When I run external application from my VB project and kill it (because external application only runs in tray - cant handle window name - i have to kill the process of application) then icon garbage of this killed application still remains in system tray. I need to remove this garbage (something like refresh).[code]...

I have an array of data which is currently updating itself every 10seconds from when my spreadsheet is opened as you can see from the VBA module code given below, that is fine but the charts that I have created manually from the data are not updating themselves as the data changes. When I change the data by editing a number in the range etc. then surely enough the chart updates. Is there any code available which will refresh the chart I have made automatically say every 15 seconds, giving a 5 interval breathing space between the data and chart update?
The code I have attempted to resolve the problem in the Sub AllWorkbookCharts () doesn't work as there is a problem with the refresh part of it.
Sub Update_Time()
Application.OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:00:10"), "Sort_Table"
Application.OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:00:15"), "AllWorkbook_Charts"
End Sub
Sub Sort_Table()

We have an existing VB.net application. Upon an event, we need to open a browser window. I'm able to open the browser window like this:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://s3web01/suggestions?item=" + strItem + "&co=" + strOrder)
Upon another event, we need to refresh the browser window with different parameters for strItem and strOrder.
If I call the same code above, it opens a new tab in the browser window. Is there any way to refresh the same browser window that was previously opened?

View 10 RepliesI've been doing some research on controlling another exe without Process.Kill() .
The reason why is that I want to have a main controller program that starts and terminates my other exes . I can't use Process.Kill() it just kills my exe without giving it a chance to save data or handle the form closing event . I want to separate my program to multiple exes to prevent a scenario which is if one of the exe hangs , all the other exe hangs .
When the termination event or signal is received , then the exe would do a rollback or handle the closing part to prevent data loss etc .
So far , I've only found some methods of doing that .
1) using TxT files to communicate between exes.
2) Inter-Process Communication (IPC) using name pipes .
I am developing a large, multi-windowed application. It creates a console using AllocConsole and uses it to dump various information useful for diagnosing and debugging situations with the hardware. The program drives sensitive scientific equipment, and CANNOT be allowed to quit abruptly in midstream. Unfortunately, clicking the close box on the console window does exactly that.
1. Suppress or disable the close box on the console window
2. Trap that event, or
3. Adjust something so that my process does not depend upon its console for its life?

Can anyone tell me how to kill a thread immediately.
I have tried MyThread.Abort, but it seems to do nothing. Someone told me it's because 'Abort' waits for the current operation to complete, but my thread will run for over 30 minutes before that happens.
I made an application that helps facilitate malware removal by running a bunch of different CLI scanners at once; among other things.
The app was made to run in normal and safe mode. The problem, is that since it has been made to run in normal mode, it essentially becomes useless if the malware has installed a rootkit that kills executables as they open or if they've messed with the exe file association in the registry.
So, to get my app to run, I thought to do 2 things.
First, change the file association of my app to either .com, scr, or .pif so that it can still launch but won't be affected by messed up reg keys or identified by the rootkit.
But, I still need to worry about that rootkit for the other apps.
So I thought to just kill all non essential processes.
What would be the best way to accomplish this?
I thought of two different ways:
I could either have a pre-compiled list of system processes that need to stay running or when looping through the processes, I can identify each by a specific property, like company name or something else.
