View 1 RepliesI have a simple GUI form to hide / show / minimize / terminate / force terminate Processes. i can do all well but for show and hide i need the MainWindowHandle to show or hide it
So here is hide process code:
Dim Proc As New Process = Process.GetProcessesById(List.SelectedRows(0).Cells(1))
Dim hwnd = Proc.MainWindowHandle
ShowWindow(hwnd,0)
If i try the same with show code:
Dim Proc As New Process = Process.GetProcessesById(List.SelectedRows(0).Cells(1))
Dim hwnd = Proc.MainWindowHandle
ShowWindow(hwnd,9)
The MainWindowHandle become 0 cuz its hidden is there is any other way to get the MainWindowHandle of Process ?
I have a DLL that copies an Access database, opens it, reads it, and then closes it. The second time through it is unable to copy the Access DB because the EXE has an open handle to it. The EXE does not reference the Access DB at all, it just has the open handle because it calls my DLL. After I close the DB, I would like to terminate the EXE's handle to the Acess DB. BTS - I wrote the DLL and it is my Access DB. Another company wrote the EXE and I can not make any changes to it.

View 4 RepliesI have a website, that needs to not allow simultaneous logins. I am controlling that by cache. But, now I am unable to give them the option to log out the other session. Goal: is to allow them to login, and when they do, tell them that the current user is already logged in, and give them an option to close that session, so they can continue logging into the system (website).Have not found any way to terminate a specific SessionID. oh BTW, I do have the sessionID of the parallel session, just dont know how to kill that one. Again note, I do not want to close this current session, but another session whose SessionID I have.
View 2 RepliesI'm having troubles with terminating an application. When I close the main form everything disappears but the process remains active. I think I know the cause, a certain activeX component will not release properly. As soon as I create one, I can't close normally...
dim someActiveXcomponent = new X()
...
<formClosing>
someActiveXcomponent = nothing
GC.Collect()
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers ' here it hangs
Probably a bug in that component, but the problem is that I don't have much of a choice, I'll have to use that component for now.
Calling
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComO bject( myObject )
will kill the reference and now the application closes properly.
I am working on a Windows Service project that is supposed to start automatically with Windows and it has a timer to check if a certain process is created (in this case "iexplorer") the service should terminate that process. In addition, the user should not be able to stop the windows service.
I was able to create the process and make start with Windows. I changed the property (CanStop) to False but that did not help because after a few tries the servise stops. I used a For-Next loop in the timer to check for the process to terminate but unfortunatly, it didn't work. The code I used is:
Dim theProcesses() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("Iexplore")
For Each currentProcess As Process In theProcesses

Excel process will not terminate...
Code:

I got exactly the same situation as the following link. I need to end the excel process after calling it in Visual Basic. But it did not and I have to use task manager to kill EXCEL process manually.

my app currently has a process thats ongoing (even when I navigate back to the main screen of my app). Is there any code I can use to terminate all the processes on that page before it navigates back to the main screen. In other words the page should reset to its original form?
View 1 RepliesI have this on the form load;
Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Visible = False
Me.ShowInTaskbar = False[code].....
Notice: I used "End", to terminate the process.What I want to do is when the last function is called (Delete_AutoReq_PracNo) it terminates the execution of the application.
Reason...I'll schedule this application to ran from MS SQL Server at night. So realistically, doing all the processes I would like it to stop...Is what am doing sufficient to stop the application from running or there is a more robust approach..
I'm using the namespace System.Diagnostics. I need to check if there is a Windows process called "gospeakx.exe". If exist the "gospeakx.exe" process, end it. Does anyone know how I can do this?
View 1 RepliesI'm having a problem with closing Acrobat. I'm using vb.net to sign a PDF file in running Acrobat. After I'm done I close Acrobat and try to delete the currently signed PDF file, but I get an error message telling me that file is being used by another process. I tried closing and setting to Nothing AcroApp, AcroAVDoc, AcroPDDoc JSO, but still that doesn't work. I tried releasing them with Marshal.ReleaseComObject(...) still no effect.[code]

View 2 RepliesI have a background application with a couple of System.Timers.Timer running in it. I also have a NotifyIcon that when double clicked brings up a windows form.
My problem is that sometimes my form gets displayed but then for whatever reason it seems like it's losing focus and becomes un-usable (it just sits there in the background).
So here comes the question now... Can the freeze be caused by the form loading (i.e. me double clicking my NotifyIcon) and the timer tick happening the same time?

View 3 RepliesDo timers not work in services? I have a service that is running fine, has been for a while. I'm trying to add some work that needs to kick off regularly, so I create a timer that fires every 5-seconds and kick it off when needed. The Tick event never fires. Never, not once. I'm not sure why it doesn't work. Here's the relevant code I'm using. I have 4 backgroundworker threads named, simply enough, bgw1 - bgw4. I wil show you the code for one of the threads so you can see what I'm doing.

if there was a bad virus on my computer and I wanted to make sure that every time that the Application tried to run, I would Kill That Process? Something that Might Look like this, but Idk..
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Timer1.Interval = 1000

Something that looks like that, yesterday I got the code on how to Kill a process by name, today I would like to learn how to ask the computer if that process is running, and if it is, Kill It.
How can I get the CPU usage for an individual, specific process? I know how to get the total CPU usage, but not for 1 process. What I ultimately want to do is list all the processes whos cpu usage is greater than zero.
View 1 RepliesI am working with a simple game idea. I wanted to have two players running around shooting each other (very low graphics, like circles and squares). I've got this far; I have the ability to move around both characters, and change directions etc. ive also been able to set up my shooting. Only problem I run into is getting the bullet to move! I cant use a preset timer, because if I used that, I could only shoot one bullet at a time, so I would need to create new ones dynamically.
So my question is; how does one add dynamic timers to a form on runtime, and alter the tick sub so that it moves the picturebox (bullet) and once it can be moved, (I was thinking about using player locations in relation to the bullet, and if they were equal than the health would go down or whatever, but unfortunately, this means it would have to be directly in the middle of the player, which would be odd..

View 1 RepliesI have some code designed to locate a specific process based off of its window text, gather the main handle, and then all of the child windows. However, I have run into one problem. I cannot seem to gather all the handles and their respective text. For example, when I test my program and do a handle count on the specific process, it tells me that there are more than 400 handles for this one process. How do I get the handle pointers for this process and also gather the text associated with these handles.I have included my source code for reference.
Code:Public Class Form1
Const GW_CHILD As Integer = 5 Const GW_HWNDNEXT As Integer = 2 Const WM_GETTEXT As Integer = &HD Const WM_GETTEXTLENGTH As Integer = &HE Const BM_SETSTATE As Integer = &HF3 Const WM_LBUTTONUP As Integer = &H202 Const WM_LBUTTONDOWN As Integer = &H201
