I have tried to make a program not able to be forced to close by naming it the same as a system process. However, this only works on XP, not on Vista. I don't actually mind if the program is closed but I would like something to happen when it is, thus being able to end the process is not good.Is there any event that can contain code to be run when the process is stopped? I'm guessing not but it's worth asking. If not, is there any other way to stop this? Maybe have 2 programs continually watching for each other or something?
I am making a function of an application that when a function is called the application will close all processes that are owned by the user and were started after a specific point. My thoughts on this would be to trigger an event in my application every time a process is started and ended, and only if the processes is owned by the user, the event should get information (e.g. the process ID, name, etc) about that process and add or remove that information to/from an array depending on if the process starts or ends. Then when a function is called end all the processes in that array.
i'd like to know how to make an event happen when user presses a key ... let's say space or whichever...and the other thing - how to display a folder on my hard disk ("E:Music") in a ListView box in my program?
Trying to create a button that when clicked will check to see if a certain process image is running and if that process is running give the process focus. If the process is not running then start the application.
Starting from my understanding about Background worker control, I understands that the background worker runs the code in its "DoWork" method in a seperate thread, while ProgressChanged and RunWorkerCompleted events are executed on the main thread.In my senerio, I report the progress and under an specail condition my application displays a message box to the user in "ProgressChanged" method using MessageBox.Show(). and in "Run Worker Completed" event the application finalize some work. There the sequence is important, suppose that the message is of Yes or No type and finalization depends on it. Now when i run my application, the background worker triggers "ProgressChanged", but as soon as backgroundWorker's cancelAsync() is called the program leaves the current "ProgressChanged" method and executes "RunWorkerCompleted" code first.How can i make sure that the "Run Worker Completed" code executes only after the completion of ProgressChanged method.
How Do I Make Button.click Event Perform both the enter and period(del) keys on the numeric keypad? [Code] Case Keys.Enter and Case Keys.Separator do not work. Nor does anything like Keys.OEMPeriod for the period(del) key. I've also tried calling the enter key in a KeyPress event etc. But to no avail. Any ideas? I'm trying to mimic Windows calc.exe for a school project and thought I'd try throwing in a few extras such as numeric keypad functionality.
Whats happening is I run the code below and get the following error "The system cannot find the file specified". I've read that with UseShellExecute set to false that you can't use WorkingDirectory.
Dim Password As String = "password" Dim SecureStringPassword As New System.Security.SecureString For Each c As Char In Password
At the moment, I am writing a class that deals with starting an application in a thread, as well as being able to monitor the closure of the thread and process, and the creation of the thread and process through events. I have absoloutly no problems with monitering the creation of the thread and its internal process within the subs that create them. I placed notifications within the "myprocess_Exited",(for the process closure) and "myprocess_Disposed"(for the thread closure) events.
The problem comes when I terminate the outside application manually; these events do not appear to fire when the application is closed by the user, rather than by code.I thought, since the application closes with an error code when it is terminated in such a way, that it raises the "myprocess_ErrorDataRecieved" event. But this doesn't appear to happen either. Here is some of the code from that class:
'Some of the decleratoins Event ProcessStarted(ByVal Process As Process) Event ThreadStarted(ByVal Thread As System.Threading.Thread)
I need a simple system that allows one process to check if another process is running (I think I can do that fine using Process.getProcessByName or similar) and then trigger an event in that process assuming it is.When I say trigger an event I do not mean that literally. I simply need to trigger a sub in the first process from the second.I know that IPC like this would normally be done with pipes or remoting or something like that but I have no experience with these and am looking for a quick solution, so unless these can be used relatively easily to solve this I am looking for an alternative.
I wrote the following lines of code within the even handler for a Process_Exited event. The really weird thing is that on the fifth line I get the error "Process must exit before requested informaiton can be determined. (When trying to access the Exit Time & Exit Code)
Private Sub AssociatedProcess_Exited(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
AssociatedProcess.Exited Do Until AssociatedProcess.HasExited = True
I have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).
I have designed a program in vb2010 that monitor the opened pages in the internet browser like firefox and terminate it when detecting that it is contains improper contents for children and it works will but the problem is that any clever one can stop theocesgent

Hows it going. Im in some need some help. Im trying to make a Program called process master, and one of it's features is When clicking an item in Listbox1, It will show on the side in Label 11 the path of that process.
System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory.listbox1.selecteditem = label11.text As you can very well see, im new with System.IO commands. Been wanting this as one of the main features!
I am working on a Windows Service project that is supposed to start automatically with Windows and it has a timer to check if a certain process is created (in this case "iexplorer") the service should terminate that process. In addition, the user should not be able to stop the windows service.
I was able to create the process and make start with Windows. I changed the property (CanStop) to False but that did not help because after a few tries the servise stops. I used a For-Next loop in the timer to check for the process to terminate but unfortunatly, it didn't work. The code I used is:
Dim theProcesses() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("Iexplore") For Each currentProcess As Process In theProcesses
I wrote a program using VB 2008 Express Edition and noticed that when I close the program (by clicking the "X" top right corner), sometimes the program is still showing in processes within Task Manager.What do I need to include in my programming to make sure this does not occur - i.e. make sure the process ends when I exit the program?
i just want to know how i can make this program run proberly. if you import a file in the listbox and you wanne start it whit the process.start methode it won't work. here is my code:
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
[code]....
My question is how can i make the process.start work properly and will the program start the file?
I am trying to create an application that will make calls to an API. I want this process to be fully automated to run a few times a day. What kind of application in vb.net can be automated? I've created windows applications in the past, but never automated anything.
