I'm new to programming and to Windows Forms development. I'm using VB.NET and Visual Studio 2008.
My question is: How do I open Notepad from a Windows Forms application, and then place some text string in the Notepad window?
i want to open or start a new application ( example : notepad ) when i press a control ( example : button )how would i do this?
View 2 RepliesI have a project with various forms all of the same size. Is there a way of getting them to appear in, for example the middle of the screen each time they load, in the same position
View 2 RepliesI am currently working on a small vb.net project which consists of several windows. These windows consist of buttons and so on and if I click on one of these buttons, another window opens up and the previous window just closes up or hides itself.
The problem is as follows; when the new window opens up, it goes to another place (coordinate) on the screen(though its just a slight displacement).
hat can I do to make all the windows open at the same place??
what is the codes for open and save a notepad text file
View 5 RepliesSuppose I have this Dim proc As Process proc = Process.Start("Notepad.exe", "C: est.txt") Now, if I want to use Notepad.exe to open another text file (ie. C:2ndTextFile.txt) without closing it, how am I going to do it?
View 7 RepliesI have searched, but failed to find a suitable answer to this. My small app saves a text file using a savefiledialog and stream writer. Then if successful, displays a messagebox confirming sucess and asks if the user wants to open the text file now. and this is the problem... How do I determine if the user has changed the filename and or path in the savefiledialog when saving? I'd prefer not to hard code a path and file name if possible.... but that seems like the only option? and therefore I can't show the file straight after saving reliably??

View 6 RepliesI have a basic three form application. It doesn't seem to close after navigating through forms. If I were to open the application, and the main form is displayed. If I press the X button, the application closes fine(Goes from processes) If I were to open the application, and then navigate from the main form to another form using me.hide & form1.show, and press the red X on Form1, the application again, closes fine.

I have the requirement to create an application that has multiple front ends developed using Windows Forms, WPF, ASP and Compact Framework Mobile Forms.I would like to be able to create a series of obejct representing the business logic and have this logic accessible from the various front ends available. My first thought was to use remoting as I'd like to be able to pass the business objects back and forth between client and server but the compact framework doesn't support remoting and also transferring a full framework business object to a compact framework business object doesn't seem possible.My next thought was to use web services but again the passing of business objects seems to be very hard to accomplish. Without doing this I would have to create individual web methods for each business operation.
Finally my next option is to use sockets and write the whole client/server logic within some classes and expose them to the UI/Business layer. My only problem with this is it is not scaleable should the number of clients increase dramatically whereas using remoting or web services I can host the solution via ASP.Net.Does anybody have an ideas on the best way forward for this or even have any input on how they would write an application that required a windows form, wpf, asp website and mobile device GUI all of which want to use the same business logic?
I have two windows forms,say frm1 and frm2. I have to open frm2 from frm1 and frm1 from frm2.when one form opens other hide. But the the problem is that everytime when i open the form new object of the form is created which increase the memory usage of the application.What should be the efficient way to switch from one window form to another in vb.net.
View 2 RepliesIs there any switch that will allow you to open an application over all the other currently open applications? My problem is getting Explorer to open over all the other currently open applications. Right now, it only opens in the background......

View 1 RepliesI have a windows forms application written in VB.NET which scrapes information from serveral web pages (who doesn't right)? Anyway, I am having problem with one particular site where partway through the page navigation my application hangs. When I press pause (or break) in the debugger, it stops on a call to System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents.
Resuming execution shows that it really is stuck on this line (it does not reach the next line of code). It also hangs about the same point each time I run it (at least its consistent). Since System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents yields to other threads on the same processor and then resumes execution of the current thread, I think the problem is that some other thread is not behaving well (not returning from some event handling code). I thought Windows 7 was pre-emptive, which makes me
doubt that theory but I really don't know.
[Code]...
The program scrapes somewhere between 12 and 14 pages before it gets stuck on the call to DoEvents. Does anyone have a clue why this would happen? Why would any call to DoEvents hang?
I am trying to use the System.Diagnostics.Process class.I have the following Windows Forms application. It consists of 1 Button and 1 TextBox. The only code is for the button click event as follows.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim myProcess As New Process()

View 5 RepliesMy boss gave me an MS Access application that was developed by our former colleague. He wants me to convert that application to VB.Net Windows form application. I went through the MS Access Application. It contains tables, queries, forms, reports and macros. I could not find the programming (Where is the code written in MS Access?). My boss wants the windows application to be same as the MS Access Application (both in design and logic). I don't how will i develop the windows form. How can I achieve this?

View 4 RepliesWhen i debug the program and open it(inapp.exe) in notepad there a line
C:UsersendroitDocumentsVisual Studio 2008ProjectsDataTypeDataTypeobjDebugDataType.pdb
Well, is there any solution or way not to include that line when debug. I know that .pdb is important in debugging, but when the app published still there's that line. Can we disable it or there's no other way.
I have a notepad I am making. I need to resolve to more then 1 Save and Open Filter. I have the code:
Try
Dim dlg As SaveFileDialog = New SaveFileDialog
dlg.Title = "Save"
dlg.Filter = "Text Document (*.txt)|*.txt"
If dlg.ShowDialog = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
RichTextBox1.SaveFile(dlg.FileName, RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText)
[Code] .....
Most of them are for things like this, where I am looping through the open windows in my application and then if I find a certain window I do something to that window:
For Each wnd As Window In Application.Current.Windows
If Found Then
Exit For[code]......
Is that the kind of thing I'm supposed to do to fix all of these type conversion issues or am I going about this the wrong way? Also in situations like that, should I be using DirectCast or CType?
I'm building a simple Notepad where users can open CSS & HTML files & was wondering how I can program it to open the file in the main text box like the regular Windows Notepad does.
