You may want to Google for "windows image acquisition[^]". Why look in a folder when you can get the image directly from the camera. Maybe... it depends on if your camera supports it or not.

I once knew of an employer so cheap they made the developers use the shareware version of http://www.editplus.com/\[^\] rather than pay for a proper IDE. That is better. At least half a dozen companies in a random sampling of 50 in Chennai can be booked for illegal software. Microsoft and NASSCOM has to do something to 'check' menace.

IIRC on a multi-monitor environment, Windows puts every Form on the "primary monitor" by default, and that might not be what you want. If the desktop got extended over all monitors (that's a checkbox per monitor), and if the monitors are arranged such that they (almost) cover a true rectangle, then it makes sense to validate a form's bounds (thats location+size) against SystemInformation.VirtualScreen You may want to have a closer look at the Rectangle type, in particular Rectangle.Contains(). If the desktop does not extend over all monitors, then I don't know how forms get positioned on those non-desktop monitors. Feel free to tell me more about that. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] this weeks tips: - make Visual display line numbers: Tools/Options/TextEditor/AllLanguages/General - show exceptions with ToString() to see all information - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google

you should also be able to save the form size as a size value in settings as oppose to two seperate settings. Please check out my articles: The ANZAC's articles

The first table is 5 columns wide (table 1) and assembled in a hierarchy. I used Janus GridEx 2 (if that matters to anyone). There is another table that is 40,000 lines long (table 2) then another one that is a whimpy 40 lines (table 3). Table 1 is connected to table 2 which is connected to table 3 to form the hierarchy. I use a textbox (actually, Janus EditBox 2) because each individual number that I will be searching is unique. I was figuring that maybe this is possible, but I have found another way to do this. Thanks for the help! If this matters to anyone, I used the filter on the GridEX itself. Thanks again!

`Drew wrote: One way to do that would be using the publishing tool that comes with Visual Studio. My question is how do you change the location where you install your program to? If you're talking about ClickOnce deployment, you don't get to specify where the app is installed. `Drew wrote: Also, is there a way to use a different installer (InstallShield, for example) instead of the one that is included? Sure, there's just no integration with Visual Studio. You'll have to assemble the installation package using the UI exposed by the app you're using.

Looks like I got it figured. Thanks for the help and speedy responses. The fact that this is going to be an app for just this company and it's a rather small app causes me to not worry about messy code. It doesn't need to work fast and besides that, it's only a database front-end, so I'm not going to be too worried if it breaks. Thanks again! -------------------------------- If it ain't broke, break it!
