I'm wondering if there is any way to exit an external batch application. My project is to make a server auto Restarting program, and the application that runs the server is titled runserver.bat I am using Visual Basic 2010 Beta 1 (with .NET 4.0 framework),
[Code]...
I have a button in Main screen, which calls A.exe when you pressed on it.
Process.Start("A.exe").
If I exit from Main, how can I make sure A.exe is closed too? Application.Exit in Main doesnt seems to work.
I have just done my program, just skeleton not completely, the final problem has not been solved up to this time.When I run my application, the Icon of its will be showed at TaskTray. I would like the icon is there when I exit fom of application and then If I double click on the Icon, the application will be showed.

I'm having a bit of a problem getting my application to close properly. Basically I have one main form from which all other forms open. If a user tries to close that main form, I want to bring up a MessageBox asking if they want to exit the application.However, when I try to do that it asks the question twice. It seems that the Application.Exit() is triggering the FormClosing event again for some reason, but I don't know of another way to exit the application. BTW, the main form isn't the startup form so I can't use the option to close when the startup form closes.

I have a VB windows application and I need a way to control input output from this windows application to a batch file.The batch script is quite complex so converting to a VB console application is out of the question because it will too much time.An simplified example is this:I have this batch file test.bat(just for example)
@echo off
set /p choice=name : %choice%
echo Hello %choice%!
In this batch file the user input the name which is then stored in a variable and after the user press enter on the screen will appear Hello + user input.
1. Is it possible to enter the name in a textbox from the windows form and by pushing a send button pass the name to the batch application and then the batch file to continue the operation of displaying the Hello message?
2. After the batch file finishes the operations it will open another console windows (3) with status of the various operations that take place on the system(in my case connected users to a server)Is it possible to hide this child console windows that are generated after my main .bat application finished the operations of opening connections?Can this be done from the windows application or I need to modify the .bat script?
3. Is there a way to collect the console windows output in a textbox from the windows application?One idea that came to me was to redirect the console output to a textfile and then read the textfile in the VB application but I want to know if there is another way.
4. Is it possible to hide this batch file inside the windows application exe?

I Have one Windows Application in which i have one MDI Form (Say App1). And I too have another Windows Application in which I have a Child Form (Say App2). So now i want to Call App2 from App1 .. And want to Display App2 form As MDIChild in App1 MDI Form . I am Able to open the Form of App2 , But how to set It As App1' Child .
View 2 RepliesI use SetParent to make an external application a "child" of my Main .Net application. This works fine.What I need to know is why can't I use Me.MDIChildren(0)I thought that using SetParent would increase the number of children by 1, thus allowing me to reference it with the above code, but it shows there are no children in the array.I have been trying, without luck, for 2 days to try to maximize an external app being displayed in my app. I can get it to display, but I would love it if it could Dock to the same size as its container (a panel)

View 3 RepliesI'm creating an application in VB.Net (.NET 2.0) I've put on Exit button on the SplashScreen. When user wishes to click on that, the application must get exited.

But when user presses "X" on splashscreen, i want to exit whole application irrespective of its current execution state.

View 1 RepliesI have an app which has been working fine for about 2 months. Yesterday, I carried out a maintenance session which was mainly simple bug fixing and moving my code into regions to help navigating through it. Along the way, 2 things have started happening which has totally broken my app.
MSDN states that Application.Exit does not cause the Form.Closed or Form.Closing events to fire.[URL]..However, my Form.Closing event is firing immediately after Application.Exit which is in a button click handler on the form. The code is like this:

View 7 RepliesI have a single windows form application that is running in system tray icon.If the user press X button of the windows form a messagebox is displayed with Yes and No ( Yes ->close the form---No->keep the form running in system tray icon).I was thinking to prevent the scenario when the user open another instance of the application when there is already an instance running so i have used this code :
If Process.GetProcessesByName(Process.GetCurrentProcess.ProcessName).Length> 1 Then
MessageBox.Show("Another instance is running", "Error Window", MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
Application.Exit()
End If
The problem is that when i want to test this the message is displayed but after i press ok, a new messagebox appears (that one from Private Sub Form_FormClosing ).If i choose NO i will have to instance running!I have read that Application.Exit fires the Form_FormClosing event.Is there any possibility to cancel the triggering of the Form_FormClosing event?'this is the formclosing
procedure
Private Sub Form_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing

Dim response As MsgBoxResult
response = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to exit", CType(MsgBoxStyle.Question + MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, MsgBoxStyle), "Confirm")

How to Exit Application in Visual Basic
View 2 RepliesI am working on some custom components that I would like to sell with a form of licensing,
Is there a way to make a component exit a application?
Meaning, if the license key is no good, i want it to pop up a msg box, then throw a quit.
I figure I can always run a 'Throw New Exception("Invalid Key")', but that won't cause the program to stop since it's behind the scenes.
I realize that if i add checks, then i can say 'If CodeIsInvalid then don't process the process'.
how do i open a menu to exit the application when i right click on notifyicon in the systemtray?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a Windows Forms application which is primarily to be used as a command line application with an optional GUI in the case where no command line options are specified. The program is intended to be a lightweight version of a larger program, intended to perform a couple of very specific tasks without requiring all the initialization required in the larger program.To this end, I am planning on using Me.Startup in applicationevents to process the command line options and determine if the Startup form should be displayed or not. In the case where the startup form should not be displayed, what is the method to close the application from within Me.Startup Application.Exit, Me.Close, and others are not available from within Me.Startup. My searches online have shown that I can use e.ApplicationExit() from Me.UnhandledException, but this method is also not available from Me.Startup.if anyone has any better ideas on how to accomplish what I am trying to do, those comments are always welcome.
