is it possible to have the open programs on my computer viewed in a list, and have the abbily to minimize and restore if so, what are the codes for it and what do i have to attach it ro (butten etc) it is for my OS i am making.
View 1 RepliesThey are all working on my computer,but they are not working on any other computer(I tested it on about 10 computers). They are working when i start making it,but after they are not working. When i try to run it on other computer it is not opening(there is not any error message), or there is a crash report(application crashes). So they are working on beginning of programming, and after they aren't.

View 5 Repliesfirst, what is the base minimum that windows needs open to run... ex. svchost.exe, explorer, etc.
Second. is there an easier way to close all programs except the ones i want to stay open, i want to keep the needed basics open and my program, which will open other programs, but i want to make sure nothing else is running so that things will go as smoothly and as fast as possible. I just don't want to manually check what processes need killed and place them in the program one by one, i want to kill all but a few.
Extra credit... stopping all unneeded windows services would be nice too, but that would probably be too long of a process to worry about, and not really worth it considering the benefit of speed it would give.
I will do a program then save it and close it out but when I go back to open it it won't open. It just sits there. I'll click on Recent Projects and they won't open. I'll click on Open Project and select a existing file and it will just put it in Recent Projects but won't open it up.

How to get list of installed programs into my listbox?
View 5 RepliesI'd like to mention that getting a list of the installed programs via the registry is not a viable way to receive a full an accurate list. The two main areas where the programs in the registry are stored, are mainly MS programs. Some manufacturers put their keys here as well, but most don't. And since it's impossible to know where the manufacturer has stored the key, let alone the name of the key that would give the list and the uninstall capability, it's not ideal to use the registry.
That being said, I was told that there is a COM API that Microsoft has made and uses in the Windows OS and was hoping someone knew what that API is and how to maybe implement it in VB.
Is there a way to get a list of programs from the registry?

I want to move my programs and the database to another computer and hard-disks. It looks to me as though I nearly have to re-create the controls and rewrite some of the code to make it so the programs still work after the move. At least with ODBC all I would change was the DSN definitions external to the programs. Is there an easy way to move or rename a database without loads of work?

I haven't been able to find much on the error. It seems like it is a pretty generic one and can fit into a lot of different scenarios.

I've copied a project from one computer to another and while I can open the project and its one module, when I try to open any of the forms, I get this error:
Quote: There is no editor available for 'C:UsersDaBoyesDesktopWattsDBForm6.vb'.
Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed. I can open the forms just fine on their own--I just can't open them from within the project.
I am sure this can be done, as Visual Studio is basically built this way. What I want to do is simply make a class that my other workmates can use. But rather than have it in a code form, I want to build it (partially), and then my workmate can add it into their programs (sort of, like the add reference for the .NET stuff).
View 4 RepliesI have a program that needs to access the files that are open by another program on the computer.When my application comes up I can easily see if the other application is running with the .net Process.GetProcessesByName method
Dim MyProcesses() as Process = GetProcessesByName("AnApplication")
For Each Instance as Process in MyProcesses
If MsgBox("application is running - do you want to end it?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo or MsgBoxStyle.Question, "Warning") = MsgBoxResult.Yes then
[code].....
The problem is that the Instance.Kill does not allow the application to end gracefully. In VB6 you could use the SendMessage API to send a close message to the application and it would end gracefully - i.e. give the user the normal closing prompt. This just slays the application - leaving any open files in their potentially incomplete state, etc.
