I am writing a dictionary same as "Just Click'n'See" software (English to Vietnamese).
I want to read text under mouse from any Application.
I am using Hook technology to determine Window which is activing. Example, when I click mouse in the text of any application then I want to put that text into a variable. Please help me.
Thank you very much.

This is, actually, quite difficult to achieve. There are two general schools of thought on how to do this. Since text can show up in any number of controls, there is no one standard method that works for all those controls.
The first theory is, you have to retrieve the window handle of the control that the mouse is over, put together a WM_TEXT message, send the message to that window handle and hope that window responds to the message. This will give to ALL the text in the control, not just under the mouse pointer. That's the easy part. The very hard part is calculating what text is under the mouse pointer. Your guess is as good as any as to how you're going to do that reliably.
The other theory involves OCR algorithms and reading the area of the screen under the mouse pointer. Just putting together an OCR package that works with all the different fonts you'll find under the mouse pointer will be just as hard as theory number one.
But, it can be done...

Thanks for your helping. Now, I can take the image at mouses'position. But I don't obtain result that I want to take. Now I want to read the text in that image. If you have some code, please share me. (VB.NET).

That where the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) comes in. Search the Articles for OCR and you'll find some examples. Good Luck implementing it!

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows of an article or some sort of code snippet that could help me with my problem. I have a custom combo box that inherits from the vs.net toolbox combobox. I am needing my combobox to set the selected index to -1 when the user either types a value that is not in the list, or deletes the text in the combobox making the value = "". I have tried to set the selected index in the key up event by calling a function that sets the selected index = -1 twice eg. comb.selectedIndex = -1 (newline) comb.selectedIndex = -1. This doesn't seem to work very well. I have attempted to search through the articles on codeproject with no luck finding any of the combobox articles that set the selected index to -1. They all seem to set the index = 0. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.

What do you mean by "alive"? If I understand this correctly, there's not way to do this.

In VB, there is a hidden variable <event name="">Event that you can check.
e.g., if an event is "foo", you can code:
If Not fooEvent Is Nothing Then

I'm wondering what he means by "active". Event will tell you if it's wired up, but "active"? What does that mean?

This is probably a simple question, but for some reason (maybe Monday morning fog, or too many Christmas goodies in the conference room to distract me from thinking) but I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I have a textbox on a Windows form, and the client is supposed to enter a date in this textbox. The information is then posted via a stored procedure into a SQL table in a column that is formatted datetime.
You would think this is simple, but even when I put a valid date like 11/11/99 in the text box, when it executes the following code I get the message 'Cast from string "System.Windows.Forms.TextBox, Te" to type 'Date' is not valid.'.
cmdPost.Parameters("@BirthDate").Value = frmEx.tbxDOB.ToString
Even if I change the code to the example below, I get the same error.
cmdPost.Parameters("@BirthDate").Value = CDate(frmEx.tbxDOB.ToString).ToShortDateString
I know the answer is something simple, and after a few more glasses of egg nog, maybe I'll figure it out, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate your input.
Thanks

try this format date
example:
frmEx.tbxDOB.text = "1999.11.11" or
frmEx.tbxDOB.Text = "2005.12.19"
cmdPost.Parameters("@BirthDate").Value = frmEx.tbxDOB.Text.ToString
|
|
|
|
|
If I use this format I get the following error
The string was not recognized as a valid DateTime. There is a unknown word starting at index 0.

Thanks for your help. I know what happened. I was using ...tostring, and should have used ...text.
I knew it was simple. Thanks for your time.
