Calling REGEDIT From VB?

Jul 22, 2009

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].....

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.

VS 2005 - How To Delete Registry Keys Instead Using Regedit

Oct 21, 2011

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.

Append - Appending Adding Annd Reading Regedit With Custom Buttons

Jun 9, 2011

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?

C# - Write Binary Data "as Is" To Registry (visible Binary Data As String From Regedit Only)

Feb 23, 2011

I have been googling this and have not come along a working solution for an entire day. I don't know anything about binary data types (as I've never knowingly used them) and I'm trying to write a binary value that I see in the registry, to the registry. Now, all I see is the following [shown below]... and if I try to pass that as a string to the RegSetValueEx in the WinAPI and of course it errors out...

I do not know what 'numbers' I need to pass into the lpData As Any, argument of RegSetValueEx (i tried a bit array) in order for it to come out as the following [shown below] in the regedit. I really have no idea, and my tests to place random numbers in the bit array just produce corresponding random "figures" as visible in regedit that I do not understand how to 'tie' them together logically. here is the culprit!

Calling .NET Dll From C++?

Aug 3, 2010

I have a C++ application exe that uses a C++ dll. I don't have the source of this C++ application and cannot rebuild it. But I know that it uses the traditional LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress to access individual functions in the dll.For some reasons, I want to replace the C++ dll with a VB.NET dll. The dll is not and ActiveX and is therefore not registered.I think I cannot use a class but a module since the C++ exe application does not expect any class in the dll. In all my attempts, I could not have the inner functions of the VB.NET to be called by the C++ exe.How should I write the VB.NET dll?

Calling C++ DLL From VB?

Sep 1, 2010

I'm not sure whether this is a VB forum question or a C++ question, but I'll try here first. I have an API library written in C++ (including source) which compiles to several DLLs. I want to call the functions in the library from VB but I can't get the parameter passing right.

[Code]...

The above example runs but returns nothing. If I change DeviceName to ByRef, I get protected memory errors.

The full library and documentation is available on the internet if anyone would like to download it and I've successfully compiled it with VS2010.

Calling VB DLL From C++?

Jun 21, 2012

I have followed instructions on Best way to use a VB.NET class library from a C++ DLL? but being new to VB I don't know if I've got the VB part right let alone the C++. here I'll correct the code below for posterity's sake!

Here they are: VB first; the project is a Class Library, all settings default except that "Register for COM interop" is switched on in the project properties.

Public Class Class1
Public Sub New()
'do stuff

[Code]....

is the VB correct? Do I need to add anything like an interface to it? Assuming I want to call it over COM not C++/CLI, how do I do that. (This seems like the logical choice as the client already calls other stuff over COM; however, I'm not sure where to get the IDispatch pointer from, in my other code it's passed to me by the client). If I went the C++/CLI route, when moving up from toy project to actual implementation, that would mean changing my existing C++ code from "no clr support" to "/clr" - is that likely to break it?

C++ - Tcl Extension Calling A .NET DLL?

Feb 8, 2012

I have a need to create a Tcl extension that calls a managed .NET DLL/Class Library. Currently, the structure of my application is Tcl > DLL Wrapper (C++ CLR) > .NET Class Library (VB.NET), where ">" represents a function call.

My VB.NET DLL just takes a value and returns it back, keeping it simple for now. In the end, this will do some more advanced stuff that makes use of some .NET functionality.

Public Class TestClass
Public Function TestFunction(ByVal param As Integer) As Integer
Return param
End Function
End Class

My Tcl Extension (C++ CLR) creates an object of the type above

int TestCmd(ClientData data, Tcl_Interp *interp, int objc, Tcl_Obj *CONST objv[])
{
// Check the number of arguments

[code].....

If my VB.NET DLL is in the same directory as my extension DLL, the extension crashes when it instantiates a TestClass object. I've noticed if the VB.NET DLL is relocated to C:Tclin, the extension will find it, and TestCmd can be called just fine. The problem is that this will eventually need to be deployed across a number of PCs, and it's preferred not to mingle my application's files with another application's.

The cmd file calls a web service that is used to select specific data. When I run the .cmd file manually (as in clicking on it) it runs correctly an saves the file with the information in the appropriate location. However when i try to do this with the .Net app the file is saved however there is no data in it. Why is it when I physically click this same .cmd file with my mouse it works but not when I call it from my application.

Calling A C DLL Function?

Oct 3, 2011

I have used the PInvoke Signature Toolkit to create VB.NET function definitions for three fairly simple C functions contained in an external DLL. The problem is that two of the parameters are structures so pointers need to be sent and one structure (fileview) is undefined.

OpenFileView(filename, &fileview_ptr)
ReadFileInfo(fileview_ptr, &fileinfo_ptr)

The structure of fileinfo is defined so I can create a structure definition in VB.NET and create an IntPtr to that structure with Marshall.AllocHGlobal. And then I can use Marshall.StructureToPtr to copy the data and do the inverse when the data is returned.

[Code]...

Calling A C Function From A DLL?

Dec 7, 2009

I'm having some problems calling a C function from a DLL. The function is returning -101 which translates as a "bad parameter". The values I am passing have been returned from another, successful function call, so my current assumption is that I've built the structure incorrectly.The function definition is:

int sm_switch_channel_input(struct sm_switch_channel_parms *switchp)
Parameters
*switchp (a structure of the following type):
typedef struct sm_switch_channel_parms {
