I deal with a lot of com class code. So, my code generally doesn't have a UI.I can't count on the calling code UI to handle the progress nor would they know the progress of my routines. I'm used to a language that allows you to call a progress window from any code. I've been banging my head up against a wall trying to find a way to create a simple Custom Control that I can simply call from my code that opens a modal window to report the progress.No matter what, I see a need for the backgroundworker in my code. But if the backgroundworker is declared in my code, I can't expose the doWork in the doworker sub.

Basically on my case 3 I want it to save everything that's been on the console window. It should save it to here: Dim fileToSave As String = "AllDataOnConsoleWindow.txt"
Question: I have a console program that shouldn't be seen.(It resets IIS and deletes temp files.)Right now I can manage to hide the window right after start like this:

I have a VB .NET 2003 application that runs on the console. When the application runs, the console window pops up which isn't always necessary. Does anyone know of a way to prevent that console window from popping up, but still continue to run? I was thinking of something along these lines:

Part of my application deals with creating a number of pivot tables. I pull data from a local database, and store it in a datatable. From here, the data is processed and eventually a pivot table is returned. On small data sets it works well, but on some larger one there is a few seconds of "nothing" until the table is shown.
After a few iterations of trying things to display some form of progress I have ended up with a form with nothing but a progress bar running on it. I spawn a new thread, and run it. It works exactly like I hoped. However, when I call the thread.abort() method to terminate the thread, occasionally, the main form will minimize. I tired having me.show() aftre the .abort() to bring the form into view again, but it appears not to have helped.
Now I understand that it is better practice to have worker background threads, and the main thread for UI, but is there a simple way of ensuring that the main form does not close?

The console window output is a Console.Writeline("myapp.exe is working, please wait...") and Console.Write(percentComplete & "%"). I would like to increment the percentComplete. Is it possible to do that without clearing the consol window and writing these two lines again?

View 7 RepliesI am trying to track the progress of a meter in a flash window and click when it reaches a certain point. I am currently using getpixel() to "watch" a single pixel and when it changes to green, perfrom a click. Problem is i have to "watch a pixel" about 20 pixels left of the intended target and then click. Reason, when the program has realized the pixel is green, it clicks, but this has not been as accurate as needed. Sometimes it clicks to soon and sometimes it clicks to late.
Before you suggest using DIBS, i didn't use it because i am loading a 1x1 screenshot and watching that pixel in a loop. I figured since i was continously loading a new bitmap via getpixel that dibs would not be any quicker. The way i read dibs is that if i was loading a bunch of pixels it would be faster because it goes ahead and loads into an array.Is there another way to monitor a meter in a flash window?

View 4 RepliesI've got an old dynamic link library that I'm using which was created primarily to be used in a console environment. As such it generally indicates what it's doing through Console.Write(). I've recently created a windows form which is using some of the functions from this library. I'd like to be able to grab the console output and place it in a textbox on my windows form so that the user can have some indication of the progress (right now it just says "Working").

View 11 RepliesI have both the VB and C# versions of Visual Studio 2008 Express. When I run a console application in either version, instead of the console opening in an old DOS style command window like it does in VS 2005, it actually blacks out both monitors attached to my computer and treats the entire screen real estate as the console.Anyone know how to get the app to run in a small command-type window when I run it? It's like the console is running Full Screen. If I set a break point, switch from the IDE t the console and then hit Alt+Enter it switches to the small window that I want, but I still can't figure out how to make the app start with the console that way.I could post a screenshot but it would look like a big black square...no window, no frame, just the inky blackness of frustration.
