VS 2008 - Creating A Shortcut With My Application But "Target" Line Is Being Cut Off?
Dec 10, 2009
I'm creating a shortcut with my application, and its working successfully, except that the "Target" line is being cut off. Not all the arguments are listed. When I run the target application of this shortcut using process.start and these arguments, it runs fine. Is this simply a limitation of the "Target" textbox? Is it simply not displaying all the arguments, or is it functionally limited in this way?EDIT: I have determined that it is simply not displaying the full string, but seems to work correctly. I would still like to fix this somehow, but if not, not a big deal.There are 259 characters in the textbox, including spaces. Doesn't seem like a significant number to me.Here is the code, but it doesn't really matter, it is working fine:

I need to obtain the target of a shortcut (.lnk) file using Visual Basic 2008 or 2010 under Windows 7.For Windows XP and VB 2005 I used the Windows Script Host Object model and DLL, like this:
Imports WSH = IWshRuntimeLibrary
. . . . .
Dim MyShell As New WSH.WshShell

I have taken over support for a VB.Net WinForms application. When this application is installed via a ClickOnce installation it generates a shortcut on the desktop. The annoying thing, though, is that if you do a right click and properties on the shortcut that was created, it is clear that it is not a regular shortcut as it does not have a target tab, so it is not obvious from the shortcut properties what this shortcut is referencing. So my questions relating to this are: what is the idea behind this kind of shortcut? Why is the the target for this type of shortcut hidden? (What are they even called? This is the first time I have ever seen a ClickOnce installation, so was somewhat surprised when I found that the properties tab was missing.) How do you find out what executable is being referenced by the shortcut?

How would I run an executable with arguments like you can add to a shortcut? Such as:
"C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommonarma 2arma2.exe" -window
I want to create a program where I can select these arguments from a list, press a button, and away you go, without having to type them yourself.
Is there any way other than creating a shortcut and then running it?

Under the MouseLeftButtonUp event handker store the first coordinates of the lines second endpoint. Then call the length method to obtain the distance between the two endpoints(the lines length). Fianlly display the line on the canvas and the line's length in the Length=Label. Below is the code I have so far. There are no errors, but when I run the application nothing happens.
Private Sub lineCanvas_MouseLeftButtonUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArg... Handles lineCanvas.MouseLeftButtonUp
Dim distance As Double
endPoint = e.GetPosition(lineCanvas)

I am currently trying to read the target line of a shortcut file, if you were to right click and view properties of a shortcut, you can see the target line which holds the path of the file for execution. I problem is the target lines have attributes/properties at the end of the target line. The code i have atm reads everything except the most crucial part, the data after the .exe.. For example
Say i have a shortcut file whose target line(if you view properties of the file) is as such:
\adminappsVbNetSQLScriptRunner.exe AccountNumberUsage
My current program reads in this part of the target line..
\adminappsVbNetSQLScriptRunner.exe
But i need the last part, its the whole point of the program...why it stops reading when it hits the .exe or how to make it continue till end of the target line. I eventually store each target line returned into an array which ill export to excel later on.The code used to retrieve the target line is below.
Public Function GetTarget(ByVal dt As System.Data.DataTable)
Dim path(dt.Rows.Count - 1)
Dim wshLink, strPath, wshShell
Dim rc As Integer = 0

I have a simple .net program that would only require .net framework to run.There are no third party dll or references. This program does some work and creates a shortcut.To my knowledge , it requires IWshRuntimeLibrary to create a shortcut. Because its com based ( windows scripting host object model ), adding a reference to it creates an interop file in my bin folder.So when the application runs , it looks for Interop.IWshRuntimeLibrary. dll in the current location.It works correctly if interop file is there. But the file will not be present in the user system.

I have an .exe application written in vb.net. When I make shortcuts to the application, say on desktop (or anywhere else) and then click on them I want to programatically get the path to that shortcut, ie. C:/Users/xxx/Desktop/shortcut.lnk.
I want this so I can store the pairs shortcuts : (program + different cmd args).

How would I create a shortcut of my exe file when its run, I can work out the directories and stuff but how would I actually create the program that it starts when windows boots?
I have done quite a few google searches and have found nothing to interesting or useful but I did find out that there is two main ways of doing this registry or startup folder and im more pulled into the startup folder because I dont think that I yet know enough about controlling the registry to be confident of using code like that, so I fall to my other alternative using the startup folder to trigger my program, I read somewhere that this doessn not work for vista but im not sure of that. What I would like to as is how you actually create a shortcut as I cant really understand VB6 Code very well its all I could find.

I want to drag-drop single text items from ListView-A to ListView-B (both are in Details mode), but can't see how to read (and hence highlight) the index of the line in ListView-B when the mouse is hovering over it. Easy in a ListBox, but the PointToClient > IndexFromPoint features don't work with ListView controls and I just can't see another way .

Let's say 10 desktop shortcuts, all with different names/icons, point to and can start the same exe application from the same directory. Is there any means for the application to know the distinct name of the shortcut that was doubled_clicked. Also is there any means for a running application to know if it was started by command line, by a double_click on the exe, by a double_click on a shortcut that points to it, or by another process' call?

Is it possible to create a custom start menu shortcut link?
The only possibilities I see in the setup project are shortcuts to folders or primary output.
Update:
What I ended up doing is creating a custom action on commit that dynamically creates the link using Windows Scripting Host. Then on uninstall, removing the link.
