I have written a converting program, which converts binary files to ASCII files. (VB.net 2010). I need to have a functional "stop" button on the form and I was wondering if there was a simple command to make a program stop, exit all procedures, and wait for user input on the form.
It is not feasible to multithread this application, as it frequently interfaces with the form. Currently, I have a global boolean variable which becomes true if the stop button is pressed, and I have internal loops checking to see if the variable is true. However, I don't to waste CPU on checking a variable if it's not necessary.
Also, how can I hide a form and keep all information saved so I can bring it back up again?
For instance, I have form1 with "alpha" written in a textbox. Now when I hide form1 (Me.Hide), I would like to be able to bring form1 back with "alpha" still written in the textbox.
Currently, I hide it, and when I show it again, the textbox is empty.
I need to stop the execution of a program in VB.net. Within a repeating structure the program checks whether a variable is true or false. When the variable is false I need to stop the program execution. I do not want to close the program but simply stop it. One way I found was raising an exception, but I would not want to display the error message to the user. What is the best way to do it ?
Do If myvariable=false then throw new exception... 'Silent exception end if Loop until ....
my application has integrated an external library with long running math-evaluations. It happens that some calls to functions in this library start but do never come to an end.
Unfortunately I have no chance to look examine the behaviour of the library. So I got the idea to stop my function calls to the library after a timeout.
Has anybody an idea how to manage this an to control the execution of a function, i.e. to stop it hardly after a certain time?
Is there a command that will stop the execution of my program?
I have a service that is processes an exchange account via telnet every 10 minutes. During one point of execution the application could possibly have a response from the telnet session when there are NO e-mails in the folder, which would look something like this[code]...
So is it possible for me to just stop my application at that point since there's no point in continuing if there are no e-mails in the account?
I have a vb.net application that uses threads to asynchronously process some tasks in a "Scheduled Task" (console application).We are limiting this app to run 10 threads at once, like so:
(pseudo-code)
- create a generic list of 10 threads
- spawn off the threadproc for each one
- do a thread.join statement for each thread to wait for the longest running one to complete.
What i am finding is that if the code called by the threadproc contains any "Debug.Writeline" or "Trace.Traceinformation" statements, the thread hangs. I can see the thread in the Debug - Windows - Threads window, and switch to it, but it highlights the debug.writeline statement and never gets past it. is there something special about the Debug or Trace statements that make them non-thread-safe? Any idea why this would hang things up? If I leave the debug statement in, the thread never completes. If I take the debug statement out, the thread completes in less than 5 seconds.
I am checking to see if a textbox contains a number, or is null. If it is non numeric or null a message box appears asking the user to input the proper value. When the user clicks OK on the msgbox the program will continue to execute the code. I want it to stop executing the code and revert back to its default state as it would be if you just opened the program. What is the command for doing this so I can add to the if statement?
Dim numCheckV as boolean numCheckV = IsNumeric(Vinput) If numCheckV = False OrElse TextBox1.Text = "" Then MsgBox("Please enter voltage!") End If
I am working on an app and I am a bit confused w/ threading. I understand the point of threading but I am not getting when to use a background worker thread vs. a standard thread vs. a thread pool. Can someone shed some light on when to use which? Right now, I am trying code an app that does stuff initially in a sequential order and then eventually must thread (otherwise it takes forever). The problem I am having w/ the sequential stuff (and threading later) is that I need a button to be able to stop execution of code. [Code]
I did the background worker on this first sequential operation because when I tried w/ out it, the text box didn't update at all until the web page contents were retrieved. Basically, the text box change of "Starting." doesn't show up until the web page is finished processing even though the assignment to the text box happens before that code.
I am trying to make an application with a start button and a stop button on a stop watch program. These are the codes I am using but my seconds on the stop watch don't start.
Public Form Dim intSecond As Integer = 0 Form 1 Private Dim intSecond As Integer = 0 intSecond +=1
[Code]...
After I write my code and try to run the program, the seconds will not start,
Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.Visible = False Me.ShowInTaskbar = False[code].....
Notice: I used "End", to terminate the process.What I want to do is when the last function is called (Delete_AutoReq_PracNo) it terminates the execution of the application.
Reason...I'll schedule this application to ran from MS SQL Server at night. So realistically, doing all the processes I would like it to stop...Is what am doing sufficient to stop the application from running or there is a more robust approach..
I have a windows forms application that has no form and it runs in the background. It using a webbrowser control to get information off the internet.The program is that when I add the event handler:webbrowser.documentcompleted the program just shuts down. If i put a message box after the event handler then it works just fine because the webrowser has time to load the document. How can I do some like console.readkey that you would do in a console application?
I have an application in wich I have included a timer wich close automatically the application when no activity is detected.My problem is that when I make 'some activity' like accesing something, I do not know how can I reset the timer to 0.
I have something to ask again.. I develop a program that will send bulk messages but the problem is that when I load at least 1000 emails then I want to stop the application I cannot stop it. Is there any way to stop this application without closing the form? So that i can save the file on my listview? Here is my code upon send bulk emails. [code]...
I have created a small program but the code is quite big.
I have a start button that when clicked it runs the script in a private sub called start(), when it gets the the ens it calls the start() again to loop it and restart the script.
I have added a stop button, but how do i make the script stop ?
We are developing an application in VB.NET 2008. We break the application into smaller multiple dlls so that we can easily update the program at the customer end.We want to know that is their any way to stop the other person to use my dll in their application?i.e we want to lock the dlls such a way that the dlls will be used by us only and not anybody in their application.Also we want to block viewing of dlls code using any code reflector
I have an application in which there is a do...loop. I need the do...loop to perform some code and then stop for .1 of a second. When i try using System.Threading.Thread.sleep(), a wait cursot comes up and the application stops working. I was wondering if there was any way to get the thread to stop without stopping the application.
Guys anyone know how to stop or close a running program remotely through a vb.net program? am already aware on how to run or open one using the System.Diagnostics.Process.Start method. I would be needing it in my next projec
I believe I have found a solution! I will be continuing testing to make sure it DOES in fact work, but I'm hopeful :) I have detailed how I found the solution in EDIT THREE of the question.
For anyone wishing to know the full background behind my problem and what I have kind of tried as a result of input from this question, see this: [url]
I will be editing this frequently (>3 times a day most weekdays) as I progress my research and situation, so keep checking back if you are interested or have some information or knowledge of my issue :)
Quick Background:
I have this app I have made that can be crashed by changing my screen saver or locking my work station, and in general whenever a WM_WININICHANGE/WM_SETTINGSCHANGE message is sent to it.
If I can consistently crash my app by changing my screensaver, then SOME part of doing that is sending my app SOME kind of message (not necessarily a windows message, I mean message in the most general sense), which in turn is catastrophic to my application. Due to this, I am trying to find a way to block whatever message is causing my problem from being processed by my application. I am aware this isn't the best way to go about a solution, so you don't need to tell me. Look at the backgroung info or ask why if that bothers you (there is a good reason).
I have vb.net windows application. I want this app to be protected from being used remotly.Means some users on my network are using this app with remote desktop, some on internet use VNC viewr, team viewer or log me in to access this application.
I want to restrict this kind of access to my application. But I these users must be able to operate other functionality regularly. So can I write anything in my application so that i does not go over VNC viewer or team viewer or remote desktop
I wrote the following code to build a basic game that makes two cars race (randomgenerator) and let the user pick their bets on the end results. I've gone terribly wrong somewhere in that my cars only race halfway then get stuck behind the start line and the programme keeps repeating the beeping and the messsagebox.show and adding results to the 'incorrect' box.
The only way to terminate the application is to hit 'stop debugging'.

How can I stop my application quitting until a backgroundworker has finished? Its an updater, so basically I want the form to hide until the download is finished, and then exit.I've tried to make a setting to tell the app when it is still downloading, and on form closing check this variable, but it won't work. For some reason it still quits!The update window is in a separate form to the main form, so the user clicks 'Finish', the update form closes and the main form stays open.[code]
