Make Console Type In A Command And Hit Enter By Itself With Form
Mar 6, 2009
Note: I'm using VB express 2008 I would mostly like to learn about the console application. Like how to make it type in a command and hit enter by itself. The project I'm working on is a booter for my iPod (Long story) I would like to be able to- 1- Either click a button on a form and have the console pop up and input
Is there a way in VB to make something that will simulate an advanced command prompt inside of a Windows Form? For example, something like a greenscreen app?
I'm trying to make a kind of an auto typer but it's should only type it once a then press enter.I want it to wrtite a string when i press a button.For ex: if I press full ammo button it should write:
player_sustainammo 1
It should wrtite it in another window.Iv'e come this far.
I would like to have a command prompt type interface on my form. The only thing I am aware of is a textbox, but there are no facilities to have commands and output scroll without keeping the entire history in a variable. That would be an ever increasing variable, which is ridiculous. Is there an alternate way to use a textbox as a command prompt, or is there something else I can do. Another note, is the use of an array. I know I can increase an array with commands, but this is no good either, because some responses in the box need to be paragraphs in length, so even a separate array for command and output is too cumbersome.
Dim number = TextBox1.Text If number < 1 Or number > 100 Then MessageBox.Show("You must enter a value between 1 and 100", "Name Entry Error", _ MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) Exit Sub End If Whenever I enter anything other than a numeric value; the form crashes.
I am trying to make a form that you can enter a serial (to validate the product) this is my code :
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged Dim T1 As String = TextBox1.Text Dim T2 As String = TextBox2.Text Dim T3 As String = TextBox3.Text
[CODE]...
The problem is when i first open my application and i enter my code it goes red, but when i re-enter the code in textbox 1 it works fine, how can i make it work without re-typing?
according to the assignment my program fills the requirements, however it's a real pita to constantly change the dates in the program every time I want to run different date values. Is there a way to have the user input a date? Initially I thought something like;
purchaseDate = new datetime(console.readline())
but this blows up. I get an error that sounds something like invalid data type cannot convert double to long... it's a very unhappy looking error heh
Anyhow, I've spent several hours digging through the MSDN Library but I'm not finding it which assumes it can be done in this format.
after reading a few other posts I don't want folks thinking I'm trying to be sly so...
Dim datePurchased, datePaid As DateTime Dim str1, str2 As String Dim compare1 As Double
i want to make a form with movable command buttons.the aim is that these buttons will represent the computers that are installed in one room.or the tables in one bar.all the tables can change depending the order that user give.
I'm making a console app that uses your name and then asks for a password and displays the text. So the start is like this
18:36:01 [Info] Program is started. 18:36:01 [Info] Please enter your name. NAME GOES HERE AND THEN ENTER TO PROCEED 18:36:04 [Info] Hello Xoslize, Please enter the password. Password Goes Here and then Enter to Proceed Some Text Goes Here
How do I do that? I mean the enter to type text, etc. Btw, how about using color on every word?
I want to make live search form like when user enter 1 char then it ll find all data start with or contain letter.i have use the sql like query with textbox textchanged event but it is too slow any other method to make it fast?
I'm writing a console Application in VB.NET. I give user a list of menus to choose from and the last one is Enter 'Q' to quit. what command will actually close the console window.
I'm Trying to write a Cisco Command Line Parser to have an automated Graphical User Interface replacement for the Cisco console output. I have been able to get the ping time using Regular Expressions from a ping output and graph it, but am now stuck with more detailed out put of other commands like "Show interfaces" command, how I can parse the Show Interface command output and extract all the useful info which i need?
Just wondering if there is anyway to read each line of text that is output from a console application?
Basically I want to use PSEXEC through a vb.net GUI application and I would like to be able to read any error codes that may occur from the command line.
I would like to create a console program in VB.net that would allow parameters. What i would like to do is in the code below add parameters so the webpart page can be created from the Run menu. e.g. C:.......MyProgram.exe "Design" --This would then create the Design webpart page.
I tried looking at the internet but was not very successfull.
Module Main Public Sub Main(ByVal args As String()) Dim prj As String
I am working in VB. I have a fairly long and detailed explanation that I'll avoid posting but what I'm looking to find is quite simple. I'm looking for information how the command line executable LAME.EXE (the Mp3 encoder) returns information to the host program/form.
I am a VB novice and a novice to programming in general and am looking to learn more about as much as I can on the whole but basically I have a Windows form that gathers all the necessary information as a front-end:
The input .wav file path The output .mp3 file destination
The encode settings (bitrate, frequency, etc)This information is pooled in to a string like this: lame.exe -v -b 112 input.wav output.mp3 or any variant on the settings selected in the GUI which is then in turn used to execute LAME.EXE with the set of parameters in a command line console...That's all well and good and it is quite functional but what I'm looking to do is to 'hide' the console in itself and have the encoder feed back its progress, say as a percentage inside the GUI.
The problem is that it doesn't appear that LAME in itself has this kind of functionality explicitly built in. I know it's possible however, as every single front end in the world has this functionality.I have tried a few ways of doing this with avoiding the issue of not being able to find the functionality within the codec. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place entirely or I'm not thinking correctly 'outside the box' as it were.
what I'm looking for is to use a command like this within the script itself: lame(v,b,112,"C:input.wav","c:output.mp3") or even pass the parameters obtained from the GUI a string formatted dynamically on the fly itself.I expect of course that this kind of functionality won't be available anywhere at all, what I'm really looking for as a workaround that reports the actions/progress/console output of the executable back in to the VB program somehow.
I have both the VB and C# versions of Visual Studio 2008 Express. When I run a console application in either version, instead of the console opening in an old DOS style command window like it does in VS 2005, it actually blacks out both monitors attached to my computer and treats the entire screen real estate as the console.Anyone know how to get the app to run in a small command-type window when I run it? It's like the console is running Full Screen. If I set a break point, switch from the IDE t the console and then hit Alt+Enter it switches to the small window that I want, but I still can't figure out how to make the app start with the console that way.I could post a screenshot but it would look like a big black square...no window, no frame, just the inky blackness of frustration.
I am running a command on all computers from a list. I am trying to get back a text file that says PASS or FAIL for each computer. I am using the below StreamWriter and function process. The process runs correctly and it rights to both a data file and an error log. The error log however always says PASS for everything. do I know what to set the if consoleOutput = "????" to?
Using swrr As New StreamWriter(ErrorLog, True) For Each strUserName As String In strLines Dim ConsoleOutput As String = GetCMDOutput(strUserName, saveFileDialog3.FileName & ".txt",
I am new to Visual Basic and i started to write a console application. I it working fine by now, but I tried to execute a command like shutdown -s I tried that by writing
console.writeline("shutdown -s")
but all it dows it displays the text and does not shutdown the computer. How do I code that correctly???
