I got a strange form in my project that doesn't close when I close it, so every time the user will use it, it will stay on system processes. The form is not even shown on the taskbar when it is loaded. It is just a regular form - System.Windows.Forms.Form.
View 9 RepliesWhen multithreading in VB, if you close the form while different threads are running, the process itself will not end. Is there a way I can force all threads to end, or end the process like in the Task Manager, when the form is closed?

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 3 RepliesI have a form that contains a crystal report viewer. When I open this form, it runs a report. I am using a .LDB viewer to tell who is logged into an access database. I noticed that when this form opens, the computer logs into the database and stays logged in. Even when the form is closed, the computer is listed as "logged in". If I run the report again, it just adds another instance of that same computer logged in. Therefore, it continues to pile up logins until the application is closed.

View 5 Replieshow to ensure that a form stays on-screen completely and cannot be dragged outside the bounds of the window.
This is because the user needs to be able to completely see the form without any of it being cut off.

View 1 RepliesI have an application that uses a NotifyIcon in the tray to hide/restore the application, as well as pop up notices to the user of application events. My application has a notification queue, and I use the NotificationIcon.BalloonTipClosed event to determine when to reset the balloon and show the next notification (if there's one in the queue).
This method seems to work great in both usual causes (user lets the balloon close itself when it times out, and user clicks "X" in balloon to force it to close), but there's a third case where BalloonTipClosed doesn't get called:Notification balloon pops up While it's visible, user right-clicks on notification icon to bring up context menu, causing the balloon to disappear
The BalloonTipClosed event doesn't get triggered in this instance - I figure it's a bug in the framework (I'm using 2.0), but does anybody have an idea around this? If I don't get this event, my application always thinks there's a balloon visible (I have a boolean that prevents it from displaying multiple balloons at once), and it will never show another icon again, as long as it's running.
We all probably know that the .NET Framework provides System.IO.File.Exists(). What I need is the best iron-clad method of detecting .File.Closed(). Which means no other processes are using the file. Here's my "tried and mostly true":

View 3 Repliesi use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start to run a process

I am trying to create an app that will perform actions on specific times (much like the Windows Task Scheduler). I am currently using Process.Start() to lunch the file (or exe) required by the task. I am initiating a process by calling a file (an .mp3) and the process starts WMP (since it is the default application), so far so good. Now I wan't to kill that process. I know that it is normal behavior for the Process.Start(string, string) to return nothing (null in C#) in this case. So I am asking how can i close WMP when I called it through Process.Start(string, string)??

I am working on a program and for some reason when I run it as an executable outside of debug mode, if I run the main subroutine of the program, the process remains in memory after being closed. Even though the form is closed/gone, it will be in the process list and I have to ctl-alt-del to remove it. If I exit right after opening the form without doing anything, it closes like normal. I am closing and disposing everything I can think of, and I've never had this problem before. This is how I am exiting, but the problem also occurs if the user "X's" out.
Me.Close()
Application.Exit()
I have a couple web file requests in my program, which is the only thing out of the ordinary (code-wise) for me, don't know if those are the root of the problem. I can't imagine this is the first time this has happened to anyone, but I couldn't find anything helpful with my search terms. Any ideas/common solutions? I can post sections of my code if it will help, but the whole thing is pretty long and I couldn't narrow down any potential problem areas.
I'm using system.diagnostics.process to launch a web page in the browser: system.diagnostics.process.start("http://........").
It works well. My question is how to get a return value? What if the browser has failed to launch the address or I'm not connected to internet? Can I catch it by any return value?
I have searched everywhere, and have not found an answer. I would like to know how to enable your form to detect if a process is started. Something like this:
If Process.Start("Process.exe") Then
MsgBox("Process is running")
Else
MsgBox("Process is not running")
End If
I'm upgrading a project from VB6 to VB2008.I have a routine that clears a combo box, named 'cmbDataTable' which could be on any form. I pass the form and the combo box is cleared.

I am making the interface controls on my forms to go from right to left using with RightToLeftLayout and RightToLeft which I have set the properties set to true.

View 3 RepliesI need a way to detect when a child form has been closed. I've created an MdiWindowList thing (but in the form of a toolbar with buttons, similarly to the Windows taskbar), and everything works great, but the method I have for refreshing the taskbar's windows has to be called when a child form closes. I've trying calling the method from the child's Form_Closing event, but there's a slight lag so whenever there's more than 1 window open the first one gets skipped (then the others close properly, since the taskbar is being refreshed first before the form actually closes).

Works fine the first time but after closing the form opened by the DC, if I try to open it again, throws an exception "Cannot access a disposed object".
Since I can still access any other form not previously showed I guess that the closing changes a status that allowed the form to be .Show, there is no F.Load , F.Activate after the exception doesn't seem to do anything. What should I do?
