I am creating processes, running an app, however if the user closes the app, how can I detect if the window has been destroyed. The process (pid) is still alive until i kill it?

border of that said window so the only place the mouse can't click the titlebar and the minimize,restore, and maximize button. The height of the titlebar depends on what OS the user is using so I'm having trouble because I can't give a definite value for this. How do I detect the height. and also for border i'm not sure if the borders have different widths with different operating systems. I'm using windows XP on classic mode, when I change to the themed mode, the height of the title bar changes so it won't work.
View 3 RepliesI have a snippet below how to kill multiple instances of different processes by the name of exe file
For Each processName As String In {"notepad", "word", "excel"}
Dim pProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(processName)
For Each p As Process In pProcess
p.Kill()
Next
Next
But if user will change the name of exe file it will not work. So the question is how to kill them by window title which contains {"notepad", "word", "excel"}?

I've been searching all over and unable to find a way to do this. I'm not sure if it is possible but thought I would ask. I have a program that runs in the background and hooks the keyboard keys to perform actions when a hotkey is pressed. However I don't want it to do anything if the forground window (of another application) is in edit mode so if you map the v key, the user will still be able to enter it in a text box. Is there a way to detect if the forground window or control is currently in edit mode?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to find out a way to detect when ever the user presses CTRL -ALT - DEL or Window + L to lock the PC.The code I'm using is
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
If (GetAsyncKeyState(17) AndAlso GetAsyncKeyState(18) AndAlso GetAsyncKeyState(46)) Or ((GetAsyncKeyState(91) Or GetAsyncKeyState(92)) AndAlso GetAsyncKeyState(76)) Then[code]....
However, as soon as the user presses CTRL-ALT-DEL the Windows Security Screen comes up and it is too fast for VB to detect that the keys have been pressed.I did a little reaserch on how to work around this issue and found that a GINA stub can be written which can delay the Windows Security Screen by some time say 2 secs which would be enough for VB to detect that the keys have been pressed.Also disabling Ctrl-Alt-Del through VB does not work because it is too fast for VB and I would like not to disable CTRL-ALT-DEL

I currently have the following up in VS 2010

For some time ago i have notice that my App on every start make a call to csc.exe and starts it. I know for sure that that did not happened before and I can not find out why this is happening now, or better to say: what did I do in code to make this happened? I have google-it and found out that csc.exe is some kind off on-the-fly compiler for C# (If I understand it correctly ) but my App is in VB.net so I am a bit confused. Can someone explain it to me in general what have I did in my VB.NET code to make my App on every start calls csc.exe?
View 17 Repliesim making a task manager and want to get cpu usage of a process this is how my code looks now
For Each proc As System.Diagnostics.Process In pList
Dim lstStuff As ListViewItem = New ListViewItem()
lstStuff.Text = proc.Id.ToString
[code]....
everything works but the cpu part it returns values over 100%?
is there a way to only get the processes that are shown in taskmgr?
The reason for this is because taskmgr hides some task on vista because you have to be admin to see all of it.
i have a small issue while developing a windows application using VB.Net . i will explain the scenario here. My application contains one form which has two tab buttons. say tab1 and tab2. In tab1, i have an option to download data from various sites. this takes few minutes. lets say 15 minutes. and in tab2 i have an option to view the logs. my problem is i am unable to click the tab2 unless and untill the downloading finish. my doubt is how to do more than processes at the same time. if i am right we need to use threading concept here.
View 1 RepliesI have a need to search for a specific process in task manager and attach (dock) my application to the window for that process. I have this working just fine. The problem I'm having is that sometimes this process may be running more than once (for example: running two Internet Explorers would put two iexplore.exe entries in Task Manager).
Is there a way to get the one that was opened first? I'm not sure how they get "sorted" in the Process list, but currently I am retrieving the first occurrence of the process and docking to it, but I'm finding that it isn't always the correct one. How can I make it always dock to the process entry that was opened first?

I have 3 questions:
1) How to detect a starting process -
Solved here
2) How to capture a copy of the process and look in all controls from all forms to see if the Text/Items property has offensive keywords
3) If yes, how to close them immediately. - myProcess.kill
Write your code as efficient as you can to reduce CPU load, to consume less energy and protect our planet from global warming.
I have done a lot of searching and cannot find a solution to my problem of, my application appearing in the processes even after exit.
Note: It doesnt appear in the processes due to the type of exit i have used after the click function happens.
