featured_spectre Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Enjoy Updates Background is "transparent" according to Visual Studio 2010 Custom Proxies can be added along with the preset ones *edit* uploaded correct version! lol Edited June 5, 2011 by featured_spectre 1
Arthur Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 New screenshot... http://i.imgur.com/lvFyZ.png I don't know if this helps, but this is how you do translucency in C#... http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:lgoQTUc2ef4J:www.danielmoth.com/Blog/Glass-In-C-An-Alternative-Approach.aspx+acache:http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog/Glass-In-C-An-Alternative-Approach.aspx&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&source=www.google.co.uk http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog/Vista-Glass-Answers-And-DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow.aspx
Arthur Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Arthur its meant to be run at the program is 430x545 and is set to run at that resolution...increasing it will make it fuzzy One reason I thought I would mention the DPI is because it's not unusual to find staff computers which have it set to > 96.
ihaveaproblem Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 looks good:) A few problems I seem to have. Windows 6 x64 OS EduGod crashes with this message when I click the following buttons Defrag, System restore, Presentation manager (What is this?), msconfig, printer migration and component services. http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/5511/errorzvq.png The pre-made proxy settings dont seem to work for me either. I click the embc one for example and no message appears and my proxy settings in IE9 havent changed. Here's how it looks for me:) http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/4166/edugod.jpg
featured_spectre Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 Its not yet designed for 64bit...I am going to finish up the 32bit version before cracking on with 64bit.... As for the coding language, I am not using C or any of its variants. I want the coding kept to myself and @Steve21 for the time being
MrEprise Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Didn't realise that until your second comment but yeah looks like Shielder beat me to the punch line lol I don't want to sound like i'm moaning about it though.
Arthur Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 I think translucency is a bit more difficult in Visual Basic... http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog/vb6-does-glass-on-vista.aspx Also, instead of hard-coding paths could you simply run them by calling the EXE? Process.Start("mstsc.exe"); rather than Interaction.Shell("C:\\Windows\\System32\\mstsc.exe", AppWinStyle.MinimizedFocus, false, -1);
featured_spectre Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 Process.start doesn't work for the majority of processes....but its by the by...I am coding a separate one for win7 64bit.
featured_spectre Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 Any more proxies for me to add anyone?
Steve21 Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Process.start doesn't work for the majority of processes....but its by the by...I am coding a separate one for win7 64bit. Instead of coding two just make it check what bit then use those links. Then both will work.
featured_spectre Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 what so have a tab for 32bit and a tab for 64 bit under each section?
Steve21 Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 what so have a tab for 32bit and a tab for 64 bit under each section? No.same tab same button, just check what bit then run depending on bit. If that makes sense? Steve
featured_spectre Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 no sense to me...but then my mind is a bit skewed today! lol...care to PM me some details of how you mean...
mac_shinobi Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Check what type of os it is running on ie 32 or 64 bit and run the respective commands from each button using a flag so if joe blogs has win 7 32 bit and clicks a button it will execute the code for a 32 bit system and not a 64 bit system and the same if someone has 64 bit os then it only executes the 64 bit code
featured_spectre Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 yeah I got that from what Steve PM'd me. Got a way to work on it now
EduTech Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 This is looking pretty cool mate.. handy! keep it up.
featured_spectre Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 Righty, this should remove most of the 64bit bugs If any functions do not work, please post up and I will work on those! Many thanks for your support on this guys 1
ihaveaproblem Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Any takers for this one? I'll download and test now=]
featured_spectre Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 Performance Monitor and Event Viewer are not working properly, so I am working on those as we speak....please give any more you come across
ihaveaproblem Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Okay i've tested. Here are the problems I still get on Windows 7 Pro x64 The following crash with the error I showed in my previous post = disk defrag,system restore The following give the message 'command cannot be found when clicked' = presentation manager, msconfig, printer migration, component services The EMBC and SWGFL pre-made proxy settings do nothing for me when I click the button. Performance Monitor and Event Viewer are not working properly, so I am working on those as we speak....please give any more you come across Both these seem to work fine here. 1
featured_spectre Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 Also, in regard to the proxy settings, do the Central Beds e2bn ones work?
ihaveaproblem Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Tried with the new version and I get the same problems as before. The E2BN proxy settings work fine. They say 'proxy setting succesfully applied' when I click and I can see the change in IE. The rest nothing happens when I click the button and no changes in IE.
featured_spectre Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 that is really odd as they use the same code....perhaps its because they use the format proxy.RBC.org.uk : 8080 format? hmmm.... as for the errors...robk is emailing me a camtasia vid of the errors that come up...I will use that as my point of origin to fix the problems
