  Hi All, I have been working out how to test if a Window is obscured by another Window. For example; You have App1 and Notepad open.   Notepad is the selected (active) Window.   Notepad is only slightly or completely obscuring App1.

If anyone has a better s ...Show All

I know better and you know better but still there's that stigma associated with being a Visual Basic programmer vs. being a C++ or a C# programmer. Now that I use VB.Net it really couldn't be further from the truth since VB.Net does everything any contemporary OOP language does. So here's my sugg ...Show All
