Bit of a Noobie question here, I have a process, for example[code]...
I need to launch the process from within code in a form or module and I want to monitor its progress, for example with a progress bar.
The problem I have is that in order to use a 'progress form' I have to show a form modally, then kick off the process (usually with a button) and allow a cancel option.
I want the form to show then start running automatically without user intervention.
I want to make a process monitor tool with WMI that monitor the processes created or deleted, but the code will not work. Note to reference System.Management,
Can I monitor the registry for changes similar to how sysinternals process monitor does it in VB? I have checked many different articles and C# samples but not come any closer to getting an answer, I would like to know if there an easier way (a VB sample perhaps)that you folks can share. Ultimately I'd like to be able monitor other things too like file system, processes etc but wonder most about how the registry can be done in VB...Would using system.management be a start? Or WMI? if so is there a nice VB sample..
im still working on my DVD Player.. but ive run into some problems..I want to implement a trackbar (any way to make the background transparent btw? Really ruins my design), and im wondering how i can make it track a DVD movie progress? I Havent used a trackbar before, and im having some troubles finding any good documentation on it. So anyone? (using the MSwebDVD component)
i am trying to figure out how to copy a file in the background and monitor its progress.
in VB6 i used the FileCopyEX API
so i wrote a quick application in VB6 that used the API, then opened it in VB2008, so it ran the upgrade wizard
i get one error message after the wizard runs

Second, I have a question which I have been trying to find answer for a wile but without any success.How can I monitor Windows Process for any change (create/kill) after run my app ? the only way I have think about it is that used two lists, the first one load the process list on it and the second refresh each 1 sec to get the new one and compare the two to know the difference, but its useless because you cant know who killed or created the process and other information.
As I have been read before, I guess there is a need to implement windows API, hook to detect process changes ? Is there any idea or solution for this?
I am using the following code to start a CMD process, my question is.My application starts up a CMD, and then the CMD commands a php file to start up and run. How can I track both of these process, so I can start and stop them?
So I got this idea to write a very small application for a school project that raises a balloon from the system tray everytime a new process is getting launched or an existing process quits.
With my current code, I am getting the list of processes using a timer.This list needs to be compared with the previous list and detect differences (if this is possible, or should I use a different concept)? I have no clue how to do this.
I currently have:A ListView (ListView1), with the View property to "Details" A Timer (at a 5000ms interval), with the following
Firstly im aware that the code below will auto run the default browser.
Code:
But i need to find a way of finding out what the default browser is. Is there a registry setting that displays this? also whats the best way to monitor for a process start or exit?
I was thinking about making a listview that updates every second checking for new entrys or entrys that have gone. But is this the best way if i only need to monitor 1 or 2 proceses?
I want to create a Small application for all the computers in my house that Monitors Network Traffic Because we are using large amounts of data each month and that leads to high costs.I can Monitor A computers total traffic with the system.net.networkinterface namespace. Now I would like to know if it is possible to Monitor an Process/applications Network Traffic to pinpoint The Problem.I've Read About WMI But there is so Much info on MSDN that i can't actually get to what i want and i don't think there is something so direct like the amount of bytes sent over the network.
I need to launch a VB6 application (which i am already doing fine with the Process namesapce) but I would like to be able to send status updates back to the VB.Net app which fired up the process. I looked into the standardinput and standardoutput but it looks like that is only intended for console apps. Any suggestions on methods to do that? I need something that is bullet proof and instant. I dont want to write logs out to a file and use filesystemwatcher to monitor for changes.
what is the method to tell when a user starts or stops a process? My company makes a software package that allows a tie in from vb. I want to make a package to allow me to start and stop the software remotely and to monitor when the software is running or not.Ideally there would be some sort of event in windows when the user starts or stops the software. I imagine there is some sort of way to do this with a timer, but I am sure that windows will have some sort of event process when the program starts. I have googled this and looked through the xtremevbtalk forums for this but I am not quite sure as to what keywords to use.
My application periodically starts console programs with process.start. I need to monitor the output of the programs in "realtime".
For example, the program writes the following text to the console: Processing...............
Every second or so a new dot appears to let the user know the program is still processing. However,... until the programm outputs a CR/LF, I am not able to retrieve the standard output of the program (while it is still running).
What can I do to get the output in realtime for - let's say - piping it into a database for instance in VB.NET?
I want to develop a process that will monitor computers that logon to my network. Gather information such as computer name, time of logon and log out.The process would be located in the icon tray?
how i can use progress bar and updated with progress time. i mean for example if i make some process by click button ( copy file or search or) process that take alot of time, i want to see the progress bar change depend in the process. i know how to use it with a timer, this i don't wanted, because i don't know the time require for process event.
Iam using this code to browes sites AxWebBrowser1.Navigate( Me.TextBox1.Text) no how to make a progress bar run till my browser process of searching end ?
I would just like to know if there is a way to integrate a progressbar that shows the progress of the process? I mean when process.Start is activated, that's when the progressbar starts to load until and stops only when process.HasExited.
I've asked this before, or something similar, but can't find it so I don't know what the answer, if any, was.

Now it seems to work fine, but I'm working with very large files (70+ GB) across a network (local copy is not an option) and while the function is executing if the user moves the application the screen can go blank and they can panic. What I want is a way to update something like a progress bar to give feedback to the user.
I have created a listbox with several items that when a button is clicked, it opens up the application that uses that file and then starts the file. this all works fine, but I wanted to know if there is a way to show a marquee-type progress bar for each process as it's being opened?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If CheckedListBox1.SelectedItem = "ITEM ONE" Then Process.Start("c:\DIRECTORY\ITEMONE.exe") End If
I have a form that I will be using to copy directories of photos from memory cards to locations on a computer. I would like to add a progress bar to the application to show the progress of the copying in real time. This is the code that I use to copy the directory in the first place Dim SourceDir As String = SourceTextBox.Text Dim DestinationDir As String = DestinationTextbox.Text If System.IO.Directory.Exists(DestinationDir) Then My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(SourceDir, DestinationDir,) Else My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(Destination Dir) My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(SourceDir, DestinationDir)
I want my vb.net dll to get the data sent from c++ project(exe).Can any body help on in what form this void pointer can be sent via pipe. The void pointer corresponds to enums or structures. I have to get this structures/enums on the vb.net dll end. I have mentioned about using pipe. My question is as what type the pointed to data can be send over the pipe so that I can easily handle the received data at the vb.net dll end.
I have VB2008 Express.I have a main form. From the main form you are eventually lead to form 2.
Main Form - Form 1 - Form 2 - Form 3 I want to monitor how many times someone gets to Form 2. How many times Form 2 is opened but then closed without proceeding to Form 3. I do have an "exit" button on form 2, that will go back to Form 1.
