control over where the thread actually stops, and it might have a lock
pending, for example.
I want to be able to stop a thread temporarily, and then optionally resume
it or stop it for good.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
