View 4 RepliesI am currently working on a launcher, and it must consist of the following:
- one main routine being called, NO WINDOW may be created at any times after or before this main routine.
- one small form called by the main routine if a certain command was sent through the Command (shortcut).
At this point I use a Windows Form, but it seems a little useless to create and initialize a form if you won't even use it. Any way to make a routine run when my program starts without showing any window? But still make it possible to show that small dialog?
I did this at first but it seems a bit dangerous:
'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer 'It can be modified using the Windows Form Designer. 'Do not modify it using the code editor.
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> _
Private Sub InitializeComponent()
Main()
End Sub
Sub Main()
'Code to run here
End Sub
It starts another program (process) which has a GUI, so I do not want to display a console window.
I want to make that program starts when computer starts. I have no idea how to do that.
View 4 RepliesI created a program that has serval labels on a form and a listview object. It has a button that when clicked reads a textfile and loads up values in the listview object. I then can click and drag text from the listview box to any label on the form and then the program removes the value from the listview box. Now, my question is how can I instruct VB to save these values in the text property of the labels so that the next time the program is loaded the labels will contain the values loaded during the last run time session?

View 2 RepliesSo I have a program that only has one form in it, this form is just an "About" window that appears when a specific context menu item is clicked from the system tray icon (NotifyIcon) that is on the form.
All I want to do is make it so that when the program is launched, the form is not displayed at all and just the system tray icon appears.
I have accomplished this by doing the following but just wondered if there is a better/easier way?
1. Set the Opacity of the form to 0 in the designer
2. Set the ShowInTaskBar property to False in the designer
3. Use a timer that is started in the form Load event to call Me.Hide after 1 second
Then when I want to show the form I just set the opacity back to full and call Me.Show
Is it possible to make tooltips invisible in VB.NET 2005? The reason that I ask is because I need to store some data about each node in a treeview control, but I am already using the node's tag value to store an object that represents a "SuperToolTip" which is a control in DevComponent's DotNetBar utility. So I do not want the tooltip to be visible, since I am already displaying a more feature rich tooltip for each node. I guess I could store an array in the tag, that would contain the object that I needed, as well as the string info I need for the node as well.

View 3 RepliesI put some group boxes on a user interface and now labels and pictures that are set to visible can't be seen even when the group box is set to visible = false. (I have the group box and the pictures and labels in the same place on the form and was planning on using buttons to make them visible and invisible but the pictures and labels stay invisible no matter what while being in the same place as the group box.)
Does anyone know why group boxes do a sound job of making things invisible and how to correct it?
