Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[Code]....
So Yea I just want to make my other button launch the textbox1.text path and open the process...I dont know if I need to sue shell comand but I tryed many thing and did not get anything working
I am working on a small VB application that listens for commands sent from an Android app.
One of the functions is to extract an archive. I am familiar with how to listen for the unrar process to finish, so I can display a progressdialog on the phone while the extraction is happening, and clear it as soon as it's done.
BUT ... if there is an error/alert from WinRAR, WaitForExit() never gets called because WinRAR is still sitting there open until I click "OK" on the MsgBox.
For Example ... if you try to extract a file that is not actually an archive... an alert will pop up saying "No Archives Found", and basically everything is halted on the VB app and the Android app, and the Android app just sits on a progressdialog saying "extracting..." until you manually hit "OK" on the computer.
As you can imagine, this is a problem if the whole point of your app is to NOT have to go over to the computer.
So... I am wondering if there is something similar to WaitForExit() that will wait for an error and allow me to close out the alert and let the process end.
Here's my Sub for the UnRar command:
Private Sub UnRar(ByVal WorkingDirectory As String, ByVal filepath As String) Dim objRegKey As RegistryKey objRegKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("WinRARShellOpenCommand")
I have a listview with process that are running. my goal is to pass the "path" of the process to a text box when someone clicks on a selection.but my code isnt working correctly, this is what I have:
Private Sub lvwProcBox_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lvwProcBox.SelectedIndexChanged Dim pID As Integer = Int32.Parse(lvwProcBox.SelectedItems(0).SubItems(1).ToString) Dim proc As System.Diagnostics.Process = Process.GetProcessById(pID)
[code]....
and of course the text boxes path changes to a different path if a different selection is made?
We have an application that self-updates using a Laucher.exe process which copies down new App.exe and DLLs from a server then runs them in a separate process. This was all working very well until the arrival of the Windows 7 taskbar... Problem is in Windows 7, if the user pins the Launcher.exe to the task bar (by right-clicking the shortcut to Launcher.exe) then this happens... When you start the program the "pinned" taskbar icon momentarily gets focus while the launcher is running but then a totally separate new icon appears when App.exe is running. If the user then decides to right click the icon from the running App.exe and pin that to the taskbar, they bypass the application update part of the process.
I would like to launch a command line exe I created. For now it's a test program that writes Hello World to the console. I can launch it, but the shell window it displays it in only stays for a split second.
I know I can add a line to my console mode program (readline). But I would like to control it from the process launch. I will be using console mode programs that I did not write myself, and many of them don't stall the output. I can't find the right properties and methods to control the default shell behavior!
i am trying to open an external executable file during runtime using a process component and the process.start() method. I've been testing out my code with various executable files on my C: drive....some work and some do not work. I've been able to successfully open Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Excel, and Notepad; however, when I try opening various other executables the following exception gets thrown:
A first chance exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in System.dll
I cannot figure out why some programs open just fine while others cause the above exception to be thrown.
I'm using VB.Net to launch multiple command line window (same exe file) through Process.StartInfo. I would like to have those windows running at background without hanging main UI thread that launch them and at the same time able to get the output of those external window to show progress at progress bar.Here is a summary of what I'm trying to achieve but need further advise which way is feasible
- launch multiple exe command through Process.StartInfo
- don't want the external exe to hang my main UI thread
- need to get feedback from external exe to update progress bar which is placed at main UI thread
How to get full path of current directory of process from where process starts Like if i use my software to start somefile then I want my software to know where she started it from ( files path) What I mean is the file I opend using my softwares location.
Public Sub MoveAllFolders(ByVal fromPathInfo As DirectoryInfo, ByVal toPath As String) Dim toPathInfo = New DirectoryInfo(toPath) If (Not toPathInfo.Exists) Then toPathInfo.Create()
[code]....
My goal is to move all folder inside a folder into a folder named Folders.so If I do it on desktop all the folders in desktop will go to "Folders"but I get an error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."
I'm writing a program that checks processes (when they start), and kills any processes that aren't acceptable. My program is mostly done, but I only just ran into a problem: when I try to get the path (one of the criteria) of a process running under a different user, (MainModule.FileName) I get an exception:
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception occurred ErrorCode=-2147467259 Message="Access is denied" NativeErrorCode=5 Source="System" [Code] .....
Now, the program doing the checking is running with complete administrator privileges, so I can pretty much wrangle any permission I need. How can I obtain the path of the process? (I can use WMI, by the way, I've already used it for another part of this).
I am running an exe file to calculate something from an input file. But input file and Calculator.exe should be in the different direcatory other than calling application.[code]because of the calling application path, calculator.exe is not looking own path.How can I free calculator.exe than calling application.
Im working on a Dll Injector. But that is not my problem. I am using a picturebox to display the icon of a running process. E.g. If google chrome is running. The picturebox should display the icon of google chrome.
I can extract the icon to my picturebox only if I know the full path of the process. That API was easily found and works very well.
But know I want my application to get the full path of a running process automatically as soon as I order it.Like in a textbox is write: chrome.exe, and press the button next to it. What do I need to write in the button to get the full path of that running process.(of course only if its running, I if its not running I dont want anything to happned)
I have a fairly simple piece of code for viewing files System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(tFileInfo.FullName
Basically passes the path of a file to the process and let Windows deal with how to open it. Have also tried Dim myProcess As New System.Diagnostics.Process
[Code]...
Works beautifully on my machine, but on three others i have tested it on, it opens PDF and TXT files no problem, but as soon as I attempt to open a Word file or an Excel file I get "There is not enough memory or disk space to open Word" and similar in Excel if the application is not already open. If the Office app is open, the code works perfectly. Has anyone come across this before?
I've been trying to figure out how to get the image path of all currently running processes. I've been researching it for a while via Google and MSDN, but can seem to come up with anything.
I have researched the Internet and found more than a few potential solutions, but I keep getting errors on a Windows 7 machine. Here's the scoop. I have an application written in VB.NET that launches a console application. The console application will run independently of my VB.NET app, so the user can close and restart the VB.NET app and potentially start a second session of the console app from the same installation.
I am working in VB2008. I don't know what process is started when a user double clicks on a folder to display its contents. I am working on an application where I store paths to various folders in a database that is displayed in a treeview. I would like to be able to select a node in my tree and then pass the path to the associated folder to the application which can display the contents of the folder. I need to know the name of the application or process that I am trying to startup to display my folder contents.
I am trying to automate a process I do with a bank with vb.net. Basically I need to open a website and navigate through it (Automatically through the program obviously), enter a batch ID and enter a file path and name. For some reason when I get to the part where I need to enter the file name and path, it simply will not populate the text. I have attached a word document with screenshots and code. The only difference I can see, is that in the bank website's code the the input type for the file text is "FILE" rather than "TEXT" as it is for the batch id...
I have a Access program and I'm using VBA code in the background to run Winunzip using shell command. Well, the path of the .zip file has spaces in it and it's not recongizing the path as a valid path. Is there a another way to tackle this problem besides the shell?I can't us pkzip either. Has you can see I had to use progra~1 instead of Program Files.[code]
I am making an application. Here one of the field is a picture. I need to browse to this picture folder from vb.net application and then save the path to a foxpro table. Something similar to what we have when a setup is run, we use to browse to target location and the path value will be there in the text box. What is the approach to be tried out.
Basically I'm having problems trying to display a filepath in a textbox. The idea being is that when the user clicks browse, and browses' to the file they wish to execute, the file path the displays in the text box.
I am trying to retrieve the path from the filedialogopen and show it in a textbox so far all I am able to do is to show the "1" (true) result from the .ok in the filedialog.
Private Sub DB_Set_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DB_Set.Click If DB_PATH.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then Try DB_Path_Text.Text = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(DB_PATH.FileName) Catch fileException As Exception
I have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).
I am a new developer in general and decided on VB.NET for my first language. So, I decided that I should write a basic FTP client since the types of apps I plan on developing later on will incorporate file transfer. I imported the chilkat dll as a reference to my project since the FTP seems to work great. Anyhow, I've designed my program with separate interfaces for sending and getting files (see attached screenshot).
The problem here is that I use an openfiledialogbox to select the local file to transfer to an FTP server which this populates the textbox with "C: ext.txt", but chilkat wants the filename without the C:, or I receive an prohibited file name error when executing the send button. So basically I just need a way to store the filename text.txt without the C: extension so I can specify THAT name as the "remotefilename" which Chilkat will understand. The way I'd really like to do it is to have my send button remove the C: from the existing textbox and just leave the filename there - that would be fine.
I tried to research this and found that the path.Getfilename may be used for this, but I'm not totally sure how i should go about it. Here is the code of the Send button for my FTP Program so far. *By the way, this program works 100% if i just create another textbox, take the filename "test.text" and reference that as the remotefilename.
