Call An App From Its Location But Launches Where Vb App Lives?
May 22, 2011ok so heres the scenario. Ive made an app in visual basic 2010 that calls another application in c:pinger 2.0. In the directory pinger 2.0 are many sub folders from 15-500 named 15-500. I have a button that does this:Shell("c:pinger 2.0" & TextBox1.Text & "pinger.exe")
so basically if i type 15 it launches c:pinger 2.015pinger.exe which works flawlessly however this pinger.exe requires a host file thats .txt based. My problem is when it launches pinger form subfolder 15 it cant locate the hosts.txt. To do a little troubleshooting i loaded the hosts.txt file in the same directory as my VB app and then it worked just fine but this is no good.the whole point of having different subfolders is because each sub has a different hosts.txt file.So what im experiencing is when i call pinger.exe its looking for the hosts.txt file in the root of the VB application and not the subfolder 15-500 is there a way to call a program and let it run from its original location so it will find the hosts.txt file in the correct subfolder?
i can upload my project if this mumbo jumbo has confused you, perhaps theres some ,vb"switch" i can run? like:Shell("c:pinger 2.0" & TextBox1.Text & "pinger.exe",vbrunwhereyoursupposedtoplease)
Debug Across Projects In Program If One Launches Other?
Aug 3, 2010I have a VS 2008 Solution in VB.Net that has 2 projects - a Launcher and the App. The Launcher is what runs first, checks to make sure the App has all the latest files from the network, etc. and then launches the App. The Launcher allows the user to select their environment (Test, Production) then passes those values into the App.exe as command line arguments.
This works fine when running normally, but when trying to debug this, I'm trying to figure out how to start Debugging from the Launcher, then pass the selected Environment into the other project so it can read them as command line arguments.
Form Application That Launches A Bunch Of Shortcuts?
Jan 18, 2011I've written a very simple form application that launches a bunch of shortcuts. There's one particular one I want to launch, but it's got a lot of switches with special characters. I can't figure out how to make the switches/arguments into a string so that VB2010 will pass it to the executible cleanly.. Here's what I did, I'm sure it's laughable, but I guess everyone starts somewhere:
Private Sub Button11_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button11.Click
Dim MyString As String = ","/CitrixShortcut: (1) /QLaunch "CHCFarm:Citrix Console""
Process.Start("C:Program FilesCitrixICA Clientpnagent.exe",MyString)
End Sub
Shell Command Launches An App Differently Than Running The Executable
Sep 1, 2009I have a legacy vb6 application that uses a shell command to launch a newer .net application. It's a very simple command, just launches an app. Here's the problem. When I run the .net app through the shell command, it tries to connect to a database that is not referenced in it. If I double-click the .net executable, it runs just fine and connects the way it is supposed to. Normal, no problems. Only when I run it from the shell command do I have problems. I have checked everything I can think of and simply can not come up with a reason why the app would behave differently when launched from a shell command.
View 3 RepliesHow An Application Like GameSpy Or GameRanger Launches Applications And Is Able To Sync With Other Users(all Joining Together)
Feb 14, 2010I have been trying to figure out how an application like GameSpy or GameRanger launches applications and is able to sync with other users(all joining together). I have been under the assumption that it was just simple command line switches being used. The more I look into it the more I don't think that is the case. I believe they are hooking into a game's API to do so. My question would be, using OllyDbg I was able to get the memory address of a Text display in the game(The game you are about to create's name).The default is "TEST SESH", and if you highlight the field and hit enter you can edit it. I was wondering if anyone could give me incite on how I could set this text through a DLL injection?

View 3 RepliesGet The 'Progress' Dialog To Display Immediately After The 'Install Icon' Dialog Disappears?
Jun 4, 2009I have a simple desktop application that uses a .NET setup project (.msi file) to perform the installation. On the first installation, everything proceeds in a timely fashion with good feedback for the user.The problem occurs when the user is installing the latest version of the application over an old version on their machine.There is an unacceptably long delay of about 60 to 180 seconds from the time the installer's 'Welcome' dialog [It's not the Welcome dialog, I've removed that from the Start section of the setup project and replaced it with a CheckBox dialog to ask if the user wants a shortcut on the desktop] disappears until the 'Progress' dialog appears. The user sees minute(s) of blank screen and thinks the install has stopped or failed.
In the setup project properties, I've got the 'DetectNewerInstalledVersion' and 'RemovePreviousVersions' properties set to true. So, I believe that while nothing appears to be happening, the installer is actually removing the old version. The 'Progress' dialog does not appear until the new version begins installation.I've been trying to either:
a) Get the 'Progress' dialog to display immediately after the 'Install Icon' dialog disappears
b) Show another dialog while the Uninstall is running to let the user know that the setup is still running and everything is OK.
I have been unsuccessful with both methods. I'm using VS 2008 SP1?

View 3 RepliesPassing Information Between Forms/dialogs (Form -> Dialog -> Dialog)?
Dec 22, 2009I often use the process of displaying a dialog from a form, with the dialog user input then used to update the main form without any problem. In a new scenerio I launch the main application screen, I then show a login dialog ontop of the main app screen and can launch another dialog from the login if a new user is required. The plan is to update the login dialog (updating a combobox to reflect the addition of a new user) from the new user dialog.
See code below :-
'Update login forms user list as new user added successfully
frmRoomBookingLogin.cboLogin.DataSource = Nothing
frmRoomBookingLogin.txtPassword.Text = "Updating password from dialog"
MessageBox.Show("The password text is " & frmRoomBookingLogin.txtPassword.Text)
[code]....
The messagebox implies the dialog has been updated yet the text does not change. Is it possible to update the dialog when using a setup such as Form -> dialog -> dialog? I'm intrigued as why the dialog does not reflect changes. I have never refreshed/repainted the dialog as never required to in my other examples when updating a form from a dialog and never encountered a problem when using a two tier form setup.
How To Use A File Opener Dialog And A Folder Browser Dialog
Jan 27, 2010I have an assignment due this week in which I have to make a app that has 5 buttons and a picture box. When each button is clicked it has to show the corresponding picture in the picture box, the fifth button closes the app.
I have the whole form set up the way it should be, but I have no idea how to write the code to make the buttons display the images and close the app.I have the images in a folder within the project folders.
I have yet to be able to find one, the one I found should how to do it using a file opener dialog and a folder browser dialog but that is not what I think my prof wants us to do, as that is more for a picture viewer app that lets the user choose the file of the image they want ot view.
All i want is for the buttons to be linked to specific photos that are part of the application itself and have them open.

View 12 RepliesDialog OK Button Sometimes Returns Dialog Cancel?

After the dialog I have an if statement: If frmRelease.ShowDialog() <> Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel then.My buttons are set as DialogResult = OK and DialogResult = Cancel respectively on the dialog form.
For some reason, sometimes my button set to DialogResult = OK is returning me a DialogResult.Cancel, and causing me to skip a block of cleanup code.

JIT Debugging Instead Of Dialog Box

View 4 RepliesSaving Without A Dialog?
Nov 14, 2009For my program I've developed the code so that when I click a button a textfile automatically opens without the dialog and shows in the textbox;
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C:ContactsCornwall.DOOS"
If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(FILE_NAME)
TextBox1.Text = objReader.ReadToEnd
objReader.Close()
However, can this be done for the Save function aswell, so that when I click Button 1, the file automatically saves to C:Cornwall.DOOS instead of having to use the Save File Dialog

In the Open With dialog I use the Browse button to find my application and select it. In the Open With dialog the application icon is shown, but the name of the app is blank (looks like an empty string). Can anyone tell me why this might be happening? I've looked at the Registry, which shows the correct app, but every time I open the Open With dialog only the application icon is displayed, no name.
