I created a VB.NET Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio 2008. When I run my program from the command-line, I get no output (only the next prompt).
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Debug.Write("Foo")
Debug.Flush()
[code]....
EDIT: Can a program have a form and a console?
EDIT2: However, the output appears on the next command-line prompt. Can a Winforms application tell the command-line to wait until it's finished instead of immediately returning?
I understand that I cannot use the System.Console to output information from a Windows Forms application because the standard input, output, and error streams are not run through the console in winforms apps. But I can't seem to find any documentation on where the standard input, output, and error streams are being directed to! Basically, I have a winforms app that accepts command line arguments and can be run in batch mode, however, I just want to direct some feedback to the user based on whatever method they're accessing the program. The app is used to redirect a client-server application from one server to another. In some instances, the user does it by hand (with a mouse), and other times they're doing it in batch mode (using SAS, command shell, VBScript, etc...). In those instances, I'd prefer NOT to use MessageBoxes because it will kill any processing they're doing.
i've been doing research about this for a while now. I'm pretty sure it's correct, but the console.writeline is not providing any messeges when program is executed. Im using Visual Studio 2010 pro. Is there anything im missing or doing wrong? Here's what i have:
I was wondering if it was possible, in a console application, to write characters like "℃" using .NET? When I try to write this character, the console outputs a question mark.
I've written a menu for a console application. It has three items. I want to keep the menu displaying until I press 3. How can I do that. My code below -
Sub Main() Dim intInput As Integer = 0 Console.WriteLine("") Console.WriteLine("Main Menu")
Is there any way to print a message to the console from an Excel vba macro? I have a small VB .NET console application that calls an excel macro, and I'd like the error messages from the macro code to print to the console.
Is it possible to use Console.Write to place a single character at the very bottom right of a typical 80x25 console, without having the console scroll the row up? This is the code that I'm using...
Imports System Console.SetCursorPosition(Console.WindowWidth-1, Console.WindowHeight-1) Console.Write("x")
This is not working like I would like it to. Any suggestions or alternatives? I've tested that SetCursorPosition does use a 0,0 coordinate system, already. Using the WindowWidth-1/Height-1 should put me in the lower right corner of the screen... which it does, but then Console.Write is putting the "x" down and continuing on to the next line.
I am running some commands on computers and I would like to have them output a seperate text file if the command cannot run.
For Each strUserName As String In strLines Dim ReplaceCommand As String = sCommand.Replace("*", strUserName).Replace("$$$", saveFileDialog3.FileName & ".txt").Replace("###", exeSearch)
[code]....
Am I on the right track? I am getting an output to a text file but its just one line ans always says PASS.
I'm working on a console application that needs to write a line until a certain value is met and than do the same backwards until another value is met.
The line need to be 51 spaces wide, start and end with the pipe ("|") character and have a cross ("X") character in between.
i am working on lab asssignment i need to know what im missing ? i am trying to Write a Visual Basic Console Application which inputs the month number, which i think i have right. also have to output the number of days are in that month which im completely lost on.here is what i have so far:
I build my first Project composed of several forms and it�s working just fine. Id like now to redesign the project as a MDI Application. Once created the parent form, I can create child forms but thats not what I need. What I would need is convert my already designed and working forms to MDI child forms. How can that be done?
i'm working on a Java app wich uses the CMD.i want to control the app completely though a forms application and so i created a invisible CMD console that starts and runs,the only problem i keep getting. is that after startup and further commands send to the CMD window doesnt work. not commands are received.heres my code
the basic functions vb.net Private WithEvents MyProcess As Process
Private Delegate Sub AppendOutputTextDelegate(ByVal text As String)
Private Sub MyProcess_ErrorDataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Diagnostics.DataReceivedEventArgs) Handles MyProcess.ErrorDataReceived
AppendOutputText(vbCrLf & "Error: " & e.Data)
End Sub
Private Sub MyProcess_OutputDataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Diagnostics.DataReceivedEventArgs) Handles MyProcess.OutputDataReceived
AppendOutputText(vbCrLf & e.Data)
End Sub Private Sub AppendOutputText(ByVal text As String)
If outputtextbox.InvokeRequired Then
Dim myDelegate As New AppendOutputTextDelegate(AddressOf AppendOutputText)
Me.Invoke(myDelegate, text)
Else
outputtextbox.AppendText(text)
End If
End Sub
the startup that works.
VB.net MyProcess = New Process With MyProcess.StartInfo[code].......
i sometimes replace the textboxx2.text with a custom command like "exit".so when i press the button after entering exit for example nothing happens.but when the app starts it does gets the first 2 commands. so why is it failing at the buttons.
I'm trying to run an app (GacUtil) which is normally run through a console window, directly in my winforms app, but I keep getting the error: "The system cannot find the file specified"
Here is the Dim AppName = "gacutil" Dim BaseOptions = " /i" Dim oStartInfo As New ProcessStartInfo Dim sFull As String Dim sStartPath As String = Path.GetDirectoryName(TextBox1.Text) [Code] .....
In this case, the DLL is in C:, and 'GacUtil' has been added to the Environment path variable. I can put a break point on the next to the last last line, copy and past the output of the 'sfull' variable into a command prompt and it will run perfectly. (I've tried adding oStartInfo.UseShellExecute=False, removing the whole workingDirectory property line and just changing sFull so that it has the Startpath also, but I still get the error)
However, when I try it in the Winforms app I'm creating, I get the error. Process.Start(oStartInfo)
Could i Create a windows forms application that would have a console application form I'll use an example: say i was creating an application that would need some text written in the command line. i create the windows forms application because i want a GUI for the start page. then when i click a button, it should open a console program that is inside the windows forms application (not a seperate project)
I've got an old dynamic link library that I'm using which was created primarily to be used in a console environment. As such it generally indicates what it's doing through Console.Write(). I've recently created a windows form which is using some of the functions from this library. I'd like to be able to grab the console output and place it in a textbox on my windows form so that the user can have some indication of the progress (right now it just says "Working").
I am trying to write code with multiple forms. The first screen is splash screen then is supposed to close and have a calculations screen. In the timer of the splash screen I wrote the following code
Option Explicit On Option Strict On Public Class uiHinsbrookSplashScreen
[code]....
This opens the second screen, but when I Hit Exit on the Second Screen The first screen is still open. What do I need to do next?
I am working in VB. I have a fairly long and detailed explanation that I'll avoid posting but what I'm looking to find is quite simple. I'm looking for information how the command line executable LAME.EXE (the Mp3 encoder) returns information to the host program/form.
I am a VB novice and a novice to programming in general and am looking to learn more about as much as I can on the whole but basically I have a Windows form that gathers all the necessary information as a front-end:
The input .wav file path The output .mp3 file destination
The encode settings (bitrate, frequency, etc)This information is pooled in to a string like this: lame.exe -v -b 112 input.wav output.mp3 or any variant on the settings selected in the GUI which is then in turn used to execute LAME.EXE with the set of parameters in a command line console...That's all well and good and it is quite functional but what I'm looking to do is to 'hide' the console in itself and have the encoder feed back its progress, say as a percentage inside the GUI.
The problem is that it doesn't appear that LAME in itself has this kind of functionality explicitly built in. I know it's possible however, as every single front end in the world has this functionality.I have tried a few ways of doing this with avoiding the issue of not being able to find the functionality within the codec. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place entirely or I'm not thinking correctly 'outside the box' as it were.
what I'm looking for is to use a command like this within the script itself: lame(v,b,112,"C:input.wav","c:output.mp3") or even pass the parameters obtained from the GUI a string formatted dynamically on the fly itself.I expect of course that this kind of functionality won't be available anywhere at all, what I'm really looking for as a workaround that reports the actions/progress/console output of the executable back in to the VB program somehow.
I have a console application that I am running through a process in a windows form application. I am redirecting the input and output to the form application. In the console app, I am using the following code to check for the escape key which will close the program.
Private Sub StreamInput(ByVal Text As String) m_Process.StandardInput.WriteLine(Text) m_Process.StandardInput.Flush() End Sub Private Function ConvertFromOem(ByVal Text As String) As String Return _
I have a problem Hi i readtext vb.net, but I can also use VB6 does not work any error in writetext stops but does not write ..
WriteText Code: Public Sub WriteText(ByVal lngAddress As Integer, ByVal strText As String) Dim hWnd As Object, processHandle As Object, processId As Integer
I'm an absolute newb to vb (less than a week) and I'm trying to convert a console app to a windows form.In the console app, I have this code
Public Sub rconPacketReceive(ByVal fromserver As Boolean, ByVal isresponse As Boolean, ByVal seq As Integer, ByVal words() As String) Handles rconObj.packetIncoming Dim w As String = Nothing For Each word In words
[code]....
What I want is to have this Console.WriteLine displayed in a text box on the form but don't have any idea on how to do it.
I came accross the code below in a book. I prefer displaying my data in Winforms instead of the Console which the boook uses but I have little understanding of console codes and how to convert them to Winforms.[code]....
Not sure if there is a better way to do this but this isn't working. Just trying to run a batch command "query session" and put it into a text file using "> sessions.txt". When I run this command in a command prompt it works fine and spits the output to the text. I've tried just making the batch file in the same folder and executing that with Process.Start, still empty text file. Tried modifying the loop and no go also
Imports System.IO Public Class Form1 Dim counter As Integer = 0
