I'm having trouble getting this Shell command to hide this script. I got this Shell command to work with other compiled VB script but blog_finder.exe was created by some other program. Any ideas on how to hide it or minimize it. All variations of AppWinStyle.xxx doesn't seem to work. [Code]

View 2 RepliesI have a page with multiple RadPageViews, some with RadGrids in them. They all need command item template in order for the user to edit and refresh the grid. On my first page view, the item template works perfectly, poping-up the edit form for the user to edit the data of the selected row. On my second page view, the command item template buttons don't seem to want to work (not even the refresh). If it were just the edit button then i would suppose there'd be a problem with my edit form, but not its that no buttons seems to work (not even refresh). The grid does display the information correctly too.
Here is the code of the pageview who's radgrid doesn't seem to work:

I've been going through it many times and i don't understand why it doesn't work. I've also compared it to the working pageview and there doesn't seem to be any noticeable difference between them both.
I want to open explorer to a specific destination but both shell() and process.start() are not opening explorer. They both open other applications like calc and notepad though. It works fine when debugging but not after I publish.

View 2 RepliesI have a VB.net program in which I call the Shell function. I would like to get the text output that is produced from this code in a file. However, this is not the return value of the executed code so I don't really know how to.
This program is a service but has access to the disk no problem as I already log other information. The whole service have multiple thread so I must also make sure that when the file is written it's not already accessed.
So the app that I am working on requires me to launch shell commands that output text into a command prompt window. I need to be able to capture that text into a string.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to run batch files code within Visual Basic. I've been told you can do this using the Shell command, however I'm running into trouble with double quotes.As the Shell command syntax is Shell("codecodecode"), I'm not sure what to do when the batch file already contains quotes.
For example, how would I use the code:
copy "file location" "destination"
I know this is simple but if I want to run a shell command upon termination of the application,
where do I put the code?
I have multiple shell statements, give code example if you can
I am trying to execute a shell command with vb.net that includes variable from the vb.net code.I have experience with batch, and Unix scripting. I had to modify the contents of the code as it is confidential to me at the moment.Example of my problem:
Dim Variable1 As String = "Location_to_.exe"
Dim Location As String = "UNC_Path_Goes_Here"
Dim Options As String = "/Options go here"
Shell("cmd.exe", /C Variable1, Location, Options) This is something that must be run from CMD.exe and I am trying to do it this way to make it as dynamic as possible.
I know the "Process.Start" function, but it creates a new object of the cmd shell which terminates itself when the Python script is at its end. How can i open the original Windows Command Shell so that the Python file can run to its end without the box getting closed?

View 6 RepliesI am trying to setup a variable in VB, which will execute a shell command (autostatus.exe) with a parameter (-j JobName), and later display the output of the said variable. The code thus far is...
Dim JobName
Dim JobStatus
JobName = "asysr11_set_global_var_2day"
JobStatus = ShellExecute("autostatus.exe", -j, JobName)
What is the easiest way to achieve this? Currently, the above code returns error message "line:4, Type mismatch: 'ShellExecute', code: 800A000D"
I have a visual basic shell command that installs an IPP printers with a shell command. It asks for the username for the port.

I've created a very basic WF Shell project which runs an EXE (xyz.exe) in the WF Shell project's Resource folder. I can get a command line working from the Shell to open the other EXE (xyz.exe). But, I can't get code to close the Shell project's other EXE (xyz.exe) once it is opened. The xyz.exe windows called by the Shell continues to stay open even if I pass a "close" command line to the Shell.
The following code (which Paul suggested in another posting) will not close the other (xyz.exe) EXE's running process (when called by the Shell). While the Shell seems to be able to return it's called subordinate EXE's (xyz.exe) ID, not sure how to use such an ID to close its process.
Imports System.Diagnostics
Module Module1
Dim resourceFolder As String = Application.StartupPath & "Resources"

I've researched this - and have read the other posts on this forum so this isn't a request for the commands themselves.My issue is that I can't get the 'desktop background' (to change the picture) applet to run from the following:Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,0", 1)
what I get from changing the commands are the following:Desktop Icon Settings Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,0", 1)
Screensaver Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,1", 1)
Appearance settings Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,2", 1)
Resolution settings Call Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,3", 1)
If I increment up from 3 (desk.cpl,,3) to 4,5,6 etc it still only gives me resolution settings. I tried up to 15 but lost the will to live after that! I'm using Vista (and VB 2008) so not sure if this is the issue, but if anyone has any suggestions please - I'm all ears.
I'm using the following code to execute a command-line script, which uses imagemagick (a third-party, free, image tool) to create a watermark.

View 3 RepliesI searched around and could not find a solution so I am sorry if I started something that has already been covered. Want I want to do is run a command line code and simply return a boolean of if it was successful or not. Is this possible? Typically when you run something (example net user User Pass) it will return a value "The command Completed Successfully." If I return this value I will have it from there.
View 10 RepliesI haven't touched VB or Visual Studio in an incredibly long time, so I appologize if this sounds ignorant.
Right now, my application (pictured below) is a simple button that executes a shell command. I was thrilled that I even managed that, but it got me to wondering if my application could execute that command, rather than sending the process to cmd.exe.
I would like to have the single command shell, aka cmd, in my app within a form in an interactive way.
View 6 RepliesI have an application that requires data be entered, and after entering, a button is clicked to process that data. Clicking the button works just as it should--the data is processed properly. In constructing a test module, I provide a set of data values, followed by:
btnWhatever.PerformClick()
Nothing happens. I have used this syntax for years, and it has always worked flawlessly. I have triple checked everything else and isolated the problem to the failure of the PerformClick(). The PerformClick() is in a test subroutine that does nothing but fill textboxes and labels with default data, then calls the PerformClick() on the button to begin processing. Again, the button works fine, the data is entered as it should be, but the PerformClick() does not fire the click event.
i am trying to open a excel 2007 file using a shell command in visual studio .net 2008 from a button object but it says "File Not Found" even though I created the file and put it into the same folder as the application.
View 2 RepliesI have a legacy vb6 application that uses a shell command to launch a newer .net application. It's a very simple command, just launches an app. Here's the problem. When I run the .net app through the shell command, it tries to connect to a database that is not referenced in it. If I double-click the .net executable, it runs just fine and connects the way it is supposed to. Normal, no problems. Only when I run it from the shell command do I have problems. I have checked everything I can think of and simply can not come up with a reason why the app would behave differently when launched from a shell command.

Shell(string.format("unix2dos {0}", sFileCompletePath))
I've already added the unix2dos command in my environment path on the server.But when I execute the above mentioned command I get a FileNotFound exception even when the file is located on the disk.
If I execute any shell command in VB application How can I capture the return code from the shell command. I have written something like this

Now I want to know the return code of the above command which ran using shell script.
