Will the commands I send to a Process.Start() be obeyed from within the IDE? [code]This doesn't work in the IDE, just gives me a blank window with the full string as the window name, but I'd like to fire up ffmpeg from within the app, wondering if it's an IDE thing or my code. I know some things in Flash work differently in the IDE than the "real" thing, not sure if VS does it too.
View 1 RepliesI need to open several pdf, word and excel files from process.start like command, but only open one file at time.
View 2 RepliesI'm using Process.Start to start an external command line application and using the StartInfo.Arguments method to send parameters to the application. I imagine I'll need to use a loop... but I can't figure out exactly how yet.I need to send anywhere from 1 - an infinite number of files names to this application. Each file has to be sent one after the other. So once the first one is done, I need to loop back around and past the second one.I can probably use the Directory.GetFiles method to get all of the files, but I don't know how to assign them.

I have an application (application #1) running with Administrator privileges on Windows 7.
I want application # 1 to start another application (application #2) without Administrator privileges so application #2 is running as a standard user.
Is there a way to do this? I have been using Process.Start.
Here's what I currently have:
[Code]...
I've commented out various things to limit it to specifically this command (example, I can swap mklink out with notepad and it works fine). The command runs fine from a DOS window, but can't be found when I use it this way. I also tried using the SHELL command just to test and I get the same results. No idea why it can't be found, as like I said it executes from the command prompt just fine.
My app starts an On-Screen Keyboard process like this:
Dim PID as System.Diagnostics.Process
:
PID = Process.Start("C:WindowsSystem32osk.exe")
:
[CODE]...
It seems to work 90% of the time. However, sometimes the PID.Kill() fails because it says the process already exited. At this point the OSK is always still there on screen. Yes, I know my code should be testing to see if the process is still running before trying to kill it, but given that the OSK is still on screen..
I have a program that starts another program after setting the regkeys basically the program continually syncs the calandar of outlook and another application.I set the regkeys than launch the c:sync.exe app. I have tried a simple process.start and launching the process as a thread and they both do the same thing: The other process starts and works as it should but my main program goes "White screen" or "not responding" until the process.start has exited.
I want the process.start to run in the background so if users click in my main app it responds and truly that they can access the context menu of my main app from the taskbar while the process.start is running.
Trying to create a button that when clicked will check to see if a certain process image is running and if that process is running give the process focus. If the process is not running then start the application.

I have never programmed a network program before and would like to learn at my own pace. Also I am not asking anyone to write this complete program for me, just bits of code to help me write a complete program. (though if you do code it all I won't complain.) I already tried using internet tutorials but none of them seem to work.I am trying to program a simple form with 4 buttons, and 2 users.The first button is a connectivity button. "Green" for connected, "Red" for not.The second button is a "Connect" Button which will connect to another computer with this program installed/active. (I want it as simple as possible)and the next 2 buttons switch between "1" and "0" depending on user input(Default "0"). the first button is the local user button and the second is the remote user button. When the local user clicks the local button then what he/she changes it to will be displayed at the remote site. The same thing will happen with the remote user.
I know how to place all the buttons where they belong, and to change the local text, but I have no Idea how to connect to a remote program or to pass messages between the two users. Can anyone suggest some Simple code to do this. (something that I will be able to learn and use to make more complex code later on.)

View 2 RepliesI have downloaded the vb script and it works as it should, its a program where you have some buttons so that you could trigger the relays.But i need several small scripts, one for each relay on / off so that i can call them from a .bat file with argument.i have a .bat named relaycard and in thet i have created argument like
relay1on
relay1off
relay2on
relay2off
and so on.
The small program relay1on should just do the jobb and then close itself.Maybe its a little bit clearer now.On the link that i posted there is a manual and even links to the vb program,
What I have done so far is place the compiler inside the bin of my project folder, inside the Debug folder. I managed to call the cmd shell but the problem is whenever I pass commands to that cmd shell, it doesn't work. What happens is it opens a cmd shell and when I pass commands on it, it opens many other shells.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI am using sub main and no application framework. This gets rid of the single instance option for the program. I want to be able to have my app handle mailto but it needs to be single instance.
I have:

I understand running the command shell as a process, How would i run multiple arguments in that one process? For example, here's a process to do a netstat.[code]How would I do that with the following commands? I'd like to click one button and have these all run one after the other.[code]

When i click a button this code is executed. But it wont execute the command "MP4Box.exe -ttxt " + """" + subtitle + """" Why?
How would I go about starting a new process without it being the child of the calling process.
Example:
Main Program (Caller.exe)
process.start("file.exe")
i use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start to run a process
example :
Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process
p = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("D:ProjectApplication.exe")
it works perfectly during run time. but after i deploy to server.... this code did nothing, it did not call out this process

View 6 RepliesI have a dll that I can load in another program. Now the dll has access to all data/functions in the other program. Which technology can I use that now an external program can send data/commands to that dll, to steer the other program, or get data from it ? I mean, in the past that meant DDE, I think that was back in Windows 3.11/95 times. What can I use today? Which one is easiest ? Which one is fastest?
