View 4 RepliesI am trying to send a command to the external command line (cmd.exe) from the Windows form application that I'm writing in VB.NET (using VS2008).
I can only access the external program thru the command line (its not my program) and I must do so from a form app.
I am trying to use the following code. I am able to call a cmd.exe window, but I can't pass the command line my command.
Using mp As New Process
With mp.StartInfo
.FileName = "cmd.exe"

I have written a windows application, that can take in some command line arguments and can be ran from the command line as a scheduled task. It all works fine, but i am trying to give the user some feedback on the console if they launch it from thee.I have used the info described here, and have got some output on the command line, but when the application finishes it does not drop back to the command prompt unless you hit enter it just sits there waiting.

View 2 RepliesI'm deploying a VB.Net app (VS 2010 Pro) that requiers the user click a command button to open IE to a financial WEB site and download informaion from the site. The app works fine in every detail when installed on the development computer. But, on the target computer when the command button is clicked an unhandled exception occurs which says: System.IO. FileNotFoundException:File Not found.My code behind the button is Shell("C:Program Files (x86)Internet Exploreriexplore.exe www,fidelity.com",AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
This works fine on the development computer. Do I need a way to code this as a relative path? If so,can you tell me how this is done?Throughout the app I have written relative paths to needed files using paths like (Open(Environment. GEtFolderPath (Environment. SpecialFoldder.Desktop) + "File Name). They all work fine when deployed.
I am working on an application and I want the user to be able to enter commands into a textbox, and when they press enter, the command is printed in a rich text box, executed, and the output is printed. For instance: the user types move{file1}, {location} into the text box and this happens:
>command: move{file1}, {location}
>$ moving file1 to location
>job completed
How would I write lines to the rtb and execute commands when the enter key is pressed?
This works, partly.
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles command.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Return) Then
RichTextBox2.Text = Environment.NewLine + command.Text
End If
End Sub
it erases everything in the textbox before adding the line... I would also like to be able to make a database of commands, maybe a .dll or something, so that when the user types in something, it checks that database to see if the command exists, if it does it executes, if not, error.
Hey Overflow, I have an application which serves as a user interface for a spartan/command line program.
I have the program running on a separate process, and my application monitors it to see if it is responding and how mush CPU it is utilising.
Now I have a list of files in my program (listbox) which are to be sent to the application, which happens fine. But I want to be able to read text from the com-line so as to determine when the first file has been processed.
Com-line says one of "selecting settings", "unsupported format" and "cannot be fixed". What I want to be able to do is when it says one of these three things, remove item(0) in listbox1.
I thought of programming an event which handles com_exe.print or something or other, if possible.
I need to stop services on three different servers then reboot them, then check if services are up and running.
View 2 RepliesI have created a button in a UserControl. I have added that button to a WindowsForm in another app and added a buttonclick event to the code. When running (debugging) the app and clicking on the button; nothing happens. It doesn't act like a button at all.

View 1 RepliesI am using the following code to run defrag and to analyze if the C: drive requires defragmentation:
Dim analyze As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:WindowsSystem32defrag.exe", "C: /a /h /u /v")
This process runs through analyzing, runs it in normal mode & prints the progress to the command window.
My problem is that as soon as the process is complete the command window closes. I need it to stay open so that I can read the results.

View 1 RepliesI have a button, and when I click that button, I want it to close the current form, and then open the new form.Here's the code I have so far:
Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click
Me.Close
Form1.Show
It closes the current form, and then Form1 only shows for about a quarter of a second. (Appears then disappears really quickly). At least I think that's what it's doing.
I have two windows forms,say frm1 and frm2. I have to open frm2 from frm1 and frm1 from frm2.when one form opens other hide. But the the problem is that everytime when i open the form new object of the form is created which increase the memory usage of the application.What should be the efficient way to switch from one window form to another in vb.net.
View 2 RepliesI'm making an equation program and I want to have a main menu where the user can select an equation and then when one of the buttons is clicked, it closes the "selection" form and opens the appropriate form.

View 2 RepliesI am making a multi form application in VB 08 and need to program a back button (just like a back button in a browser). The code I wrote loops the back function. For example If I start at from 1 and go to 2 and then 3, I need the button to take me from 3 to 2 and then to 1, but my code takes me from 3 to 2 to 3 because it thinks form 3 was the last form before 2.
