How To Create GUI To Run Dos Command
Jun 13, 2012
I want to create a gui application for a dos command I use at work. Instead of opening command prompt every time, I'd like to create a gui based application to input a line of text, hit a button and run the command. The command is "java DecryptPassword 'hash tag'". The decryptpassword is a java application that, well, decrypts passwords. The hash tag is provided by a web application that creates a hash tag from a user name and usually looks something like 'StgweteGFSAdfASD='.
I would like to develop a small application where you insert the hash tag in a text box and click a button (Get Password) to run the command. I'm fine with the password displaying in dos prompt but if I could somehow get it to display in the gui that would be awesome. As I'm sure you can tell I am pretty new to all of this.

I apologize if this question is something of the most simple, but I'm not even sure what terms I should use to search. What I'm trying to do is create a 'Sub' that will do something when I call it in another Sub, however I am unsure in how I would pass variables from one another. Here is what I have;
Private Sub Log
LogBox.AppendText(logstuff & vbNewLine)
End Sub

I'm writing a utility that will do several things. One of the things it's going to do is run some commands on a domain controller, and pipe the results to text files. Is there anyway to create a progress bar that will show the overall progress of the task? Even cooler would be to have a label that said dcdiag running, Can this be done? If so, how would I do it?Dcdiag.exe /e > .Logsdcdiag.txt

just hoping that someone may be able to point me to some information where I can create VBA objects in vb.net (I am using VS2008). For example, I would like to create a new object in VBA with the command (Dim x as Matrix) where 'Matrix' is an object with various properties and methods.

In VB2008 I would like to create a GUI for a command-line based exe called psftp.exe which can be downloaded here and basic usage here.I need to be able to carry out commands on the fly for example...
On Click of Button1- Connect to host
On Click of Button2- Prompt for username
On Click of Button3- Prompt for password
As these commands all relate to previous commands, they need to be carried out in the same instance of the command prompt.I have tried using the attached solution from an older post however it just doesnt work when trying to connect to a host (it works perfectly fine when using the standard command prompt).I'd also like to read any outputs from the command-line so I can create events on errors thrown for example...
On Click of Button1- Connect to host
On Click of Button2- Prompt for username
On Click of Button3- Prompt for password
If command-line throws "Access Denied"- MsgBox(The password you have provided is incorrect)My alternative to this is to buy a SFTP .NET component .

When I used to play wiith VB 5.0 I was able to create an array of comand buttons on the form. This allowed me to have one routine that knew which of many buttonshad been clicked and I could then take specific action based on which button was clicked. I can't see how to do this in VBE 8. Is this possible?

First let me say that I am not sure whether or not this should go in this section or the API section, and if it needs to be moved I apologize. My issue is fairly straight forward, but for some reason I cannot get it to work.

I know how to use the default buttons item, but is there any way to achieve the style of multiline buttons (or maybe rather, "clickable text"?) like shown below?
The situation is that I have an interface for the user to select what kind of file he wishes to establish, and there has to be a brief description under the larger, main line of text.
I'm only planning to run this on Windows 7, so I don't need to worry about backwards compatibility with older versions of Windows

What I would like to do is create a command button that launches an email from outlook attaching the current word document to a set email address. I'm not fussed if the word document is saved or not as it is only the email receipent that needs it, likewise I don't mind if the code instructs the email to send of just opens it ready to be sent.I have read through loads of forums and tried loads of codes but cannot get any to work.

I am using the following code to run defrag and to analyze if the C: drive requires defragmentation:
Dim analyze As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:WindowsSystem32defrag.exe", "C: /a /h /u /v")
This process runs through analyzing, runs it in normal mode & prints the progress to the command window.
My problem is that as soon as the process is complete the command window closes. I need it to stay open so that I can read the results.

I am trying to send a command to the external command line (cmd.exe) from the Windows form application that I'm writing in VB.NET (using VS2008).
I can only access the external program thru the command line (its not my program) and I must do so from a form app.
I am trying to use the following code. I am able to call a cmd.exe window, but I can't pass the command line my command.
Using mp As New Process
With mp.StartInfo
.FileName = "cmd.exe"

I am using a CheckedListBox that is populated with Filenames (full path, i.e. C:TestTest.jpg)When I have the files that I want in the CheckedListBox I wish to click a Start Button which will process the list one at a time using an exe program that runs on the Command Line. There are arguments that need to pass to the command line as well as the file location in order for the program to process.I currently have it working but the issue is the loop finishes quickly and it is left up to the CMD.exe to finish the process. What I would like is for the LOOP to wait until each file completes processing before passing the command for the next file in the CheckedListBox.There some reasons I wish for it to work this way.
1) I would like to have a button that can Pause/Restart the Loop.
2) I would like to have a button that can Stop the Loop so the whole process can end.
3) I would like to have the Loop remove each file one by one from the CheckedListBox after it has been processed.
4) I would like to display a Message once all the files have been processed.
5) And if it were possible I would like to report the status either by text or a progress bar showing where it is at in the process.
6) And the ability to add some error handling if possible.
Since the Loop finishes so quickly as it just passes the command to the command line using the & as a seperator it is the command line that is handling the rest of the process. Because of this there is not control over it in the GUI.The code I am using allows the Command Line text to display in the Form so it won't open up a seperate window to run CMD.exe. This is the desired affect as I would like everything to appear to run from within the Form itself.

User need to select their prefferable data to show in report. What i did is i have a clear command first to delete the temporary table. The temporary table is basically a table to stored user selection parameter data. After the clear command, i have
a insert command to insert user selection data into the temporary table. What happened now is when i run the program exe, first run of the report is work fined, but not the second and the following times of execution. It will return null or blank report. The weird thing is when i execute it from development environment, it seem like the report is able to pick up user selection parameter and run the report for the first times and the subsequent execution.

I already know this works: [code] But I would much rather have a built-in function to work with. Here is what I am trying to do: url...Also, this doesn't just work for pictures. It works for any binary file. Is there any way in VB.NET to tell if a file is binary or text?

I am struggling to pass a parameter to a VB.NET application via a Windows scheduled task. It works perfectly in Visual Studio (passing a command line arguement via project properties).If I am calling a VB6 application, then I will supply the following parameters and it works:
Run: c:progra~1TestTest.exe TestParameter Start In: c:progra~1Test However, if I supply the same parameters in VB.NET, the program throws an exception when it tries to create an instance of a class in the Form.Load: System.NullReferenceException cannot create instance of object.
I have also tried the following:Run: c:program filesTestTest.exe TestParameter Start In: "c:program filesTest" This time the status of the scheduled task changes to "cannot start".What is the correct way to specify command line parameters in a scheduled task for a VB.NET program?UPDATE I found the solution on this web page:[URL}.. I am still confused as to why the program would not create an instance of an object when I used the 8 bit paths (i.e. progra~1)
