Startup Counter, Problem With Saving File.

Apr 19, 2011

Hello,
I wanted to make the application to count how many times it has been runned..so I could make something like a restriction. You know..like run 10 times and get full version.. anyway..I did not find anything to count the startups..so I tried to make the application to create a folder on startup and save a empty file to it and count how many files are in that folder and display it in label which will say ' Application started for ' + files in the folder + 'times'. I think It could work but I get stuck when I want to save the empty file..I even made a RichTextBox for saving it but it just don't save even if I put text in the textbox..it just create the folde. I have made other Apps which creates folder on startup and then a timer which will save the file every X mins and it worked I even copied the code from that project but still it isnt working... Ill post my code below please help me.


Code:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim SAPI
SAPI = CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")
SAPI.Speak("Welcome and Have Fun.")
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory("D:Sys")
Threading.Thread.Sleep(50)
RichTextBox1.SaveFile("D:Sys
fo" + TimeOfDay + ".txt")
Dim s As String = "D:Sys"
Dim d As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(s)
Dim intFolders, intFiles As Integer
intFiles = d.GetFiles.GetUpperBound(0) + 1
Label6.Text = ("Program Started for " & intFiles.ToString & " time(s).")
End Sub
I tried to put the saving to a timer and it seems like somethings wrong with the saving :
RichTextBox1.SaveFile("D:Sys
fo" + TimeOfDay + ".txt")
..I am sute that it should look like this if I want to save a file which name will be the time it has been saved...or am I wrong?

Hide Form On Startup If App Occurred Because Of Windows Startup?

Jun 20, 2010

I can hide my startup form (or make it appear hidden) on startup. I can start my app on windows startup--through registry values--if the user checks a checkbox.

But if the app starts up on windows startup, I want the form to be hidden, so the program can just keep working without bothering anyone. If it starts up because the user started it, I want the form to be showing, because the user probably wants to change some settings or something.

Use The ToString Method And A Counter To Concatenate A File Name Into A String Variable From The Image.FromFile Method?

Dec 18, 2010

I have nine pictures that I need to animate -I need to use the ToString method and a counter to concatenate a file name into a string variable from the Image.FromFile method. Once the counter reaches its maximum value, and the last picture is displayed, the counter should be reset to zero or one depending on how the first image file has been name. Also a static counter variable should be incremented in the time routine. what I have so far -- I know what I have to do; however, I just do not know how to code this properly.. Right now I have this going thru a button procedure but it needs to go through a timer.

Replacement Shell Not Retrieving File Contents During Startup

Apr 20, 2012

I have an application I wrote that replaces Windows Explorer as a shell for Kiosk purposes. The application maintains two configuration files: one that is used and maintained for application purpose (app.config) and another that is stored in another directory so it doesn't get overwritten when the GUI attempts to update from a repository. When the application is ran in a normal environment it works perfectly. However when it is used during start-up or when switching users, the application can't seem to load the information in the other directory.

From the manager class
Private Shared rootCP As String
Friend Shared Sub loadConfig()
Dim dir As New IO.DirectoryInfo(Environment.CurrentDirectory)
[Code] .....

Another function later attempts to retrieve the data from the rootCP string but can only access it if the application was started after system start-up.

Does Express Permit Saving An Excel File As A Tab Delimited File

Dec 12, 2009

I am creating a shell for a FORTRAN application which reads a tab delimited text file.Because I am using Excel to manipulate data, is it possible to use the Excel Automation features to "save as" a tab delimited text file?The only method available seems to be a unicode text format, which does not work. Or is there another format that mimics tab delimited so that the FORTRAN application will read such a file without difficulty?

Text File Writer - Saving The File And Refresh The Page

Mar 9, 2009

I have an asp page with vb.net code that will query a database and present the user with the number of records that exist that need to be exported along with a button to export them. After you push the export button, it will prompt for a location and filename. But after that, it will not refresh the page with the new counts that now exist. Or in this case update the count to zero for the button they clicked.
[Code]
So how can I tell the page to refresh with the new counts. It almost seems like I need to tell the process to wait until after the user has finished finding the location and saving the file but I don't want to add a generic threading.thread.sleep in, I want it to only wait until they are done and then refresh the page.

Now the problem; the label will only work if it is clicked because the event handler is click.What I need is this to work automatically at startup. In other words, it should change the label's text to the random string of the text file on startup of the application.

(VB2010) Save The Values To A File Which Loads The Values In The Specified Labels On Startup?

Jun 2, 2011

lets say I have a form (form1) with lables a-z which are all designed with default text "0". So they all show 0 on program startup. which is fine. I also have a dialog with 2 TextBoxes; I want my program to update the default text/value on (only)form1 labels x, y and z to whatever was put into the textboxes when i press the OK button on the Dialog, so these specified labels show the 'new' value on next startup. Is it even possible or should I save the values to a file which loads the values in the specified labels on startup?
