The HotkeyManager Class makes it easy to set global hotkeys for applications. It is a wrapper class that raises HotkeyPressed event whenever a registered hotkey by the HotkeyManager class is pressed. The class keeps a collection of the registered hotkeys (in Hotkey data type) and it is available to the developer through the Hotkeys property of the HotkeyMananger object. The HotkeyManager can be used to register, unregister or replace (registered by the HotkeyManager) hotkeys....

This month's installment represents the final column in a series of three focusing on programming events. In the previous two columns, I showed you how to define and raise events (see Basic Instincts: Programming with Events Using .NET and Basic Instincts: Static Event Binding Using WithEvents). I also explained how to wire up event handlers using both dynamic and static event binding. This month I am going to conclude my coverage of events by showing some practical examples of handling some of ...

The built-in Object Browser in Visual Basic, like other component browsers such as OLE View and XRay, is one of the more useful tools. But an even better tool would be customizable. You can build your own type library browser using the TypeLib Information Object Library (TLI), a set of COM objects designed to allow programmers to browse type libraries programmatically. This article explains type libraries and the TLI object model, and shows how to use the collections to get information about obj...

As a VB developer one thing that I've been wondering how to achieve is providing my assemblies with a more professional look by adding summaries, descriptions, help and remarks to the classes, members and parameters. This help is often seen when using commercial assemblies both in the Object Browser and programmatically as you hover over a member shown in your IntelliSence list. Very regularly we must all think, OK what exactly does this parameter mean and even more importantly what does the met...

Once you've made a namespace accessible to your code, you can access any of the types it contains. In this section, we'll survey the types that a .NET namespace can contain. In VB.NET, classes are reference types; that is, when you create an instance of a class in code, you work with a pointer (or reference) to the object rather than with the object itself. This is similar to previous versions of Visual Basic....

Every so often, while happily coding along in .NET, I’ll run into an object with a few methods that just don’t make sense. The .NET ListView object was just one of those. In VB6 it was a piece of cake to sort by columns in a ListView. All you did was pass it the index of the column you wanted to sort by. Now, in .NET, things have gotten a little bit more complicated. The gist of the new method is this: you must create your own custom class that implements the IComparable interface and overrides ...
