I am making a security program in visual basic 2008, and am wondering is there anyway i can stop the program appearing in the applications tab in task manager. Theres the option to close the program via the taskbar with a password, I just don't want anyone to be able to just end it from task manager. I know you can stop it somehow cause other programs manage to but how?
This works for XP, VB.NET 2003/2005/2008. This example does not work on Windows Vista. Add a ListView, and Timer to a form. {Timer must have the Elapsed Event}
Code: Public Class Form1 Const WM_COMMAND As Int32 = &H111 Const MF_ENABLED As Int32 = &H0 Const MF_GRAYED As Int32 = &H1 Const LVM_FIRST As Int32 = &H1000 [Code] .....
I have created an application in VB2010 and deployed it such a way that it will start automatically when a user logins.I want user to restrict closing the application, so i disabled the close button also in the forms.But still users are able to close the application from Task Manager. Is there any option to restrict application closing even from task manager...?
I tried to build my project but it failed and said the exe was already in use by another process. So I looked in the Task Manager and saw several instances of this exe and several instances of another exe that I wrote. Why wouldn't the processes be stopped after I close the programs I wrote. Is there something I can do so that the processes end after I close the program?
Is it possible to code a program so that the name displayed in the Task Manager can be changed mid-process?I have searched for it but everything I found was either someone wanting to hide the name or was for VB6.I am developing a program that will be run in a dozen instances at the same time. There will be two (2) user input forms followed by a processing form containing nothing but a third-party component that we are forced to use to capture our data. What I am trying to do is change the name after the user input to indicate which instance this particular program is. That way, if the third-party component hangs, we will know which instance to kill.
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.
In my application, the user can create a word document from a word template with dynamically added text and data to it. This happens on a backgroundworker so that the application doesn't hang during the process. This all works fine and the word document opens correctly when finished. Now if the user leaves the application to do something else, in most cases when they come back to it, it has frozen. It's still responding/running in task manager but the interface is frozen. In debug mode, it never freezes and so I can't catch the exact moment when the freeze occurs. My backgroundworker is disposed of when complete and I close everything related to the word object.
I have an application that's using NotifyIcon control. Everything is fine except when I exit the application by the Task Manager, the icon is still in the "system tray" area. I want it to disappear once I exit the application by the Task Manager. [code]...
i created a windows blocker to prevent users access, and only give access to the computer for a certain time if they pay....In the block state taskmgr can not be accessed also no other method can close the blocker. but once the computer is unblocked for use it become vulnerable only to the taskmgr since i have to give access to the taskmgr when the program is not blocking access. Is there anyway to prevent my program from being KILLed in the taskmgr or is there a way to restart the blocker if the user KILLs the program?
I have written an application in Visual Basic 2010 that I would like to hide from the Task Manager Application Tab, if possible. It's fine if it is listed in the Processes tab.
The purpose of the application is to allow users to postpone a restart following software update installations that require restarts. The application includes a form the user's must interact with so it can't be permanently hidden from view on the desktop. I am basically looking to mimic the WSUS Windows Update dialog which allows users to postpone restarts.
VB6 has app.taskvisible which is no longer included in VB 2010. I have seen a lot of discussion around this topic but no real solutions.
I'm going to create an application that will act as some sort of task manager. For stability reasons I will not use threads but processes instead. I have to deal with several third party libraries and/of COM servers that are not always that stable and can produce severe crashes sometimes. This may (of course) not affect the task manager
Problem with using processes is how to communicate with them? The process must f.e. give a status back of what it's doing every x seconds.
I was thinking of using TCP over a separate port per process, but is this the best way of doing this?
i dont no much about vb.net ..i am php developer i have just developed a mini application in vb.net i wanted to know how to hide our application from appearing in task manager...
anyone knows the equivalent code for App.TaskVisible in VB.net? App.TaskVisible is from VB6 which hides the application in the applications list in task manager and not in the processes list tab.
Need help removing a copy of my program shown on the Task Manager after I close.
I must kill a conflicting program that cannot share the COM port and then reinstate when myprogram ends. To reinstate I use: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(conflictingPath & conflictingProgram)
In the last line of my Form1.Closed I try to end all with:System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit()
Not working - each time I run this program it does kill the conflicting program, can do its dialing function and upon closing reinstates the conflicting program. But each time another copy shows under Task Manager.
I am currently creating a task manager. But there is a problem : After killing the processes, it still remains in my list box (list of processes).I don't want to use a timer to clear the list and add the list of processes again because this will cause the list to blink.[code]
How do I make my app have a description in the Processes tab of the Task Manager? Changing the assembly description doesn't do it apparently. Right now the description is just it's name.
