I am trying to check for certain processes that is running and then inform the user of those processes via textbox like "The programs; -name of the processes running goes here- are running". [code]
I have a need to search for a specific process in task manager and attach (dock) my application to the window for that process. I have this working just fine. The problem I'm having is that sometimes this process may be running more than once (for example: running two Internet Explorers would put two iexplore.exe entries in Task Manager).
Is there a way to get the one that was opened first? I'm not sure how they get "sorted" in the Process list, but currently I am retrieving the first occurrence of the process and docking to it, but I'm finding that it isn't always the correct one. How can I make it always dock to the process entry that was opened first?
We recently have one problem started where we have two processes monitor the same queue, but the diff b/w both is, one does the PEEK only and the other process it as soon as the message arrives (event driven). Do you think that pointing these 2 processes to the same que cause any problems OR are there something special sync things we need to do?
Basically, I'm trying to get a program to behave in the following way:First instance of the program opens up on PC1, opens a file for Read/Write access and then acts as the master program, doing a bunch of work on some other files I don't want a whole bunch of users accessing at once.Second instance of the program starts up, tries to open the file for Read/Write access, fails, enters Slave mode, opens the file for Read access, and periodically reads the status of the other files from this file.
That's the plan, anyway. If anyone can suggest a better way to handle the master/slave decision-making.Anyway, as a lead-up to implementation, I've got two instances of Visual Studio open. One is running a project called "GetFile", the other is running a project called "TryGetFile"."GetFile" has a Private myStream As IO.FileStream object and opens the test file using this line:
This works fine and, as far as I can tell, should leave this file accessible for further Read/Write access by any other process, which is fine for this stage of the testing."TryGetFile" also has a Private myStream As IO.FileStream object, but it attempts the following open code:
This doesn't work at all. I get an IOException, which reports that test.txt is opened by another process and I'm not allowed to play with it.Basically, I don't see what the problem is; I don't think "TryGetFile" is asking for any file access which "GetFile" forbids it from having. As far as I can see, "GetFile" shouldn't be forbidding any kind of access at all...
I have a quenstion to discus: I'm using Process.Start() and somettimes it's not worked properly. I meanin start application instantly or with random delays, even with hang's. So, as i wrote in title, there is a some proper way to launch another aplication?
I'm trying to write a some sort of launcher for user specific application based on createble profiles. In each profile user can set a file name (*.exe) with must be launched one or several times.[code]....
I do computer repair for my local store and I have been noticing a ton of computers coming in with a fake antispyware program called antivirus 2008. I am trying to make a program that by clicking a button I can end the processes it loads. For now I just need to kill these processes.[code]...Kill Multiple Processes By Clicking Button?
I have a sub-procedure which I want to run a different process, depending on what is currently running. I thought the easiest way to do this was by using an ArrayList of each of the campaign details & adding an 'Inuse' field to check to see if the Inuse field is set to 0 or 1. The problem that I have is that when running the process it is all happening at once & the integer hasn't been changed before the next thread kicks in so my threads are running the same campaigns. I tried to avoid the problem by adding a Thread.Sleep(100) delay inbetween starting threads but this led to exactly the same problem.
Here's an example of what I am trying to do: Imports System.Threading Public Class Form1 Private Campaigns As New ArrayList Private ProcessRunning As Boolean = False Friend StopProcess As Boolean = False [Code] .....
I have a snippet below how to kill multiple instances of different processes by the name of exe file For Each processName As String In {"notepad", "word", "excel"} Dim pProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(processName) For Each p As Process In pProcess p.Kill() Next Next But if user will change the name of exe file it will not work. So the question is how to kill them by window title which contains {"notepad", "word", "excel"}?
I have created a client and server application where the clients will be run on multiple computers while the server application will be run on the host computer in the same network. So far I am able to list all the connected clients in a ListView on the server application with the IP addresses and computer names of the client computers.
I am trying to make an application which will list all processes in a string when it starts. After it has listed them all I enable my timer, and in the timer there gets checked if the process is in the process list (string), and if it isn't it will add it to my listbox. The only problem is, it's not working, it's never adding an item.
vb.net
Public Class Form1 Dim AllProcesses As String Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load 'The first check For Each p In System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses() If AllProcesses = "" Then AllProcesses = p.ProcessName Else AllProcesses += "|" + p.ProcessName End
I have my menustrip with the standard edit items. I know I can do this:
If TextBox1.Focused = True Then TextBox1.Undo() ElseIf TextBox2.Focused = True Then TextBox2.Undo() 'Ect. Ect. Ect.
End If until I type out every textbox. However, I have like 30 textboxes and don't want to type out every textbox to see if they have focus. Is there a work around for that?
I want to check 4 labels for text, if all four dont have a value, change text in a label to "please enter all four values" if 4 labels have values, remove all text from label.
Im trying to check multiple services on different servers. The idea is that every time a client clicks on a checkbox for the specific server and press the "check service" button it will check the status on the service and if it's not running it will restart the service and so on for the rest of the servers.[code]
This sounds simple and I'm sure it is. I have a form with textboxes and combo boxes within a tabview that has 8 tabs. All the data is loaded from a database. The user has the ability to update these controls and then update the record in the database. Is there a way that I can check an entire tab view or group of controls for value change other than using an if statement to cycle through each control? Something to the effect of If TabControl changed, then execute...
I have 4 checkboxes available, what I want is the user to be able to select as many of the four checkboxes.Each of the four checkboxes have a value, but when i set the code it only selects the first checkbox and only adds the first checkbox i select to the totals, rather then all selected checkboxes.The values have been set in the module and all the values appear correctly, they are just not adding all together when i select more than one checkboxHere is what I have in the calculate button.

I made a simple "restarter" app... However, I need to close multiple instances of an application. For example, if I have three windows of paint, or three windows of Word open, how do I check if it is still open before I open a new instance?
I have a method that saves form controls data to a text file, including its text. IF a label has multiple lines, this breaks the text file writing multiple lines to it.I was instructed to simply ignore multiple-line labels and don't include it in the file, but I don't know how to check whether or not a label has can multiple lines or not so I can throw in an 'if' statement.
i have a program where the high scores will be saved in a txt file. of course, if the file is already in use, saving the text file won't work. is there an if statement i can do to check if it is in use? or could i check the last access time, and the last modify time and if the modify time happened after the access, i know its closed, and if the access time happened after the last modify time it is still in use?
I am using this code right now If i.Contains("1") Then MsgBox("2") Else End If
But what I want to do it have it check multiple text like this If i.Contains("1") or ("2") or ("3")Then MsgBox("H2") Else End If But that doesn't work?
This is for my game but posted it here as it doesn't specifically relate to game programming. Basically I have an integer variable called FoodIndex which gets incremented throughout the game. Every time it gets incremented I want to test if it is a multiple of 20 so that I can place A bonus item on the screen.
I would like to disable a specific items from DropDownList. I have below code but it does not working. So, need someone to told me what I'm doing wrong. DropDownList have 5 items.And, I'm getting error:Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.Parameter name: index
Protected Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged Dim X As Integer = 0 <> 1 DropDownList1.Items(X).Enabled = False End Sub
But, if I add a different value for X, then it disable 1st and 2nd item. Protected Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged Dim X As Integer = 0 or 1 DropDownList1.Items(X).Enabled = False End Sub My goal is if I would have a 365 items in DropwDownList to disable items for example between 120 and 150.
I have 5 checkboxes in total.I want to check how many checkboxes have been checked.I dont want to write checkbox1.checkstate,checkbox2.checkstate and so on...How do I accomplish this effectively?
