View 2 RepliesI was thinking of adding a simple bandwidth monitor to a console application and I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a line in the console window visible at all times. I could set something up manually to pass new console output into a method that would get the contents of the console, clear the console, add the bandwidth data on the first row, then rewrite each line of previous information back to the console, etc.. but that seems like a really hacky way to go about it, and I'd be limited to the amount of rows visible at once in the console window (no scrolling).

View 2 RepliesI created a VB.NET Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio 2008. When I run my program from the command-line, I get no output (only the next prompt).
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Debug.Write("Foo")
Debug.Flush()
[code]....
EDIT: Can a program have a form and a console?
EDIT2: However, the output appears on the next command-line prompt. Can a Winforms application tell the command-line to wait until it's finished instead of immediately returning?

View 5 RepliesI am currently working on an application, where I am using a console application, that will set up the application prior to the main form is run. This is no problem I've got that all working perfectly, the only problem I have is that the console is showing while the application is running, I was wondering whether anyone knows any way in which I would be able to hide the console before it gets shown to the user.
View 12 RepliesI am trying to send/print/write all possible ASCII codes (0-255) to another console-window application. From my application I would enter the name of the "receiving" application and the comma seperated hex values that should be sent/print/written to it. I have used AppActivate to select the "receiving" application and then have used sendInput and send.sendkeys to attempt to send the desired ASCII value. However, these appear to have limitations on values greater than 127. I need to be able to send all 255 values.
View 1 RepliesHow do I get the console from closing immediatley upon opening in a Console Application program? I have all of the code written but when I run the program it pops up the console window and then immediatley exits so I am unable to read what is in the window to see if my program is operating correctly. This is the first time I've ever used a console window so I don't know where in the code I would need to put "whatever it is" I might need to put to keep the window open until closed by the user.
View 7 RepliesIt sounds confusing but it's not really. What I need is basically a way to emulate the console style text, without using a console. What I'm really doing is trying to do a matrix effect on my form background, by drawing symbols and moving them, alternating their colors (see this video for what I mean).
Is there a way to do this effectively with a timer and a draw event, with the timer calling the draw event and changing the intervals?
I understand that I cannot use the System.Console to output information from a Windows Forms application because the standard input, output, and error streams are not run through the console in winforms apps. But I can't seem to find any documentation on where the standard input, output, and error streams are being directed to! Basically, I have a winforms app that accepts command line arguments and can be run in batch mode, however, I just want to direct some feedback to the user based on whatever method they're accessing the program. The app is used to redirect a client-server application from one server to another. In some instances, the user does it by hand (with a mouse), and other times they're doing it in batch mode (using SAS, command shell, VBScript, etc...). In those instances, I'd prefer NOT to use MessageBoxes because it will kill any processing they're doing.
View 6 RepliesIs it possible to use Console.Write to place a single character at the very bottom right of a typical 80x25 console, without having the console scroll the row up? This is the code that I'm using...
Imports System
Console.SetCursorPosition(Console.WindowWidth-1, Console.WindowHeight-1)
Console.Write("x")
This is not working like I would like it to. Any suggestions or alternatives? I've tested that SetCursorPosition does use a 0,0 coordinate system, already. Using the WindowWidth-1/Height-1 should put me in the lower right corner of the screen... which it does, but then Console.Write is putting the "x" down and continuing on to the next line.
I am running some commands on computers and I would like to have them output a seperate text file if the command cannot run.
For Each strUserName As String In strLines
Dim ReplaceCommand As String = sCommand.Replace("*", strUserName).Replace("$$$", saveFileDialog3.FileName & ".txt").Replace("###", exeSearch)
[code]....
Am I on the right track? I am getting an output to a text file but its just one line ans always says PASS.
I'm working on a console application that needs to write a line until a certain value is met and than do the same backwards until another value is met.
The line need to be 51 spaces wide, start and end with the pipe ("|") character and have a cross ("X") character in between.
I can only define both the characters once.
The result needs to be something like this:
|X_________X|
|_X_______X_|
|__X_____X__|
|___X___X___|
|____X_X____|
|_____X_____|
And then from the last line on, go back to form a big X on the screen and start over again, going over and over until a key is pressed.

View 3 RepliesI have seen countless examples of reading standard output from command line applications which print text to the screen and one can read that back into the application as a string. I want to read the binary data back that is written to standard output from something such as image magick's convert program. What is coming back is an image, not a text result or error code. Is this possible? I have been looking for ages but found nothing that makes sense.

Just wondering if there is anyway to read each line of text that is output from a console application?
Basically I want to use PSEXEC through a vb.net GUI application and I would like to be able to read any error codes that may occur from the command line.
I was wondering it's it possible to read all the text being displayed from a console/terminal/cmd application (What ever you want to call it).
I would then want to echo that text in a text box.
