VS 2010 Console App - Enter Password And Display Text
Nov 12, 2010
I'm making a console app that uses your name and then asks for a password and displays the text. So the start is like this
18:36:01 [Info] Program is started.
18:36:01 [Info] Please enter your name.
NAME GOES HERE AND THEN ENTER TO PROCEED
18:36:04 [Info] Hello Xoslize, Please enter the password.
Password Goes Here and then Enter to Proceed
Some Text Goes Here
How do I do that? I mean the enter to type text, etc. Btw, how about using color on every word?
I'm making a custom control suited for handling passwords. I have created a control that inherits from a text box and I have implemented a lot of things so far. But what i want to do now is create a system so that when a user types It will display his last character typed for a X amount of time.Is there a way to turn only selected characters into password characters and still be able to get the password text from the Text property ?
1. say u put 2 in a text box called "Number" and2. when you press enter, 3. another object named "penbutton" to change it's text, that u can see on the picture to "write"..4. originally the book will have the text "Start" on itdo i changed the "number text box" enter event ? how do i do this?This is what i have so far
Private Sub xNumberTextBox_Enter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xNumberTextBox.Enter Me.NumbertextBox.AcceptsReturn = True
I am trying to make it so that when the enter key is pressed, a process or action is executed, and then the program waits for further prompting - For example the enter key is pressed again.
I have used the following code in visual basic 2008 for a windows form:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.Visible = True
[Code]....
Where I want to press enter a number of times and have different text displayed each time. Clearly when I run the sub above, pressing enter makes all the text appear at once. How can I make it so that one sentence or paragraph is displayed at a time?
How do you get a textbox being using for password entry to display the black circle that you often see in web forms, on the iphone etc etc?
I can change the PasswordChar property to an asterisk no problem and even copying and pasting symbols inserted into Word seemed to work - just couldn't find a symbol that looked like a bullet point!
Can this actually be achieved for a standalone exe, or is it something unique to web forms? Surely copying and pasting symbols from Word isn't actually the answer?
according to the assignment my program fills the requirements, however it's a real pita to constantly change the dates in the program every time I want to run different date values. Is there a way to have the user input a date? Initially I thought something like;
purchaseDate = new datetime(console.readline())
but this blows up. I get an error that sounds something like invalid data type cannot convert double to long... it's a very unhappy looking error heh
Anyhow, I've spent several hours digging through the MSDN Library but I'm not finding it which assumes it can be done in this format.
after reading a few other posts I don't want folks thinking I'm trying to be sly so...
Dim datePurchased, datePaid As DateTime Dim str1, str2 As String Dim compare1 As Double
I need to build an forms app that 'posts' or 'sends' text commands to an external console process, called Minecraft Server It is a java-based process, filename 'minecraft_server.jar'. Run by my computer via 'java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui'. The Process ID I assume would change each time it's run. This process can be downloaded here: [URL]
I am guessing that I need to:
1) find the Process ID for it, based on its process details, such as Command Line
2) figure out a way to 'post' these commands, commands such as "stop" into the console window
I cannot have this process launched by my VB project.
So the user enters a password to get into the system, i am just using VB code, no importing anything else. This is what i have so far, i got it so when a key is pressed it adds it to the variable and then displays an asterisc, just wondering how i would get it to remove the last character entered and the asterisc when the backspace is pressed Do Until count = 3 Or password = pass 'so the loop only goes around 3 times
count = count + 1 'this adds one on so the loop knows when it is 3 Console.Write(vbTab & vbTab & "Enter Password : ") Do info = Console.ReadKey(True) 'takes the key and puts it to the info variable
I was thinking of adding a simple bandwidth monitor to a console application and I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a line in the console window visible at all times. I could set something up manually to pass new console output into a method that would get the contents of the console, clear the console, add the bandwidth data on the first row, then rewrite each line of previous information back to the console, etc.. but that seems like a really hacky way to go about it, and I'd be limited to the amount of rows visible at once in the console window (no scrolling).

Note: I'm using VB express 2008 I would mostly like to learn about the console application. Like how to make it type in a command and hit enter by itself. The project I'm working on is a booter for my iPod (Long story) I would like to be able to- 1- Either click a button on a form and have the console pop up and input
I have an application that sends files to a Network drive that has been mapped as the "Z:" drive. When code first runs, it errors with "path cannot be found". Then if you open up MyComputer, and double click on the drive, windows asks you for UserName/Password. Once entered, if you run the code again, everything is fine.
So it looks like it cant find the drive b/c a username/password has not "unlocked" the drive yet.
How do I get vb to unlock the drive so I may transfer the file?
I found some stuff online but it seems like it self maps the drive. I'm just looking at applying the username/password to the mapped drive so I may copy.
When I originally set up my project I 'hard-coded' my username and password in so that I could access a remote DB2 database. Now that I need to publish it to other users they need to be prompted for their own usernames and passwords. I've gone to "My Project/Settings" and deleted the items from the string - but when I run I get the following message on the statement:
So far i have a normal login system but want to add 3 radio buttons.you have to enter the right username and password then check the right radio button..
QuoteI would like to display my password from database (MS Access)into datagrid but in invisible. Below is my coding retrieve data from database, but my password is visible,

It sounds confusing but it's not really. What I need is basically a way to emulate the console style text, without using a console. What I'm really doing is trying to do a matrix effect on my form background, by drawing symbols and moving them, alternating their colors (see this video for what I mean).
Is there a way to do this effectively with a timer and a draw event, with the timer calling the draw event and changing the intervals?
I have to create a form that I enter the price of gas each month over a year. I enter the price in a text box and click the enter button to send the price to a list box immediatley and use an array. I have the following code but I don't think it's working with the array correctly as it will let me enter the information but doesn't stop letting me enter after the 12 prices. I am really having a hard time trying to figure out how to set up this input for an array and make it all work.
