what is the method to tell when a user starts or stops a process? My company makes a software package that allows a tie in from vb. I want to make a package to allow me to start and stop the software remotely and to monitor when the software is running or not.Ideally there would be some sort of event in windows when the user starts or stops the software. I imagine there is some sort of way to do this with a timer, but I am sure that windows will have some sort of event process when the program starts. I have googled this and looked through the xtremevbtalk forums for this but I am not quite sure as to what keywords to use.
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 want to make a process monitor tool with WMI that monitor the processes created or deleted, but the code will not work. Note to reference System.Management,
Can I monitor the registry for changes similar to how sysinternals process monitor does it in VB? I have checked many different articles and C# samples but not come any closer to getting an answer, I would like to know if there an easier way (a VB sample perhaps)that you folks can share. Ultimately I'd like to be able monitor other things too like file system, processes etc but wonder most about how the registry can be done in VB...Would using system.management be a start? Or WMI? if so is there a nice VB sample..
I am a total newbie when it comes to VB but I'm starting off with a few simple projects I've completed already! Basically Ive seen MANY stopwatch tutorials but none so far have been able to do a simple format of Second and Milliseconds 00:00 and NONE have been accurate in the slightest and have been totally off! create a simple stop / start stopwatch that is actually accurate that would be great as Im going around in circles trying to find a tutorial on this!
I am using the following code to create an array consisting of double values specified by start stop and step. The problem with that is that for some weird reason there is a calculation error that seems to originate from the for statement causing the values to drift after the 11th to 12th digit after the comma which is quite irritating for the purpose i am using it.
Imports System.ServiceProcess Imports System.IO Public Class fswService
[Code].....
2 problems: first, intellisense error saying: 'fswService' is a type and cannot be used as an expression. second, I can not figure out a way to pass on to the service the path of the folder to watch (which is stored at My.Settings.userPath).
I created 3 timers, i want each timer to take turn start which means timer1 stop then timer2 start, once timer2 stop timer3 start. But my code seem to be running together once i click the play button.And is there any ways to easy control how my picturebox move? Because my code for controlling it movement need to keep finding the correct number for it to move.
I'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'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.
I thought I postet this yesterday but I can't find my thread so if this is a duplicate please point me at the original one. Background: I need to create a user account and Modify it's registry before the user logs on the first time. Creating the account is done by using the Winnt provider (works great). To create the profile I'm trying to use Process.start to launch a process as the newly created user. With the use of loaduserprofile property the users profile gets created and i can do my regwrites without problem.
I am trying to make an application with a start button and a stop button on a stop watch program. These are the codes I am using but my seconds on the stop watch don't start.
Public Form Dim intSecond As Integer = 0 Form 1 Private Dim intSecond As Integer = 0 intSecond +=1
[Code]...
After I write my code and try to run the program, the seconds will not start,
I need to record the screen when my user clicks start, and stop recording when he clicks stop.I've searched for a while on this subject, and I have found nothing.I want to do this without adding any files to my project, I just want to use some built in function in Visual Basic, and start recording, or even take a snapshot and add it to an AVI file or something...These are some sites I have found:

This code is in VB6, but I am not sure how to even start using it?
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.
Second, I have a question which I have been trying to find answer for a wile but without any success.How can I monitor Windows Process for any change (create/kill) after run my app ? the only way I have think about it is that used two lists, the first one load the process list on it and the second refresh each 1 sec to get the new one and compare the two to know the difference, but its useless because you cant know who killed or created the process and other information.
As I have been read before, I guess there is a need to implement windows API, hook to detect process changes ? Is there any idea or solution for this?
I am using the following code to start a CMD process, my question is.My application starts up a CMD, and then the CMD commands a php file to start up and run. How can I track both of these process, so I can start and stop them?
So I got this idea to write a very small application for a school project that raises a balloon from the system tray everytime a new process is getting launched or an existing process quits.
With my current code, I am getting the list of processes using a timer.This list needs to be compared with the previous list and detect differences (if this is possible, or should I use a different concept)? I have no clue how to do this.
I currently have:A ListView (ListView1), with the View property to "Details" A Timer (at a 5000ms interval), with the following
Whats happening is I run the code below and get the following error "The system cannot find the file specified". I've read that with UseShellExecute set to false that you can't use WorkingDirectory.
Dim Password As String = "password" Dim SecureStringPassword As New System.Security.SecureString For Each c As Char In Password
I am trying to start CMD and pass a command to it and then monitor it in the app I am writing. The user enters the information that makes the commandline and when they click Go it does start CMD but straight away it says it can't find the file.Is there any way I can view what is being sent to the CMD prompt to double check that this is correct? Do I need to specify the path to the file I want it to run, i.e. cscript c: estMigrate.wsf?
Firstly im aware that the code below will auto run the default browser.
Code:
But i need to find a way of finding out what the default browser is. Is there a registry setting that displays this? also whats the best way to monitor for a process start or exit?
I was thinking about making a listview that updates every second checking for new entrys or entrys that have gone. But is this the best way if i only need to monitor 1 or 2 proceses?
I want to create a Small application for all the computers in my house that Monitors Network Traffic Because we are using large amounts of data each month and that leads to high costs.I can Monitor A computers total traffic with the system.net.networkinterface namespace. Now I would like to know if it is possible to Monitor an Process/applications Network Traffic to pinpoint The Problem.I've Read About WMI But there is so Much info on MSDN that i can't actually get to what i want and i don't think there is something so direct like the amount of bytes sent over the network.
I need to launch a VB6 application (which i am already doing fine with the Process namesapce) but I would like to be able to send status updates back to the VB.Net app which fired up the process. I looked into the standardinput and standardoutput but it looks like that is only intended for console apps. Any suggestions on methods to do that? I need something that is bullet proof and instant. I dont want to write logs out to a file and use filesystemwatcher to monitor for changes.
Bit of a Noobie question here, I have a process, for example[code]...
I need to launch the process from within code in a form or module and I want to monitor its progress, for example with a progress bar.
The problem I have is that in order to use a 'progress form' I have to show a form modally, then kick off the process (usually with a button) and allow a cancel option.
I want the form to show then start running automatically without user intervention.
My application periodically starts console programs with process.start. I need to monitor the output of the programs in "realtime".
For example, the program writes the following text to the console: Processing...............
Every second or so a new dot appears to let the user know the program is still processing. However,... until the programm outputs a CR/LF, I am not able to retrieve the standard output of the program (while it is still running).
What can I do to get the output in realtime for - let's say - piping it into a database for instance in VB.NET?
I want to develop a process that will monitor computers that logon to my network. Gather information such as computer name, time of logon and log out.The process would be located in the icon tray?
