I was playing a game recently and saw that they could use args in the shortcut, and I decided to try to impliment this into my application...so far, I got: (runs this sub on load)
Sub startup_args()
If Environment.GetCommandLineArgs.Contains("+game") Then
Dim path As Array = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs
[code]....
just to see what it returns, but the application crashes. I also tried path.tostring(), but that didn't work. When I did:
If Evnironment.GetCommandLineArgs.Contains("+game") Then
Dim path as string = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs.tostring
MsgBox(path)
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.
I have a forms app that contains a few forms. My task is to make it run invisibly when called from the command line with arguments.I have defined a Sub Main in a module and made it the startup item. I have an if/then/else that looks at args.length and if it equals 0 then I load the form and run the app normally. But how do I handle things when args are passed? I still need access to all the functions defined in my main form. Can I load the form invisibly and still "use" it?
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 am writing an application in which a user is doing a file conversion. I have a set of tools that can perform the conversion on the fly via command line, but I'm not entirely sure of how to go about passing the parameters I need to the command line and running them. Can someone point me to the right direction?Would I just create a System.Diagnostics.Process and use that? If so how do I do the line by line command? For instance if I need to issue a cd command to change the directory and then execute a command after that how would I do that?
I am busy with a project converting VS2005/2008 sln files.
I am quite far but have came acroos a problem with my source code.
I have found the files I need to change, I have changed them to the version that I need.
I now need to read the files back into my program and delete the line I have changed as it contains project numbers that are irrelevant. Then I need to save it.
I have got as far where I have searched for lines that begin with 'Project'. I have changed this also so it's now a question of reading the files in, Deleting the line with the 'Project' number and saving them.
I'm creating a GroupBox at runtime and setting its Text property. Usually, the text is only on one line, but sometimes it wraps. The problem is that the controls contained in the GroupBox cover up the GroupBox's text.
What I'd like to do is determine if and when the text wraps. Specifically, I'd like to determine how much extra height the wrapped text takes up as compared to a single line. That way, I can reposition the GroupBox's controls and adjust its height.
Initially, I thought I'd do this by calling the GroupBox's CreateGraphics() method, and using the Graphics to measure the string. Something like this:
[Code]...
The problem is that the size generated by g.MeasureString(text, grp.Font) doesn't seem to be accurate. I determined that it wasn't accurate by putting enough of a single character to cause a wrap, then measuring the resulting string.
For example, it took 86 pipes (|) to until a wrap happened. When I measured that string, its width was ~253. And it took 16 capital W's to force a wrap - its string had a width of ~164. These were the two extremes that I tested. My GroupBox's width was 189. (a's took 29 and had a width of ~180, O's took 22 and had a width of ~189)
I have a basic three form application. It doesn't seem to close after navigating through forms. If I were to open the application, and the main form is displayed. If I press the X button, the application closes fine(Goes from processes) If I were to open the application, and then navigate from the main form to another form using me.hide & form1.show, and press the red X on Form1, the application again, closes fine.
.NET developing and have a simple question, i've been stuck on this for a while and searched many forums first with no solution so i'm posting myself. In VB for excel i've used Screenupdating=false to disable the screen updating however now i'm creating a visual studio 2010 windows forms application and its not showing up as a property. Here's the code i've tried.
I have the requirement to create an application that has multiple front ends developed using Windows Forms, WPF, ASP and Compact Framework Mobile Forms.I would like to be able to create a series of obejct representing the business logic and have this logic accessible from the various front ends available. My first thought was to use remoting as I'd like to be able to pass the business objects back and forth between client and server but the compact framework doesn't support remoting and also transferring a full framework business object to a compact framework business object doesn't seem possible.My next thought was to use web services but again the passing of business objects seems to be very hard to accomplish. Without doing this I would have to create individual web methods for each business operation.
Finally my next option is to use sockets and write the whole client/server logic within some classes and expose them to the UI/Business layer. My only problem with this is it is not scaleable should the number of clients increase dramatically whereas using remoting or web services I can host the solution via ASP.Net.Does anybody have an ideas on the best way forward for this or even have any input on how they would write an application that required a windows form, wpf, asp website and mobile device GUI all of which want to use the same business logic?
I would like to know if its possible to start up a second windows forms inside the parent form. Ex: A button is pressed and a new form is showed. I would like to keep that new form inside the parent form, and have it not be able to go outside the parent form.
I am writing a program for my A-level coursework But for some reason I got this build error this has never occurred to me before, I have no idea why I can't use string for the name of my form.
a program and i need to have a button put a file into a folder, i know how the button works i already have it doing some other stuff. i just don't know the code to copy and past it to a folder.
When I add a new, empty form to my VB.NET VS9 project, the linenherits System.Windows.Forms.Formis missing.What am I doing wrong here?I thought it would be added automatically.I experienced that some thing get weird if this line is not there (Form_Load is not firing, I think).
My question is, am I able to share a business logic layer seemlessly between the two presentation layers or is there anything I need to watch out for. I'd really like to not have any duplication of business logic, so any advice would be more than welcome.

I have a progress bar on a Windows Form which displays the number of records as they are retrieved from the database.The problem I'm having is that the entire Form.Load() method seems to run prior to the form being displayed, which means all my code updating the progress bar is gone to waste.
I have a panel with some controls in it (several textboxes, a slider, 2 buttons, and a small groupbox).. When I click a button, I want all of the textboxes within the panel to be readonly... So I have this code: [code] When I run it though, I get the following error:Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.Button' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.TextBox'.If I remove a button, it moves on to give me the same error but for a label..

In my VS-2008 (VB.Net) application, I am using a background worker to make my main form more responsive. In case of any error (in DoWork event) I m displaying the error on another form. In this case main form can�t be a parent of error form so if main form is clicked, error form go in the background (behind main form). I want to restrict the user to interact with the main form while error form is appearing. Is there any way to associate these two forms such that error form always appear in front of main form.
Is it possible to use command line event args with a windows form application with the application framework enabled? if so Please could you direct me to a tutorial that I can follow.
I cannot run Windows Services , I am getting error message "Cannot start Service from the command line or a debugger. A Windows Services must first be installed (using Installutil.exe) and then started with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services administrative tool or the NET START Command."
I have run the InstalluTil.exe and open the Visual Studio 2005 command prompt and run below command but still not working. InstallUtil " D:\Khwathie\MyNewService\MyServ\MyServ\bin\Debug\MyService.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.
