<0> later freaks
<1> ok then so someone told me before that making my calendar app run a sound wasnt the right way to do it
<1> using the at command for windows scheduler
<1> and the shell command to run the app
<2> "run a sound"?
<2> Play one?
<1> yep
<2> Sound meaning WAV?
<1> i dunno havent chosen the wav/ mp3 yegt
<1> yet
<1> doent matter as long as its clear
<2> Call PlaySound API, if it's a WAV
<2> And it does matter
<1> ah, so what if its an mp3?
<2> Then you'd need mciSendString
<1> ooo
<2> PCM wav is a better choice, usually
<1> pcm wav?
<1> whats pcm ?
<2> Default Coded
<1> oh right
<2> Codec
<1> so from vb,net in vs 2005
<2> They've got the API wrapped
<1> k
<1> i got it open in my other window
<1> i need and references on top of whats standard?
<2> no
<2> brb, phone
<1> k
<2> System.Media
<1> so wots the syntax to run a wav and wot to run a mp3?
<2> Look it up
<1> k
<1> theyre both under system.media?
<3> http://www.pastebin.ca/318118 i should be able to just GetWindowText(hwnd, lpstring, 255) right?
<3> because im returning error
<4> as long as you initialize your string with a buffer like lpstring = String$(vbNullChar)
<4> I mean String$(vbNullChar, 255)
<4> if I remember correctly
<4> I haven't done vb in quite a while :P
<4> actually cch should be a long, not an integer
<4> I'm ***uming vb 6 here :D
<5> anyone here know vba?
<5> hey tic
<6> so visualbasic huh? is this just a room full of aol "proggie" developers?
<6> i remember the good ol' days
<5> I'm here for vba, but probably
<5> hah
<7> aol still exists?
<7> dreamache ur about to get punted
<6> lolxzx;;;s;x
<5> anyone here know the paramater, in VBA, to hide what is going on while the macro is running?
<2> #VBA
<5> yeah
<5> no one was there
<5> got a hold of someone now though
<5> thanks
<3> AAA- .net i was going to use getprocesses but its not returning all of my processes
<3> or am i missing something?
<8> hello, id like to insert the amount of free magebytes (on drive G:) in the e-mail textbody.. how do i do that? :)
<1> how dpo i run an mp3 at a given time pls people?
<1> i know the system.media syntax, but that only seems to play wavs
<1> and i want to make it happen at a given time
<1> ok i have solved the mp3/wav problem, using a wmp control..... still working on the time problem tho..... how do you make something run at a given time, even waking PC from hibernation where necessary?
<1> summat to do with wake events i think
<1> but how u get ure program to run from a wake event?
<1> but how u get ure program to run from a wake event..... or even get ure program to DETECT wake events and run a subroutine?
<1> (given the program should still be running when PC awakes from hibernation)
<1> :p
<9> gm
<8> anyone alive?
<1> me
<1> best way to make something happen at a pecific time?
<8> can u give me a script that lists drives, sizes and free space?
<8> i **** at vbs.. can't find any script ;(
<10> look up "fso" or "file scripting object"
<8> ok, ill google, thx
<10> steve: example?
<8> undath: can't find ****.. ;)
<10> check out http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms630283.aspx
<10> http://www.aivosto.com/visdev/fso.html
<10> so what youre looking for is something along the lines of "for each drive in fso.Drives || debug.print drive.DriveLetter & " (" & drive.FileSystem & "): " & drive.FreeSpace & " / " & drive.TotalSize
<10> Next
<10> or something
<11> why use fso
<12> because ms says its faster than anything native vb6 has to offer ;p
<11> bull****
<11> ms don't say that
<12> its on a KB
<12> google it
<11> bah
<11> who cares anyway
<11> System.IO
<11> vb6 is obsolete
<11> so are you gonna buy atalasoft?
<12> maybe, trying to get the jpeg document size down
<12> i dunno if its the engine they use to make the jpegs or what, but 1 grayscale document is 350k, thats too big
<12> should be around 100k or under
<10> fso because he's doing vbs
<12> so im trying to figure out how to lower it
<11> then why is he asking here
<12> I might give them a call today or post on their forums
<11> this ain't #vbs
<12> reboot do you have your scanner still hooked up?
<12> I'm curious to see how small of a jpeg you can make
<10> seemed like a fair enough question =)
<11> I don't have a scanner here
<12> pbrush even makes a smaller jpeg with the same dpi and paper
<12> its gotta be the way the jpeg is being saved, something im not setting correctly
<13> hm, hi. i was here yesterday enquiring about sendkeys() and so forth. i want to send keystrokes to an application
<13> but sendkeys() wont cut it because i believe it only sends full keystrokes - i need to simulate a key being held down. am i reading sendkeys() wrong or is that truth?
<14> yes, that is how it works
<13> ok
<13> well then is there an alternative that would let me simulate pressing a key down as a seperate event to releasing the key?
<14> simulate a key being held down.. interesting.. is the key a ctrl key or a letter/number key?
<13> niether
<13> up/down/left/right
<14> wondering if the program actually notes the repeating key and treats it as a held down key then
<15> Trying to h4x0r a game, eh?
<13> nope
<13> i have a custom microcontroller project that sends data over rs232 and i wish to use it as an input device for some software.
<16> you should be using SendInput
<16> sendkeys is vb voodoo crap
<16> whether SendInput can do it, I don't know
<13> what about keybd_event?
<13> "The keybd_event function synthesizes a keystroke. The system can use such a synthesized keystroke to generate a WM_KEYUP or WM_KEYDOWN message. The keyboard driver's interrupt handler calls the keybd_event function.
<14> sendmessage with a WM_KEYDOWN is how I did it years ago I think.. it's been a really long time
<14> with sendmessage you can simulate just about anything
<16> even ***!
<14> ahhh... yea.. sure.. :-)
<13> hm
<13> i wish i could find a sample/source app using sendmessage with keyboard stuff in it so i could see how it's done. i'll keep googling. thanks
<14> I'll google too.. see if I can find one
<14> http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.general/browse_thread/thread/664b11153922dee7/33cb0ca5a1f22757%2333cb0ca5a1f22757
<14> short and simple
<14> it also touches on an important topic and that is using spy++ to sample messages so that you know what to send to simulate the same actions
<13> hm
<13> that little block of code shows up totally red in vb
<13> he has a cl***/api caller thingy which he doesn't list there
<14> note the author said: I have a set of cl***es that make it easy to call the Win32 API and
<14> that is what I am using in this code. If you're interested in those
<14> cl***es, I can send them.
<14>
<14>
<13> yeah
<13> hm i wonder what keyboard spec is.
<13> i might even just be able to make it into an actual 'keyboard'
<14> never called a win32 call from vb.net, but did it in vb6 and lots in C. Still looking for some sample code fo rya
<13> well
