VS 2008 Starting A Form On A New Thread?
Oct 10, 2010Ok so my main form takes around 5 seconds to load i can't make it so that my load subs are on a seperate thread because too many cross thread calls being made besides i want a splash screen anyway i want a splash screen on a seperate thread that can update status while main thread is loading this way main thread carries the load subs and invokes status label changes in the splash form which is on another thread
this is my code
Dim SPForm As SplashForm
Public Sub LoaderSub(ByVal Splashed As Boolean)
If Splashed = False Then
[Code]...
what happens is the splash form shows and so does the main form but they both lag for 5 seconds (as if they are both on main thread) how do i make it so that the splash form loads from the new thread? I thought the way i did it that's what should happen...
EDIT: also why did code wraps failed to show proper vb code?

VS 2008 Starting An Application After Installation
Dec 16, 2010I have created a setup project that after the installation, starts the app that is being installed. To do that I have added an Installer class to the app I want to get started and I am using it's commited event to start the app (Process.Start("...myapp.exe").
While this works fine on XP, on Windows Vista the application gets started as a "System" user which makes some parts of the app missbehave i.e. retreiving special folders of the user etc...
This is the question: way to start myapp as the logged in user? Mind you I will not have the credentials of the users.

Jul 27, 2010I�ve had a problem iwht my app for some time now. It�s very slow and above all it takes forever to startup. I�ve been adressing som issues that has to do with the database behind it.Recently I noticed that the app is starting an instance of excel, which seems to be what�s taking it so long in the starting process. The app is using access as db, and the db has some linked excelsheets. The app is also running some code in excel, but it�s starting, and terrminating, separate instances for that.The linked excelsheets are also "live-linked" to another app (third party), fetching real time data via DDE I think.

Jul 7, 2011I have a "Please Wait..." form that I show when doing some long task. This works quite well. But I cannot seem to control the opening position of the form. Currently I am using:
WaitWindow.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent
WaitWindow.Show()
and this is just being ignored. The window opens at random locations. If I change it to CenterScreen, that works! But I don't want it center screen, I want it centered on the parent. Can I manually set the location? I am using VB 2008 Express and the wait form is a plain windows form.

[2008] Monitoring Programs Starting?
Jan 14, 2009First of all, Hi to everyone, I'm new here..I'm currently investigating a way of doing the following and seem to be coming up with dead-ends!I am trying to create a windows service that sits in the background waiting for programs to be started. When the programs start I want to be able to check a unique bit of information for each program (I believe GUIDs may provide this) to see what the program is. If the program is not allowed, I aim to provide a warning to the user and possibly close the program. The aim of the application is to identify when users are attempting to install additional software on to the computer so simply monitoring for a certain executable wouldn't work as msiexec is called for all MSI's and as I only want to stop blacklisted programs...this wouldnt work.

View 9 RepliesStarting Out With VB And Have Downloaded And Installed VB Express 2008?
Dec 18, 2009I'm just starting out with VB and have downloaded and installed VB Express 2008. I'm researching and trying to wrap my head around programming in VB before I start working on any projects. I have a little bit of experience with ASP Classic so some of the syntax looks familiar, but I can't get a handle on database integration. Let's say I am creating an address book. Each installation is a stand-alone (no network connectivity). How are databases used in this situation? Are they built using VB Express and packaged into the installer or can you create them separately (using either Access or MySQL) and then package them into the installer? What is needed to read and write to these databases? Are there extra bits of software that need to be packaged into the installer to allow access to the databases?
What if this application does connect to a centralized database (let's say a MySQL or Access database on a web server). Is the connectivity handled the same way? Sorry for so many questions, but I just can find the answers I'm looking for when searching. I'm not necessarily looking for the actual code to do this, just an explanation of how it's possible (or even a link to some examples/tutorials).

View 6 RepliesVS 2008 Starting Program In Already Started Instance?
Mar 14, 2011how to PROPERLY make a multi-tabbed or multi-window application that can handle file start requests.
For example, on startup my "Desktop Application" runs and sits there waiting for a task, either through the main menu, or for a file to display in a window. Now the problem is simple, how can I make this already running program load the dropped file (dropped on the executable (!)), instead of starting a new instance.
I understand I will have to check if the process is running, and if so, do some stuff with it. But the problem is passing the message to the active program.
Previously I used text files with paths/arguments in them, but I don't like the idea of the OS/program checking every 500 ms if a file is created in the "load this" folder...
Then I thought of sending a message using "Send Message", for example changing the text in a textbox and handle the "Text Changed" event, but is this reliable? Can any other program interfere with it?
So, basically I need the proper way of doing all of this. For example, Microsoft Visual Studio does this nicely, and no lag whatsoever...
VS 2008 - Windows Dialog Forms Hidden But Not Closed
Jan 24, 2010I am using a Windows Dialog form in my VB 2008 project. I bring up the dialog form no problem with the following
Dim resultNewInc As DialogResult
resultNewInc = frmDialog.ShowDialog()
If resultNewInc = DialogResult.OK Then
...some code here ...
End If
And in the Dialog Form, the OK button has code
Me.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK
Me.Close()
But there is one problem. If I call up the dialog form again, the form controls have the text values that were typed in during the previous instantiation and a class which is part of the form was not disposed. So it looks like the form is being "hidden" and not closed. I tried to use the code form.dispose but it didn't work.

View 5 RepliesVS 2008 - Stopping And Starting Timer In Background Worker
Oct 18, 2009I have a background worker which runs, at the start it stops a timer which has it's interval set to 500ms, at the end of the bgworker sub it starts it again. I've debugged and found out that the line that starts the timer up again (tTimer.Enabled=True) runs. However the timer does not resume. I'm don't know, but I'm thinking perhaps because I'm stopping and starting it on another thread it's not resuming properly or the sub it was attached to (via AddHandler) has been reset or something so it's running but not running the code in the sub it was attached to. If I never stop the timer in the code, it continues to run just fine, but I need it to stop at the start.
