Apr 3, 2009I have this code which when I run the program and click on the btnReturn the form actually minimises to the taskbar. What I have noticed is that yellow and green lines have appeared next to the btnReset section and all the way to the end of the code and that the last line (private sub fmmxxxxload) had disappeared, which I replaced. Now when I run the program it still minimises rather than appears on screen. If I click on it in the taskbar, the correct form is displayed.

View 9 RepliesVS 2008 File Association And Opening Program From Save File
Jul 20, 2009I'm having a slight problem getting my program to load a save file when double clicking the save file.I'm using the Command$() to get the command line argument. I can open a save file by dragging it onto the exe. But not by double clicking the save file (after it's associated with the exe).I though dragging and dropping a file on a program and double clicking the file would open it in the same way, but I guess not.So in short how does file association work and how do I get the file path set to a var when the program loads.

File I/O And Registry :: Timers And File Opening?
Nov 11, 2008I am using VB.net 2005 and I have a timer running on form1 that communicates modbus with a relay io board. There should be constant uninterrupted communication between the two devices and that is working until I open the data logging form2 and import data from a large sequential text file. While I am parsing data, the timer from form1 stops communicating with the modbus device. Once the data is done, the timer of form1 resumes communication with the modbus device. Is there some other method I could use to make sure the modbus communication is never interrupted.? Is there a command I can periodically run from form2 while the data is being parsed that will keep the timer on form1running?
