Background Program To Detect When Regedit Tries To Run?
Sep 3, 2011
I have Windows XP Pro, SP3 on a Dell Dimension 9150 with VB 3.0 and all other Visual Studios up to and including VS2010 Pro.I'm not exactly an expert VB programmer, but I have written several different programs.I would like to write a VB program to run in the background and detect when the program regedit.exe/regedt32.exe tries to run.Once the regedit program tries to run, I would like my background program to pop up a message with three options. Allow, Do Not Allow and Cancel.
The Allow button would allow regedit to run.The Don't Allow button will not allow regedit to run and continue to run in the background. The Cancel button would not allow regedit to run and would cancel the background program.Can this be done?I would explain why I want to do this, but it would take too much of this thread. However, if anybody really needs to know, I will accommodate their request.

I need to be able to detect when the background changes, for example user right clicks and selects next background, My first thought was using a FileSystemWatcher on the folder where the images are kept to detect when windows reads a image but that didn't work with the filter to last access but it doesn't seem to be working even when i run as administrator

I'm working on a web browser named Hyvar.NET and i'd like to integrate a form of shutdown detection into it.
Currently, it simply uses a tri-option setting to decide how it opens - like this
If My.Settings.LoadLastOnStart = True Then
frm.wbTab.Navigate(My.Settings.LastOpenedPage.ToString)
ElseIf My.Settings.HomeOnStart = True Then
[Code]....
Each variable is appropriately named for its job as you can see.
However, i want to change this to react to correct and incorrect shutdowns - unexpected and user instigated ones for example. I.E: if the settings variable for the detection contained 0x000000, it could indicate a clean exit and continue as normal with a new session, but 0x000001 would indicate an unclean shutdown and present the user with an option of reopening the last session or continueing as normal, like in IE 7/8
Im 100% sure this will require a windows API call

I have a little utility that everybody in our office uses on XP. This utility runs under our standard, non-Admin user profiles...and, where necessary, provides our Admin credentials to do things like connect to a remote computer, assign and take away rights, modify the registry, etc...I had added code to start the Registry Editor and the MMC....and it works fine....in XP. In Vista, that is an entirely different story.I've run into "Invalid Directory" errors and "Elevation Required" errors.What I have is :
Dim mypass As New System.Security.SecureString
Dim myprocessinfo As New ProcessStartInfo
myprocessinfo.UseShellExecute = False ' MUST be set to FALSE to work
[code].....

I try to read a registry key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE that I created with Regedit.I can read a key that already exists. I can't read the key I created.VS2010, Win 7 64-bits, target CPU x86 (ultimately this wil be used in a shared-addin for Office 2010) but CPU x64 gives same result
Dim mystring As String = ""
Dim mykey As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("software", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadSubTree)
'Dim mykey2 As RegistryKey = mykey.OpenSubKey("testa", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadSubTree)
[code]....

I have problems about USB device drivers: I can see the driver correctly installed but application says device is not present.
I solved using Regedit:
in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetEnumUSB
I have to manually delete the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetEnumUSBVid_04d8&Pid_8001
with all subkeys.
I've seen there are several examples managing registry keys using vb, but I can't understand how detect if the key is present and how delete it.

Objective : Time how long a user has been on the internet. I have never delved this deep into Visual Studio. I am suing Visual Basic 2010 Express. Please move it if you need to.
I want to have a program - that will detect running processes. If Internet Explorere EXE or Chrome or FireFox exe or any other browser is installed - as soon as that process starts the timer will appear.
When those processes are closed by the user the timer stops counting. This is possible but i dont know how. But i only want it to time just one internet process because timing them all when they are openend up at different times could cause bugs. Unless on the time form you have 1 timer for IE, 1 for FFox, 1 for Chrome 1 for Opera..

I have 26 buttons on my form (each a letter of the alphabet) i want to press a button lets say Z and that it then changes the relevant registry key value of 0 to 1 representing the button has already been clicked (these a-z buttons are to be compared with on/ off switches). This way if I start my program up again the values in the regedit will "memorise" wich buttons were turned on and wich were turned off in our previous program session.
Ultimately the buttons turned off should always appear as red until switched onagain
Dose anybody know how to achive this?

I have a custom button in IE8 which starts up my program. Now what I wanted to do, was pass an arguement such as: 'myprogram.exe /ie'
From the IE8 button, and well my program will do rest from there. Now my program adds the button just fine, shows up fine, all that works. But each time i'd add an argument after my application path, IE8 would say it can't find the program. If you want to test this out, goto run, type in gpedit.msc, then 'User Configuration'->'Windows Settings'->'Internet Explorer Maintenance'->'Browser User Interface', and double click on 'Browser Toolbar Customizations'. And in the small window that pops up, is an option for adding custom buttons to IE. I was using this for testing purposes, since it was faster to edit a button here than in my program. When you add a button you choose the executable to link it to. But if you add any arguments after it, IE will simply not be able to find the program. Even if that same command works when you type it from 'run'.
So, now my question is, since apperntly you can't have any arguments in the button, is it possible to detect what executable starts your program? For instance, detect if iexplore.exe started up my program?

is it possible to call another program in the background? I'n doing a project that uses .net to control a camera. the camera is nikon, which has a sdk. unfortunately, the sdk is an unmanaged dll, from the research I did, people complained that it is difficult to use it in .net. actually, no1 has example. but the sdk has sample in vc++. so, I'm thinking maybe can build the control program by vc++, then use vb.net or c# to it and run it in the background. so, I do not have to mess the dll to .net.
is this a good choice? or, not really? how to do it? if I use a console program, how to avoid popping up the cmd window?

Is there a way to detect a Chinese character in a string which is build like this:
dim test as string = "letters 中國的"
Now I want to substring only the Chinese characters. But my code is database driven, so I can't substring it, because the length is always different. So is there a way I can split the string, from the moment I detect a Chinese character?

How would I make my VB Program detect mouse clicks? I want the code in a timer. So if I turn the timer on, my program will detect a Mouse click and then do the rest of the Timer code. And after the timer code is done, I want it to do it again until the timer is closed. So if the timer is on, every time I click the mouse, (anywhere on screen) it will do the rest of timer code.
