is there a way I can get my program to run when the user logs on to Windows, but before the Start menu and everything shows up, and then when the program terminates, run Windows normally?
We have a Windows Forms application that needs to run on an ASUS EEE PC on-site. The application displays some data on the Form, and processes some data in the background. It is connected via Serial Port and USB to some custom electronics at the location. We could have used a regular 8051 microcontroller for processing and displaying the data, but since we added a barcode scanner along with a database into the equation, we needed a chip with an OS, so we went with the ASUS EEE PC minimalistic machine option, with Windows XP installed, and the platform used for coding the application as VB.NET and SQL Server.
We have two user logins created on the Windows machine - an admin login, and a limited user login. What we require is that when the employees manning the on-site location switch on the computer, and login into their limited user login, instead of displaying the desktop and exposing normal Windows functionality, the machine should directly start our Forms application, and not allow the user to quit or close or minimize the application in any way, but should only display our Forms application in full-screen mode. The Forms application should have a button which, when clicked, exposes the Windows Shut-Down dialog so that the machine can be shut down when not in use.
I am working on a program, obviously, and was wondering if there was a way to dynamically alter whether or not the program started with Windows. If there is a way that doesn't delve to heavily into API that would be wonderful.
I have ran into a small problem with my code. I got bored lately so I wanted to try a project. A program that will start up with windows starts up and it opens a webpage like google.
My code is below.
Imports System.IO Public Class Form1
[CODE]...
I use the code [code] System.Diagnostics.Process.Start [URL] when a button is clicked, but when I add that code in without clicking a button, it does not work. I have tried to put it everywhere, but it just does not work. I have also looked it up.
I know similar questions have been asked/answered, but after looking across the net for 2 days I still haven't really seen an answer to the following question.rst, background info: My application starts at windows start as a user checkbox option (by using the run key in the registry.) I don't know if it is usual or not, but when the app auto starts on windows start, no saved user settings show up on the form (but they do when starting the program manually after windows is already running). I've tried both HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. In case anyone needs or wants it, my code for accessing the registry is:
Dim Reg As Object Reg = CreateObject("Wscript.shell") Reg.RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMICROSOFTWINDOWSCURRENTVERSIONRUN" &
I made a code that starts the Disk Check on boot time it works fine on Windows Vista and Windows Xp but on windows 7 I checked the path at were windows 7 stores BootExecute and it is on the same path. Maybe the system is blocking it. Or do i have to change the code.
Here is the code:
Dim rk As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey rk = My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession Manager", True) rk.SetValue("BootExecute", "autocheck autochk /p ??" & Drive) 'Turn ON The Drive String just gets the name of the drive for example C: or D:
I had more problems coding for a windows 7 machine then Vista.
For some time ago i have notice that my App on every start make a call to csc.exe and starts it. I know for sure that that did not happened before and I can not find out why this is happening now, or better to say: what did I do in code to make this happened? I have google-it and found out that csc.exe is some kind off on-the-fly compiler for C# (If I understand it correctly ) but my App is in VB.net so I am a bit confused. Can someone explain it to me in general what have I did in my VB.NET code to make my App on every start calls csc.exe?
the issue is that customactions class in my VB 2010 code, correctly configured, does not start the program after installation, neither sets the autorun, it seems that subroutine OnAfterInstall isn't invoked at all.
Note that process termination before installation (for upgrading purpose) eventually works.
I am making an auto login program, and what i am trying to do is have it so when you press a button (button1) it will start the web browser sub. I have to have the code for the login in the web browser sub because otherwise it wont work. But I want it so that the button will start the code in that sub.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted
I have a solution that has three projects. One is a service, one is a form, and one is a class library. I use the form for debugging, my logic is complete now I would like to just call.
In some applications, like taskkill.exe you can send info to the app when it starts up. By that i mean taskkill.exe /f /im 123.exe.... how do i make my VB.NET app read that info on startup so i get it in a string like this "/f /im 123.exe". I have absolutly no idea what this is named,so thats why im asking here.
I am a student trying to create a program in VB that starts out with a penny pay for the first day, two pennies the second day, four pennies the third day etc. There is a drop down box that the user picks a day of the month. The program calculates to that day of the month. I am not asking for the code, I need help understanding how the counter initializes and stops on the day the user clicks on.
I can get the collection of selected rows but I cannot find a way to determine which is the first selected row. E.g. the table has 20 rows, the user selects rows 3,4,5,6 using the mouse on the rowheaders.How can I determine that the selection starts at row 3?
I've got a very simple SQL database program that lets me change user information in a table. I have two textboxes that show the user information but I want it to show a specific record as the program loads.
I have a VB solution in Visual Studio 2010 which is a year or so old. In the last couple of months a very strange thing has started happening - when I open the solution, it starts debugging immediately. Has anyone got any idea why this might be happening and how it can be prevented as its really annoying?
How can I make my app perform an event (in this case updating) on the first run, and every five starts after that? So on the first, then the fifth, then the tenth etc. I know I could do it by adding 1 to a settings variable every startup, but I can't figure out how to check if it is a multiple of five. Or is there a better way?
I host a few servers for different games as my hobby, I tried to make an application that would make it easier to control the servers. Should be really easy for people who has spent more time with vb then I did,This would be the interface of the application, on the textbox below the buttons is where I can specify the patch to the application that starts the server.I tried using the following lines of code, but they don't seem to be working:
Public Class Form1 Private Sub GMODStart_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GMODStart.Click Dim GMOD As String = Me.txtGMOD.Text System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(GMOD) End Sub
I'm having a problem that printing in VB.net where any network printer i choose is waiting untill the last page is spooled before printing begins. However i'm looking to have it begin printing after the first page. The printer is set to 'Start printing immediatly', and this is giving me huge problems as we're trying to print duplex documents that may be 75 ~ 100 pages long.
I have an application that uses many forms and a couple of modules. One module modMain contains my subMain that starts the application. In subMain an instance of frmMainMenu (insFrmMainMenu) is created with a menubar. As the user selects an item from the menu bar, an instance of a specific form is created (for example insFrmViewCustomer). That instance is opened with the ShowDialog method. When the form insFrmViewCustomer is closed, a statement in insFrmMainMenu disposes the instance of insFrmViewCustomer. modMain also contains many public functions and subs, as well as public variables. The other modules contain public functions and subs.
So, What is loaded into memory when the application starts? And Is there a tool within Visual Studio that tells me the answer to the first question?
