VS 2010 - Calling API From Resource Or External Place
Jan 15, 2011
In a program of mine, I have a resource (which is a textfile). This contains also vb.net code, It is resource which is binded to an .exe, with the mainprogram that I have. So the main program calls the resource, and the resource bind to an exe file.
I have this line:
Declare Function GetProcAddress Lib "kernel32" (ByVal handle As IntPtr, ByVal name As String) As IntPtr
In the source.txt and I want to replace this whole line by a string(or word) which calls this line from somewhere else. For example in another source.txt. A textbox is not possible because this is not a vb form, but a .txt-file. Maybe I can create another resource, which IS a vb.net form, call it or something? In this case. I can create a textbox with this line that I gave above, And I can use it by: textbox1.text.

I am wondering if it is possible to call an application, say "notepad.exe" (among other application's that are already open) and setting focus on the same, so the user can readily start working on it.

I'm using a 3rd party DLL to access a proprietary Database. It's designed to invoke a function called "CALL_ME_FUNCTION" to make the datarows available to my program. What makes it difficult is the CALL_ME_FUNCTION is in the VB program and therefor, external to the DLL iteself. I've got the CALL_ME_FUNCTION written in my program, but how do you give access of it to the DLL? I've written lots of code that invokes functions inside a external DLL, but this is the first time I've encountered a DLL that needs to run a VB function.

I have an application (app.exe) that has a VB Module in its source code (Module1). The module has a function called Function1. I need to call this function from another application. The module is not marked as public, so adding a reference to app.exe won't work. I'm trying to use reflection (Assembly.LoadFrom()) but unless I'm way off base, the module would have to be a class in order for me to get an instance of it.
Please nobody ask me "what have you tried?" I tried a million different things and let's just say "none of them work." So I'm looking for someone that has specific experience with doing exactly what I'm trying to do. If you don't have that experience, please move on to the next question and ignore mine.

I have made a X,Y counter with a timer and a Label. Its work, but sometimes the X,Y values is not corret, as before.We say that a red dot has the X,Y Value 300,400. Then i close the program och open it and check agin. Then the dot can have the X,Y values 304,407. Now it's seems to be that the program has choosen that the red dot has the 304,407 as X,Y value. But i KNOW sometimes it's goning to chanes back.

Like I imagine everyone, I often have problems navigating my code because the flow can jump from place to place. For example, if my code calls routine1, and I then want to go to routine1's code, I know that I can click in the dropdown menu and it will take me to that sub. But wouldn't it be easier if I could somehow right click on the call to routine way and select something like 'take me there' which would transport me from the function making the call to the code for the function being called? Then it would be easy to hop from place to place.

I have a loaded combo box and was wondering if there was a way i could get the place value from it when it is selected. An example would be i have a combo box full of foods:
Apple
Bannana
Peach
Pear
if the user selects apple then i want to be able to get 1 from the combo box since that is the spot it is in. if peach was selected then i want to get the place value of 3.

Well I currently just finished my game, but it ended up around 1GB. Thus, I tried to revise the code to make it smaller. I am trying to get 2 form events under a single sub. For example, a sub for a town would have the shown event and the click event. However, when I try that it won't work.
The other way is to transfer variables and its data from one sub to another. But I dont know how to either Example:
Private Sub Number
Dim TheNumber as integer
TheNumber = 1

I want to create a Resource-Only DLL so that I can use it in conjunction with desktop.ini files.All of the information I've seen so far, however, has been with C++ libraries. The steps outline in that URL don't seem too difficult, but I would rather create it in VB since I'm a lot more familiar with it.
With that being said, does anyone know what I need to do in order to do this with VB? The C++ instructions don't carry over well.I've been looking at DropBox because they do what I'm looking for. Except instead of using another library, they use the DropBox executable and set the IconDex appropriately. That would be ideal of course, but I can't find a reference point for the IconIndex, for starters.

I made my irc client. It sends & receives to a richtextbox like this :
Well, you might know mirc or nns, there it is like this :
How can I do it the same, so all the text is at the same place, under eachother, like on the second screenshot.
& another question : How do I color words in a richtextbox ? I tried Selectionstart = Find("blablabla")& selectioncolor = color.red
but that selection dissapears when someone send a new comment.

I have a text file that has thousands upon thousands of URL's in it. I wrote a program to go to each of these links in succession (via For loops, obviously) and to grab a piece of information from them.Now to the problem. When I get to about 2300 or so, I get the error "COMException was unhandled by user code. The requested resource is in use. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700AA)" at the line "WebBrowser1.navigate(linkstocheck(i))"
I set linkstocheck = all lines of the text file. I get the same error even when I get the link directly from the lines of the text file. Does anyone know how I might go around this? Maybe catch the exception, wait half a second, then continue where it got the error?

I need to refer to some strings using an "indirect string" in the registry. It should be in this form:
@filename,resource
MSDN: "If the resource value is zero or greater, the number becomes the index of the string in the binary file. If the number is negative, it becomes a resource ID."How can I find out either of these numbers for my resources that only have names in VB? I also need the ID/index for the exe's icon.

I've added multi-language support to my application by setting the Localizable property of each form to True and changing the Language property to the desired one. Then I change the Culture.
vb.net System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE")
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE")
VB automatically creates the resource files and this works all fine, but now I need to do something similar for Strings and MessageBoxes, e.g. MessageBox.Show(My.Resources.Exit). Everywhere I read that I need two resource files in order to do this, but I can't find where to add a second resource file myself.
Every forum post or google search result I found says, go to 'Project -> Add Resource', but I don't have the "Add Resource" menu option. Or they say, right click on your solution and go to 'Add -> Resource (RESX)', but I don't have a "Resource (RESX)" menu option either. When I go to 'Project -> Add New Item', there's no 'resource' option in the list either. Am I blind or does VB2010 Express not have an option to add resource files manually?

I need to get a path from a resource file...
im planning to do a midi player; I've tried it via the included .NET and DirectX component, both needs a path to the audio file (String)....
how do I get a path from a resource file?
ps.: there's also a way to play via a stream-link/stream-player, where
my.resource.<filename> is enough, as this declares the directstream.... but I really need to get a path.
