Recently, I start scripting on Windows 2008 server.And find out some of my code, which is work on Windows 2003, is no longer work on Windows 2008.Below is vbscript that will wait until a particular processID to be terminated before proceed to the next line of code.[code]Could someone please advise what WMI method I can use to detect processID termination in windows 2008?
View 2 RepliesI have been struggling to get vbscript working for last three days of relentless effort. I have windows 7 ultimate and upgraded from windows vista. searched the web for solutions and tried out all the options I think I have, but yet no luck.
I tried registering vbscript.dll and I get a succeeded message back. Everything seems to be fine. but, I just cannot run vbscript on my computer. It complains that "can't find script engine vbscript for script ....". I have a hunch that it is something to do with "microsfot security essentials (my virus protection software)" or with UAC.
I want my program to use the Appacctivate with a process ID because, the window title of the program I am going to work with is changing.
I tried several thing, but I just can't seem to be able to get the processID of any running applications. I googlet it, and there a several code's out there, but I get a Null Reference Error, with all of them.
which gets the ProcessID of a running program? I tried it with process.getprocessbyname ("myApplication") , dunno whether I was on a godd trail, or is there a far easyer way, even for activating windows without the processID.
I've been doing bits of research, and im yet to find a direct way to be able to get the processID of a window like "notepad.exe",
View 5 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 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

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?

I have a file called john.vbs. It only contains the following vbscript
'DIM objShell
'set objShell = wscript.createObject("wscript.shell")
'objShell.Run("CMD /C dir /s > dirlist.txt")

my question is how can I execute these VBScript codes inside the Windows Form (of course in a button click event). I don't want to execute them by pointing to the VBS file, I want them to be in the EXE file when I compile the form so if I hand out the form to someone else, they cannot modify the scripts.

View 3 RepliesFormA calls DialogB where user cancels DialogB which exits via ForceTermination(), see insert.Caller FormA check for DialogResult not = OK, which it isn't, and I can see this in debug as Abort(3).However, the code continues merrily along its way until I get a 'null reference' error which I'm trying to avoid via Force Termination().This is caused by the user cancelling DialogB, a selection process to get a database (SQL) instance.[code]

View 2 RepliesWhile navigating to a series of sites at one site the WebBrowser control's DocumentCompleted EVENT is tripped and no other recorded Browser events occur after that. When this happens the hour glass cursor indicates the browser is waiting. From this point it take 120 to 250 seconds of wall clock time before the browser resumes. I am looking for a way to force an abnormal termination without destroying the control. I have tried "Stop", "nav to about:blank" repeatedly without success. How can I force an abnormal termination when the Cntrl is in a wait state?
Consider the following: The last known Browser event to be tripped is a Document Complete event; nothing else occurs after this. When this transpires the Cntrl is waiting.

How do you navigate to a url in a webbrowser and wait for a specific time period like say 30 sec before inputting data into fields in a form? I know how to use WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted but I don't want to use wait for the complete website to download. There are websites that don't completely download so I don't want to hang up the program.I tried using Sleep(30000) but that halts the program, it doesn't load the browser for a specific time period.
