Suppose I save a file as *.tar (this extension is my own making) using a vb6 program. Now when the user clicks this file, the window asks 'with what program to open this file' and he/she selects the exe of my program. Now I want to pass the name of file clicked to my program. Like when we click *.xls file, the exe of Excel program knows which file has been opened or clicked. Is there a way?

How to make a program wait until a button is clicked by the user. I want to stop my sequence of codes (statements) until a button is clicked by the user.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a program to send a command through a textbox when a button is clicked, THEN grab the output and put it into another texbox. If you could help i would be great full. This is what I have so far....

I'm trying to do is make a program to where when you click an option, a text outputs for each button clicked, the general design looks like this:
That's just a beginning, since the whole rest of the thing will be the same concept pretty much, and what I want to have it do is, like stated earlier, once the option is chosen, a text output, like this:
I know there is an alternative to solving that, but it will take me 10x more time, and that is, creating a new textbox, setting the visibility to False, and typing what I want outputted in that text box, then putting: RichTextBox1 = TextBox1.Text
I know that works, and gives me my output, but I just wanted to know if there was any other way but that.
I need the file name from Windows Explorer... I have a service that runs when a specific extension is selected.It's along the same lines as selecting a Docx from WinExp and then Word opens and brings your file with it.

I know I gotta get a book or something because things are just way too hard for me. But before that happens I have what I think should be an easy question.
I want to create a variable in xaml, the angle that a control is currently at, and then use this variable in my VB code (event handler).
Or even better can I, while in VB code, check the current angle a specific control is at so that I can add to the number when setting the new angle?
I have a form and from this I call
dialogPrintDiet.ShowDialog()
which launchs my dialog. I need to pass a string value and need the easiest way to do this in VB.NET .

This is .NET 1.1 legacy code so not good I know.[code]...

View 2 RepliesSo I'm pretty new to operating in the VB.NET environment, so this might be really basic. But my issue is this. I am writing an application to get the next available computer name within active directory. I have an VB program that queries active directory and finds the next available name. I also have a VB form that will allow you to set the name of the computer and which Active Directory OU it should go into. I would like to have the program that finds the next available name run right away when the app is opened, and then pre-populate the computer name field in the VB form with the next available name from Active Directory. However I'm having a very difficult time finding how to do this. I've tried adding the first program in the ApplicationEvents startup area, but I'm not sure that it's running, and I can't find how to programatically pass the result from the first program into a textbox field.

View 1 RepliesHi, i'm trying to use the treeview to display the text of a rtf (rich text file) file when an specific node if clicked.HomeOMGWOOTFor example, if i pick OMG, i want the text of lol.rtf to be displayed on a richtextbox. But somehow i just can't manage to get it... I know to import the text of a .txt file to a textbox, but using the treeview makes it more complicated.This is the code im using right now:
Private Sub TreeView1_NodeMouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeNodeMouseClickEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.NodeMouseClick
Select Case e.Node.Index
Case 0
[code]....
Another thing is, that i can't import the *.rtf text into a richtextbox and i don't know why.
I already have this code from another question on this website.
Help.ShowHelp(ParentForm,
("C:UsersBeaudeanDesktopHelp.chm"),HelpNavigator.TableOfContents, Nothing)
That works fine except i need the location of the chm help file to point to "my.resources" where it exists because i need to install my program but in that code example it only works with strings?
i've made a little app that opens .txt files kind of a replacement for notepad now i have set the install package in visual studio to associate .txt with my app however when i double click on .txt files my app opens but blank. so i'm assuming i've gotta code something to get it to open the clicked on file but.... haven't got a clue where to look for inspiration or code i can "borrow" and chop to fit my needs. i assume it's got to be in the load section of the program.[code]

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a function that searches up a WebControl's parent-child relationship (basically the opposite of WebControl.FindControl(id as String), but looking for a specific WebControl type).
Example
I have a user control in an ItemTemplate for a GridViewRow. I'm trying to reference the GridViewRow from the user control. The user control may or may not be inside a div or other types of controls, so I don't know exactly how many parent's up to look (i.e. I can't just use userControl.Parent.Parent). I need a function that will find the first GridViewRow that it finds on the way up the parent-child hierarchy.
I am developing an VB.NET application that reads data from the serial port and tcp socket, then I'm processing this data and store it in Database server. This application will be started all the time as long as the computer is started. On the server there is installed an apache server with some php scripts representing the "visual interface". From there the users can see the readed data from the VB app. The need is when an event appear in the apache server (such as button pressed), some data to be passed to the running VB app, and eventually trigger an event on it. I've considered some variants like start an timer that reads continuously some tables from the database that the php script writes onto, or read an xml ot text file, but I think that this may slower the communication and it is a source of exceptions or errors.
For example: An user opens a webpage, just to say test.php. On the page there is a button. The user pushes the button. The result of pushing the button has to trigger an event on the VB app and cause sending data trough the serial port or tcp socket. OR - The VB app has a timer that scans for pressing the button on the test.php.
I would like to make my program do nothing for a few milliseconds.
