My problem is: the program does not load the embedded Dll at startup. I have no idea what may the problem, because I use this code in my older programs and that worked. But now I just got an object not found (the object is in the embedded Dll) error message.
Is it possible to embed a code or something that can be used to verify an image? In my current project I need to load images and I want to have a code or something that my project can read from the image file before it loads it.Select Image -> Check if embedded code is valid -> Load pic on PictureBox
Is there a way I can load 2 forms on startup, but immediately hide one of them? I want to load both initially, so that there is no flicker the first time when the second form appears.
My application has encountered a problem and needs to close.Of course Microsoft is sorry for the inconvenience, but how am i supposed to debug my app?Which dll fails to load?
The error report contains between others, system.io.fileloadexception
I haven't used VB in decades and I'm restarting with what I thought would be a simple program. I have two fields on a little form, both of which display a date (dd/mm/yyyy). Field1 is an entry field except on load where is contains a date calculated from field2 (which is 'now' upon application load). Field1 is 'now' + 10 days. This is the default state.
Once loaded (with the data described above), the user can input only in field1. Field2, an inactive field used only for display, is field1 - 10 days. After 15 seconds, fields 1 and 2 revert to their default states as described in the first paragraph. I'm getting all messed up with the 'on load' state. I'll start playing with the timer once I get the initial stuff done.
how i can write a program to create a shortcut in the startup folder of a different program. So i have one program on my computer that should run at startup, i just need another program to create a shortcut to it, and then copy this shortcut into the startup folder.
I have an MDI parent screen that loads on startup and a lot of child forms that load when opening. So as the child forms load there's a lot of flashing and it looks really ugly. Once they're loaded all I have to do is use a bring to front, maximized command and it works smoother than closing a form and opening a new one every time a different form is selected. I've tried creating a splash screen, minimizing the forms on load, etc and everything still works in order so first the splash screen then the forms load.
How would you set it up so a splash screen stays on top of all other forms for like 5 seconds while the forms load in the background without seeing them load? Right now the screen shows then when it's done it moves on to step 2 which is loading the child forms. If no splash screen, how do I make it load so you don't see all the child forms opening at once?
this is the code i am using to add my program to registry startup
Public Shared Sub AddStartup(ByVal Name As String, ByVal Path As String) Dim Registry As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine Dim Key As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey =

however, when i deploy the application and install it....it doesnt work because it says "Requested registry access is not allowed", which i figured it would probably do...
how could I make a program in vb.net 2008 with a preferences window have a checkbox on it to make the program startup on windows logon. I already have a program that I have previously done here(how to minimize program to systray) and wanted to implement it. I know that I have to work with the checkedchange event, but just dont know how to make the program run on startup.
I'm programming a desktop application similar to Google desktop but with my own gadget with vb.net 2008 how can i make my application when the user install it on their computer to run at the time of start up ? let assume that my application name is windowsAplication1 and I'm using windows XP and the program will be installed on C drive?
how to make my program run on windows startup as a system application oh and the program should check if already exists in the registry as a startup app becouse otherwise it will give errors...
I have made a program with vb.net and I want that program to run when the windows start up. I don't know the code. I want that program to add the window startup when he/she install the program.
Im making a small tool that helps gamers keep track of their kills and deaths, and their kill/death ratio.I calculate ratio on startup of the program, straight after kills and deaths are loaded off my website.Dim ratio As Decimal ratio = Val(txt_kills.Text / txt_deaths.Text) At the moment, kills = 172 and deaths = 145. Ratio results in 1,1862068. How can I round this number up and turn this into a number with 2 integers after the dot? ( 1.19 ) I tried a hundred things so far but I cannot figure this out.
I'm making a really complex program that will run only on windows XP (it will synchronize more 100 computers just like a net cafe). How can i make the executable run at startup? For every user not only e.g. Administrator...
1. This is the path for the application startup: Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Startup) Does the same path exists but for all the users ?
2. Is this possible through modifying the registry ?
I want my users to be able to have my program open on startup. I am coding in vb.net. How can I go about doing this?I can't find a "system startup" folder anywhere that I could just copy a shortcut to.
i am trying to make my own user authentication system after i log on with the windows authentication. I want the program to automatically start on startup and i want to enable:
NoDeletePrinter : Disables printer deletion NoAddPrinter : Disables printer adding NoRun : Removes run from the start menu NoSetFolders : Removes folders from the Settings option on Start Menu NoSetTaskbar : Removes taskbar settings
[Code]..
Because i dont want someone else to just delete or tamper with the files that my program made to authenticate me. After i enter my credentials in my program and they are correct i want to disable these. I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express and my computer is Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium.
I have made a userform in AutoCAD, I made some buttons where I want to start software from.The programm I want to run is started by an VBScript from the manufacturer.When I double click the VBScript the program starts, but trying to execute if from a button_click on my AutoCAD userform it returns that I am missing MSVCR70.dll files.The missing file is in the folder of the program I want to run, aswel in my System32 folder.I tried to execute it the next ways:
Process.Start("C:WINDOWSsystem32cscript.exe", """C:Program Files (x86)ProgramRun.vbs") and
Process.Start("C:Program Files (x86)ProgramRun.vbs") What is going wrong ?
I wanted to know how and if it is possible to make a button that would tell the app to shut down the computer and then load a program from startup like knoppix or something.
This program I made crashes on startup, I do not know what I am doing wrong, can anybody help me? Here is the code Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Timer1.Enabled = True End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick AppActivate("Chat Window") Do SendKeys.Send(TextBox1.Text) SendKeys.Send((Chr(13))) Loop End Sub End Class
I'm trying to install an app on a windows server that is always on, but I'm running into problems. I've heard that I shouldn't make it a windows service (and would personally rather have a dialog app so I can see progress, etc) so I'm trying to use task scheduler. However, task scheduler keeps trying to close my app prematurely when it should only open it and leave it open.how I could have a dialog app run on startup (and stay running) on my server?
I have set my program up to run on system startup like so:
Code: Private Sub enableRunOnSystemStartup() My.Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun", True).SetValue(Application.ProductName, Application.ExecutablePath) End Sub
The problem is that when it does start, it opens up in a window. I wish to provide the user with 4 options for what to do on system startup.
1. Don't run on system start. 2. Run and open a window. 3. Run but start minimized to the taskbar. 4. Run but start minimized to the system tray.
It's options 3 and 4 that cause the problem. If the user starts the program manually, it should start in window mode, but if the program starts from system startup, I need to check which option the user has selected and perform that option.
I was thinking of passing some sort of parameters to the program when it loads but I am not sure how these parameters could be sent to the program. One way would be to create a separate program that loads on system startup. When that program loads, tell it to load my program but pass a parameter to it to tell it that it was booted from startup. I feel like there should be a better way.
I was also thinking of getting the time of the last system bootup. Then comparing it with the current time, although this might not work if the user loaded my program as soon as they logged on.
A third idea I came up with was to use a shortcut to the exe file and check if the program was executed using that shortcut. I could place the shortcut in the folder ...AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup as opposed to adding it to the registry. But would this work on other Windows operating systems? I'm using Windows 7.
Ideally, this program should be able to run on other computers, but if that is too complicated, I'd rather just get it running on mine first.
Also, in case anyone is interested, my program creates a copy of the user's files on a separate drive, although I don't think this affects what I am trying to do with checking if my program was launched at system startup.
I dont know how to do this at all. How can I make a program that can manage the startup programs (ex. Disable, delete, enable, exc. the startup programs) I don't know where to start. On a separate note, how can I make a file that executes multiple programs? I will provide more detail if needed.
I'm trying trying to add a feature to a program i'm working on that puts the start up programs on a system into a listview.
The start up items are stored in the following registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
What I would like to do is read the Program Name value under the Name Column in the registry and the Data Value under the Data value and put these values into the listview in two seperate columns like Msconfig utility see the screen shot.
I'm familiar with working with the registry in .NET, but I can't seem to get this to work. I believe I would need to loop through each registyvaluename under this key and get the name and value.
