Program Not Waiting For Called Code To Execute ?
Feb 16, 2012
I'm writing a program and have run into a bit of a snag. I have the code perform a button click on certain buttons, the reason for this is I have a bunch of buttons that each do something and one that does everything automatically. I suppose I could rewrite everything under that one button but that would essentially double the size of my program, I could use an if statement to catch the fact that the program is in automatic mode but that would be about 15 conditions (not looking forward to writing that statement ;p)
Clicking the buttons is a nice simple, clean solution. The exception being the program performs the click then continues on executing the rest of the code in the actually clicked button while at the same time executing the code called by the code click. Main problem with this is the data that needs to be populated by the code click isn't being populated fast enough for the code in the main button so then there is errors, blank data, program doing nothing. A simple sw timer to delay could work (I know how to make one of those) but the problem with that is the program is executing against a webpage and if the webpage takes a few seconds longer to load then anticipated everything is out of wack again. I'm looking for a simplish way to cause the program to wait for ALL code called by any raised event to finish before proceeding.
i.e. Call Button.clickEvent > Wait for code and subroutines executed by Button.clickEvent to finish > continue with rest of code in button.
Below is the code I'm using so far for the user clicked button.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Button4.PerformClick()
'Need to wait for all code executed by Button4 and anything it calls to finish
x = 0

I would like to execute an external program within powerpoint after the presentation has loaded so i can see if its working. In short my overall objective is to execute the external program which will open up the command prompt and use the sendkeys method to sendkeys to command prompt which help it to run a script at the correct time (which is after presentation is loaded).

I want the program to display the text "Waiting for connection..." while the program is actually waiting for a connection. However, when I run the program, the form doesn't even appear because the TCPListener is waiting. What can I do to have the program appear and show the text while it's waiting for a connection?

I have been developing a calculator for complex math. (Much more complicated than +,-,/,*, and above your usual scientific calculator)Its works quite well .In past programs I have used "private functions". I know that you give them a value and it returns on back. But what if you dont want to recive or send value? My example for this is a function I am attempting to make called "Autopi".The idea of Autopi is that whenever a mathimatical operation is about to be performed textbox(s) are cheked to see if they contain pi. (3.14 or 3.141) If they test positive Autopi will continue pi to however many places have been specifyed in the program. (Currently 300 places just beacuse i can :) Before the Autopi function does this it chekes to see if variable "pi" = 1. If it does it proceeds if it doesent its job is done
How would I create a code that can be called apon to activate but not recive or send any information through the program.And just to clarify what I mean by that is it will read information out of a textbox and write into it. But it wont actualy recive anything or send anything back from where it was called apon.

I started this tutorial on sub procedures and am having trouble trying to get this program to execute properly. The problem lies with the total. I am trying to figure out the math part of it. When I hit F5 I can see this
Item Quantity Price.
Pizza Slices
Fries
Soft Drinks
Total
But I can't get them to add up and display the quantity and price. I tried the ByVal and ByRef code but am not sure if I did it right
Here is the code that I have so far:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub btnCompute_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCompute.Click
Dim pizza, fries, drinks, total As Double

I recently found an awesome tool called "Freemind" that is called a 'mind mapping' program. It's similar to MS Visio but way cooler and more automated.I reeeallly would like to integrate this into a VB.net Form, but how?
Has anyone seen or heard of mind mapping inside VB.net before? Are there programs out there already that work with VB.net or anyone have an example they have seen / built that works?

I'm having trouble working out how to lock my application out of a section of code while it waits for a response from an external program've used Synclock on a section of code with the Me object in the expression. In this Synclock I call an overridden ShowDialog method of a dialog box, which has a timeout parameter, but does return the value from the underlying ShowDialog function call ,once the timer is setup. Works like this.
SyncLock Me
Dim frmDlgWithTimeout As New frmDlgWithTimeout ' dialog box with overridden ShowDialog '
Dim res As DialogResult = frmDlgWithTimeout.ShowDialog(10 * 1000) ' 10 sec timeout '

I have an application that checks the available disk space on the host machine and, if the free space is less than some constant, calls a batch which e-mails people who should be notified about such things using sendemail.exe.The VB code works properly, calling the .bat exactly as it's supposed to, and the .bat (when run independantly) works properly, sending of a lovely e-mail.But, when I put them together, the batch file reports that "'sendemail' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.".I'm well aware of how the PATH variable works and have been sure that the path to the .bat is within PATH (hence why it works when I just run it from the command prompt). I can only assume that, somehow, PATH does not apply to processes run from VB.NET for some reason.
VB.NET segment:
If FREESPACE > GetFreeSpace(DRIVE) Then
'Not enough free space

I have a function to pull data from a XML, and to report a specific number based on a value in one of the elements in the XML. Unfortuntately, I can't get any break points to work, so I've been debugging with a trace.he strange this is that when i take out the function itself it works like it should, otherwise the Service freezes when it gets to the function and never uses it. I'm calling the function in while loop which is also within a Try Statement, here's example of the code.

Been spending some time on Codility.com recently and it crossed my mind; how do they execute the code you have created (Specifically pertaining to C# and VB.NET) ?
What I am basically wondering is how would I take a textbox on a form type some code in it and then run that code? Is this possible without 3rd party tools?

how to run code "in the background".As a form is loaded into memory I have the following code filling a listbox from a database table with this sub.I read in one of the documents about making code efficient that I could make this execute in the background.The list box is not needed immediately.

I have an app that allows a user to type in code that can be executed much like vba code in the office world.I currently execute this code with the Proprietary Dexterity code used with MS Dynamics - GP.However, my users need to be able to run outside the Dexterity world.The easy answer is to allow them to type in vb scripting or vb code instead of dex code.However, I can't find an easy way to dynamically execute their code within my methods.CodeCom looked like it could be the answer, but If i'm reading it right, I would have to know what libraries the user is using in their code for vb.Thus, I thought to simply limit them to vb scripting.Unfortunately, I can't find a way to execute vb scripting from within vb, (all the articles are ancient and most links fail - thus I gotta believe there is an easier way).I'm at a deadline where I developed the prototype but trying to use sql statements failed miserably when trying to execute.

I am totally new to VB2008, so please bear with this likely dumb question.
I have seen numerous "my first program" tutorial that show you how to create your form, put controls on it, etc. I can get through those just fine.
However, I am wondering: If I compile a set of subroutines into a .exe, how do I indicate which code/sub to execute initially? I am an old school programmer (remember COBOL?), and we always had a starting point; a set of code execute, that initiated execution of other subroutines, functions, etc.
I have dabbled in VBA for Excel, and MS Access, and even those, you indicate in the interface, and menus you create, that first bit of code that brings up the menu, or perhaps the program's main interface.
