View 3 RepliesI've been having huge problems having a VB.NET Windows Forms program run as a scheduled task under XP SP3. The program runs when I set the task up to use my non-admin network username and password, I can see the interface fine (albeit without the desired results - the program requires access to remote shares). When I set the task up with the network administrator account credentials, the task is "Running" but I do not see any interface. It doesn't error - it just kind of sits there happily in the background.

I am developing a VB.NET based application which requires administrative privileges in order to run properly. However I went through several tutorials online and it all mentioned how to do this using a mainifest file. The problem with this technique is that whenever the program is opened I need to type in the Administrator password, however I want this to happen automatically. (The user should not type the Admin password, the password must be entered from the code level)[code]...

View 1 RepliesI'm writing a program and have run into a bit of a snag. I have the code perform a button click on certain buttons, the reason for this is I have a bunch of buttons that each do something and one that does everything automatically. I suppose I could rewrite everything under that one button but that would essentially double the size of my program, I could use an if statement to catch the fact that the program is in automatic mode but that would be about 15 conditions (not looking forward to writing that statement ;p)
Clicking the buttons is a nice simple, clean solution. The exception being the program performs the click then continues on executing the rest of the code in the actually clicked button while at the same time executing the code called by the code click. Main problem with this is the data that needs to be populated by the code click isn't being populated fast enough for the code in the main button so then there is errors, blank data, program doing nothing. A simple sw timer to delay could work (I know how to make one of those) but the problem with that is the program is executing against a webpage and if the webpage takes a few seconds longer to load then anticipated everything is out of wack again. I'm looking for a simplish way to cause the program to wait for ALL code called by any raised event to finish before proceeding.
i.e. Call Button.clickEvent > Wait for code and subroutines executed by Button.clickEvent to finish > continue with rest of code in button.
Below is the code I'm using so far for the user clicked button.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Button4.PerformClick()
'Need to wait for all code executed by Button4 and anything it calls to finish
x = 0

View 1 RepliesI have a web browser on my form and it is definitely big enough to warrant a tab control, with the web browser being on the second tab. I have a button on the first tab that should have the browser navigate, but how do I make the program automatically switch to tab 2? i.e., this is what happens:
1 - user is on tab 1,
2 - user clicks a button on tab 1,
3 - the program does what it needs to do and automatically switches to tab 2
For instance, here is the button that will be clicked:
Private Sub swap_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles swap.Click
If video = False Then
[Code].....
So the button will make the web browser go somewhere, I just want to have the form switch to the other tab automatically so that the user doesn't have to do it. I tried using webbrowser1.focus() to no avail. Is there a tab switch?
