View 2 Repliesi created a windows blocker to prevent users access, and only give access to the computer for a certain time if they pay....In the block state taskmgr can not be accessed also no other method can close the blocker. but once the computer is unblocked for use it become vulnerable only to the taskmgr since i have to give access to the taskmgr when the program is not blocking access. Is there anyway to prevent my program from being KILLed in the taskmgr or is there a way to restart the blocker if the user KILLs the program?
View 14 RepliesI am Matthew and I'm extremely new to coding and any sort of scripting language; yet I am highly interested in programming and want to learn lots about this subject. So to start myself off I am trying to create some applications which I could use in day-to-day life to just basically make life easier.So the first program I am trying to make I am already confused and not sure what the heck I have to do in order to get it functioning, I've looked on lots of videos on you tube for tutorials and they have all done a great job but some videos just don't answer my questions.When I click a button and "Form2.Show()" appears, how can I make it so that when I type text in a list box in form2, it doesn't disappear when I close it? Then once I have known done that, how can I make it so I can choose a random string of text in the list box on form2 to show up on the click of a button on form1? Then a final question is, How do I prevent fields being reset in form1 & form2 on program close? Also, is it ok for me to make a thread asking 1 simple question? or do I have to ask a handful each time to save threads or something?
View 30 RepliesMy following code hangs my VB IDE. What could be the reason. I am of the opinion that by 'sleep' I am avoiding a tight loop and so the program should not freeze. What should I do?

I am making a program that loads, edits and saves 5000 rows x 100 columns of data. The data is stored in a datagridview. I use these commands to write the file:
dim z as integer
dim z1 as integer
fileopen(1,"c:drawermyfile.txt",openmode.output)
for z=0 to datagridview1.rows.count-1
[Code] .....
Every time I issue this command the whole program freezes until the computer is done writing the file. Is there some way I can get it to write this file without freezing up the program? Or, perhaps a better way to write this large data file?
I just put a button and a textbox on a form to try and learn to multi thread, i think i've done it correctly. but it still appears to freeze for a little bit just before it attempts to display the data. i think it's the invoking. Is it normal / have a done something wrong?

I'm making a small version of Spy++ and i would like to recreate the function that finds windows by dragging your mouse over it. Now that is pretty easy but one little annoyance is some windows minimize or loose focus ect when you bring the mouse pointer over them.
I would like to know if you can stop a program from gaining focus or minimizing. And i know i can get the handles of open windows by the EnumWindows function?
I am trying to get my program to read async so it doesn't just freeze up while it fetches the data. I have:
SR = New StreamReader(WC.OpenReadAsync(New Uri(url)))
Dim html = SR.ReadToEnd.ToString
It keeps throwing the error "does not produce an expression". I remember trying this in the past, only to have the same error.
I have a small problem with my application. When the system starts up, the program starts with it, but runs hidden (registry key with paremeter). The program also has a GUI.I want it so that when the user clicks the desktop icon, it does not start a second instance of the executable, but instead reveals the currently running background process. Is that possible?i.e. when the application is started with the "-startup" paremeter, it loads a hidden form2, and closes form1. When the desktop icon is clicked, it loads form1, while form2 remains hidden.

View 2 Repliesthe Datagridview is included in first tabpage. first tabpage is the search form and the second tabpage is the record detail view. user is switching and working between those two continuously.
The problem is that everytime user selects the tabpage1 the datagridview repaints itself. there is about 6000 rows in datagridview so it takes about 2-3 sec to paint itself. I know the delay is normal and can't avoid that. but it affects the tabpage selection. tabpage1 isn't selected completely until the Datagridview1 finishes it job. in this time the tabpage1 and tabpage2 gets combined and confused.
is there a way to put datagridview processing in backgroundworker or something that doesn't affect main UI ?
Title pretty much says it all. Does anyone know a way to to prevent a computer from entering a low/non-processing mode while the program is running? I don't care about monitor modes, screen-savers, hard-drive spindown, etc (in fact, I'd prefer to leave those alone; I like it that it shuts the monitor off after a time period).Basically, I have an industrial program that needs to continually monitor a PCI card it uses for IO; and this activity alone isn't enough to convince Windows not to go into Sleep mode. We normally just shut the power-save features off, but we had an incident where a technician forgot, a customer's machine went to Sleep after the end of the shift, the pumps stopped recirculating, yadda-yadda big mess.

View 7 RepliesI have a button and various other controls that when clicked, calls as sub. However if the user clicks the button or any of the other controls multiple times, the sub appears to 'stack up'. For example, if I click the button 10 times, and then some of the menu items that trigger it 20 times, the sub would 'stack up' and execute 30 times total. How can I have the sub cancel calls to itself if its called again? I basically only want the latest call to it to count.
Heres code to reproduce it. Just a button on a form.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
