If I use the shell command: notepadID = Shell("C:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe", AppWinStyle.MaximizedFocus)When note pad opens I want to control the fileopen box. I can use the SendKeys.SendWait("%(FO)") to get the box opened but then how can I control the initial directory and the file type filter? I would much rather open the fileopen box in code and control it that way. How can I use the code below to control the fileopen on a process that the shell command opened up? [code]
View 5 RepliesI know the "Process.Start" function, but it creates a new object of the cmd shell which terminates itself when the Python script is at its end. How can i open the original Windows Command Shell so that the Python file can run to its end without the box getting closed?

I would like to launch a command line exe I created. For now it's a test program that writes Hello World to the console. I can launch it, but the shell window it displays it in only stays for a split second.
I know I can add a line to my console mode program (readline). But I would like to control it from the process launch. I will be using console mode programs that I did not write myself, and many of them don't stall the output. I can't find the right properties and methods to control the default shell behavior!

I need to open a *.py file in the shell (DOS) box, but it returns an error that no file was found at the specified path. But this path is completely correct. Unless Visual Basic are referencing to paths in another matter than C#? 'Cause I am developing in C# and referenced to VB to do this.

View 3 RepliesI'm going to attempt to make a shell replacement for the Windows default shell: explorer.exe. I'm not sure if its possible using Vb.Net, but I can't seem why not. My end goal is to use a custom made shell for a Windows Preinstallation Environment instead of the default command prompt. I plan to use a 3rd party program to compile the program with the .NET Framework. Otherwise, it wouldn't work because Windows PE does not support the .NET Framework.

View 2 RepliesI have an update app, which can be updated itself by another update app (so, the second app is an updater of the main updater). Both apps must have administrator permissions because of writing in the Program Files folder. Is it possible that when the main updater is running (under administrator rights) it can use Shell() to let the second updater run with administrator rights without a UAC confirm dialog popping up again?

View 11 RepliesI wrote a backup utility that synchronizes a list of folders. Errors appear in a list. In the list I can right-click to retry, exclude the folder next time, or open the folder in explorer to examine.When I shell to explorer I get an AccessViolationException. Form1 opens Form4 with Form4. ShowDialog(), and that's where the error occurs. The error does not occur within Form4 where the shell function is called. memory must be getting trashed somehow.I've used two methods, Shell and System.Diagnostics.Process.Start. Each produces similar results. Shell waits awhile before causing the error, but Process.Start causes the error immediately.This is VB.Net 2010 using framework 4, though I did resolve a shell problem once before with VBA by writing out a VBScript file then shelling to the VBScript file.

This is VB.Net 2010 using framework 4, though I did resolve a shell problem once before with VBA by writing out a VBScript file then shelling to the VBScript file. I don't think the process being started is isolated enough. It's sharing memory or something else.
set the Icon for an item in a shell handler? I've set a contextmenu handler to the extension .savdata and added the text "Open with ConvertFile" to the handler so that the context menu for .savdata looks like this:

So how can I use "my.computer.registry.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" in VB 2008 express edition to add an Icon file path to the left of the context menu handler?
