View 3 RepliesI am wanting to create a simple program that monitors what programs are opening and if necessary close one or two. I would also like to know if it is possible to get the window title (using a simple function/sub) and check with a stored list of programs,
whether that particular program is allowed to be open and if so before the program can be opened a password dialog will appear asking the user to enter the defined password in order to continue opening the program. Is this possible? Also should the password entered not match up, the program/process will not be allowed to open and will be closed/cancelled.
some code or point to the part of the microsoft site that has information on getting window titles and how to close current programs open etc
is there a way to create a program that installs multiple software, per say a program with multiple software packages/installs that you can install. kinda like a tool kit.
View 5 RepliesI am sure this can be done, as Visual Studio is basically built this way. What I want to do is simply make a class that my other workmates can use. But rather than have it in a code form, I want to build it (partially), and then my workmate can add it into their programs (sort of, like the add reference for the .NET stuff).

View 6 RepliesI'm sure there is an easy answer to this, and it may be "no," but is it possible to create an install file in VB Express 2010 and have that file deploy additional .exe files?
I developed a windows form program that calls fortan routines (in seperate .exe files) for different purposes. I would like to create an install file that deploys not only my VB program, but all of the supporting code.
Is this possible with VB Express 2010? I tried to search for threads about this, but didn't find any that explicitily answered this question.

View 3 RepliesIn class i saved my program in with load of other test programs for the same assignment and got everything mixed up i finally figured out what was what and loaded the program in Visual Basic. Now my program doesn't recognize one of my forms when i try to access the design view of it. I hit run for the hell of it and the program runs with errors of course but the form1 "the missing one" shows up with all the buttons etc and i can use it.

I have a finished project and I was wondering what software was available to make this into an exe with a nice profesional looking installer? I am using express.I have already had a look into cyberinstaller suite, it is ok, but generaly it is turning my half mb project into a 4.8mb project.
View 12 RepliesI'm working on a program, just to learn a bit more about programming. The program's function (if I manage to do it) will be to accept drag/drop files and create a link to them within the program itself. For example: I drag and drop the .exe to a game I have installed; the program then creates a shortcut within itself; the shortcut is displayed in the program with the name/icon; if I click the icon within the program, game launches.I've already manually coded something to this same effect, but it doesn't automatically add new shortcuts/buttons so I have to keep going back in and reprogramming another button every time I install a new game/program. I'd like to be able to just drag/drop and be ready to go. Any ideas on how I can get this function? I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.

I was able to create programs way back year 2006 specifically using VB6, however, the line of work that I've been to and currently in to is not related to programming at all. I was not able to constantly hone my programming skills and I wasn't able to adjust in today's latest updates. Now, step by step I am trying to rebuild myself. I would like to ask the guidance of all those experienced members here, if you may.

This question may be vague but I was wondering if anyone has ever implemented an application that basically creates a UI to list and monitor all running applications you have running. This applies to many developers who might have multiple programs running continuously and it would be great to have an app that monitors these programs..or does anyone think it is just unnecessary.

I have a program in vb express 2008 which I would like to publish in a little more professional manner than provided in the standard vb express package. I would at least like to include a "Terms of Use" document the user must agree to before installing the program. I have dovnloaded and installed web developer, c# and vs 2008. Do any of these include a professional installer? If not are there any free installer packages available? I am 72 and live on a limited budget so I cannot aford an expensive package for one program.
