Form Application That Launches A Bunch Of Shortcuts?
Jan 18, 2011
I've written a very simple form application that launches a bunch of shortcuts. There's one particular one I want to launch, but it's got a lot of switches with special characters. I can't figure out how to make the switches/arguments into a string so that VB2010 will pass it to the executible cleanly.. Here's what I did, I'm sure it's laughable, but I guess everyone starts somewhere:
Private Sub Button11_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button11.Click
Dim MyString As String = ","/CitrixShortcut: (1) /QLaunch "CHCFarm:Citrix Console""
Process.Start("C:Program FilesCitrixICA Clientpnagent.exe",MyString)
End Sub
I have been trying to figure out how an application like GameSpy or GameRanger launches applications and is able to sync with other users(all joining together). I have been under the assumption that it was just simple command line switches being used. The more I look into it the more I don't think that is the case. I believe they are hooking into a game's API to do so. My question would be, using OllyDbg I was able to get the memory address of a Text display in the game(The game you are about to create's name).The default is "TEST SESH", and if you highlight the field and hit enter you can edit it. I was wondering if anyone could give me incite on how I could set this text through a DLL injection?
In a VB.NET Winforms application, I have a form that contains both a datagridview and a textbox. I have some menu item entries that have shortcuts of Ctrl + X, Ctrl + C, and Ctrl + V that operate on the datagridview. However, these override the default cut, copy, and paste shortcuts for the textbox. How can I make the menu shortcuts only apply when the datagridview has focus?
I have a desktop application which reads files from a specified folder, then deposits the files to a folder in a third party document management system based on criteria that the user provides.
is it possible to somehow provide different parameters to the code, depending on which shortcut of the application the user clicked on to start it up?
ok so heres the scenario. Ive made an app in visual basic 2010 that calls another application in c:pinger 2.0. In the directory pinger 2.0 are many sub folders from 15-500 named 15-500. I have a button that does this:Shell("c:pinger 2.0" & TextBox1.Text & "pinger.exe")
so basically if i type 15 it launches c:pinger 2.015pinger.exe which works flawlessly however this pinger.exe requires a host file thats .txt based. My problem is when it launches pinger form subfolder 15 it cant locate the hosts.txt. To do a little troubleshooting i loaded the hosts.txt file in the same directory as my VB app and then it worked just fine but this is no good.the whole point of having different subfolders is because each sub has a different hosts.txt file.So what im experiencing is when i call pinger.exe its looking for the hosts.txt file in the root of the VB application and not the subfolder 15-500 is there a way to call a program and let it run from its original location so it will find the hosts.txt file in the correct subfolder?
i can upload my project if this mumbo jumbo has confused you, perhaps theres some ,vb"switch" i can run? like:Shell("c:pinger 2.0" & TextBox1.Text & "pinger.exe",vbrunwhereyoursupposedtoplease)
I have a VS 2008 Solution in VB.Net that has 2 projects - a Launcher and the App. The Launcher is what runs first, checks to make sure the App has all the latest files from the network, etc. and then launches the App. The Launcher allows the user to select their environment (Test, Production) then passes those values into the App.exe as command line arguments.
This works fine when running normally, but when trying to debug this, I'm trying to figure out how to start Debugging from the Launcher, then pass the selected Environment into the other project so it can read them as command line arguments.
I have a legacy vb6 application that uses a shell command to launch a newer .net application. It's a very simple command, just launches an app. Here's the problem. When I run the .net app through the shell command, it tries to connect to a database that is not referenced in it. If I double-click the .net executable, it runs just fine and connects the way it is supposed to. Normal, no problems. Only when I run it from the shell command do I have problems. I have checked everything I can think of and simply can not come up with a reason why the app would behave differently when launched from a shell command.
What I would like to do is create a command button that launches an email from outlook attaching the current word document to a set email address. I'm not fussed if the word document is saved or not as it is only the email receipent that needs it, likewise I don't mind if the code instructs the email to send of just opens it ready to be sent.I have read through loads of forums and tried loads of codes but cannot get any to work.
I am using VS2008 and creating forms. By default, the underscore of the character in a textbox when using an ampersand is not shown when I run the application. ex. "&Goto Here" is not underlining the G until I press the ALT key.Is there a way to have this underline the text that I put an ampersand in front of when the form/application starts instead of having to have the user press the alt key?
I am an application to make and I sit with the following problem. I want to add shortcuts to my program. The F10 key word. But the shortcut should work even if the program is not focused. How do I do this?
I'm creating a Setup Project (in Visual Studio 2008) for VB.NET application, everything works fine but I want to ask how to put an option for shortcuts. I mean, i know how to put shortcuts to desktop and start menu but I want some kind of checkbox where you'll have an option to put those shortcuts or not to?
im calling a bunch of different propertys named K0 to K6, im using a string to check which one i need to access, this is damn messy, how can i do it in a more clean way? Im convinced that strings are not the way to go so please give me a comment to get in the right direction.
Dim tempAntDec As Integer Select Case wd.MClass Case "K0" [code]....
I would like to call this in some other way like, this.. or dont know but i feel like there is a better way to handle this?
I am trying to assign a keyboard shortcut to a macro but "Press shortcut keys" textbox does not accept input. The "Remove" and "Assign" buttons are disabled. I have a command highlighted and I've tried in all the available "Keyboard Mapping Schemes". I've noticed that on some of the samples on "Modifying Keyboard Shortcuts" there were buttons for creating new mapping schemes. I'm assuming those are a visual studio version prior to mine - maybe 2003. Mine only contains the reset button.
Is there a way to use shortcuts in your app (like Crtl+F1)? When those keys are pressed my app should notice it, even when they are pressed outside my app window.
In my classic asp app, I have a markup page with a bunch of checkboxes. The checkbox control ID is bscv.Once a user checks a box and clicks submit, the value is processed on the next page called next.asp.Based on the value of the checked box, I display the correct dropdown.I use the following code on next.asp to display the correct dropdown.
If bsvc = "master" Then ' only master was checked ' "If the user checks only master checkbox, ...txtmaster with 2 options... is displayed." %> <select id="txtmaster" name="txtmaster"> <option value="">-Select a service-</option> <option value="1">1</option>
I need to modify a xml file (actually a .rdlc report file) and add some nodes which have a lot of children nodes (and those children nodes again have children nodes). Actually they are almost the same strucutre, like this one:
and it will add my specified NS. (like I said, XElement.Parse(string) won't add it) So now I can construct the correct node. For my second problem I still can't figure out: I can't navigate to the target node by using the element name since it won't search for correct NS.
Is there a quick way of creating child forms? I am going to have 20+ and all the code I can find is this below:[code]Can I not make a subroutine and send the form into it to be made a child form? Something like this pseudo code:Is there a fast way like this available?[code]
I have a dataset with a bunch of product info. What I really need to do is send each product individually through a file stream using serialization/deserialization into a web service. I tried for testing purposes to write the dataset to a file, but I don't know how to write each product to a different file.
Dim oProduct As webservice.Product = New webservice.Product() For Each DataRow As DataRow In DataSet11.Yahoo.Rows oProduct.MfrName = DataRow("manufacturer").ToString
I am developing an automation tool which is reading the file path from an Excel workbook and after launching the application I am firing print job using SendKeys.SendWait() for Ctrl+P and Enter key. Now the Problem is, I am facing synchronization issue for launching the application and handling the print procedure keys.Sometimes Applications are launching little late(like Excel and MsWord files), so at that time I am not able to find till how long I have to wait for a successful launch of the Application. Anybody have any Idea how to check this waiting time till how long I should wait to fire CTRL+P and then after getting PrintDialog ENTER button ?
I've got a listview with a bunch of items which all use checkboxes. Each time an item is checked or unchecked I want to save the selection. Whilst saving/loading the selection is not an issue, I can't seem to find an event which triggers AFTER the checked item has been changed. For example, the ItemChecked event will fire when an item has been checked or unchecked but the event will give it's checked status BEFORE it was changed. I've had to resort to saving the list when it loses focus but this isn't ideal.
