Trigger Program Action During Windows Shutdown?

Feb 10, 2009

I am designing a program that will show a reminder form when the computer is shutting down. (The reminder is to go outside and get the Bluetooth gps aerial.) I have tried using the formclosing event, (triggered by windows shutting down) to flash the form up on the screen using windowstate = normal. (At loading, the form windowstate = minimised). This did not halt windows shut down and the form was only on the screen for a fraction of a second before windows shut down. Can I trap windows shutdown until the form btn_Yes has been selected?

I think this msdn library article is talking about this. [URL]

I have looked at the enumprocess api, but this is quite a bit outside my current knowledge level. From what I have read, enumprocess would be suitable as we all run the same program on our laptops and I could check for the change of state of that program. Eg. �OK, program A is closing, the computer must be about to shutdown, so flash up the reminder form.�

Writing File/Folder Sync Prog, Result Text Boxes Not Updating Untill After All File Action Is Done Even Though Update Code Comes Before Copy?

Apr 12, 2011

I am working on a program using VB.Net 2010 which will enable me to setup groups of files & folders for back up with syncing capabilities etc. I have a concept program which is based on some sample code I found out in one of the VB.Net forums. I have modified it from a command line based program to a form based program. At the moment I consider this code to be a "concept" program which once I have the various copy/sync routines developed and debugged will be integrated in to another program I wrote for
creating "Back Up" groups to automate the process. There are some 3rd party programs that do similar things that I want to do such as Microsofts Sync Toy, but none of them offer the grouping and exclusions options that I am going to program in to this backup/sync program.

So here is my problem, I have the included code taking two folders, a source and a destination, and copying everything from the source to the destination. It will skip over any unchanged files/folders and will delete anything found in the destination folder that is not found in the source folder and it will update all files in the destination folder that have a newer version in the source folder. In other words it will mirror image the source to the destination but will be smart enough not to copy unchanged items from the source to the destination thereby saving a lot of time. The sync part of the program is working fine, the displaying of the progress and results is not.

Creates A Root Folder And Sub-folder In The Users C-drive?

May 11, 2010

I have a program that creates a root folder and sub-folder in the users C-drive.I unfortunatley did not think this through propaly. Senario = if a user does not have access to the C-drive and just has an account to thier 'My Documents' then they cannot use this program.How i achieve the C-drive root-folder, sub-folder, and eventually text file creation is as follows;

If
My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists("C:AMSFTAMSFT_RunnersDetails"
+ Label81.Text) Then[code]...

I do not what to change the format of this code too much as it is embedded heavily in my code, what i want to do is instead of checking and creating these folders and text files in the C-drive, i would like to change the location to a potentially unrestricted area, eg; 'my Documents'. how to alter this code to achieve this?

SelectedIndex : Gets Or Sets The Zero-based Index Of The Currently Selected Item In A ListBox?

Jun 7, 2012

First of all, I'm a somewhat-experienced VB3 Developer, and I'm trying to convert a VB3 app to VB.NET.I got the programming guide (http:url....) by searching the web.The problem I'm having is the syntax for .NET is way different than VB3, and that's OK, but finding the correct syntax is very difficult.I'm trying to eliminate duplicates in a ListBox:

When I access the Programing guide, I see that:

ListBox.SelectedIndex Property

Gets or sets the zero-based index of the currently selected item in a ListBox.I also have Murach's and Stephen's manuals, and they say the same thing.Visual Studio converted The old .ListIndex to a VB6 Function:

If VB6.GetItemString(PlayList_ListBox, I) = VB6.GetItemString(PlayList_ListBox, I + 1) Then

This is Try #1. It generates: VB6 is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.Then I read that VB6 is only for converting old code.So then I tried SelectedIndex:

Dim I As Short [code]..........

Calling Function To Update Value On Trigger Of Event

Nov 8, 2010

I think I have a timing issue. On the trigger of an event I call a function to update a value:

Private Sub t0_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles t0.Click
Input.ppProperty = "blank"
UpdateRecord("Hey", Input.ppProperty)
MsgBox(Input.ppProperty)
End Sub
[Code] .....

Notice the difference, the property does not update until the function is completely finished.
Why?

Trigger A Refresh On A Form When An Update Occurs?

Apr 23, 2009

how to trigger a refresh on a form when an update occurs in my business logic.

This isn't an issue for 95% of my forms because they call the update from the form that needs to be updated. However, In some cases an inner form does and update that requires an outer form to reflect this. I've read about Handles, Delegates, AddressOf etc etc and I'm drowning in options.

In simple terms, I need three things to happen

1. Form2 (inner form) has updated info, so the user clicks Save

2. Save calls my Data Access Layer and updates the database

3. Form1 (outer form) has a DataGrid that needs to be notified so it can update via a Sub LoadGrid

It's stage 3 I can't do. How do I trigger a Sub in Form2 (LoadGrid) to do the refresh from an external class.

Trigger Not Executing When A Batch Update Runs?

Mar 4, 2010

I am using VB.Net 2008 and ADO.Net to do a Batch Update to our Oracle database. The updates are working, but there is a trigger on the table before the row is updated to enforce a member's termination termination date. So if I was trying to set the termination date (via the batch update) to 31-Jan-2010 but the member had a claim that was processed on 2-Feb-2010 the trigger would force the termination date to be 2-Feb-2010. However, the trigger is NOT executing when the batch update runs?Is there any Oracle DB Admin option that would disable Triggers on Batch Update?

Get Folder Rights On A Network Drive?

Sep 2, 2010

I want to know what rights the user has for a given folder on a network drive. But I can't find anything that does just this.

I have used DirectoryInfo.GetAccessControl and DirectorySecurity.GetAccessRules, etc. to get a collection (AuthorizationRuleCollection) of rules. But that gives me all the access groups and their rights. I don't need that (I guess I can see if I can find code that gets which returns the security groups for the current user and then compare those to the collection, but this seems awkward.)

Or I can write code that tries to create a file, delete it, etc. which is easy to do, but not quite accurate (if the user can't create a file, how can I see if the user can delete one, if the user has create, but not delete rights, I get a bunch of temp files, etc.)

All I need to know is if the current user has read write, read only, create, and/or delete rights to a given folder (and I guess file might also be nice - I would assume similar code.)

I have to believe that its a really simple thing. But Googling it and searching on the forums here didn't turn up much (unless I want code to change the users rights - which I don't.)

VS 2008 Displays Contents Of A Certain Folder In Local Drive?

Apr 11, 2010

A form that will display the contents of a folder? I have my forms set up, I want the user to then click on a button that will load up a nw form which will contain a window that is a folder in one of my drives. There may be folders inside this main folder which the user can go into, but they can't go back frrom the original main folder and look at the other contents. First up, Is an explorer form the one I am looking for? Making one of those, it seems to be the right path but where to from there?

Another thing I need to be able to do is have the user double click on the files inside of the folder. When double clicked the folder still maintains its current state, as the files that will be clicked will do the work in the background. I have all the forms set up and linked together, I just need to know how to get this folder into a form..

So when i press any trigger the barcode reader is always enabled with rfids reader.Does exist a way to manage them with separated triggers?

Program Files Folder - No Drive Letter The Form Opens?

Sep 21, 2009

I currently have a program that I made which opens other apps packaged with an installer. I have set the installer to install everything to the Program Files folder. However, not all computers have a C: hard drive. I have a way in which they can enter their drive letter in one form then in the next form it remembers the drive and will take them to the program. The problem is my program stores the drive letter in an xml file. On the startup of the program it looks in the xml file to find the drive letter, if there is no drive letter the form opens then lets the user set his drive letter. The xml file is stored in the folder "Math Wizard" in the Program Files folder. But if not all computers have C:Program Files I need a shortcut to the program files folder. I have been trying to use %ProgramFiles% (%Program Files% + "Math Wizardconfig.xml") but vb is saying that the % is an invalid character. Here's my code:
