Open Specific File On Desktop?
Sep 30, 2010
What I need is to have a specific file on my desktop open when I click a cell in my datagrid. In one of the columns in my datagrid I have a list of file pathways. I have a code that will open my file, but it is not specific:
Partial Class Database1DataSet
Partial Class EMR_master_listDataTable
Private Sub EMR_master_listDataTable_ColumnChanging(ByVal sender As System.Object,
[Code].....
This works just fine, but would I would like it to do is have the file path be whatever is specified in the cell.

This is probably a pretty novice design question. I'm trying to work my way through a number of requirements and give the users the experience they're looking for.I've written a tool that does big calcluation-type things. It currently consists of a class library and command line tool (separate .NET projects.) We're using an Access database format as the file type because it can keep all the various tables together in one file. A few other items about the application: There are not many users. There are no concerns with scalability. There are not great concerns with updates. Desktop is desired. Not web.Using VB and .NET 3.5 SP1
I now need to develop a GUI front end that will allow typical File/Open and File/Save type operations.Users expect that they can open a file, edit it some, then either choose to save it or close it unsaved without any changes being written back to the file. Saving it would obviously save all changes affecting all tables back to the file.
Does it then make sense to use a temp file for something like a proxy then? To, when a user "opens" a file, copy the source Access file to a local temp file and then use that for the editing session? Then, if the user "saves", copy the local temp file back to the source path?
Update: [tagged with ms-access tag too] Also, I omitted the fact that users would expect typical File / Save As functionality too. I think the design I've put in question in this post is what is traditionally called the Proxy design pattern. Has anyone tried this (successfully!) with Access database files before? Words of caution or advice?

At the moment I am using this:
Dim Open As New OpenFileDialog
Open.ShowDialog()
TextBox2.Text = Open.FileName
But that only allows me to open specific files. Can I make it so I can open a folder?

I use DocTools to Create a Compiled HTML Help File. I want to link to a specific topic in the help file from my program, but the filenames of the html files are generated randomly.
Is there any way to open a CHM to a specific topic by name?
I created a wrapper for DocTools, so I could have the command line piped to a text box and then I could obtain the Topics from there and save them in an INI file that I read when I call the help, but I don't know how to pipe the command line to a textbox.

I am loading a KJV.rtf file at program startup into RichTextBoxDisplay. When I want to select, lets say, Matthew Chapter 1, I want the program to take me to Matthew Chapter 1. I know I could just load a seperate file into the rtbDisplay, but do you know how many chapters and books are in the Bible..

I created an application that opens certain Microsoft Windows built in functions depending on what button you use. I have Text Fields setup for certain things like IP/URL, Username, Password, Port, Service. Depending on what function you want it pulls data from these fields.
When someone clicks on Remote Desktop I would like it to pull from the IP/URL, Username and Passwords fields. Right now it pulls only from the IP/URL field. How can I have it populate the Remote Desktop login, pulling the data from my Username and Password fields?
I have found a Login DLL that someone wrote and also found a Remote Desktop DLL but I do not know how to tie these into my program. I somewhat know the process of using a DLL in a VB project but I don't know how to tie these in.
FYI, I would like to be able to make my application a single executable instead of having multiple files that are installed by an Setup program.
Another feature of my program is being able to stop and start a service. I can use Taskkill and have it pull the username and password just because Taskkill has this built in with switches. This is ok for ending tasks but when I try to use SC to start the tasks, it only works locally because the remote server has a different username and password. SC does not have a switch for username and password.
Also another FYI, I do not want to use a 3rd party software that may not be on the remote computer/server. i.e. PSKill, PSExec, VNC or another program..... unless these can be imported into my single executable program and not have to be on the computer. As I mentioned, I do not like having to rely on 3rd party applications.

Currently developing an automation tool to test new desktop OS builds at work. Need to be able to open menu items on toolbarwindow32 windows (main menu of explorer windows). Now this requires retrieving information of all the buttons on the toolbar, obtaining the button ID of desired menu and sending a WM_COMMAND message with the ID. I'm having trouble retrieving button information.Now im using openprocess, virtualallocex to allocate virtual memory in the target process, and then sending the TB_GETBUTTON message with a pointer to the allocated memory then reading out the result. Allocation and the send message works fine but reading the processmemory back out is failing but not returning an error code, getlastwin32error returns nothing either.
<StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> _
Public Structure TBBUTTON
Public iBitmap As Integer[code]....
As mentioned above, the read process memoery call fails, the return value is -1 The documentation states it returns 0 for fail, non zero for pass. Wondering if the problem lies in incorrect use of types in pinvoke calls or the struct tbbutton is incorrect, or my use of a pinned pointer is wrong,or whether I need to use adjusttokenpriviledges to ensure I have rights.Though I'm running under admin and examples similar to this don't use it.
Relevant documentation

I wonder if it is possible to find a specific row and specific columns in data base file (Access) . You see , I am using a DataGridView control to show only SOME of the columns (fields) of a table from an Access file . For example , lets say that in the DataGridView control I only show the following fields :Field1 , Field2 and Field3 .Now , when the user selects an entry in the DataGridView control , I want to insert the text from Field4 into a text box on the form .
The problem , however , is that I don't know how to get the specific row in the data base file and also I don't know how to get the text in column (field) Field4 of that row .One thing that might be important is that the index of the row in the data base file is not necessarily the same with the index of the current row in the DataGridView control . This is because in the DataGridView control the rows are order by the contents in the ID Field .ol .

I was wondering if it was possible to check if the file "test.txt" is open? and if so then display a message that the file is in use? My biggest problem is that the file can be opened in notepad, word, excel etc. I have some basic coding, which checks if the file is open - what I am trying to do is check if the file is currently open and if its not in use then proceed with the coding, I have the following coding so far.
Dim Process() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad")
Dim Process2() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("word")
For Each p As Process In Process

I know this though:

I have a dataset called KeyData made up of two tables Customers and Orders.
I have two forms, one named MainForm that shows records from Customers in details view and the related Orders shown in GridView called OrdersDataGridView. The other form is called OrdersForm and is populated with the Orders table from the keydata dataset and shows records in details view.
When I navigate the MainForm customer records the correct orders are shown in the OrdersDataGridView. So far so good.
Here's the code that was generated when I dropped the tables within KeyData dataset onto the MainForm:
Private Sub MainForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'KeyData.Orders' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
