Prevent Excel Save Dialog Progress?
Oct 21, 2009
I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not for this, but I'll post here until I hear otherwise. This had really become a problem for me and I can't seem to find an answer. A lot of my programs will export data to excel. When the wokbook is saved it will popup a save dialog box with a progress bar and a cancel button. The problem is the dialog box loves to steal focus. This causes a problem when for instance right now it is modifying several work books and when I'm typing I could end up hitting the space bar when the dialog box steals the focus and it will cancel the save. Is there some way to prevent the dialog from showing?
For an example this is some quick code I threw together. I have several workbooks that have more data than I need to archive. So it goes into each one and deletes those excess rows. The workbooks are in 2003 format, but I'm running 2007.

I have a simple desktop application that uses a .NET setup project (.msi file) to perform the installation. On the first installation, everything proceeds in a timely fashion with good feedback for the user.The problem occurs when the user is installing the latest version of the application over an old version on their machine.There is an unacceptably long delay of about 60 to 180 seconds from the time the installer's 'Welcome' dialog [It's not the Welcome dialog, I've removed that from the Start section of the setup project and replaced it with a CheckBox dialog to ask if the user wants a shortcut on the desktop] disappears until the 'Progress' dialog appears. The user sees minute(s) of blank screen and thinks the install has stopped or failed.
In the setup project properties, I've got the 'DetectNewerInstalledVersion' and 'RemovePreviousVersions' properties set to true. So, I believe that while nothing appears to be happening, the installer is actually removing the old version. The 'Progress' dialog does not appear until the new version begins installation.I've been trying to either:
a) Get the 'Progress' dialog to display immediately after the 'Install Icon' dialog disappears
b) Show another dialog while the Uninstall is running to let the user know that the setup is still running and everything is OK.
I have been unsuccessful with both methods. I'm using VS 2008 SP1?

I need to create a dotNet saveAs dialog, but I need to populate the file formats in the dialog. After the person have selected a file, it must connect that to a file format that I populate into the SaveAs command in the Excel Interop. After the Interop SaveAs command, I must check if the file have been saved correctly.

I'm trying to make a simple Windows form app that does things. I'd like a box to show the progress of each step as it's doing these things. Sort of like a console output, except not on the console, but in a display box that is non-interactive to the user. What thing in the VB.NET toolbox do I use?

I am wanting to find out how to use the Win32 hooks to allow me to add extra save locations to the save and open dialog box so as to allow as an option for files to be saved directly to a database rather than a file system.I have tried looking online but can't find anything remotely usable for this, the only data on hooks that I can find involves Window operation hooks, mouse, leyboard, and shell hooks, nothing to do with files.

I am trying to save multiple text files using a save dialog.
I can save one textbox
SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
Dim File As System.IO.File
Dim Write As System.IO.StreamWriter
Write = File.CreateText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName)
Write.WriteLine(TextBox1.Text)
Write.Close()
but I don't know how to save multiple textboxes and richtext boxes. Would I have to use a screenwriter for this?

I have developed an application which requires reading data from Excel file and performing some calculation. However for some reason the Excel file is always locked at the end of the computation after I close the application.

I�m using a few workbooks in excel to calculate data and then I import them to access and finally I use it in visual basic front end.
Now the workbooks can get quite heavy and it takes some time for the computer to open and save and so on, so I�ve put a progress bar on my form to show the user that something is happening.
However I would like to use excels own progressbar, so that when the workbook is being saved, my app actually shows the progress of that particular save. Can I do that? The instance of excel that handles the workbooks is hidden.

code snippet that would allow a progress bar to track the input of a text file? Normally I would not bother with this, but the text files are > 10,000 lines long, which is noticable even on a fast machine. The number of lines is variable, so I would assume that one would not use a fixed value to calculate when the progress bar goes 100%.

I've set up buttons with the Save Dialog and Open Dialog in Visual Basic 2010, but It doesn't really do anything when I save, and there's nothing there when I try to open. I didn't actually put any code in the dialogs or anything. Basically, I just want to beable to have an option in my VB2010 text adventure game for the user to save his/her progress.

I would like to modify SaveFileDialog to instead save a new directory (which will contain new files automatically generated for the user based on the name of the directory). I can produce the necessary code to carry out the intended functionality, but I want the dialog to prompt for a 'folder name' instead of 'file name' and to not display 'save as type'. Is this possible? Is there a better solution for a create new folder/directory dialog? I know about folderbrowsedialog, but I need to force the user to name a new directory and identify the location
