View 3 RepliesIn my program I am trying to make a button that would add a shortcut to activate a running application by a process ID. In a form I have 2 text-boxes 1 for the name of the shortcut that would be shown in the tool-strip-menu-item. Then the other for the process name. Then when the user presses a button I would like the text of the text-box for the name to be added to a tool-strip-menu-item, then the other text-box used for the Process ID to be added to the fallowing code: (the tool-strip-menu-item is in another form)
Dim processID As Integer
processID = Shell("Process ID
", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)

View 4 RepliesI have been using this as a short cut to log into many things as it saves me time and I have previously set up code to log into a website and launch the program but now it does not work because the site has changed.
What i use was Invoke to press the login button but the problem now is that there is no "id" for the object i wish to be clicking. Let me explain..
Here is the code i have:
WebBrowser1.Document.All("tbID").SetAttribute("value", ID.Text)
WebBrowser1.Document.All("tbPass").SetAttribute("value", Password.Text)
For Each InputBx As HtmlElement In WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input")
[CODE]...
But the part i cannot fix is this: (due to the part not having an "id" and i cannot manually put on there like i did for my site i had)
WebBrowser1.Document.All("LogBtn").InvokeMember("click")
In the source code this is what i have to work with:
<div id="m-start">
<ul><li class="bg-login login-module">
<input id="tbID" type="text">
<input id="tbPass" type="password">
[CODE]...
This is the part of which i wish to click but it has no "id" : <input value="Login" class="login" type="submit">

View 14 RepliesI am noticing a discrepancy between a full path specified for a VBScript Shortcut IconLocation and the subsequent mangled result that only becomes noticeable when I wish to manually change the Shortcut's Icon. Somewhere after the oShortcut.save call, the mangling occurs.
The icon is always properly displayed on the Shortcut. However, programs that exist only in the 32-bit "C:Program Files (x86)" location result in an error message that states, "Windows can't find the file %ProgramFiles%<etc>." (where <etc> is the remainder of the path).
The Visual Basic Script as well as my Command Prompt both show %ProgramFiles% as "C:Program Files (x86)", yet the Shortcut/Windows Explorer dialog always interpret it as the 64-bit Program directory. This may indicate a low level flawed interaction, a contention of definitions.
Input/Output examples:
IN: Hard coded to the call to oShortcut.IconLocation = "<Full Path>,0"
OUT: The text shown in the error message after I click "Change Icon...".
These ONLY exist in "C:Program Files (x86)":
IN: C:Program Files (x86)AdobeReader 10.0ReaderAcroRd32.exe
OUT: %ProgramFiles%AdobeReader 10.0ReaderAcroRd32.exe
[Code]....
Note the %SystemDrive% adds a further insane mangling of the 64-bit path. This one luckily seems to be a benign error for the moment. The errors are not even consistent. Has anyone at Microsoft ever heard of quality control?
I'm trying to build a simple FTP uploader. How can I make it so the user can select a file to upload? See, what I want is to have a button (which I do) that a user can click, and it shows the OpenFileDialog (which I have), but then when they select a file, I want its path to be shown in a text box.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to create a shortcut for my program that sends the user to the world map of a website with the press of a button, but it isn't working. Here's my code:
Private Sub Game_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Game.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.M Then
Game.Navigate("http:fallensword.com/index.php?cmd=world")
End If
End Sub
"Game" is a WebBrowser control.

It works fine when i try the app from within Visual Studio. But when i install it it won�t find the database because it was installed elsewhere.Is there a way to control where the DB is installed and follow that route? Does this depend on the OS the app is installed? Or did I face the problem wrong and i should do something completely different with my button?
I'm trying to extract the icon from a shortcut (lnk file), but I end up with the shortcut symbol in the lower-left hand corner of the image. How can I extract a shortcut's icon without this symbol?
Here's the code I'm using:
Dim ico As System.Drawing.Icon = System.Drawing.Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon("C:shortcut.lnk")
im trying to make an application which on start ask the user to browse for a .lnk file Once the lnk file has been browsed,the application is shown and there are two buttons
1.Launch
2.Exit
When The Launch Button Is Clicked,The .lnk File which the user browsed to at application startup should open. On exit,well it just exits the application! and the openfiledialog should pop up only for the first time the user ever opens the application.the file path should be stored in a .txt or .ini or registry file so that next time he doesnt have to browse for it again..how would i go about doing this!Here is my code so far!

View 18 RepliesI have an internet explorer shortcut on my desktop that I am trying to copy to other machines. I am getting a file does not exist error (source file). I know the source file is there, but I still get the error. Any ideas? Here is the line of code where I am getting the error. I have tried with lnk and without lnk extension.
File.Copy("C:Documents and SettingsadminDesktopEmergencyBreakDow� strPath, True)
I'm using "File = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()" to open a file when dragged onto my application's icon. When I drag a document's shortcut icon onto the app icon, it tries to open the actual .lnk file instead of the file that it points to.
