View 11 RepliesI am trying to activate Rosetta Stone on a button click (button4). It opens but gives me an error. 2123 is the error code. I guess this may require knowledge of Rosetta Stone more than VB but I have found no luck searching google. Is there alternative code to what I'm trying to do?
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Chrome_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Chrome.Click

I was wondering if there was a way to launch a string of programs from a button.I want to be to launch, say 6 programs. Once the first one is done, the code has to know that the first program is done doing it's automated process and then continue.In VB 6, I used the Shell Execute command to launch a program, but it doesn't work in Vb.Net and I wouldn't even know how to make it launch consecutive programs.

View 7 RepliesIt's probably the most basic of things, but all I can find is how to launch a program, and not with the interactions I desire. Any tips as to the terms to use to search for answers, or links to topics regarding questions similar to mine, would be very appreciated. I have a wealth of info to read through, but I could use your knowledge to save myself time.Here is what I am trying to do:
Use a Button (A) to Launch a Prompt where User Selects Directory Path to an executable Program. The Selection is to be Persistent after the initial selection (saved in a settings file i assume?), and the Selected Path (or just "programname.exe") is to be Displayed in a Text Field (B). Launch Selected and Indicated Program via a Launch Button (C)
I am working on an application that needs to launch Microsoft Word, and then resume when the user closes Word. The code below should work, but it does not. I get an 'object not set to an instance of an object'
1 Dim pInfo As New ProcessStartInfo
2 Dim P As New Process
3 pInfo.FileName = "C: estLLR.doc"
4 P = Process.Start(pInfo)
5 ''# Here is where it goes bad
6 P.WaitForInputIdle()
7 P.WaitForExit()
I put p into the watch window and it shows a a system.diagnostics.process in the watch after line2, but after line 4 it return to NOTHING. The process launches, but I can not monitor it any longer with lines 6 & 7. Is this a 'limitation' of Visual Studio 2010 or am I making an operator error? The MS Help does not show process available in the 2010 version (it is in Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008).

I am switching from Winforms to WPF in April. I am also going to be in attendance at the Visual Studio Launch in Las Vegas.I have a real need to get up to speed quickly in WPF, so What sessions are going to be the best use of my time?I've got some picked out already, but I'm looking for some more advice on how to wade through all the marketing fluff and get some real educational value out of these few days. I have not been to one of these events before, so I don't really know how much is marketing hype, and how much is solid content/A couple of the workshops look interesting (VPR02 and VPS02), but I don't know enough about the actual content of these to justify the extra expense right now. I do have WPF learning planned other than just these few days in Vegas, but since I'm going to be there anyway, I want to learn as much as I can in the time available.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to launch perfmon /res on a Windows 7 (32bit) install using VB Express 2010. When I use the line:
shell("C:WindowsSystem32perfmon /res", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
All I get told is that the file doesn't exist. IT DOES EXIST! ITS RIGHT THERE! If you try in cmd it works, if you go there in explorer it works, if NASA used an orbital platform connected to my c$ share and tried, it would work. If you get VB to check for the existence of the file using an if statement it finds it, then tells me its not there the very next line when I use shell to run it.
i just recently started programming VB.net 2010, My background is PHP so programming is what i want to do.I have a program im making, kinda a project for myself.I have got alot of the design elements made, but im stuck on some of the items that i would like created.
1. I have Combo boxes, the names of them are "wowlocation", "wowreagon". these all have default values. How would i go into the registry get the values and if i change it it would auto put it into the registry.
2. I have a file in foulder named "realmd.***" when i choose my options from the boxes it must put what i selected into the file (The file is a normal txt file with the ext *** only), it has to pull the "wowlocation" and "wowreagon" from the DB, when it does that it is able to pick the right thing to put on,There is only 3 Values, US, EU and WTN, each will have its own text to put into the file, how would i Open that Specific file and then write the values i choose?
3. How do i make a Image Launch a Program? (The location of the file is in the registery, basicly "wowlocation/wow.exe" ?
4. I have a Status Image, i have a spasific IP, I need to check if its responding, if not itll change a image to down.png and if its responding itll change the image to up.png, picturebox name "statusimg"?
1. I have a button, and registry entries, each tell me what version and where it is located.
Example : (reg path = HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareTNL)
Path = c:program filesmyprogram
Regan = us
The program its launching is called caw.exe. but it requires diffrent locations in a file named realms.*** file to work properly. Basically if Regan = us, do this, else if regan = eu do that, else if regan = tu do this. I need to basicly erase everything in that file and replace it, the file location is located under :
"PATH"/data/en"Regan"/realmlist.***
The PATH and Regan need to be replaced with correct paths.
2. After it has finished modifying the File it saves it and then Launches
Path/caw.exe
I want to allow a user to click a button that will launch Windows Explorer and go straight to the My Pictures folder when I don't know who the current user is.

Just wanted to start out by saying that I am completely new at this whole programming thing. I am pretty sure the answer is very simple and staring me right in the face but I can't figure it out.Basically, what I want to do is check to see if a directory exists and if it does not, then create it. Then I want to populate a list box with a list I have stored in a text file.
The problem I run into is that while my program runs, as far as I can tell my Subs do not. I just want them to run on their own when the program starts but they don't.

Imports System.IO

(Total noob...vb'ed a little bit over 10 years ago...I think...getting back at it...forgot EVERYTHING...currently using VB 2008 Express before/if shelling out the cash for a full version of Studio.) I created a very simple windows form application (.NET 3.5). In design mode it has a text section on top and two buttons below it.

I try to figure out how I can launch an executable, a little software that have a window and that doesn't have the option to be minimized into the systray. I know how to start a process, how to minimize the current application into the system tray. But I can't find any example how to do it to a process.
There is a way to start a process, hide his window and make it appear with his icon (or a new defined one) into the systray and when we double click it his widow appear and when we minimize it it return to the systray ? For that part I think I will have to capture the process, subclass it to redefined his minimize action, I am right ?
ok so i dynamically create a wsf for running an automated telnet session that works great!!(finally!!) but auto executing the script from my code is proving difficult for whatever reason.
I have tried:
Shell("C:shutoffscript.wsf") this produces this result.
also tried setting a bat file that launches the script and launching it as well using shell every time I launch it I get an error in the script that works just fine executed outside my code.
using outfile As New StreamWriter("c:" & "shutoffscript.wsf")
outfile.Write(sb.ToString())
End Using
MsgBox("Script built press ok to execute")
Shell("C:shutoffscript.wsf")
I think this has to be some sort of permissions error right? Since both errors tend to not be able to find the file. Just not sure how to fix it.
