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)?

View 1 RepliesUsing 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?

View 2 RepliesI'm using my.settings to store different communication parameters. After changing parameters, for several reasons, it's easier to restart the application then to re-initialize all objects/variables/etc using program code.
When I change my.settings and use save to save them. When I quit the application and manually start it again, the newly saved settings are used.
When I use either .restart, or application.exit in combination with process.start. The application will use the old values for my.settings.
If I read up on .restart there's a remark mentioning that it will restart the application using the initially used settings.
Before restarting the application, I manually checked if the new settings were really save to the user.config file, and they were.
My question: Is there a way to restart the application using either .restart, or application.exit in combination with process.start which will use the newly saved my.settings values?
I'm looking for some code that will reload a form, so its like a Restart Level button which when clicked will reset the form to its original look.
View 1 RepliesI've deployed an application inside a corporate network and I want the update process to require less attention from users. Giving them a choice to update is not a porogative.I've written code to detect when new updates are available automatically rather than letting ClickOnce check on application start. I'm wondering if its necessary to restart the app after the update has completed. Currently I invoke at the end of my update script:Application.Restart()
But what if (to make the update process more transparent for the user), I performed a 'silent' update in the background on a separate thread, and then displayed an icon prompting the user to restart the app to apply the changes? Would it work this way?
Furthermore, if I ran my custom InstallUpdate() process on a timer, say every 2 hours, would ClickOnce be happy to continue to update for every new version that was released even thought the user has not restarted (and I'm expecting the updates only to apply once the user restarts the app)?
Is it possible to restart a VB.NET application, but with different command line arguments than it originally had? Here is the challenge. I want to write a single instance application. If the second instance has the same CL args as the first, then the built-in behavior is fine (second instance never opens, e.BringToForeground=True brings 1st instance to foreground, everything is great). But if the second instance has different CL args, then I would like the first instance to close and the second instance to start. However, once you mark a VB.NET app as "single instance only", it appears that you can never get the second instance. I think: OK, fine, I can just restart my first instance from the StartupNextInstance event. But how do I use the new command line arguments from the second instance? The Restart() method does not take CL args that I can see.

I'm using my.settings to save the load time of the solution. When my.settings.load_time value is changed and use my.settings.load_time.save() to save them. When I quit the application and manually start it again, the newly saved settings are used.When I use either application.restart. The application will use the old values for my.settings.Is there a way to restart the application using either application.restart which will use the newly saved my.settings values?
View 6 RepliesI was trying to use application.restart() to restart my application after downloading a new update. It seems to run into the problem where it is trying to start the new application before the original is closed so it errors out and never starts. After reading through some threads here I determined the better way to handle it would be
application.exit() process.start(application.executablepath) This didn't work and gave me what seems to be the same problem. I would also like to note this works fine when running the application through visual studios, it is only when I try to run this independent of VS2010 that the application never restarts.
In my code the application will restart using the Application.Restart statement from another form named frmDatabase.
The application seems to restart while debugging but yet the dataset, tables etc which is declared right below the class declaration for the startup form seems to fail initializing when the restart is done.
Compiling and running the application works like a charm and there is no error like this when running the executeable.
I also Inserted a breakpoint in the Form_Load event and the debugger seems to skip all the statements when the application is restarted all the way down to where the exception occurs.
Declarations:
Public Class frmMain
Public objConnection As New OleDbConnection(strConnectionString)
Public objDataSet As New DataSet
Public objCommand As New OleDbCommand
Public objDataAdapter As New OleDbDataAdapter(objCommand)
I'm using my.settings to save the load time of the solution. When my.settings.load_time value is changed and use my.settings.load_time.save() to save them. When I quit the application and manually start it again, the newly saved settings are used.
When I use either application.restart. The application will use the old values for my.settings.
My question is.. Is there a way to restart the application using either application.restart which will use the newly saved my.settings values?
i am just developing a library management system as one of my project. i using vb.net 2010 and the MS Access 2007 as back end. when i save some records into my database through my application it is correctly saved and i confirmed it through opening the relevant table in the database. but when i restart the application all the entered data were missing.
View 1 RepliesI have an application with a splash screen which gets shown before the application starts. One of the requirements of the application is to allow users to restart (or atleast clear the form) so that other test cases can be ran. Because there are so many forms and variables, we elected to simply call Application.Restart() to accomplish this.
What we would like to do now is disable the Splash Screen when Application.Restart() is called. That is, only show the Splash Screen when the application is initially started, not when it is restarted.
I developed a chat application with an attendant chat server. Everything is working fine. The issue now is the fact that whenever the chat server goes down (for instance, the server system shuts down as a result of power failure or some other problem), by the time the server system come back on, the chat server would have to be restarted manually.
I believe (and I know) it is more appropriate for the chat server application to restart itself when the computer comes back on (and of course regardless of who is logged in and of course, even before anyone logs in). I have a batch file that executes the chat server. My attempt was to create a windows service that start automatically and runs this batch file using a Network Service account on the server system. Although, I'm having a hard time with this (temporarily), I would love to ask if there are any alternatives to using a windows service.

View 9 RepliesBasically, 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.
View 1 RepliesI 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.
