I have written a very simple Windows Forms App. which copies files from my hard drive to my USB flash drive.The app. works ok, but while it is running (copying files) the title bar displays (not responding).I have an idea this is due to the time it takes to do a large copy.
I have two questions:First, I want to add a progress bar, as a visual indication as to how much is left to copy, but I don't know how write the code required for the progress bar when copying say: C:*.* (including all sub-directories)
Second, to stop the (not responding) message being displayed in the title bar. Would I need to run the copy as a background process? If so, how?

View 3 RepliesI have a program which runs mainly though a NotifyIcon in the bottum right of my windows screen (XP). Whenever I open the ContextMenuStrip that appears when the icon is right clicked, a box also appears in the task bar. I also have nested menus inside the menu (mouse over one item leads to another menu), and each additional menu also creates a taskbar box upon appearing. So once I am at the third or fourth nested menu, there would be 3 or 4 windows appearing in the taskbar. After the menu disapears, so do the windows in the taskbar.How can I stop the taskbar from displaying boxes to represent these menus? I have done nothing in my code as far as I know to create this type of behavior. I have searched for similar problems but have found nothing similar. There is no "showintaskbar" property for these items as far as I can see, and no other property that I can find which would affect this. I have investigated the owner of the contextmenustrip since I read the owner may effect these type of behaviors, but that doesnt seem to be helpful as there isn't an owner property of the contextmenustrip.

View 39 RepliesI want to make a program that will (by timeing) click continuously until I press the stop button or a key like f12.

View 2 RepliesI've been working on a program that generates a batch file, then when you press a button, it executes that batch file. There are multiple batch files attached to each item in the list box.
[code]...
The only thing that it does when I press the button, is starts the batch file, then goes to function searchtitle, which executes the batch file again when it finds out it didn't work properly.The button text doesn't change, none of the items are being added to my first list box, and I can't do anything to the window after pressing the button. It constantly opens the batch file every 5 seconds or so.
Out of curiosity, is there a way i can make a program stop or pause for a period of time (which i would choose) before continuing the code WITHOUT a timer.I think I've seen this done before, but I'm not positive.Also note that I'm talking about a forms application (not a console app if that would be any different.)
View 3 RepliesI have written a very simple program to simulate the operation of some electrical relays which respond to buttons pressed on a form.The important thing in the program is the pick and drop times of the relays so I use about 40 timers to simulate the operation
of the relays each stimulated either by another timer or the operation of a mousedown operation over an area of the window which has a GIF background.
The program works great when simulated within VB2010 Xpress but when I publish and install on either of my 2 laptops it freezes and does not respond to the mousedown procedures. It seems slightly better if I don't enable XP visual syles but still does not respond enough to be used. I am running 12 procs each time a continous timer runs out but altering the value of the timer does not make any difference. I've also noticed if I minimise the window and reopen the window it does move on slightly but still never responds to the mouse.
Also the timers in the program for the relay times seem to work at strange values and not those set sometimes? It seems to work OK on my main PC if I install it
here is my script:
Private Sub UpdateThread()
Dim AppDir As String = Application.StartupPath()
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(MyUpdate.UpdateFetchURL,
[Code]...
It does perfectly the UpdateThread task, but program just hangs.
I am making a mass emailing system that reads off of a xml document and sends an email based on the stored object made from the XML tags.This program will have to send hundreds if not thousands of emails out. I made a test XML document with 160 emails to be sent out to my address.The program gets a (not responding) after about 10-15 emails, (although it keeps sending). Also the email sent counter lable doesn't change at all during the sending, the progress bar works however.Also, when I tried running it it stopped at 140 emails.

I have created a little program that helps me keep track of tons of data by inserting it into sql. I created 5 forms and all 5 can insert data at the same time, but mostly just 1 of these is working continuously. I have noticed that the program will run, then at random times it will stop responding (can't minimize/click on anything/data entry stops), and the only way to stop is to kill the task. I can't even click in the debugger to set a break point when it happens, and setting breakpoints before debugging is useless as the program could run 2 hours and stop, or 10 minutes and stop. 5 forms, they open different excel files, insert data into sql, and repeat.
View 5 RepliesI am puzzled by a delay in my data appearing (sql sever) when I open my program. (this can be around 5 to 6 seconds). If I open it a second time it appears instantly, have I done something wrong, or not done something. I have connect to a MS access database that connection is instant always.

I have been tasked with creating an application that once a specific event is encountered, an email is sent to a specific inbox. The problem is that our anti virus stops all email coming from an "unqualified" executable. Fair enough. So my question is, how do I manually stop the anti virus service(s) using vb.net then restart them once the email was sent? I know in a DOS window I could use net stop "ServiceName" but I don't know how to translate that to be used in vb.net.
