my question is how can I execute these VBScript codes inside the Windows Form (of course in a button click event). I don't want to execute them by pointing to the VBS file, I want them to be in the EXE file when I compile the form so if I hand out the form to someone else, they cannot modify the scripts.
View 14 RepliesI have been struggling to get vbscript working for last three days of relentless effort. I have windows 7 ultimate and upgraded from windows vista. searched the web for solutions and tried out all the options I think I have, but yet no luck.
I tried registering vbscript.dll and I get a succeeded message back. Everything seems to be fine. but, I just cannot run vbscript on my computer. It complains that "can't find script engine vbscript for script ....". I have a hunch that it is something to do with "microsfot security essentials (my virus protection software)" or with UAC.
I was wondering how I would send a formatted vbscript block of code to the vbscript scripting interface for it to execute? I have tryed Windows script host but dont understand how to implement something like this using it.
I can run it using script control but I need an alterative method for 64-bit computer because i of the installer script that installs 64-bit components that only use the 64-bit version of scripting interface.
Even if its an idea with starter code i think i can build on that as long as you give me something to go on and explain your reasoning.Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. - "Sherlock holmes" "speak softly and carry a big stick" - theodore roosevelt.

I have a form called LogIn.vb which has no errors. After log-in, it opens the MainForm.vb which IsMDIContainer property is set to true. From the MainMenu, it opens a child form called Assure_Benefits.vb So far no problem up to this point. When Assure_Benefits.vb loads, it displays 2 DataGridViews with datasourses from my 2 tables in my database.
There is still no problem with the loading. Now, to show the difference between different user types, I only allow the admin to edit the DataGrid. SO I set the readonly property to true when UserType = "user".
I have no problem doing that. My problem is I want to add some codes besides the readonly being set to true and false but other codes are not executed and the program does not display any errors at all. i tried to add messageboxes on the if and else conditions to try if added codes will work but even the messagebox does not appear though the codes next to it are properly executed.
When my Assure_Benefits.vb loads I call for the subroutine below.
Private Sub SetControlProperties()
If LogIn.UserType = "admin" Then
MessageBox.Show("Yes") 'This line is not executed
[CODE]...
I can't seem to understand why the first code is not executed when the next codes works fine.
I would like to create an application that can browse the DLL file and use the codes inside it. Not by adding it as a reference, or something. Just browsing the DLL file to use the codes inside it.
View 7 RepliesI have a customer which as a Visual Basic Project in single instance mode with a wired presentation logic.
The main form contains a TabControl with mutliple TabPages.If I click on TabPageA another form is shown in front of the Form and resized to have the same size as the TabPage.
If I click on TabPageB the first form is hidden and another form is displayed.So basically for the user it looks like you have a TabControl with different TabPages which is not the case.
I tried converting the Forms to UserControls and put them inside the TabPage, but, thanks to the SingleInstance app, this would take a whole lot of refactoring. I tried it but eventually gave up because of many many runtime errors and I don't want to put any more effort in this.

I've been trying off and on for a week now to get this to work but no luck. I have completely stripped down my vb.net 2008 windows service to just create a vbs file and launch it using a process.I'm dying here. The vbs file creates and is valid. I can execute it manually, the windows service just won't run it!! I'm on a windows 7 machine and the process is compiled and installed as a 32 bit process. It is also installed as local system.
After the process tries to execute, I created a text file and it did so successfully. So, I know that the service isn't crashing out.[code]....
