I want to create a program that will run every start of computer and will check if it is 9:00 AM and can only be seen at the bottom right cornner besides the clock. When the program executes must show an notification that the program is running.

View 6 RepliesIn Form1 there are a lot of boxes like checkbox, label....I want to show a processing message for opening serial port after program running. So I created Form2 specifically showing "Opening Port...". So in Form1_Load() I used Form2.Show(). However this message showed behind of Form1. I think this was executed before all the other tool boxes loading. So where should I put Form2.Show()?
View 2 RepliesI have some difficulties concerning threading [code]
Code:
1- Dim str As String
2- Dim x As New myClass
3- str = x.doSomething()
4- x.closeSomething()
I've included line numbers so I can just refer the lines by their numbers. My problem is, when the program executes, line 4 seems to be executed earlier than I want it to. It gets executed while ThreadX is still running in line 3. How can I force the program to wait until ThreadX has finished executing, before it executes line 4?
I wrote this VB program to be able to throw a device we developed into programming mode where we use an ATMEL Flip installer to upload new firmware. I can program one device after another running the application off of Visual Studio Express 2010 or Visual Studio 2010, but when I go to publish this file and run it on another machine, it becomes unstable and crashes after each upload. On those same computers if I run the raw unpackaged program under Visual Studio Express, the system does not crash, and I can program devices repeatedly.
View 5 RepliesI have developed a program using vb.net 2008 that will allow you to open another program at a specific time. This is just a beta and that is why 2 way of telling the program when to close the program that opened and this program.Anyway this is my issue when I get everything set up to open the program once it opens i don't have focus on the main form or the notification icon. (When the program has not lauched the program I am able to use the notication icon. (notification icon does the follow: restores the main window to normal view and exits the program.) Could some help to get the notification icon to work when the program has launched.[code]

View 10 Replieshow to make my application run in notification area and run in windows start up
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a program that when I press the X or _ buttons on the form it minimizes to the notification area(system tray). I did find some stuff but didn't understand were to put the code I just have some basic knowledge in VB.net. What I read was something about the formclosing event
Private Sub frmMain_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
e.Cancel = True
'Me.Visible = False
End Sub
and well it sort of works to what I want but don't know were to go from there.. what I read from another post was that I had to do something with "NotifyIcon Class" but still didn't know what to do with that or where to put the code.
Basically what I want the program to do is minimize to system tray and a tooltip will pop up when I hover my mouse over it and display something that I want. Also when I right click the icon I would like some options to be displayed so that I could program it to close.
I want to prevent my program from running when it is already running.How can I do that in my vb2008 Code?

I had the battle system 60% worked out. Went to play some Dragon Age, when I came back nothing was working as the way I left it. I don't know what happened.The richtext box is supposed to disaply the attack monster description, and then it's name, the amount of damage it does. I had it so that I could attack, be attacked, and display damage, and attack discription of both player and monster. when I opened my project to work on it again, hardly anything was working right.[code]

View 1 RepliesI am writing a program (that i have recieved a lot of help with) that creates input files for another program. The bridge between the two programs is a program that has been named the task manager as like the windows task manager it shows what tasks are being done/have been done/are about to be done (or executed)
What i would like to know is how can i run the already installed bridge program from my program? Do i need to run it by opening the executable that contains it? Or by declaring the bridge program as a type/structure/class and going from there to open it?If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room

View 1 RepliesHow to block a program from running twice. Show a message box when the program is executed twice
View 1 RepliesAlthough I signed up a year ago I didnt have enough free time to carry on programming, but have now made some time.
I have spent the past 2 hours trying to look for a code for visual basic 2008 that will check if a program is running.
It would be really helpful if someone wrote the whole code out and made it clear exactly where I put them name of the .exe file
I am creating a program that will check if a program is running, by checking its window title (NOT THE FILENAME, ITS WINDOW TITLE) and seeing if it is currently running.
So far I was only able to check if the program was running by its filename
[Code]...
I'm making a program in VB to check if a certain program is running, and if not, to start it up, because I'm hardly ever at my computer and sometimes the program that is being checked for existence tends to close down often, so I need something that will check for the existence of the program in question, and start it if it's not running
View 4 RepliesI have a program that 10-20 people use throughout the day. Because things are rapidly fluctuating I occasionally have to take the database offline, or restart the server for other reasons. I'd like to have a better way to make sure no one is currently in the program than walking to each person and asking them.
I don't want to re-invent the wheel if something like this already exists.
The thoughts I had were:
Create a database "history" entry each time users open or close the program to see who is currently using the system. Use WCF to have the clients "tell" the server that they are connected every X seconds.
I have a program that when youpress a button it opens another program then after that it opens a 2nd program. How can get my program to check the system processes and wait until the first program closes before the 2nd one runs?
View 5 RepliesI would like to be able to close a running program (service) from another program.I know I can use...
Process.Start("C:XxxYyyProg.exe")
to start program: - Prog.exe
Located at: - C:XxxYyy.
But is there any way to also stop (close) Prog.exe from within another program ? The same one that started it for example...PS I should mention that in this case, Prog.exe is a third party program which I can't alter. It does have an Exit option from a right click.

So my class was recently given an assignment to make a Tic Tac Toe program with options of playing against the computer, or another person. I was able to 2 player game work, but I have run into a problem with the two player game. Whenever I start debugging and click on one of my buttons (these represent the 9 spaces on a tic tac toe board), the gameplay form freezes, and becomes uncontrollable. The close button on the form doesn't even work, I have to go back to VB and click stop debugging to close the unresponsive form. I checked my original two player game, which has a similar code, but that works just fine. VB does not show any error messages or give any warning.
