View 3 RepliesI can hide my startup form (or make it appear hidden) on startup. I can start my app on windows startup--through registry values--if the user checks a checkbox.
But if the app starts up on windows startup, I want the form to be hidden, so the program can just keep working without bothering anyone. If it starts up because the user started it, I want the form to be showing, because the user probably wants to change some settings or something.

View 4 RepliesHello,
I wanted to make the application to count how many times it has been runned..so I could make something like a restriction. You know..like run 10 times and get full version.. anyway..I did not find anything to count the startups..so I tried to make the application to create a folder on startup and save a empty file to it and count how many files are in that folder and display it in label which will say ' Application started for ' + files in the folder + 'times'. I think It could work but I get stuck when I want to save the empty file..I even made a RichTextBox for saving it but it just don't save even if I put text in the textbox..it just create the folde. I have made other Apps which creates folder on startup and then a timer which will save the file every X mins and it worked I even copied the code from that project but still it isnt working... Ill post my code below please help me.
Code:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim SAPI
SAPI = CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")
SAPI.Speak("Welcome and Have Fun.")
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory("D:Sys")
Threading.Thread.Sleep(50)
RichTextBox1.SaveFile("D:Sys
fo" + TimeOfDay + ".txt")
Dim s As String = "D:Sys"
Dim d As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(s)
Dim intFolders, intFiles As Integer
intFiles = d.GetFiles.GetUpperBound(0) + 1
Label6.Text = ("Program Started for " & intFiles.ToString & " time(s).")
End Sub
I tried to put the saving to a timer and it seems like somethings wrong with the saving :
RichTextBox1.SaveFile("D:Sys
fo" + TimeOfDay + ".txt")
..I am sute that it should look like this if I want to save a file which name will be the time it has been saved...or am I wrong?

View 1 RepliesHow To Properly Delete A File Using File.Delete()
View 5 RepliesI have an application I wrote that replaces Windows Explorer as a shell for Kiosk purposes. The application maintains two configuration files: one that is used and maintained for application purpose (app.config) and another that is stored in another directory so it doesn't get overwritten when the GUI attempts to update from a repository. When the application is ran in a normal environment it works perfectly. However when it is used during start-up or when switching users, the application can't seem to load the information in the other directory.
From the manager class
Private Shared rootCP As String
Friend Shared Sub loadConfig()
Dim dir As New IO.DirectoryInfo(Environment.CurrentDirectory)
[Code] .....
Another function later attempts to retrieve the data from the rootCP string but can only access it if the application was started after system start-up.
i deleted my previous start up form to be replaced by another one but each time i launch the application,the deleted start up form is still displayed.i dont know from where this deleted start up form is being loaded.
