Thanks for doing that. I couldn't figure out how when I first posted. It usually does it by itself when I paste it from VS.

That is why I am here: it is not something that is easy to find. I am sorry I snapped earlier. I am always told to go to Google when I already have. I get a little annoyed at that sometimes, but that is not your fault.

Why don't you take a look deeper into the results? They are about how to remove the default buttons or restore them. I always Google first, I forgot that I need to mention that.

That looks like it would do the job, but I am not to enthused about the price tag. It surprises me that Aero-Peek wouldn't have an easy-ish to access API call.

I have seen programs that have the options "No proxy server", "Use IE Settings" and "Use custom settings". They are all set to "Use IE settings", but they don't have the delay that I am getting. How can I do this? Or is there just a delay that I am not seeing?

Then is there a way to reliably get around this without causing problems? I know a few .NET applications that don't block when they check for updates. You mentioned GetEmptyWebProxy(), but wouldn't that cause problems on some computers?

Then would it be fixed if I stuck the download part in another Thread? How would I reliably cancel that thread? When it is blocked, it Thread.Abort() does not Abort it until it is unblocked.

That appears to have fixed the problem, but can I count on it not having this issue with users of my application?

I just reviewed my code. It is the only thing it can be. I remove the line that calls the function and it works just fine. I also tried removing the code in the DownloadStringCompleted event and it still froze it until it finished. I am trying to an autoupdate for my program. If I were to put it in a separate thread, how would I stop it? Whenever I have done threading with the DownloadString function, the Thread.Abort() doesn't abort the thread until the download finishes. Is there a way to get around this?

I'm afraid that didn't help. At least, it is not doing the same thing that an installer does when the Icons flash to a blank page and reload.

So, You mean I can emulate it and make something like it, but not use the native way?

The DisplayFusion Beta (which I believe is developed with .Net) has an aero peek function like the Windows taskbar, which, leads me to believe that it must be possible.

Yes, that is what I am trying to do, expose another icon besides the default application one. So, there is no way to do that? Sorry if I was a little unclear about my intentions.

I am not trying to make a file association. I am trying to make an embedded icon available to be set for a file association. When I set an icon file to 'Embedded Resource' and then open up Resource Hacker (or any similar program), that icon the I set to 'Embedded Resource' is not displayed, so how do I get it's ID to set for file associations?

if by refactor you mean remove the creation of a second thread, no. That would prevent my code from moving on. So, inter-thread stuff is what I need, but I don't know how to do it.

Ok, I looked a the code for the PipeServer. It does create a new thread which run a 'while true' loop. If I removed the creation of the second thread it would hang the rest of my program. How would I go about returning to the original thread before raising the event?

Ok, thanks I will try that. All My stuff should be in the same thread but wyDay's Server file Imports Threading, so it may create a new thread. I will have to look into that. Thanks!

I have tried that it did not show up in any icon extractors.

I am still not quite sure you understand. I am trying to add an icon for a save file, so I have the main Icon and one given to saved output files. Sorry, I should have put it that way to begin with; it is probably a little clearer about my intentions.

Please read the entire question. I am NOT trying to extract the icon. I am trying to add an icon to be extracted besides just the application icon.

Sorry, that is not what I need. I am not trying to extract it, I am trying to make it extractable.

That is perfect!

Thanks for showing me that! :)

I guess I could do that. I just did not think that it was a desirable or common thing to do.

I decided to go with a hidden master form. Thanks for your help :)

There is no form. It uses Sub Main and ApplicationContext.

I am not sure you understood. I only wants parts of the form transparent. While TransparencyKey will work for that part, it will make that area click thoughable.

I will probably just use the built in Settings stuff in VB.Net. I recently figured out that it should work fine.

Thanks!

P.S. Instead of saving the key in LocalMachine, try putting it in CurrentUser (or whatever it is). That should not require Admin privileges. Although, it will only be readable by that one user.

Yes, that is what I want to do. I have actually done a bit of googling my self. I have code, but the code won't fill in the upload box. Here is the code right here: WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("ctl00_cphRoblox_Uploader").SetAttribute("value", Decals(Current))
I have double checked the element Id, and it is correct. Is there a mistake that you see that I do not? The 'Decals' variable is a List of strings.

Thanks again!

Basically, I am try to make an automatic web form filler. The web form that I am trying to fill out is designed to upload files, more specifically, images. I am having a hard time getting my program to set the input box to the file. I hope this is more clear.

Thanks for your willingness to help me!

Thanks for your reply, but the web form is not mine. I am creating a regular VB.Net WinForms project that will fill in a form and then submit it.

Thanks for your reply :)

So, The only ways to do what I want to do are: Keep Framework Enabled and Have an Invisible form or get into fairly advanced code?
