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"?
I made a picture box and imported an image named Title.jpg. Later I made adjustments to the picture and imported it again without deleting the original(mistake). The new one had the name automatically changed to Title1.jpg. So I deleted the original image from resources and renamed Title1.jpg back to Title.jpg.
Now I got two problems. First, only Title.jpg is on the solution explorer, but Title1.jpg(along with Title.jpg) still pops up on the resource list when I click on Image property of the picture box. There's only the name and no picture, and I don't see a delete option. How do I get rid of it? Second, even though I changed the image to the new Title.jpg in the picture box, the old one is displayed when running the app. What's up with that?
I have a .NET WinForms application that has a single form that is set as TopMost so that it runs above all windows on the desktop.This form has a single button on it to launch some other application, such as:Dim app as Processapp = Process.Start("notepad")How can I then make the app TopMost above my application which is already set to TopMost?
So I have my form, I add one combobox (combobox1) and a button that says "Launch..."Button 1's
Process.Start(ComboBox1.SelectedItem)
When you select a program from the combobox (combobox1) and click launch, it launches that program, for example, cmd.exe (command prompt) when I click the button, it launches the command prompt, but if I select a game (for example chess.exe, for vista), it says it can't find the file, this is because the search for the file is only: WindowsSystem32, how can I change that? OR, how can I add a reference that searches the WHOLE Disk, not just WindowsSystem32?
[Code] That codes will execute the "xsentinel.bat". But, is there any ways that I can use to made the "xsentinel.bat" will running in background (Sys Tray)?

I have developed an application which launch an external executable. I want to be able that if I am using another one, like notepad, I dont loose the focus to the one called by my application. I have test it changing the startinfo.windows style ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ndowstyle.aspx ) from Normal, minimized and hidden.Every one I have used make notepad loose the focus to the new launched application. Is it there any way to launch an application and make this dont get the focus, in order I can continue working in other app without problems?
I'm working on the VB.NET VS 2010. We are creating a software distribution list. Currently a user needs to go to the Add New Programs wizard to view their available programs and then click install. We'd like to automate the clicking of the "Add" button to and kickoff the installation via a script.
I 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 have a program with an associated file type. However, when I double-click a file to launch the program, I can't figure out where that path was passed to the program.Initially I thought the file path would be in Environment.CommandLine, but the command line only contained the program path.I specified the file association using the Publish Options in visual studio like so: extension: .ext, Description: Some File, ProgId: ProjectName, Icon: SomeIcon.ico.
Is there any way to make Windows call a VB program instead of the default Internet browser?
What I want to do is to use a VB program with buttons down the left-hand side that when clicked will launch that URL in the browser windows of the form. This will prevent users from surfing in places they shouldn't but still allow them to get to the sites they need to get to for their jobs. These buttons could also change based on the username of the person launching the program.
But it all depends on being able to call this program in place of the browser when they click on a link in a email or somewhere else.
I am trying to startup a simple VB.net program that has a GUI from a service. I have tried a few flavors of Process.Start and none of them allow the GUI to work. I can get the farthest using:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start( "C:ProgramDataWatcherStartIt.bat") And from inside the batch: start C:TestTestStart.exe
Eventually I get an "Interactive Services Detection" dialog telling me that a message is trying to be displayed and when I click View the message, I see my expected dialog but the program won't run. I am Running on Win7 Home 64 bit. My Simple GUI program was written in VB.net VS2008. I set the service properties to "allow interaction with the desktop" but this does not help.Is there any way to launch a program from within a service that will allow you to interact with the desktop?
I'd like to know how you can actually select(highlight) a program from a list of programs displayed in a list box in Windows Form. I've done research and most results end up with openFileDialog condition or have to manually type the directory path. But what I have currently is the display of a list of programs in a list box(like Add/Remove Programs) but I'd like to have the user launch it upon double-clicking or clicking on a button(after a program is highlighted).
In short, it's like selecting a program in Add/Remove Program but instead of the Uninstall button, I want it to be a Launch button. I believe I already have the executable path behind the codes with the registry so I just need to know how you can select, and launch.
(Below contains an example of the kind of code I'm having)
Public Partial Class MainForm Public Sub New() ' The Me.InitializeComponent call is required for Windows Forms designer support. Me.InitializeComponent()
I'm having problems making an image properly "transparent" Dim x As Integer Dim y As Integer Private Sub PictureBox1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Click [Code] ..... The initial image is Transparent, however, once you create another image very close to it, there is a "box" around it. That "box" is what I am trying to get rid of. I have no clue on how to get rid of it. Yes, I have made the image itself, transparent, as the initial image is transparent. Just any image that makes contact with the other images show the "box".
I am creating a web browser as a school project. One feature I hope to include involves a splash screen check the state of a Boolean (True/False) at launch and then open the appropriate form. I know that I will need an 'If' statement in the code of a splash screen but I am not sure how I would go about making it do this.
I have seen various applications that can be launched from a link embedded in a web page. example: irc ://irc .freenode.net/#roomname Opens IRC and joins the room.
I've been looking for a way to create a launch sequence that runs the program while simultaneously minimizing the IDE to the tray.I've been unable to find even a discussion on such.
how to elevate privileges when my program executes code through command prompt. My program will already prompt for administrator access when it is launched. This is the code from my manifest file that will allow it to prompt for UAC admin permissions/credentials (to elevate permissions)
Gentlemen, I have an application made by a Vendor that sends a set of arguments to an application I am working on. I am unsure how to "launch" my application with these arguments. The vendor's app is a service that runs and launches my application when necessary. I'm assuming i need to modify the main form's constructor, but not sure.
