Get The ProcessID Of A Running Program In VB 2008?
Aug 12, 2009
I want my program to use the Appacctivate with a process ID because, the window title of the program I am going to work with is changing.
I tried several thing, but I just can't seem to be able to get the processID of any running applications. I googlet it, and there a several code's out there, but I get a Null Reference Error, with all of them.
which gets the ProcessID of a running program? I tried it with process.getprocessbyname ("myApplication") , dunno whether I was on a godd trail, or is there a far easyer way, even for activating windows without the processID.

When you click a button, the program should start op everytime your computer starts, but it must be in the background, so that you wont notice it.

I'm about to pull my hair out with this program. I need the following program to keep a running total of the total amount due by a customer for books bought. The exercise required the use of a BookSale class with 3 attributes(a quantity,price,and total due) and 2 behaviors(a default constructor and method that keeps a running total). Here is the code for the class:
[code]...
My problem lies in the program keeping a running total. The total due is displayed fine for each quantity and price but not the whole running total. For example,if I enter 1 as quantity and 2 as price and click the Add to Sale button,the Total Due value,which is $2.00,is displayed. However,if I change the quantity to 2 and price to 4,which comes out to $8.00,the $8.00 is not added to the existing $2.00. I feel like I'm missing something elementary and it's driving me crazy. I would work on it some more but it's already after 4 AM here and I need to get some sleep.BTW,this exercise is from a college textbook. However,this isn't an assignment that is due. I just got bored and decided to work on a chapter we didn't have time to get to.

1) Is it possible to allow a vb 2008 program to run at computer startup. Meaning, one the computer is turned on, it will load up with all the other startup programs so that it is ready to use.
2) I also would like to know if it is possible to have the program minimize down to the tray where all start up programs usually appear. So that instead of it cluttering up the task bar it will be in the tray and when they clcik or double click it, it will open back up.

I think it's because I have a background image. For example when I maximize the program it lags. I mean big software companies have programs that have more pixel images and are much more colorful then my program is but never lag why. AVG has nice look but the program never lag. But the code runs fine so that is a good thing. How can I stop the lag with background image?

I am going mad about getting the process id for one existing handle on VB2008.I tried both GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, pid) and GetProcessId(hwnd), while PID always returns 0, I tried the same things in VBA of Excel, it works perfect, so this is somewhat weird,

I am in process of writing a setup program that will reside in a USB stick.After inserting the Stick the VB2008E program starts (dont know how) and guides the technician to do certain tasks. As a part of this She/He needs to run a Setup.exe that resides in the same USB stick.
1- How do I define the drive letter of this USB stick.
2- How do I run the x:Setup.exe program without exiting the VB2008? The install process should begin after click of a button.
3- Would Autorun work on USB drives to run the program automaticaly?
4- How do I compile to make a single EXE file at the end?

Basically i want to run a program that is created in vb2008 with its compiler properties set to AnyCPUThe programmer has a 32bit os, so he has not recognized that his referenced assemblies are not compatible with 64bit OS and therefore throw system.badimageformatexception on 64bit OS (such as mine; im running windows 7)
now it is my understanding that all 32bit applications can be run on 64bit windows because the WOW64 emulator can run them (just like programs that get installed in the program files x86 directory)so the problem here is that my OS cant recognize that this program must be run in 32bit since that programmer foolishly set the compile options to anycpu i can not contact the programmer and therefore asking him to recompile is not a possible solution.So, how do i run this program as 32 bit on my 64bit OS? how can i manually set 32-bit compatibility? it is not available in compatibility options.I tried running in compatibility mode for windows xp sp2 i tried putting the software in program files x86 folder.

Title pretty much says it all. Does anyone know a way to to prevent a computer from entering a low/non-processing mode while the program is running? I don't care about monitor modes, screen-savers, hard-drive spindown, etc (in fact, I'd prefer to leave those alone; I like it that it shuts the monitor off after a time period).Basically, I have an industrial program that needs to continually monitor a PCI card it uses for IO; and this activity alone isn't enough to convince Windows not to go into Sleep mode. We normally just shut the power-save features off, but we had an incident where a technician forgot, a customer's machine went to Sleep after the end of the shift, the pumps stopped recirculating, yadda-yadda big mess.

In Form1 there are a lot of boxes like checkbox, label....I want to show a processing message for opening serial port after program running. So I created Form2 specifically showing "Opening Port...". So in Form1_Load() I used Form2.Show(). However this message showed behind of Form1. I think this was executed before all the other tool boxes loading. So where should I put Form2.Show()?

I have this code, which will get all windows thats open, like explorer.exe do. It will write all the titles to listbox1, like this example.I will then try to do many things, like close, minimize, maximize, and restore like this:[code]but how do I do this with the selected index in my listbox. My code must somehow get the processname, or processID from the Window-name.

I wrote this VB program to be able to throw a device we developed into programming mode where we use an ATMEL Flip installer to upload new firmware. I can program one device after another running the application off of Visual Studio Express 2010 or Visual Studio 2010, but when I go to publish this file and run it on another machine, it becomes unstable and crashes after each upload. On those same computers if I run the raw unpackaged program under Visual Studio Express, the system does not crash, and I can program devices repeatedly.

I have a program that has been running well under both Windows XP and Vista. Recently I tried installing the software on a Vista x64 machine and the program keeps crashing at runtime. I have tried running in Windows XP compatability mode and other solutions but nothign works. If I run it on the machine under Virtual PC using Windows XP I have no problems. The only two clues I have are these 1)One of the error messages I got when the program crashed said "missing dll file" and 2) the error log viewer shows that the error involves kernel32.dll This problem feels like it is way out of my league ont face value.

I had the battle system 60% worked out. Went to play some Dragon Age, when I came back nothing was working as the way I left it. I don't know what happened.The richtext box is supposed to disaply the attack monster description, and then it's name, the amount of damage it does. I had it so that I could attack, be attacked, and display damage, and attack discription of both player and monster. when I opened my project to work on it again, hardly anything was working right.[code]

I am writing a program (that i have recieved a lot of help with) that creates input files for another program. The bridge between the two programs is a program that has been named the task manager as like the windows task manager it shows what tasks are being done/have been done/are about to be done (or executed)
What i would like to know is how can i run the already installed bridge program from my program? Do i need to run it by opening the executable that contains it? Or by declaring the bridge program as a type/structure/class and going from there to open it?If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room
