well, I must say I am a very beginner but want to get better, that is why I joined this forum.Anyway, I made a form with a button that opens a new form and a hidden cmd window (it closes it self automaticly).on the new form I have a label that says if "the program is running". I want that label to change to "Done!" when the process does not exist anymore.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to write a Windows Script that will allow me to monitor the following: That 2 x seperate but specific processes within Component Services "Running Processes" list are currently running and have not reset within the past hour. If I already know the PID, then I can retrieve the CreationDate (I assume which I can use to check for restarts? or is this the actual process creation/installation date) for each specific process, however if a restart occurs the PID will change and my script needs to know what the new PID is without me telling it!

I have a "Start" button and a label. The label.text during form load contains "Ready...". Now what I want, after I click the "Start" button, the button will become grey and the label.text contains "Processing...". I managed to make the button become grey, but I couldn't change the label.text from "Ready..." to "Processing..." and back to "Ready..." after completion of the task.
Here is the code:
Public Class Form1
Dim i As Integer
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[Code] .....
*In actual, the do until loop contains more than just 2 lines.
What happened when I click the "Start" button were, it became grey, it filled up the texbox.text with number from 0 to 1000 and after it finished processing then the label.text change to "Processing..." where it supposed to appear before the loop start.

I am almost sure this isn't possible but it's worth an ask... We have a .NET DLL that is being called from our VB6 application. The VB6 app runs in a 32 bit process so the DLL runs in the same process (it's compiled as any cpu) Therefore when I do my ODBC Database access in the DLL is will only use a 32 bit driver, as this is what it thinks it needs (for the record the DB is Pervasive PSQL)
My problem arises when the application runs on a 64 bit machine (when only the 64 bit ODBC driver is installed) as it can't find a suitable driver to use. So is there a way to force the .NET DLL to run in a 64 bit process (compiling as x64 doesn't work because register for COM Interop is not allowed) This isn't necessarily an issue at this point in time because I can install the 32 bit driver, but at some point in the future I can imagine that 32 bit driver may not be available so I will be up the proverbial creek.
how to run a process as a child process?
I'm using this code to launch a process:
Dim appdirect As String = Application.ExecutablePath
appdirect = appdirect.Replace("SIS.EXE", "")
appdirect = appdirect.Replace("SIS.exe", "")

It runs the process but I need it to run as a child process of SIS.exe.

Main Form is my startup form and then 2 buttons on the form button 1 open form2 and main form hidden. button 2 closes and in the form 2 I have a textbox where I write some text and a button to save the text in a txt. File Once I've saved my text in txt. file so I click on a button that closes form2 and open main form My problem is that the button on the main form I should like to have button text is from the txt. file. And I do not know how I reload the button or form.
if I close the program and start it again, then my button text has change to what i write in txt file..
Just a quick question, using Visual Basic 2008, is there a way to change the text of a forms buttons and other objects during runtime so that the text sticks no matter if the form is closed and reopened or not? I can get the text to change, but after closing the window and reopening, the text resets. Is this possible?
View 2 RepliesI got a Sub which processes a code, and then it does whatever the code said. Example.
Code = "Black" -> Turns screen black.
Code = "OFF" -> Turns off the PC.
And so on.
If I call that Sub from Immediate console, It works perfectly. But if that Sub is called from an event, It does nothing, and usually throws an Exception. I read somewhere that I can fix this by using Threads, but I don't understand how that can help and make it work.

View 2 RepliesHow can the button text of an OpenFileDialog be changed in the cleanest possible manner?
I've looked around and so far none of the solultions are all that simple and all require some fiddling with handles and things.
I am using a for each loop and each time the loop executes, the text of the label has to be changed.. But for some reason, it only changes the text of the label during the last execution of the loop...

Is there a way to change label text at run time?. I don't want to annoy users with popup. So planning to display error in a label if its text could be changed.
So far I have included a Main Form which has a label lblErrorFeedback which is not visible initially and I have done this but does not work.
lblErrorFeedback.Visible = True
lblErrorFeedback.Text = ""
lblErrorFeedback.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight
lblErrorFeedback.Text = "Error Occured"
Is there a better way to show the error with out popups?

View 5 RepliesI am trying to conditionally change the colour of some text in a textbox, for example: If n=> 10 then txtbox1.forecolor = red
This doesn't appear to work, does the textbox need to be a 'rich textbox'
Basically I want to have a textbox (TextBox1) that when you enter an area code (ex. 512) that it will return the state (TEXAS) in the label (Label1). One way that I had been trying before was to reference from a text file the array that I am using which happens to be in the format of 512, TEXAS.
I would like to use this for multiple area codes and have been unsuccessful in getting it to work. Any help with that? Any ideas how I could get it to work?

I hope the title gives a good description, i have read the forum posting tips at the top. Ive just joined the community and nice to meet you all. Anyways, I am trying to create a vb.net application for which it will check if a process is running in task manager, and if this process or processes are running to end a different process. Let me give you an example,
If processA, ProcessB is running then END ProcessC. If however ProcessA, and ProcessB are not running then ProcessC can stay active. I have started the project and am able to kill the processes etc. This is shown below.

View 2 RepliesI just need to check whether a process is running. But I have absolutely no idea where to start!
View 10 RepliesI need to create a program that checks to see if a certain process is running, but I need to check it at a predetermined interval, such as every 10 seconds. I also need it to relaunch the program if it disappears/crashes. I have no idea where to start, I'm assuming I'd have to use a timer and write a method that checks for this process and then another method to simply launch it.
