Change Check Box Status In Form While Other Code Is Running?
Jan 19, 2012I have a form which I use to read data from a text file and export it to an excel template file. The data it reads is constantly updated so I would like to add a check box to cause the data to be read every 10 seconds. It's set up so the user can either do one quick scan by clicking a button, or they can click the button while also having the check box checked and it will scan every 10 seconds.The problem is, once I check the check box, I can't uncheck it. I have created a greatly simplified version of my original code to demonstrate this concept.

View 2 RepliesChange Startup Form After 15 Days (Trail Version)?
Jan 9, 2011I'm trying to create a 'trial version' for a software of mine, currently it is pay-only. Basically the most efficient way I can think of is to simply change the startup form of the trial version after 15 days. The new startup form will simply be a request to register.
-How can I change the startup form after 15 days?
-How can I ensure that this cannot be changed afterwards (so it isn't easily pirated).

View 3 RepliesHide Form On Startup If App Occurred Because Of Windows Startup?
Jun 20, 2010I 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 RepliesCheck If Program Was Launched At System Startup?
Feb 29, 2012I have set my program up to run on system startup like so:
Code:
Private Sub enableRunOnSystemStartup()
My.Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun", True).SetValue(Application.ProductName, Application.ExecutablePath)
End Sub
The problem is that when it does start, it opens up in a window. I wish to provide the user with 4 options for what to do on system startup.
1. Don't run on system start.
2. Run and open a window.
3. Run but start minimized to the taskbar.
4. Run but start minimized to the system tray.
It's options 3 and 4 that cause the problem. If the user starts the program manually, it should start in window mode, but if the program starts from system startup, I need to check which option the user has selected and perform that option.
I was thinking of passing some sort of parameters to the program when it loads but I am not sure how these parameters could be sent to the program. One way would be to create a separate program that loads on system startup. When that program loads, tell it to load my program but pass a parameter to it to tell it that it was booted from startup. I feel like there should be a better way.
I was also thinking of getting the time of the last system bootup. Then comparing it with the current time, although this might not work if the user loaded my program as soon as they logged on.
A third idea I came up with was to use a shortcut to the exe file and check if the program was executed using that shortcut. I could place the shortcut in the folder ...AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup as opposed to adding it to the registry. But would this work on other Windows operating systems? I'm using Windows 7.
Ideally, this program should be able to run on other computers, but if that is too complicated, I'd rather just get it running on mine first.
Also, in case anyone is interested, my program creates a copy of the user's files on a separate drive, although I don't think this affects what I am trying to do with checking if my program was launched at system startup.
Forms :: Check On App Startup Is Login Is Else Start Mainform?
Aug 13, 2011I'm creating an app, with a splashscreen, loginform (just enter a name) and a mainform.With I use my.settings.

How To Change Startup And Recovery Options
Jan 14, 2010I want to programmatically change the Startup and Recovery options in Windows Server 2008? To be more specific...
- I'm writing my application in VB.NET 2.0 using VS2008
- I want to enable "Automatically restart"
- I want to set "Write debugging information" to none
That's it. I found a thread that speculated it might be do-able using System.Management but after looking through the documention in the library I can't find which might do that.
Note: It looks like this might be possible using BCDEdit (which I could call through a Shell command) but I can't find the syntax for that either. I only mention it because that would be a solution to my problem if it can't be done internally from the program I'm writing.
