I am trying to make the program close if the -1 string is sent with the program. See my installer allows for me to run certain programs before it actually installs, but it doesn't shut down copies of the program itself. So I have a next startup instance set to shut the program down if the -1 is received. But if the program is not running it starts up instead. This is not desired. form1.close doesn't work. e.cancel = true doesn't work, etc etc. What can I do to make the program not start during this instance.
I'm currently in the process of building a text editor type program, and have run into a brick wall. I haven't done VB in years, so I may just need a little reminder on some things. I have coded everything so far as far as opening files, saving them, changing fonts, colors, etc. However, I'm looking to add a Close button to my menu strip that will just close the currently opened file, and not the entire program, while also ask the user if he/she would like to save before closing the file, and then if they select yes, it will show the save dialog, and if not, it will go ahead and close the currently opened item.

I need it to be able to close the program it's updating before running the new setup, but I do not want to use Process.Kill() because that could cause data loss.

View 2 RepliesI would like to be able to close a running program (service) from another program.I know I can use...
Process.Start("C:XxxYyyProg.exe")
to start program: - Prog.exe

But is there any way to also stop (close) Prog.exe from within another program ? The same one that started it for example...PS I should mention that in this case, Prog.exe is a third party program which I can't alter. It does have an Exit option from a right click.

View 6 RepliesI have a form with a listbox. I have controls on the form that can add items to the listbox with the click of a button. I already have the save file, open file dialogs working properly but I want to add something else that works with them. Lets say I open a file and the listbox adds all the strings from the file. Now, lets say I add something to the listbox and instead of saving the file, I just close the whole form. How do I make my program ask if i want to save the changes to the file when it is about to be closed? (I only want it to ask that IF there are changes to the file).

So I obviously dont want my users to close the program but I want to be able to close it myself , I know how to password protect it but all I need is a code for a button to enable the close button.
I have a program. Every now and then (every 1-2 hours) i would like this program to run, do its stuff, and then close. I don't want it running all the time, just for a minute or two before closing. Is there some kind of windows thing that will tell my program to run or must i make a 2nd program to do this for me? (If i have to make another program, then how can I keep it completely invisible?)

But, when I try it, the program exits! I don't want it, I just want to close the form, not the app.
I tried the 'Form1.Hide()' too, but it doesn't sound good to me. There is other approach?

View 1 RepliesI am using the MsgBox Function as a help on my program to notify users of unusable entries in my program. After the MsgBox pops up, and the user clicks on either 'OK' or 'Cancel', the program need to clear the box that the bad data was entered in, and continue with the program. What I am trying to do I guess is keep the program from returning unusable values by informing the user of entries that will return such values. But, where I am running into a problem is in when I click on OK or Cancel, the program continues as if nothing was called as a result of the MsgBox info being thrown.
Here is the code I have so far, mind you that I have used several of the other MsgBox codes to no avail.
I think what I need to do is have a line of code that calls my "textbox.clear" if certain criteria are met. but when I tried this, the program did not return to my GUI, it simply ran with a value of "0" in the "textbox.text" that the clear was called on.
In my program I got multiple spots where I open a Connection to an Oracle database, read some lines via a stored procedure which returns me a cursor, put them in an IDataReader, close the connection and go on.
Now everything works fine till the point of closing the connection. I've watched the connections opened to the database via TOAD for Oracle and I figured out, that the database seems to keep an connection opened after I said m_Connection.Close and m_Connection.Dispose.
I use Oracle.DataAccess and get an error after a short time, that there are to many connections. I debuged my session and made sure, that vb performs the close() command and it does it, but the database not.

I'm working on a punch-card type program and I'm designing a password change form, so that employees can set their password whenever they first log in, or whenever their password is reset.
The Program works like this: (Code to follow)
1) User starts application
2) User types in their username, and then enters their username as the password. (first time the program is ever run.)
3) The password change form appears, and they enter their desired password in two text fields and clicks OK.
4) The punch-clock form appears, and they begin using it like normal.
The problem I'm having is that at the end of step 3, the program updates an access database, changing the row with the correct username to have the new password. The password in the database changes, like it should, but when the application is exited and then started again, it acts as if the username is still the password.
Below is the code I'm using for the Login Form, the bottom section is a user class that I built just to hold username and password for the logged in user.
Public Class LoginForm
'Creates a new object to house the logged in user's information
Public persona As New User
