VS 2010 - How To Make A Button Opens A .bat File
Feb 19, 2011
I have a few questions. first, how do i make it so that when you open your program you can not open ctrl+alt+del = task manager? second how do i make it so that a button opens a .bat file? third Is it possible to a button open multiple Internet Explorer Windows? When i try to do this it only opens a bunch of tabs? and lastly how do I make it so that when it installs on a computer it installs straight to the start-up folder without the user knowing it, or how do you make it so it opens automatically on start-up?

I have a 'DataGrid' usercontrol on my simple little form and I press a button that opens a text file and populates the DataGrid like so,
A B C
1 2 3
3 4 4
3 1 3
Where A, B, and C are my column headers.
I also have a 'ListBox' on the form. What I would like to do is, allow the user to select one, two, or three rows (or all) in the datagrid, and press a button that will move the data from selected rows into my listbox (each row its own string in the list box).
I can populate the datagrib easy enough, but don't know how to access the cell data individually?

I have my desktop app, bound to an access database. I want now to improve a button so the user can make a backup of the *.mdb file.So i used this
If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
If FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath <> "" Then
FileCopy("BDGRACIA.mdb", FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath & "/BDgracia.mdb")
End If
End If
It works fine when i try the app from within Visual Studio. But when i install it it won�t find the database because it was installed elsewhere.Is there a way to control where the DB is installed and follow that route? Does this depend on the OS the app is installed? Or did I face the problem wrong and i should do something completely different with my button?

I am creating a document control system for standard operating procedures (SOP) in MS Access 2007. I have just started an online VBA class and have moderate MS Access 2007 experience. This thread is very detailed and lengthy.I have the tables set up and forms created for CREATE, SUPPLEMENT etc. I need to create a user interface so that when they open the database it pulls up a form that has buttons for "Start New SOP Process" and "Modify Existing SOP Process". Every step of writing an SOP is dated so that management can have outputs for target measures (to see why it takes so LONG to write an SOP from start to finish). After the user selects "Start New SOP Process" or "Modify Existing SOP Process" I am trying to have a Combobox appear with a drop down box of change types: CREATE, SUPPLEMENT, and REVISE.
Primary Key Explanation:Each document has a 3-part number comprising a 3-part PK. 1.001v1.0. Where 1 is (1-6) identifying what type of SOP: Document Type,.001 is the Document Series (a sequential number for each type of equipment--the 2nd SOP written for a document type 1 would be 1.002v1.0) and v1.0 is the version.
For example, lets say Document Type 2 indicates field equipment. The very first SOP written for a piece of field equipment would be 2.001v1.0. If a supplement is made to the SOP for that same piece of field equipment, then it becomes 2.001v1.1, if a revision is made to that same piece of equipment it becomes 2.002v1.0. If we buy a new piece of field equipment it would be assigned SOP document number 2.003v1.0.
After a document is changed (any part of the 3-part number is changed) the previous record is put into an archive table so that the technicians/general public have access only to the most recent version of each SOP. I am going to store them on Sharepoint with an Archive Folder and an Active Publications Folder and a link to the document is provided in the database. However, while a document is being modified (going through the SOP process of reviews and drafts) the users are going to need access to the previous version until the most recent version is approved (maybe I could have the document be archived upon completion of the Document Link control).
For each Combobox option I need a different "On Click" command to open the associated forms for each "Change Type". I have the necessary forms already grouped (using subforms and tabs) for each change type: CREATE SOP (has all of the forms needed when creating an sop), SUPPLEMENT SOP (has all forms needed when supplementing an sop), REVISE SOP (all forms for revising). I am trying to use If Then statements for this...
The modify part is the simplest. I think the Combobox for the "Modify Existing SOP Process" should consist of "Change Type" (CREATE, SUPPLEMENT, REVISE), "Document Type", "Document Series", and "Document Version". I want the "Change Type" to open up the correct group of forms with "Document Type", "Document Series", and "Document Version" finding the existing record that needs to be modified (i.e. so that the user can add dates for completed activities as the SOP process progresses: draft revisions, reviews).
The "Start New Process" is even more complicated. Each change type does more unique event procedures than just opening the forms (which I can't even figure out to begin with!!). The Combobox would still be "Change Type" (CREATE, SUPPLEMENT, REVISE), "Document Type", "Document Series", and "Document Version". However the following is what I am trying to do for each "Change Type":
When "Create" is chosen from the Combobox it will find the next record in the document series by the user selecting the correct "Document Type". I would like to add a formula so that it adds .001 to the previous record (giving the next sequential number), and force v1.0 to be entered and not able to be modified, since a newly created document can only be version v1.0. Then it would open the "CREATE SOP" form (all forms associated with "Create" compiled on one form by tabs and subforms--I already have this complete for each "Change Type") and require the user to fill out all document information controls (title, description, etc) before closing.
When "Supplement" is chosen from the Combobox it will find the most recent record by the user's input of Document Type and Document Series. I would like to add a formula so that it adds .1 to the previous Document Version. Then it would open the "SUPPLEMENT SOP" form. It would be useful if the fields for the document information controls (title, description, etc) were appended to this form but it is not necessary.When "Revise" is chosen from the Combobox it will find the most recent record by the user's input of "Document Type" and "Document Series". I would like to add a formula so that it adds 1 to the previous Document Version and forces the decimal value to be 0 (revise and create change types have to end in a "0"). Then it would open the "REVISE SOP" form. It would be useful if the fields for the document information controls (title, description, etc) were appended to this form but it is not necessary.Additional buttons I would like to have on the Main Menu Form--opened when the database is opened (includes "Start New SOP Process" and "Modify Existing SOP Process") would be:
"View All Publications" where a user can not edit anything, just gives them access to the current "active" SOP links. It would be a complete list of all of our SOPs. I think I could use a query "Retire" which would put an SOP into the Archive table/folder on Sharepoint. This would be useful in addition to the automated retiring of previous version in case we discontinue use completely of a peice of equipment or administrative procedures (yes we have SOPs for EVERYTHING!!)"Target Outputs" which would be a report showing the timeline of the SOP process so that management can see where we are spending too much time (my vote is for the design of the document control system!!)"Maintenance History" which would show all previous versions for each piece of equipment and administrative procedure."List of Archived SOPs"which would show all of our inactive SOPs, for the Quality Analysis/Quality Control person's benefit.

I have a Search form where the user can click a Button that opens up a rtb with every single word (12,800+) used in the King James Bible. Every word is Capitalized ("Thankful, Grateful", etc), so in my code, the user selects a word, then right-clicks and sends the word to the TextBoxSearch in lowercase. Now, if the RTBDisplay (where all search results go) is empty, then a msgbox pops up asking if the user would like to re-search the same word in Uppercase. If they click OK then the word in the TextBoxSearch (lets says: "thankful") is supposed to become "Thankful". But instead, the TextBoxSearch goes blank. I have tried many variations of code, and here is my latest (doesn't work):
If Me.RichTextBoxSearch.Text = "" Then
MsgBox("Would you like to search the same word but in Uppercase?", CType(1, MsgBoxStyle), "Re-Search?")
If CBool(MsgBoxResult.Ok) Then[code]....

I am trying to build a form that has a button on it that will open up a 2nd form that allows me to view and edit the connection string. I believe the connection string is also called app.config, and can see that in the Solution Explorer for the project.All I have managed to do is drag a button onto my main form and relabel it. I have no idea how to create code to access the connection string.

I need this Action.Form2 has another button that opens Form3.Is there anyway that I can make Form3's mdiparent the original MDIform by passing Form1.mdiparent value to form2 (without actually setting that value) that then passes it to form3?

The code below opens a file in Example 1 and writes on another file only the lines that satisfy the condition If times > 4 to another file. What I want to do is illustrated in example 2
[code]...
t= 2 comes from Subtracting t= 11 - t= 9 from the script in example 1. I have scripts with thousands of lines every time the program should automatically subtract the next value with the previous one and write the result into a new file starting from t= 0

I'm trying to set my software up so that when I check the checkbox for winRAR to be installed, it'll pop up a new window asking if I want to install the 32 bit version or the 64 bit version. I have no problem getting the window to show up but than if I try to exit out of the window and than uncheck the box (in case it was accidentally checked) it'll just open the window again. I am thinking I have to tell vb that when I uncheck the box it shouldn't do anything.
Here's my code.
(I know that the Nothing under the Me.chk_rar.Checked = False doesn't work but I left that blank once and it just opened a bunch of windows and crashed my system. I know it says "E:Music" right now but I just pointed it there so that there was something there normally it'll point to the other window. If I need to created a new Form for every little window that I have for instance the little window that I want to pop up, do I need to create a new form just for that little window to ask which architecture is needed and than giving the options for 32 bit or 64 bit.
Private Sub chk_rar_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles chk_rar.CheckedChanged
Me.chk_rar.Checked = True
Process.Start("E:Music")
Me.chk_rar.Checked = False
Nothing
End Sub

I am brand new to VB. I am using VB 2010 Express. I have a MS Access database and can read & display the data. However, when I enter a line of code to manipulate the data I get a "read only" error message in the project editor. I have checked the file and directory structures from windows and the command prompt. I have even used the "attrib" command to make sure the file was not read only. Then I put the following code in the form and it dispaly the read only message.
Dim infoReader As System.IO.FileInfo
infoReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo("C:zzz-devaccesswhitneywhitney.accdb")
If infoReader.IsReadOnly = True Then
MsgBox("File is readonly!")
End If
I am using the VB 2010 Express DataSource to connect to the MS Access database and not a connection string in the program.
