I'm launching an Access ADE, using Tony Toews auto FE program. The AutoFE programs will, if newer version available, copy the latest version of the ADE from the server, then launch it. My code looks like:
Dim stAutoFE As String = "V:Appsautofestartmdb.exe /cmd /inifile: " & """" & "V:AppsAutoFESSP.ini" & """"
Shell(stAutoFE, AppWinStyle.Hide, True)
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) ' Time delay
[code]....
I had to put the Sleep delay in, otherwise the GetObject would open the ADE a second time.But I don't know how long the copy from the server will take, so I need to remove that Sleep line and check that the ADE has opened.
I have my program (Student Pad - The Project - Haxaro Freeware) and it has gone fairly large. In my next release, i would like to know how many user approximatly are using it, so when ever a user opens my program for the first time on that computer, it sends me, or my website a report telling me that it was opened on a computer. so if 4,000 people download and open it, i should get 4,000 emails or reports
I have a CheckBox Question in VB 2005, I will have a bunch of checkBoxes not checked but once I check them I would like to display the check the next time the program is opened. How would I do that?
I've got an application which I want to only have 1 open.How would I make it check if the application is already open and only open if it isn't? I've had the idea of using 2 forms, one of which is the proper application and the other which just checks if its running then opens the other form.I would imagine it would check if there's more than 1 of the process name running and if there is close all others?
how can I check(with code) if an mdichild form is already opened or not. I have some mdichildforms that may open together. If an mdichild form is opened I want to dislpay the already opened form and not a new one.
My program opens 4 excel spreadsheets updating info. I update one at a time and then close it before opening the next one.I want to add code to my program to test if the file is already open, before trying to open it. Occasionally someone will have one of the files opened and it causes a crash. If I test to ensure it is not open, then I can avoid this.
What I wanted to do is close all opened workbooks. This code does the work IF there is at least one or more opened workbooks. My problem is IF there is NO opened workbook at all; It goes around unendlessly in the WHILE Loop. How do I not process the closing IF there is no any opened workbook at all? (NOTE: I found this code from somewhere else.)
I have code which saves DGV contents including check box columns as a comma separated text file. I also have correct code which will take the text file and re-insert it into the DGV at a later time. This all works.When I'm working on the DGV, I have this
Private Sub DataGridView1_CellValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellValueChanged If DataGridView1.Columns(e.ColumnIndex).Name = "Column12" Then[code]....
So that when the check box is true, columns 1 and 3 turn different colours, and when false, go to a yellow colour.However, when I "re-insert" my DGV info from my text file, the check boxes come back correctly - as true and false on the right rows - but columns 1 and 3 don't change colour. I've tried a "DataGridView1.Refresh" option but not getting it to work.The DGV is unbound. I need it to recognise which check boxes are true and update automatically when the information is opened from a text file.
I am trying to execute the shell script in vb.net.[code]...
The script doesn't create the outfile mentioned in -out switch. The path mentioned is correct and also the command with switches is correct. It runs well in command prompt but not in the program. [code]...
I'm going to attempt to make a shell replacement for the Windows default shell: explorer.exe. I'm not sure if its possible using Vb.Net, but I can't seem why not. My end goal is to use a custom made shell for a Windows Preinstallation Environment instead of the default command prompt. I plan to use a 3rd party program to compile the program with the .NET Framework. Otherwise, it wouldn't work because Windows PE does not support the .NET Framework.
So, let's say that I have a VBA application inside of whatever Office Application. I have created a command-line VB.net program to do all of the fun web-services stuff.Okay, the VBA application calls Shell() to run the command line program. Now, what is the best way to get information (a tracking number for a package) from the VB.net program back into the VBA program?
I'm trying to make a per-user shell for a Vista box to simplify use of a particular system for my users. I have no problem making a program that I want to use and I am familiar with the process of editin the registry to make my program the users shell but I've run into a snag.
Whenever a user with the custom shell logs on, there is a delay just after they enter their password where the system will sit at "Preparing Desktop" for about 30 seconds. I know for a fact that the user desktop is already made and this shouldn't be taking that long.
I've poked around on the web and see various places saying that winlogon is waiting for the shell to flag a "shell ready" flag of some sort but I am unfamiliar with any such flag.
Anyone know of such a fix for the long login time or anything about a shell ready flag?
visual basic 2010 after converting a program from visual basic 2008 is stating that the Shell function is a namespace and cannot be used as an expression. this can be fixed with the create sub feature but when debugging causes an error stating that there is a nohandled exception.
I need to be able to kick off a vb.net program on a windows server from a unix shell script on an AIX server. What what I need to do to make this possible? I'm a newbie on the .Net side, but I was thinking, maybe make the vb.net program some sort of web service then have the unix shell script invoke that somehow
im working on a little project what executes a bat file on a button click using this command:Interaction.Shell("read.bat", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus, True, -1)however when this is executed the program will become unresponsive while it is running... this may be simple but is there a way i can make my program be responsive and for it to execute in the background?
I have the following problem. I have a worker in VB .net (2010) which runs a shell-program. The shell program is a service and output stuff like: Server initializing... Server opening port... more info...
I am able to 'catch' the output of the shell and add it to a textbox (using set text function). And I am able to Cancel the worker by clicking on a stopbutton, however when there is no more output by the shell I cannot stop the worker anymore. At least I suspect that's the case. I've tried checking for endofstream (commented section) but that doesn't work. I've also tried to same code with some test text in stead of 'clsProcess.StandardOutput.ReadLine' and that also works. So I came to the conclusion it must have something to do with clsProcess.StandardOutput.ReadLine being at the end?
The command procedure calls a Java program that opens a dialog box, the cmd and java exe shows up in task manager, so I know it is being called, but no dialog box. I know normally having anything show up on a server that requires user interaction is a bad idea, but in the case, the users remote into the server to do their work. (They have to because of the environment) So, there is no problem with them being able to respond to a dialog box. I just need it to show up.
(I cannot rewrite the Java program as the latest source is not the right version) Running, Framework 2.0, 3.5.
For some reason, every time I hit the red "X" button to close the program. The program closes, but the process is still there. How do I make it so that if I press it, itll end the process too?
Is it possible to link a process (i.e. osk.exe) opened by a program so it dies when calling program dies?So, I start my application, it starts OSK.EXE, and if the program crashes, the on-screen keyboard is still there. Possible to link the two so that the process dies when the application dies?
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and developing a VB.NET application. I'm having strange lockup problems with my program, but only when Internet explorer 8 is opened.
When I cover my form with another window and then uncover it, I find that it has locked up. My program has no references to IE and the only thing it even has to do with IE is using Process.Start with a web address.
My program works fine and exactly as it should, but only when IE is not opened.
Does anyone know why a program would lock up only while IE is running?
Edit: I've done some digging and I've found the offending thread in my program. I don't know what starts this thread or what it does, but when I kill it, my program no longer freezes. The thread is one of the CreateApplicationContext threads, here is the last few items in the stack trace of that thread.
This always happens to me in Visual Basic. Whenever I save a project from one day and open it again using that same VB version the next day, I can never see the form design. But if I click on Debug, I can see the Form design and only use it as if it were a program.
