VB Forum / Win API / January 2007

I am using the SetLayeredWindowAttributes function to create a irregular
shaped window using a Bitmap on a form with a transparency color.    This
works great but I would like to get rid of the jagged edges that show on the
screen.

I tried a simple VB.Net console program  that uses win32 api call on
WinSpool.drv to query a local or remote printer's sharing status. The API
calls I used are OpenPrinter, GetPrinter and ClosePrinter. The program runs
perfectly on x86 32-bit platform.

I need to interact with another application, such as selecting an item in a
combobox, setting the text in a textbox, checking a checkbox, etc. I know
the ControlID's for each control in the applicaiton that I need to access.
I'm assuming that I'd use the API SendMessage or ...

Just wondering if anyone knows what the return values are for
GetProcessAffinity using a quad core CPU, using code below works fine
for dual core.

I searched a couple of graphical programming and mathematics books I had and
didn't find anything in there. A google search came up empty as well, so
before I set down with pen and paper, I figured I'd ask here.
Given a VB rectangle (standard VB coordinates with the minimum value ...

I posted to this group rather than microsoft.public.vb.com because this
group seems to be more active and I think that the API gurus here might
better appreciate the low-level hackery that I'm going to espouse near
the end.

I found this AA class on PlanetSource a few years back, and optimized it a
bit, but the code is so loosely commented that I'm honestly a bit lost in
all of it.
In any event, it's taking some 0.10 seconds to render about 60 anti-aliased

Is there anyway to get the full path text from the short path.  What I
need is the reverse of the GetShortPathName API that would expand the
short path.

I'm attempting to create a reparse point (directory junction) from VB.
After having read the MSDN on this subject, I tried it out.  This is
what I have so far:

Can somebody provide me with some example code for creating a message
only window.
Thanks

I am having no luck using api calls to capture an image of an mpeg file
to a bitmap. I am using the code in the following knowledgebase
article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/161299. It is a lot of code
with dozens of api declares and type declarations so I have not posted

I've been trying to use ImpersonateSelf here, and ran into a few problems. I
just want to jot them down in case anyone else finds them useful.
To start with, the API TextViewer declaration is wrong. It declares it as:
   Private Declare Function ImpersonateSelf Lib "advapi32.dll"

Can anyone tell me where I might find a list of the valid command
strings for the mciSendString API
Thanks

This problem is driving me mad, and from this forum lot's of other
people too!
