I am working on a Windows Forms application which is primarily to be used as a command line application with an optional GUI in the case where no command line options are specified. The program is intended to be a lightweight version of a larger program, intended to perform a couple of very specific tasks without requiring all the initialization required in the larger program.To this end, I am planning on using Me.Startup in applicationevents to process the command line options and determine if the Startup form should be displayed or not. In the case where the startup form should not be displayed, what is the method to close the application from within Me.Startup Application.Exit, Me.Close, and others are not available from within Me.Startup. My searches online have shown that I can use e.ApplicationExit() from Me.UnhandledException, but this method is also not available from Me.Startup.if anyone has any better ideas on how to accomplish what I am trying to do, those comments are always welcome.
I have just done my program, just skeleton not completely, the final problem has not been solved up to this time.When I run my application, the Icon of its will be showed at TaskTray. I would like the icon is there when I exit fom of application and then If I double click on the Icon, the application will be showed.
I'm having a bit of a problem getting my application to close properly. Basically I have one main form from which all other forms open. If a user tries to close that main form, I want to bring up a MessageBox asking if they want to exit the application.However, when I try to do that it asks the question twice. It seems that the Application.Exit() is triggering the FormClosing event again for some reason, but I don't know of another way to exit the application. BTW, the main form isn't the startup form so I can't use the option to close when the startup form closes.
When I run my application and click the exit button, in debug mode I can still see my application running. How can I stop this? I don't want to forcefully end the application, I would like to find out what section of code is still running so I can end that instead abruptly ending the program.
Is there any other way to create a shortcut of an application programmatically or just make the application run every time windows loads up..I got this code of google but I am not too happy with it because it requires some assembly that other users might not have and I get an error when launching this feature on other computer could not load file or assembly interop.IWSHruntimelibrary..[code]
i was wondering if i can copy my application to the startup folder in windows when the form loads. The path i want my app to copy to is: C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersStart MenuProgramsStartup
i deleted my previous start up form to be replaced by another one but each time i launch the application,the deleted start up form is still displayed.i dont know from where this deleted start up form is being loaded.
I have recently implemented to following code on a good deal of my forms.
Public Overrides Function InitializeLifetimeService() As Object Return Nothing End Function
It has worked great to solve some of my odd application hangs when the application has been running > 1 week.However, when the user closes the program I now get an Application Crash screen.how to stop this? how to put it back to "normal" with a global variable?
Public Overrides Function InitializeLifetimeService() As Object if readytoExit then ' Return... not nothing?[code]......
i will just use Environment.Exit(code) to exit an application. (usually through a button click) , but i would like to know is it the proper way to exit , ie, releasing memory etc etc...
I'm creating an application in VB.Net (.NET 2.0) I've put on Exit button on the SplashScreen. When user wishes to click on that, the application must get exited. Actually when the splashscreen is displayed, a very lenghty method is executed behind the scene. But when user presses "X" on splashscreen, i want to exit whole application irrespective of its current execution state.
I have an app which has been working fine for about 2 months. Yesterday, I carried out a maintenance session which was mainly simple bug fixing and moving my code into regions to help navigating through it. Along the way, 2 things have started happening which has totally broken my app.
MSDN states that Application.Exit does not cause the Form.Closed or Form.Closing events to fire.[URL]..However, my Form.Closing event is firing immediately after Application.Exit which is in a button click handler on the form. The code is like this:
I have an app written in vb.net. When I close it (I've tried me.close and application.exit), it doesn't completely close. Ie, I still see it in task manager.
I have a single windows form application that is running in system tray icon.If the user press X button of the windows form a messagebox is displayed with Yes and No ( Yes ->close the form---No->keep the form running in system tray icon).I was thinking to prevent the scenario when the user open another instance of the application when there is already an instance running so i have used this code :
If Process.GetProcessesByName(Process.GetCurrentProcess.ProcessName).Length> 1 Then MessageBox.Show("Another instance is running", "Error Window", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) Application.Exit() End If
The problem is that when i want to test this the message is displayed but after i press ok, a new messagebox appears (that one from Private Sub Form_FormClosing ).If i choose NO i will have to instance running!I have read that Application.Exit fires the Form_FormClosing event.Is there any possibility to cancel the triggering of the Form_FormClosing event?'this is the formclosing procedure
Private Sub Form_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing Try Dim response As MsgBoxResult response = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to exit", CType(MsgBoxStyle.Question + MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, MsgBoxStyle), "Confirm")
I'm wondering if there is any way to exit an external batch application. My project is to make a server auto Restarting program, and the application that runs the server is titled runserver.bat I am using Visual Basic 2010 Beta 1 (with .NET 4.0 framework),
We have an application that allows custom UI and interaction via SDK. A DLL is developed for this purpose using VB.Net and the SDK. An object variable refers to the application and there are some other object variables for components within the application.
I have just started a simple project in VB 2008 express (having previous experience (not much though) in VB6). At the moment I have only 1 form and when I click on the red x close button the form closes but the process is still running in task manager. I have the following code which I assumed would exit the program and terminate the process but it doesnt seem to work[code]...
