View 2 RepliesI have a VB windows application and I need a way to control input output from this windows application to a batch file.The batch script is quite complex so converting to a VB console application is out of the question because it will too much time.An simplified example is this:I have this batch file test.bat(just for example)
@echo off
set /p choice=name : %choice%
echo Hello %choice%!
In this batch file the user input the name which is then stored in a variable and after the user press enter on the screen will appear Hello + user input.
1. Is it possible to enter the name in a textbox from the windows form and by pushing a send button pass the name to the batch application and then the batch file to continue the operation of displaying the Hello message?
2. After the batch file finishes the operations it will open another console windows (3) with status of the various operations that take place on the system(in my case connected users to a server)Is it possible to hide this child console windows that are generated after my main .bat application finished the operations of opening connections?Can this be done from the windows application or I need to modify the .bat script?
3. Is there a way to collect the console windows output in a textbox from the windows application?One idea that came to me was to redirect the console output to a textfile and then read the textfile in the VB application but I want to know if there is another way.
4. Is it possible to hide this batch file inside the windows application exe?

I am trying to send a command to the external command line (cmd.exe) from the Windows form application that I'm writing in VB.NET (using VS2008).
I can only access the external program thru the command line (its not my program) and I must do so from a form app.
I am trying to use the following code. I am able to call a cmd.exe window, but I can't pass the command line my command.
Using mp As New Process
With mp.StartInfo
.FileName = "cmd.exe"

View 4 RepliesI have written a windows application, that can take in some command line arguments and can be ran from the command line as a scheduled task. It all works fine, but i am trying to give the user some feedback on the console if they launch it from thee.I have used the info described here, and have got some output on the command line, but when the application finishes it does not drop back to the command prompt unless you hit enter it just sits there waiting.
View 2 RepliesI am working on an application and I want the user to be able to enter commands into a textbox, and when they press enter, the command is printed in a rich text box, executed, and the output is printed. For instance: the user types move{file1}, {location} into the text box and this happens:
>command: move{file1}, {location}
>$ moving file1 to location
>job completed
How would I write lines to the rtb and execute commands when the enter key is pressed?
This works, partly.
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles command.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Return) Then
RichTextBox2.Text = Environment.NewLine + command.Text
End If
End Sub
it erases everything in the textbox before adding the line... I would also like to be able to make a database of commands, maybe a .dll or something, so that when the user types in something, it checks that database to see if the command exists, if it does it executes, if not, error.
Hey Overflow, I have an application which serves as a user interface for a spartan/command line program.
I have the program running on a separate process, and my application monitors it to see if it is responding and how mush CPU it is utilising.
Now I have a list of files in my program (listbox) which are to be sent to the application, which happens fine. But I want to be able to read text from the com-line so as to determine when the first file has been processed.
Com-line says one of "selecting settings", "unsupported format" and "cannot be fixed". What I want to be able to do is when it says one of these three things, remove item(0) in listbox1.
I thought of programming an event which handles com_exe.print or something or other, if possible.
Is there a way in VB to make something that will simulate an advanced command prompt inside of a Windows Form? For example, something like a greenscreen app?
View 1 Replieslet's say i have this application running, preset size. and there are other applications, like, firefox, vb, etc. in the background where i can click on them to bring them to front and use. now, when that's done, i'd like my application to minimize by it's self instead of just becoming a application that got sent to the back of another one.. the minimize is just to get me started, since i'll probably resize it to a button or so.just a squirrel looking for my nut...

View 2 RepliesThis is what I'm trying to accomplish: I have a Point of Sale application that integrates with a credit card processesor. I wan't to remove any user interfacing logic in regards to the credit card processor in the point of sale and add it to a application that sits in the background or system tray. I want to be able to send a command to the background app to popup a form for user input.
For example: User in the Point of Sale clicks a button "Credit Card" at this point it will send a command to the background app say "ProcessCC" which will pass a transactionid and an amount , this will open a form for the user to enter in the credit card information and submit the payment to the credit card proccessor.
Reason: I need to get a padss certification and don't want to submit the point of sale to do it. Rather send the simple background app that will control any credit card processing functionality such as encryption , storing etc. I know it can be done using sockets but was hopping for an alternative solution.

Final step in my application. I finally got all the requirements working, but now I need to have the application run in the background.
The application was written in Visual Studio 2010 VB, Win form app.
The requirements are as follows:
1.) run the application at start up
2.) no icon
3.) always in focas
4.) always runs in the background.

The service is on our server which is running Windows Server 2003. I have installed the service, and it runs perfectly when I go into Computer Management and Start the service manually.

I wanted to make mysql dump files using a batch file and an app made through visual studio 2008.How can I incorporate this batch file or call it from vb?There is a code like this in vb.net but its using an absolute address:

How do I modify this so that I could just execute the file without providing the exact address. Or is there any place in the file system(windows 7) where I could just copy the exe file and just call it this way?
