View 1 RepliesI want to launch System Restore through my program. I figured out the destination of this feature in Win7 is: WindowsSystem32control.exe sysdm.cpl @0,4
So I wrote this
Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process
Private Sub CreateASystemRestorePointToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
[Code]....
Problem is that it will not work if I have anything behind .exe And "sysdm.cpl @0,4" is vital for this to work, otherwise I just launch Control Panel, which is pretty useless for what I want to achieve.
So how do I include commands like those in Visual Basic?

Since the coming of Windows7 at our office we have sometimes the issue that the print spool is crashing.Users don't have admin rights to restart the service so that leaves them only at restarting their computer as solution.Which costs alot of time... As we cannot find a final solution to this problem I've begin to write a small tool so they can restart it..I've only hard code a local admin account in the source for this operate for them..

I defined a database using SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, and connected to it using Visual Basic 2010 Express. For some reason though, when I use the database in the program, it wants to start off using a negative primary key.Is there any way to make the primary key only a positive number?
View 3 RepliesI have this in a VB.NET console application:
Dim p As ProcessStartInfo
p = New ProcessStartInfo(Environment.CurrentDirectory & "injavac.exe",ClassName & ".java")
Dim ps As Process = Process.Start(p)
This does run the java compiler on the file, but it does so in a new window. I want the output from javac to appear in the same console that is running my application. How can I do this? Perhaps there is another method for running commands in the current console? Or maybe I can supress the second console window from opening and redirect its output to the current console?

I'm trying to extract a piece of text from within the string, defining both a starting point and an ending point. For instance, say I want to search for the text found between "That is a " and " car" in the string "That is a red car", so it would return "red".I know you can use .SelectionStart and SelectionLength, but the length of the word can change, so the selection length can vary. What I want is to establish a specific starting point and a specific ending point from which to extract the text from the string.
View 5 RepliesI am in need of a small application, that will allways be topmost and will send keystrokes to the last active application (typically notepad or an explorer window). My problem is retrieving the current active form (or application), when my application is started up. Every search seems to return old and rather complex solutions using Win32 library functions, but I was kinda hoping, that .Net allowed for a neater and more simple solution.I need a code example or link on how to retrieve the currently active application window from another application just starting up.

I have this problem where is wont let me create and files through the command prompt via echo xxx> C:xxx in Visual Basic. If I do it sepoaratly and run the command prompt as admin (This is not using vb at all) then it will work. I have tried putting my vb app to require previlidges at both levels at different times, not at once, and I still got the same thing.So is there a way I can use the comman prompt through vb, but also making the command prompt being an admin without turning off UAC?The code that will not work is this.
Shell(Environ$("Comspec") & " /c """ & WDir & "ToolsMediaInfoMediaInfo.exe"" --output=xml """ & WDir & "ToolsMediaInfoMediaInfo.xml""")

how to SQL Command and fill Result in ComboBox? in visual basic 2010 my DataBase

I'm new to vb but acquainted with programming in java, C, and other languages. I'm developing an application and I'm having difficulties at commanding controls from different forms. It's like this: Form1 has some buttons and charts, and in Form2 it's a "Settings" form to select the category and series for the charts. When i close the Form2 I need to activate some controls like buttons in Form1 and the problem is that at run-time I can call functions like this one:
In Form1:
Public Sub EnableButton()
button1.Enabled = True
End Sub
In Form2:
Public Sub BeforeClosing()
Form1.EnableButton()
Me.close()
End Sub
Using breaks I can see that they execute and the properties of the button change but after the close event of Form2, the properties of the button1 control become unchanged. At the global variables I have:
Dim newChart As System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.Chart
At ButtonX_Click i create a new chart and define some properties and in the end i activate the Form2
Private Sub ButtonSettings_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonSettings.Click
[Code] .....
So the sequence is:
Form1 Execute: Button_Settings_Click -> initialize chart and Form2.Show()
Happens: Chart Initialized and properties are changed Form2
Execute: Button_OK_Click -> Form1.Button_ShowChart.PerformClick() and Me.Close()
Happens: Sub .PerformClick() executes but values are not changed Form1
Execute: Button_ShowChart_Click -> Add data to Chart
Happens: Chart is found as NULL and properties are lost
Why does the controls properties are lost if they are executed???

I have wrote a nice little app in VB.Net to connect to an IP device via telnet and send a command, then write the reply to this command into a text file.I have everything working appart from the command.I need to send "Ctrl+a I2100" so if I was doing it manually in a dos box with telnet I would connect, then hold down Ctrl key and a then release, then type I2100 How do I do the Ctrl+a bit in VB. The line of code I have at the moment, is
client.SendCommand("Ctrl testing")
Now this obviously sends the word Ctrl testing to the telnet device.
This question may have been asked before but I searched around a lot and I couldn't find the solution of what I need.Let's say I have a string like "Int(100/9)". How can I get the result I want, which is 11? I don't believe the MSScript Evaluate method would work on this one, would it?

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ':=Reviewed_By) Reviewed_By,Stage,sum(Review_Status='Int_Approved') as Approved,s' at line 1

It'ss not running the cmd2.executenonquery. I've tried many different things such as opening a different connection and yet it still doesnt run that line of code, but it'll run the message box in the if then statement. So I assume it's something to do with the connection somewhere. I've also tried using try and catching the error. nothing. So the problem is that its just not running query2.
I write in VB2010, the software should work with the external hardware via RS232, the thing is when I send a command to the external hardware I have to wait for a reply from the device that command was received, just after I got the answer I want to continue send another command, I have a long sequence of commands i'm supposed to send, but I need to know for sure that the commands were received before I go on to the next command. I did the following code, but I think the code is not effective, because sometimes I do not get an answer and then the whole sequence commands destroyed. Maybe you can help me optimize the code?
