I open a Shell("CMD") windows using my VB program but I would like it to open within my VB program. Either using a Text Box, List Box or some other box. I can get it to open a dos prompt but I want it to be contained within my application. I want people to be able to see the results. There are several different windows my program opens but I don't want them to open externally.

The contents of this text file are "hello". I use my program as the default for .txt files. I dbl click hello.txt. My program loads and the contents are blank and it should have "hello" in it.

View 6 RepliesI saved a file with the extension .doc. I use the RichText to write and save the text. I did not set any encoding type when I saved it. When I tried to open the file in the Richtextbox again, I got all the formatting characters in the RTF file. How do I correct this? How do I open and re-open a .doc file in the Rich Text box control without the formatting showing up in the box with the document contents?

1. How do i make it to where, when a program starts for the first time, it asks for a user to enter in his data, like signing up for a site for the first time?
2. How do i make it to where the program will save the data entered, and does not delete when the user closed the program.
3. How can i make it to where when a user signs in, his/her data is read correctly? Like an array search for a multidimensional array.For my "New user" sign data i created a function...

I current have an app that I am trying to create. I have 2 List boxes, a textbox, and a command button.What I am trying to do is take about 100 text files that all have certain text in them that I need to change at run time to whatever I put into the textbox. For instance Each Text file has my old company name and I want to be able enter my new name into the textbox and click the command button and the app will open each text file, find the text that I specify and replace it with my new name then save the file into a specified folder.What elements should I be studying to make this happen? So far this is what I've come up with:
OpenFileDialog - to open the file
StreamReader - to read the text files and find the text that I specified
**Not sure on the replace method**
StreamWriter - to write the text from the textbox to the new file
SaveFileDialog - to save the file to the specified location

View 1 Repliesi tried searching, so i hope this isn't answered and is in the right place, but i made a program in visual basic 2008 which was working completely fine when i finished it. i uploaded it online for others to download, which has also worked fine for them for several months. as of late, some users have reported that when they try to use the program, the 'open with...' window pops up because windows does not recognize the program needed to run my application. yet...it works fine on my PC, and most others (that i assume that have not redownloaded it causing this error to occur). i instruct the users to update their .NET framework in the original forum post to the latest update which was previously required for my application to work, but the issue still arises. regardless of all my searching, i haven't found a solution. or any issues that are even similar to mine. i'm a beginner programmer (only one semester in visual basic) and that was over a semester ago, so i'm hoping it is an easy fix i'm not aware of or am overlooking.

View 16 RepliesObjective : Time how long a user has been on the internet. I have never delved this deep into Visual Studio. I am suing Visual Basic 2010 Express. Please move it if you need to.
I want to have a program - that will detect running processes. If Internet Explorere EXE or Chrome or FireFox exe or any other browser is installed - as soon as that process starts the timer will appear.
When those processes are closed by the user the timer stops counting. This is possible but i dont know how. But i only want it to time just one internet process because timing them all when they are openend up at different times could cause bugs. Unless on the time form you have 1 timer for IE, 1 for FFox, 1 for Chrome 1 for Opera..
