I have a C# WinForms application with very simple controls: Message boxes, labels, pictureboxes and textboxes. I want to be able to run this app on a Mac so I downloaded mono and ran it using the terminal.
I have 2 questions:
1.) How do I make the default process for a windows based exe application to open using the framework so I dont have to open it from the terminal every time?
2.) The controls don't appear at the right position. Most of the labels, textboxes have moved their position and the position of a button on the screen is not where it is supposed to be clicked but a little below it. The form looks perfect on Windows.
Can anyone help me figure this out?
Thanks in advance
I have a c# application and have thought it could be fancy that it displayed current time. So I used form.text property of my main form and put the time into it (picture A)
Unfortunately when I point to the application icon in taskbar in Windows 7 it shows my time where it should show application name (picture B)
Is it possible to have some text on main form top bar and still display different text in Windows taskbar?
In .NET 4 the TaskbarItemInfo class was introduced. Unfortunately it does not directly support changing the application title show in the taskbar.
However, you might be able to achieve this using the Windows API Code Pack library. Yochay Kiriaty wrote an article called Developing for the Windows 7 Taskbar – Application ID which shows an example of what you might be trying to achieve.
I want to click on a button in another application from my C# application ,
and I don't have the source code for the application that contains the button
let us say as an example ...can I use windows calculator from my application by clicking its buttons Programmatically
I am using c# and .NET
I think I must use windows api to do this
does anybody have any idea????
Yes, it's not too complicated. You can use FindWindowEx to get the window handle, then iterate through the windows elements and use sendmessage or postmessage to send the WM_Click message.
Here's a codeproject project that does exactly what you want.

The above screen has a link and when clicked it should start a win forms application?
For Windows XP, you can build a GINA DLL, and for Vista+ you need to use the new credential providers system. In both cases, you basically have to build the UI from scratch and so it's not really possible to just take the existing UI and add a few controls here and there.
Of course, you could build your own GINA DLL that displays UI that's the same as the standard Windows XP one, with your own additions, but it's not exactly a simple task.
I want my application (written in c#) which needs to run on Windows 7 and show an icon in the notification area. The default is "only show notification" I my icon to be shown by default. looking for the api in c# or to wite a script for this.
If there's no direct way to do this is there any overriding way?
I believe it is by design the Windows 7 doesnt let you do this programmatically.
Could you not do something on the main TaskBar using the Windows API Code Pack?
