To explain this, I can only use example. Let's say, I choose Index.doc on my openFileDialog. However, as you know, on the Processes tab under Windows Task Manager, it will display WINWORD.EXE. So how can I get WINWORD.EXE to display on a label / textbox / any readable tool after opening Index.doc? Perhaps this code snippet can get you a clearer understanding of my current code.

I have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).

View 12 RepliesI have an issue using Process.MainWindowTitle,Process.MainWindowHandle on some older VB6 applications. After Process.Start I use Process.MainWindowTitle to display in a listbox. The MainWindowTitle returned is not the Window Title but in fact the Project name of the VB6 exe.? I also store the MainWindowHandle to use the ShowWindow and SetForeGroundWindow API's. It would appear that the ShowWindow API does not work, but the SetForegroundWindow does. ie: if the VB6 app is minimized, showwindow does not restore, if it is NOT minimized setforewgroundwindow sets it to the foreground. The exact same code does work correctly for any other .net exe or notepad, only on these vb6 programs I am having a problem.

View 2 RepliesWhen I load my solution and compile it after first starting the IDE, everything works as expected. After changing source and recompiling, I get the following compile error:

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to delete a file, which prompts the error: "can not delete File in use by another process". I've been researching this for the last couple of days, and have tried every possible suggestion, I've come across, but still keep getting the error. I'm hoping someone might have a suggestion on what I need to change or rearrange in my code to get around this.
The program loads a group of files into a listbox, user selects which files to process, Each file is sent through the sub (process files) to be renamed, and then processed through external programs then removed from the listbox. Each file in the list HAS to be renamed the same in order for the external program to process it. This is where I'm getting the error message, as I need to delete the previous file before renaming the new one. Parts of my code may seem redundant, but its where I was trying every possible scenario of closing the process and or stream that's leaving the file open. [Code]

I would like to do the same thing in .net using WMI, and I tried to do this on my own, but my code is not working properly. If I specify my logon credentials, the process will execute on the remote machine and the code works fine, but I want the program to send the WMI query by using impersonation. I believed this was supposed to send the user credentials of the user using the program to the remote WMI provider on the remote machine. Here is the code I am using:

To summarize, my program uses a textbox to display the chatroom from a text file on the school network. When someone sends a message, it writes that message to the text box like so:My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(baseDir & room & ".txt", Message, True)
The baseDir is where the chat files are stored, and the room that the user is in can be altered by the user. created a scroll bar to use so when the chat room reaches a certain length of lines, you may use a scroll bar to view the whole chat. I realized that when someone sends a new message, the scroll bar then jumps back to the top of the text box. Is there any way to fix this, so that it will jump to the bottom each time someone types something new?
Dim lines As String() = IO.File.ReadAllLines(baseDir & room & ".txt")
Dim numLines As Integer = lines.Length
If numLines > 20 Then
