1. Is there a way to use a smaller Active X SDK installation rather than the full (~450 MB) one to play MP3 in VB 2008?2. Is there a loop command (as with a wave file) in case using Media Player to play MP3 in VB 2008?
View 1 RepliesI failed to get any interest/response with this question on the VBExpress forum. Surely most of you have to write help documents to go along with your programs. I have used HTML Help files for years to support my programs and before that WinHelp but in 2002 MS indicated time change to Microsoft Assistance Markup Language (MAML). I am a little behind. Google hits for the acronym or full title are minimal. What are you guys using today?
View 3 RepliesI have a preloader app that runs before the Main application and performs an Update check.. (and then installs the latest update) it's come in very handy at the current client I'm at as there are going to be several hundred installations of the App on site.. Also it's a Live Development.. (One app that handles the Full Plant Monitoring and maintenance) .. But that's not the problem..
The Preloader simply checks on the server if there's a new Update, Copies it down and then runs the Main app.Now there are several Configurable routes through the app: Quick, Skip, Auto, For now the Default is Ask.. and in this mode, if there is an update, the Preloader will ask if you want to install it, if not it will wait 10 seconds and start the Main app.
My problem is If there is no user interaction with the Preloader, windows thinks that it terminated incorrectly, and throws up one of those "This program has stopped working" (similar to image below).
If the user however simply clicks the Done that clears the timer, or clicks the Yes/No for the update, no problems.
[Code]...
So the problem .. If there is NO user interaction, Windows (XP Sp2 mostly) thinks it crashed.What can i include to let windows know that the application does not require User Interaction.

I started with VB 6.0 back when i was 14, I was mostly into coding programs that interacted with other programs. Recently I installed VB.net 2005 pro i got from school, and i grabbed few source codes that teach show interaction, I feel so dumb, i dont remember anything lol.

View 1 RepliesAlright, my program requires a folder to put the save files in, and it works fine to create it when I know where the program was installed to. I want to assume that everyone will install to C:/Program Files... however, one cannot assume. Is there a way for me to find out where the program was installed to ie. D:/WorkPrograms/ProgramHere, instead of the Program files? Specifically, is there some sort of code that I can run at startup to find where the program file is, so I can keep all the save files in there?
View 3 RepliesI have created a setup project that after the installation, starts the app that is being installed. To do that I have added an Installer class to the app I want to get started and I am using it's commited event to start the app (Process.Start("...myapp.exe").
While this works fine on XP, on Windows Vista the application gets started as a "System" user which makes some parts of the app missbehave i.e. retreiving special folders of the user etc...
This is the question: way to start myapp as the logged in user? Mind you I will not have the credentials of the users.

View 3 RepliesI have a Windows Form Application which has been developed in vb.net 3.5. It is a charting program and shows stock market charts to users. Now I have made another program in vb.net (same .net version) and I want this program to interact with the one I made before. The new program is like a small scripting language. So for example: if I run a script then its output should be reflected in the other program. How can the two programs communicate ? Both will be running on same systems. No remote stuff. I mean passing arrays,strings or possibly structures.
Plus I have several functions which are written in first program. Is it possible for the other program which is an .exe also to call the functions of the other one if I make sub/function public or something. The reason is we can calls functions or subs if we include a dll. But can one exe calls functions/sub of another exe (if both program are in .net).
the only way I can get reading from an instrument is through proprietary software. even though it is connected with USB. the instrument - a Cary 500, with a GPIB interface.the problem is with instrument commands, like "reset" or "change wavelength" or "instrument reading" They reside inside a primitive Basic shell provided by the instrument software. I'm looking at expencive National Instruments, is there another solution with VS/NET?

View 1 RepliesI am using VB 2008 express. I created a setup file for installation using the publish command. When I install on another computer, it installs under the documents and settings directory. I want it to install under program files like most other programs.
I've search everywhere on the web for this. The closest thing i could find was talking about the DefaultFolder under the projects applications folder. I don't see that option. I can specify all the publication directories - but these are strictly for where VB creates the setup file at - not where the setup file installs it. Frankly it would be really nice to be able to allow the user to specify the directory as an option, with program files as the default. But for now I'd be happy to just be able to change the default install directory for my app.
I seem to be having an issue with Building my application. THe programs builds just fine,but when you install the program and then run the program it wants to act like its configuring the program, prior to running the actual program.I get a windows box that pops up stating its configuring the program and then it runs.But it only happens when I access the program through the shortcuts that I have the program create when it installs. If I go directly to the program directory and click on the program there, it starts just fine.

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 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.
