Forms :: Code To Halt Windows Shut Down Or Log Off?
Sep 16, 2009
I work in IT in a firm that are rolling out a time management application on all PCs. In order to clock in/out a user must log into the application and click clock in/out. I want to build a very simple application that when a user goes to shut down or log out of their PC, a windows form will pop up asking them if they they want to clock out of the time management software (a reminder if they have forgotten to clock out and are heading home). On the form there will be two buttons, 'yes' and 'no'. If they click yes, the system shutdown or log off will be halted and the time management software application will open automatically. If they click no, the shutdown/logoff will proceed as normal. I just need to know what i need to do to get the system shutdown/logoff to stop until either button is pressed and to stop totally if the 'yes' button is pressed. I am able to get the Time Management software to run on a button click but just not able to halt the shutdown or logoff?

As a part of a booking system I need to produce for my module, I have to create a login form that connects to a Microsoft Access Database. So far, I've created one that works without error, but it lacks certain functionality I can't wrap my head around.
I have a 'Login table' in my database with three fields: 'Username', 'Password' and 'Manager?', the last of which uses a 'Yes/No' datatype. Currently, the system can check whether or not the details are held in the database, and if so, it will direct the user to a different form.However, is it possible to have it so that the system can check what the database record has for the 'Manager?' field, and to direct the user to a different form accordingly?

I have written a little helper app that mostly does various text operations on a paragraph of text. I am able to select a block of text from the Code Window and drop it onto my VB.NET apps TextBox and complete the text operation. However I am unable to drag and drop the altered text back to the VB Code window Via the DoDragDrop method.
If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
Dim d As New DataObject
d.SetText(Me.TextBox3.Text)
Me.TextBox3.DoDragDrop(d, DragDropEffects.Move)
End If

I am trying to figure out how to generate code from user input. In Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic.My script always begins with:function Init (Quest)Then from here a user would input a quest name, type and zone in a interface using windows forms.[code]I would also like to have these available on the UI but wont generate unless a user checks a box to add them or there is a box already for them but wont step into the code unless the user enters something into the box.Is there anyone that can explain how I would go about doing this. Or maybe some kind of visual studio plugin that will help me out.

I am writing a program with a loading bar. I also have a label that says what the program is currently loading (Eg. 'Generating Numbers...', 'Determining Winners...').
It all works fine, but the label sometimes doesn't change or doesn't even appear because the program is too busy processing all the other stuff. I hope that makes sense...
Is there any way to centralize processing on the label and progress bar at times?

I'm currently trapping all unhandled exceptions in my VB.net app to apply logging,but I still want to be able to halt and/or stop app.while displaying a dialogbox similar to the builtin unhandled exception dialogbox, where app. seems to stop to a grind until user presses continue.I think I perhaps need to start the dialogbox as part of another application, but I don't know if I'm able to halt the erroneous app.

I want to create a custom form (in visual basic .NET) that will stop other process responsiveness until the form is acknowledged. It would be a nice bonus if I can add a beep when trying to access the main program UI while this form is displayed as well (like how a messagebox does).

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.

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?
