View 2 RepliesI understand this is possible but I am not sure where to start. I want to either buy or create an application that captures a resource from another application so that I can fire off another application. In other words, I want to start an application (which I did not write) that is database driven so the form has a number of text boxes. When someone keys something into that field I want to be able to validate the value, outside of the original application. For instance, if the program asks for a zipcode and it doesn't validate the zipcode, I'd like to trap for that and write something that would validate it. At this point I don't think I'd have to send anything back to the textbox/resource.

From here i would like to launch Internet Explorer in a hidden mode and capture an image for each of the selected URL's in the data grid view. Is this possbile? If so what is the best way to go about it?

View 2 RepliesI am running a oracle package's procedure which raises raise_application_error (). i.e Oracle sends the application error to Visual Basic 6.0 . After executing procedure, When I try to display the value of Err.description in immediate window it prints only 532 characters.. rest of the characters are truncated. Is there any limitation that Err.description would capture only 532 characters? When I run that procedure in SQLPLUS, it gives entire string without truncation.
Please guide me to display entire string in VB using Err.description when error description posts to VB by Oracle PL/SQL raise_application_error.
I'm working on a project, and one thing it's supposed to do is make itself (the form) invisible, take a screenshot of the current screen, and the make itself visible again.[code]I made the 'FinishScreenshot function to call the 'TakeScreenShot' function, courtesy of AdamSpeight2008 and save that result as a specified image file in a specified location. the problem is, the screenshot ends up usually showing the form that was supposed to be invisible, but sometimes not (usually on the first form). I'm guessing this is because the FinishScreenshot and Take ScreenShot functions aren't finished working until after the form becomes visible again, but I'm not sure.

View 15 RepliesI am currently trying to write an application that uses more than one thuread, but I have little experience of this and the more I read about it, the more confusing it is.I currently have one main prog (StartupForm) that has 3 items defined as tool Strip items io the menu. Upon selecting each item, it runs the relevant Click subroutine.
What I am trying to do is within each subroutine, getting it to launch a additional form (option1Form, Option2Form & Option3Form all running under running under ew threads and independent from the original programme. Hence when the original programme is busy, the sub forms are running their own code quite happily. The only interaction I require is that the Main Programme (startupForm) Updates an array. Which the the new thread / form can read. Can this be doe some how Byref

I was using xml files in the program filestill now and I need to get around using this because the files can be delete or over written incorrectly. I started using the settings option and realized application level is read only and i cannot use user scope because then it wont be global settings. Is there an alternative to this.
View 5 RepliesI understand that I cannot use the System.Console to output information from a Windows Forms application because the standard input, output, and error streams are not run through the console in winforms apps. But I can't seem to find any documentation on where the standard input, output, and error streams are being directed to! Basically, I have a winforms app that accepts command line arguments and can be run in batch mode, however, I just want to direct some feedback to the user based on whatever method they're accessing the program. The app is used to redirect a client-server application from one server to another. In some instances, the user does it by hand (with a mouse), and other times they're doing it in batch mode (using SAS, command shell, VBScript, etc...). In those instances, I'd prefer NOT to use MessageBoxes because it will kill any processing they're doing.

Do you have any suggestions on what to use for this project?
View 1 Replieshow to re-write my application (http:[url]....) to be multi-threaded using the background worker. The use case is something like:
1. User opens a binary file, it can be several Gbytes in size so reading it into memory isn't practical.
2. User can then navigate through the file in 188byte chunks, data is read from disk, decoded, and displayed for each chunk in turn.
3. User may want to search for some data or build a report. This will involve repeating the read, decode, display, function multiple times. During this looping the GUI stops responding and there is no option to cancel so I want to make it multi-threaded. So, is it safe to open the file in the GUI thread and then read from the file in the background thread? I currently use something like this to open the file once:

fs = fi.OpenRead()

I have a form in VS2010, written in VB, and it has a subroutine calling for information out on the web using an httpwebrequest object. It takes a while for the response, and I would like the subroutine to write a message to the form (into a Label) for the user to see while waiting for the application to respond.
I tried writing the message with a Backgroundworker and then as a second thread. I got it to write the message, but it always seems to wait for the http response before writing the text. How do I write the text immediately, while waiting for the data?
