I'd like to be able to run and use a programme as part of my application. I have a sound editing application and rather than have several different windows, I'd like to be able to show this editing program in a panel of my own VB application. I'd also like to be able to close it and reopen it.
View 3 Repliesim making an application in vb.net (duh!) anyway i have created and coded the whole project and it performs exactly as i want it to (i dont need code help). my problem lies with the fact that my project is 2-3 parts
1.a setup form that gathers inital data about the enviroment stores this data encrypted in a config file. after inital setup this form is not displayed again. but needs to be run on both computers
2. the second form is the real application form im in the process of turning this part in to a background service anyway this form is the one that establishes the connection between two nodes it works correctly
3. the config files
anyway here is my problem i want to make this application distributional with just one file the (.exe) and have this .exe make everything else happen. it runs the setup form and creates the first config file which it does then it needs to produce a copy of just the second form and the config file to transfer to workstation #2 that will run independtly without the whole application which i cant make happen then it needs to turn both workstations application on by only starting one on either computer and invoke the other computer to start its corrosponding app also no idea how to make this happen any ideas or suggestions as to where to look to try to find my answers.im thinking i might need to make two seperate applications (a setup app, and the running app) and include them both in a project and use the setup.exe to to package them together this is a little side project that im making for my self to use to make programming a little easier so i plan on giving it out to some fellow students to test and tell me what they think so im not really worried about ease of use or complicated procedures yet but if it turns out to work and actually be of use to anyone else i would be willing to rewrite it to distribute to the masses but for now i just want it to work for me.
We have a client who has asked us to write a GUI that is capable of connecting to an existing, running application. This specific application has quite extensive .NET and ActiveX hooks in it, but it's a third-party application and we do not have access to the source code. The client has specified VB 2008, despite the fact that the target application has perfectly good GUI creation tools itself.
I can successfully start a separate instance of the target application, but that is not what the client wants. The idea is that the user would start this application, open a specific file with it and then start the GUI which would take control.
I have searched a number of locations (including 18 pages so far of this forum) to try to find help on this sort of thing, but the success is slow coming. One code snippet enabled me to find the running process, which may help me to connect. I am also browsing CodeProject to try to wind useful information on this.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to manipulate files as part of a Document Management application that stores documents in a location on a Network Drives. But the My.Computer.FileSystem.Drives collection does not contain the Network Drives mapped on my machine. I have about half-a-dozen of these, but none of them seem to show up in the Drives collection and thus are not visible to the other FileSystem functionality I need to use for file management.
how to make sure the Drives collection contains all my drives? I am running VS2010 Premium edition on Windows 7 64-bit on a 64-bit Dell machine.
When I test run my programme (F5) it automatically saves files in a folder that is within the test project.I'd like to create a folder that is created when the programme is first installed (My Documents or in within the programme folder). How do I do this? I also want to give it a specific name instead of a name being given to it automatically. I know how to create a folder and save files in it during the test runs when I press F5 (If directory.exists etc etc etc) but that is during the runtime - how do I make a folder already available that is created during installtion.

View 5 RepliesI've just finished the coding for latest programme I'm making for a buses company, now the coding is fine. But the actual design of the forms is quiet tacky and amateur looking.The object here is to try and make my application look as professional as possible, I've noticed that on Vista, whenever you let's say transfer a file or load up something, they always have that really cool graphic right at the top of something moving, or something really cool happening.
I heard that there's a pack somewhere that you can download of vista designs for loading, file transfer etc, but I don't actually know where to find it.Does anybody here know?, or how they work?, or that just animated GIF files, or are they actually coded into the forms?

But when I publish the code, only my own computer (which has Visual Basics Express 2008 Edition installed) could use the published executable file.

View 1 RepliesRecently i created a programme , making it work only in a certain process.
e.g: my programme only works in My Documents. something like that ?
I am using VB Express 2008, on Windows XP Pro. I have written a programme which tests another programme which compares prices and terms from several vendors. This Bid Tabulation programme, compares prices and terms of up to 10 Bidders and 500 line items in mixed currencies.The testing programme, initially, would not work and I discovered that I needed to introduce a delay in order for it to run the Bid Tabulation programme. So my initial code, using the delay, was:
[code]...
And the button was clicked, and the Bid Tabulation programme started and ran successfully, as long as the number of vendors was 5 and the number of line items was 5. when I tried to increase the number of vendors to 10, the programme failed.I then discovered that at the point of failure, when the particular ParentHWND=0, if I introduced:
[code]...
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong, or whether there is another way to assure that ParentHWND will not equal zero without using a time delay?
I am using MS Windows XP, and Visual Basic Express 2008 and I am trying to write a programme that will enter a lot of information into another programme that I have written for testing purposes. The programme that I am writing to has up to 500 line items, by 10 possible suppliers; as you can imagine testing this every time is too labour intensive.[code].....
This code correctly takes me through the various forms until it reaches the Input General Information Form, which opens with the top TextBox in focus. However the entry, "Escravos Gas to Liquids", is placed in the last TextBox.How do I make it enter in the first TextBox, which is in focus? From that point on how do I cycle through the remaining 10 TexBoxes to make each entry?

View 4 RepliesI am doing a Management Science project at Uni. I have to programme a carbon emission calculator using proxy values and some input variables.
Basically, 4 inputs: seize of ship in container capacity (categorized in 9 classes), distance, Fuel type used (2 types), speed (if known).
How can I match the input variables with the proxy data values? Lets say someone inputs 2300 as container ship seize, the programme needs to know which proxy value to use from all the different seize categories (as it could have been 5300 or 7450). A certain ship seize class has a number of proxies (atributes). For example power installed, design speed, av. container capacity. (Classes are ranges, i.e. from 1000 to 2000 containers = class 1, 2001-3000 = class 2 etc.)
The same principle applies with the other input variables except for distance. Speed only should be considered if it is known, otherwise the programme has to use proxy data as well.
In short, it is a calculator which, depending on some input variables, estimates carbon emissions based on proxy data. The problem I have: How do I let the programme know, if a certain ship category/speed is selected (inputted), which proxies the programme has to use. The rest is just a matter of adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing the proxies and the input data to calculate the emissions.
I am attempting to write a programme where a user can type in a 'string' into a textbox. A data dictionary will contain specific keywords relating to a specific classification, where an algorithm can detect whether any of the keywords occur in the 'string'. Here are the processes that need to occur:
1) A data dictionary, that contains keywords relating to specific classes eg. (IT Issues, Printer, Software, Password).
2) An algorithm needs to compare the words in the Data Dictionary to that of the 'string' to detect any matches.
3) A rule set to determine what classification the 'string' needs to be classed as.
in my text file i have two part. Called bottom and top. So i need to read the Top part first then and match the line with bottom part. Its like this
