Press A Button It Maps 2 Drives Updates A Registry Value And Then Starts A Executable?
Sep 21, 2011
I have a program that when you press a button it maps 2 drives, updates a registry value and then starts a executable which is stored in a SQL table. I'm having issues after the file opens. The program it opens does not seem to be working quite right. When you open the program by clicking on the .exe it works file.When I call it from the app, I have issues with the program after it opens. Can someone explain to me the difference between double clicking an .exe and using process.start? Is there a different way to do it? My code is listed below.

Why does my app not load the saved user scope my.settings when it starts by way of the registry run key? This key starts programs after the user login, per microsoft. So why does it not load the saved user settings? The program does start up, but all the areas on the form where saved user scope settings should be, are the default values (mostly empty strings). (The user scope settings are there if I start my program by the desktop shortcut
I've looked, searched, posted to other forums, but can't seem to find an answer.

I know similar questions have been asked/answered, but after looking across the net for 2 days I still haven't really seen an answer to the following question.rst, background info: My application starts at windows start as a user checkbox option (by using the run key in the registry.) I don't know if it is usual or not, but when the app auto starts on windows start, no saved user settings show up on the form (but they do when starting the program manually after windows is already running). I've tried both HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. In case anyone needs or wants it, my code for accessing the registry is:
Dim Reg As Object
Reg = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")
Reg.RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMICROSOFTWINDOWSCURRENTVERSIONRUN" &

Using 2 forms how would I click one button, from another form? ie In VB 4,5,6, I would used to do it as:-
Form 1:
private sub Command1_Click()
msgbox "Say Hello"
End Sub[code].....
If I clicked the button in form2, it would automaticlly, click the button in form1. Do I, do it the same way in VB Express or has it changed?

For Each row As GridViewRow In GridView6.Rows

I can get the program to easily, upon startup, look for updates and then install them. I want to have a button that the user can click that will check/install updates.

i have a button in my application that starts a function to play sounds.But when the function starts a have a problem that my application stops working until all the sounds are played. Then a want to display a waiting screen to show the status of the current application. To this i thought to create a new thread to open the waiting window and then show the messages.
But i have a problem that when my thread finishes, it closes the waiting screen. I tryied to put a loop inside my thread, but this crashes my aplication until the loop condition is satisfied.

I have a few questions:
1. how do I make a button press a certain button in another application? (i.e - for example it goes to application "iexplorer" and press insert, home, a, b, or other button in the keyboard)
2. How do I make a virtual keyboard (for example a button opens form 2 or 3 and when you click on a button in the keyboard it goes to a certain text box in form 1)?

I am trying to understand how the binding navigator buttons are actually working.
I started by creating a table called "Students" in MS Access,
I then "dragged and dropped" that table onto my VB form after importing the data connection.
When I debug, I click the add new (the yellow plus "+") then I type info into my fields (700_Number, First_Name, MI, Last_Name). (700_Number=Primary Key)
After I am finished typing into the four text boxes, I click save. If I end my program then start the debugger again, the record is still there...it goes away only if I change some of the code anywhere in my program.
Also, I am trying to use the record I just put into my database for another part of my program. I use this line of code:
MsgBox(frmAddStudent.DrByrdsTaskListAppDBDataSet.Tables("Students").Rows(0))
This is just to see if what I am trying to put into my database is actually making it there. Every time I run, this message box turns up blank.

I have a program that outputs a file. I want the user to be able to just double-click the output file and launch the program, just like Word and Excel. In Word for instance, one doesn't necessarily have to open WORD then click on File--> Open and locate another Word doc. He can just go to the folder and open the Word doc. I want to implement the exact scenario in my program.
So far I have tried creating TextFile and added it to the Resources. On FormLoading, I simply I stream-read the Resouce file, but I can't write to the Resource on FormClosing, since the Resource is ReadOnly. Also, the Resource is built & compiled so I suppose you can't add anything to it at run time.How you lunch an output file without launching the Executable program that created it?

I have an executable that I was able to get working on all XP machines by registering all the .dll's associated with it.On Vista, however, I go through the exact same registration process but right when I open the executable it goes to a "WindowsApplication1 has stopped working" dialog. I registered the DLLs in the SysWOW64 folder. I also ran Dependency Walker which came up with IEFrame.dll as flagged, don't know if that is relevant though.

It's probably the most basic of things, but all I can find is how to launch a program, and not with the interactions I desire. Any tips as to the terms to use to search for answers, or links to topics regarding questions similar to mine, would be very appreciated. I have a wealth of info to read through, but I could use your knowledge to save myself time.Here is what I am trying to do:
Use a Button (A) to Launch a Prompt where User Selects Directory Path to an executable Program. The Selection is to be Persistent after the initial selection (saved in a settings file i assume?), and the Selected Path (or just "programname.exe") is to be Displayed in a Text Field (B). Launch Selected and Indicated Program via a Launch Button (C)

Basically, I have developed one form which is generic and display different views. On that form I have used Close button. Alphabet E is short-cut for closing the form (i.e. mnemonic functionality).During execution of the form, when I press "E" on that form, my form closes automatically. As per my understanding mnemonic works with Alt control only. I am not sure if I am missing any properties that should be set so that this problem is resolved.

I have recorded this macro that attaches to a process (nunit.exe) for me. Now I'd like to press a button (named "Run") on the window of the process I am attaching to, but how? I have recorded this macro:
Sub DebugNUnit()
DTE.ExecuteCommand("Tools.ExternalCommand6")
'need a short delay for nunit process to appear in process list:
Threading.Thread.Sleep(200)
[Code]...
I am using nunit 2.5.7 and for attaching and debugging to work you need to attach to the nunit agent and press run on the nunit gui, for more recent versions of nunit you can attach to the nunit gui.the above script enables nunit debugging from the Visual Studio IDE with just visual Studio and the nunit binaries. all you need to do is set up nunit as an external tool (with the current project as a parameter), create a custom toolbar, and add a button to that toolbar that uses the above script. this will start nunit, attach to it, start running the tests, and break at your breakpoint.
one more thing: in the nunit gui disable "Save Visual state of each Project" in Tools -> Settings -> Tree Display or the nunit gui will remember the last run test, which is a pain if that's not the one you wanted to debug.
