Get Type (x64 Or X86) Of A Running Process In Macro Code?
Jan 22, 2010
I'm writing a macro to automate the process of attaching to the IIS worker process (w3wp.exe, Windows Server 2k8) from Visual Studio. The trouble is that I often two app pools running at any given time, one in x64 mode and one in x86 mode. This means there are two processes called w3wp.exe running at any given time, and the only way to distinguish between them is the mode they are running in. When I use the "Attach to Process" dialog, there is a "Type" column that shows that information so I know which w3wp.exe to attach to, but I can't figure out how to get that information in my macro.[code]....
I 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 Word macro that I want to run under Word 2003 and Word 2007. I would like to know if there is a way to check which version of Word is being used so that I can call different subroutines in the macro. Does anyone know how?
I have seen numerous sites that provide examples on creating progress bars. I would like to know how to "call" the progress bar (created as UserForm1) to update a completion percentage of records processed from a Main macro in Module 1.
I'm using Visual Studio 2003, and I have a macro similar to this:
[Code]...
The first time use the macro, it works fine. Each subsequent time, even after I detach from the process, the .Attach() doesn't seem to do anything. The same thing happens as I step through the macro... the proc.Attach() gets called on the correct process, but nothing happens. One note: when viewing the process in the Processes window, the Type column for my process shows ".NET, Win32".
i am trying to write a little program that checks for a process and kills is.here is the
Dim p As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("Cheat Engine")(0) p.CloseMainWindow()[code]...
My problem is it�s woking ,yes if the programm ,,Cheat Engine" is running the process is getting killed.But if the program is not running my program crashes.
Trying to create a button that when clicked will check to see if a certain process image is running and if that process is running give the process focus. If the process is not running then start the application.
this code was not done by me originally and there are some thigns here i dont quite understand i have altered it a bit from my coworkers code to suit my data and it works. but too slow. and when i have 4000+kb excel files it might freeze altogether. ( I have checked tho that when and after this transposer runs it will still be within the excel row limit, i had done calculations before and made a macro to automatically split excel files based on number of columns and rows to make sure this is so ). This code seems to start out fast then goes slower the longer it runs. at least this is what it seems liek to me.
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.
Is it possible to call the VB code formatter from within a macro? I wrote a macro that automatically adds a call to the logger in side an function or sub when it is created. But when I change the TextEditor.Enter command to my macro, no code formating takes place. Is there a way to call the original command Edit.BreakLine(Enter(TextEditor)) ??
I am creating a MS Access database. The database will import a table from another Access database, query for selected data within a date range. Thus, I am having difficulty with the Macro code to import the initial table. Therefore, what's the code to import a table from another access database? The database is names InputContract.mdb.
I need to be able to forward all incoming mail to another email address. The email address I need to forward to will always be the same. I can forward any mail message manually however using the rules will not work. I therefore need another method via a macro or something.
I'm writing a macro in Excel to connect to a button on an MS Excel 2007spreadsheet. When clicked the button copies some data from the file and uses the data to create a new .txt file. Since the macro is creating the file I can control the file name and storage location. Once created I want to e-mail the text file to a standard e-mail address.
ActiveWorkbook.EnvelopeVisible = True With ActiveSheet.MailEnvelope .Introduction = Range("T22")
I'm automating Visio 2003 from a VB.NET app. My code looks like this (with the uninteresting stuff removed):
Dim objApp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.InvisibleApp objApp.Settings.ShowFileOpenWarnings = False Dim objDoc As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.Document objDoc = objApp.Documents.Open(VisioFilename)
I've found that the last line causes Visio to raise a hidden MessageBox saying:
Macros in this document are disabled because the security level is high, and the macros have not been digitally signed or verified as safe. To run the macros, you can either have them signed or change your security level.Since this is going to be running on computers I don't control with files I don't control neither of those options works for me. I really don't care that the macros are disabled, I'm just using Visio to convert the file from it's native format to SVG. I certainly don't want to suggest to users that they lower the security level, nor would I want to lower it for them.
As you can see from my code above, I turn off file open warnings but that doesn't seem to include the macro warning. Since I'm using Visio.InvisibleApp it turns out the warning isn't displayed to the user. Running a visible instance of Visio won't help because I'm creating a batch converter, even if the message was visible it means the user would have to click OK for each file. That would make the batch conversion feature essentially useless.
I see that the Visio class has a VBAEnabled property but it's read only. If there was a way I could just turn off VBA when opening the file it would likely solve the problem. I've looked all through the properties and through the Settings property on the class and can't find anything. I've done a bunch of Google searching and can't find anything that addresses this issue.Anyone know if that warning can be suppressed when using automation with Visio? Can I do it if I switch to Visio 2007?
I'm have a program (GUI) that interfaces with excel to execute macros. We're using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel to call/run the macros and this works great.What I can't figure out is a good way to cancel the macros from the GUI.One idea we had was to use the excel.application variable that runs the macros to write a "stop" value to a specific cell in the workbook, and in the macros (they are all mostly loops), check for the "stop" value in that cell. This crashes my GUI with this The program '[2188] BVLReports.vshost.exe: Managed' has exited with code -336589910 (0xebf00baa).And excel gets tied up, and won't respond. I know how to Exit Sub from within the macro if the "stop" value exists, so I don't need answers on how to check/cancel from inside the macro. Any ideas on a better way to write this "stop" value or a better way to cancel the macros externally?
I have created a service which should give a welcome message while I login to my Laptop & "Bye" message when I logout/shut down.Its setting is so that the service gets started automatically. But it starts & sops immediately. When I try to start it manually I get the following message:"Welcome service on local computer started & stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs".how to keep my service running so that I can test whether its doing what it should do..!!
Below is the code.
Public Class Service1 Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String) ' Add code here to start your service. This method should set things
i search a lot, and i not found any answer i decided to make a thread here i want to khnow how to make a program, that program see if the process is running, and is the process is running, then make something
I have a program which i need to open a program called VEngine.exe. The program i wrote is running through scheduled task every 5 minutes to check if the VEngine program is running. If it is not running it will start it.
Everything works, however if i log off the server and i kill the VEngine. The scheduled task STARTS VEngine.exe however there is no Gui Display.
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.
Im working on a small virus removal application, and i have a piece of code to check if a process is running,although, it doesn't seem to work.The code is as follows:
ListView2.Items.Add(TimeOfDay + " - Starting Process Scanner") Dim Vir As Process() = Process.GetProcesses Dim a As Integer For a = 0 To Vir.Length - 1 Debug.WriteLine(Vir(a).ProcessName)
I'm not sure how I would use Process.GetProcessesByName()to check if a process is running, and if it isn't start it, using VB.NET?I know how to start a process using Process.Start().
I 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.
