how do I check to see if an application is running on the computer and, if it is, then close it? For example, I want to see if "myprog.exe" is running and, if it is, send it a message telling it to
I have Example and i need to kill the session when user close his browser window. i tried page_unload() not working. the example is:i have parent windows and window will open from it i need to delete session when user close the child window.
I was investigating on Google wether there was any sort of code that would return the current state of a laptop's 'lid'. I need to be able to find the state of the lid and be able to execute code before the defined event in Windows Power Management is executed.I have come across ExCreateCallback and stuff on MSDN however I wouldn't have the faintest on how to implement it into VB.
I am developing an application in Vb.net 2008.In it I wish to add a conformation message box when ever someone attempts to close the application window.So I want to detect that some one has clicked on close button which is present on title-bar of my window.
sometimes, when I use Form.close() when debugging my program, although the form is closed, the application is still running. I noticed this behaviour when using the msgbox function.
detect whether the current application is a console or a winforms application.The reason that I want to do this is that I am developing a library with a global error handler in it and I need to know what type of application it is in order to be able to subscribe to the appropriate exception event.Obviously I could get the user to pass in a parameter specifying what type of application it is, but I would rather deal with that automatically so its all encapsulated from the user of the class.
I'm currently in the process of building a text editor type program, and have run into a brick wall. I haven't done VB in years, so I may just need a little reminder on some things. I have coded everything so far as far as opening files, saving them, changing fonts, colors, etc. However, I'm looking to add a Close button to my menu strip that will just close the currently opened file, and not the entire program, while also ask the user if he/she would like to save before closing the file, and then if they select yes, it will show the save dialog, and if not, it will go ahead and close the currently opened item.
I try to transfer a vb6 application to vb2010. In the vb6 I start with a login panel that the user enter uid and password autenticate with the DBServer if ok show application main menu and close the login form. the order of the me.close() after the mainform.show() does not change, The application ends.
I want to ask the user a barrage of questions regarding configuration settings within the application. All that is handled, except that I want to ask them on the first run. (Kind of like a "Welcome form".) My question is, what is the easiest way to detect the first run and how would I go about doing so? Side note: regarding the link above, which location would be a good location to set a key value? (I've never really worked with the registry much until now.)
I've been looking around the internet and I haven't really found any solution to my problem. Is there a way to perform a function when a user closes the form either by pressing the X button in the top right hand corner? I am using a database that saves what form the user is currently looking at, and when the application is closed I want to say "offline."
I know the default install path of the app and the name of the .exe file, but is there a way to see if it is actually installed? I've seen suggestions for checking registry entries, but I don't know if this app uses any or if if varies for different users on different pc's.
Is there a way to detect (an API call) when task manager is shutting down an application? I don't want the application to be shut down! How can I prevent that?
i have a dll file and i need to use it to close/exit/shutdown the application thats using it if that makes sense. i can code something inside the main application that would close it if it receives a specific response from the dll but im trying to minimize the amount of code i need to use within the main application.

Someome knows some utilities that can detect all the API calls of a specific external application? The application I would like to detect is a console application and, being without form, Spy++ don't find it.
i created an .exe application with vb.net 2010 , my problem is when i run the application and then close it, it still runs in processes . why does this happens ? and how can i fix it?
When I launch my application, and press the "X" button on my app, or my quit button which deploys: me.close It will not fully close the application. Like the instance is still running in Visual Studio or if you go to task manager processes you can still see it there. How would I get this to fully close?
I have a console application that asks the user to press number 5 to close the application. but i don't know what code to put so when the users press 5 the console application just closes?
Ive seen that people use Form.Close() and Application.Close(), but what if I have many forms, and I may have forgot to close one of the forms correctly, is there a way to exit the application that actually checks to make sure that all the processes related to the program are closed first? I read on another forum that Application.Exit() is a bad way to close the program, and I found an example code of how to do it the right way, but Ive never found this anywhere else before.
I would like to close my appliaction and then open it based on a condition.Lets say I have a Lab1.EXE file, I want to close if the flag = True and then reopen it.
If ClFlag = True then Application.Exit ---Then RUN LAB1.EXE Endif
