I am trying to write a code that lets you open a text file and display it in a text box. I need to make it so that when the user tries to close the program it will ask them if they want to save any changes made to it.
View 3 Repliesi just found a new error problem on my app.. i have a save button that saves text1. as the file name and text2. as the content.. i recently tried to save this file name on my app: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareC07ft5Y as a file name, and due to the in the file name, it made my app error and close without being able to save my file.. my question is, how to bring a msgbox saying "invalid characters in file name" instead of causing it to error and shut down. (just found out that registry entry is for SafeDisc-enabled products, although, i'm not fully sure..)

Dim frm As Form
For Each frm In Forms
Set frm = Nothing

The above code is what I used in VB6 to close all forms associated with my programs before my program closed. I have been searching for information on how to make sure all forms are closed when closing a VB2008 program.
I have seen info on using the Project Property Shutdown mode When startup form closes and I currently have this set.
Is this all that is really necessary? Will the garbage disposal close everything else to free up RAM?
Also, if I have several forms open and want to close all from the main form without closing each one individually, what is the best approach? Is there a collection like in VB6, go through the collection, compare it to the name of the main form and close it if it is not the main form?
i have a form with a listbox. the listbox can be edited (things added/deleted) and when the form is closed i would like the items in the listbox to be saved when the red "x" in the top right corner is clicked
View 3 RepliesI'm sending a message on FormClosing(...)... This works ok. However... I have multiple tabs with a textbox or rtb, in it. When I change the text, whatever, it is modified. Now, when I close the app a messagebox appears that some of the textboxes or rtb's have been modified. This message is shown for each textbox-rtb-control. Which means, that when I have changed something in 4 different rtb's or textboxes I get the message 4 times. How do I change that to only one time?

I recently made a simple pseudo-encryption program that changes each character into another. It is capable of encrypting and decrypting a string. This can also be done to any text file as well. The characters range from ASCII 32-254 (This on it's own may be an issue because of #127 being DEL).
Because I believed my own coding may be at fault, I attempted this with Triple Des with identical results.For Triple Des, the requirements for en/decryption was:
Encrypt: String to Byte
Decrypt: Byte to String
And to change them either direction, I used UTF8. I also attempted ASCII and UTF32, but I don't know what I should do. I am considering dropping this but I want to learn problems like this because I am currently in college and haven't started my core classes for programming yet and want the head start.
The point where I have come into a problem is attempting to do this to another file type like an image. I looked at the results from encrypting then decrypting and the results were similar, but it seems file encoding must be the culprit.
have you of any ideas in why does my software in vb 2010 still exist in the task manager (process tab), after i closed the program? i noticed it when i want to delete the .exe file.

I'm lending a copy of my .exe on a memory stick and because I dont completely trust them, , I would like to build in a function that as soon as my app has finished doing what its doing And the big red X is hit it will delete itself, but my problem is that i cant put the deletetion in the form closing because the prog is still running, so what should I do? Is there a way that I can get the app to close as soon as the dedicated task is complete, It will remove itself from the memory stick but if the X is hit before the process is complete the then the prog will remain.

I seem to have a problem in finding a solution to threads.I am opening a .PDF file via an <iframe> using vb.net. Then the file is opened, it is then moved to another location. But for some reason I am unable to move the file because it "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." The only way round it i have found is to kill the process for Adobe Acrobat, so the file is released. Even if i fill the iframe with something else.How would I close the file, and stop that particular file from being accessed before the move ?
