Close All Open VB Windows.
Is there a way to close all the open code and form windows in VB?
It's just that when I stop the program I have to wait for all the open windows to refresh before I can do anything.
It's getting worse as my program gets bigger.

Close Windows Open Files Thru VB
I want to write a VB 6 app to close files opened by another application. These files are text files and csv's that sporadically get left open after the program finishes. I have another application that manipulates these files but on occasion cannot because I get a File Already Open error.
I have to go onto the file server itself, open computer management, Shared Folders, Open Files then find the open file(s) and manually close it/them.
I was hoping that someone knew of an API or other method of doing this through VB.
Find All Open Windows To Close
I'm trying to make a simple shutdown program, but it takes my slow computer to shutdown 5-10 big programs, so to save time I want the program to shutdown all open windows for me. I'v got a code to close the window, but how would I get a list of open windows and maybe put them in an array.
Shutdown code:
In module
VB Code:
Option Explicit Public Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" _ (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As LongPrivate Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "user32.dll" Alias "GetWindowTextA" _ (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String, ByVal nMaxCount As Long) As LongPrivate Declare Function EnumWindows Lib "user32.dll" _ (ByVal lpEnumFunc As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long 'close appsPrivate Const WM_CLOSE = &H10Private Const WM_QUIT = &H12Private Target As String ' Check a returned task to see if we should kill it.Private Function EnumCallback(ByVal app_hWnd As Long, ByVal param As Long) As LongDim buf As String * 256Dim title As StringDim length As Long ' Get the window's title. length = GetWindowText(app_hWnd, buf, Len(buf)) title = Left$(buf, length) ' See if this is the target window. If InStr(title, Target) <> 0 Then ' Kill the window. SendMessage app_hWnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0 End If ' Continue searching. EnumCallback = 1End Function' Ask Windows for the list of tasks.Public Sub TerminateTask(app_name As String) Target = app_name EnumWindows AddressOf EnumCallback, 0End Sub
Close code
VB Code:
TerminateTask "Microsoft Visual Basic"
Any help appreciated!

Also does anyone know where it would be in the MSDN.

*Resolved* Windows XP Holding Access Database Open.. How To Close?
I have a form where you calculate figures then update them to a access database (Im using VB5) and whne you exit the form and reopen it its gives me this error message...
"Control Array Element "15" doesnt exist..." now when I run through the code it stops on the first line of the update section...
Code:
pvttext1 = Val(Text1(a).Text) <----- error here
pvttext2 = Val(Text2(a).Text)
For a = 0 To 14
If Trim$(Text1(a).Text) = "" Then Text1(a).Text = 0
If Not IsNumeric(Text1(a).Text) Then
MsgBox "Must be numeric"
Text1(a).SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
I get the feeling windows XP holds it open so this function gets to the 15th cycle of it and errors..
How to I get XP to close the DB after I exit this screen?? its is a simple case of db=close ????

Should I Have 100s Of Winsock Connections Open/close.. Or Keep Them Open (hard Q)?
Hello
Ive got a server to which many clients connect to.
They each are given a few tasks to complete - which may or may not take a long time to finish, and after each task is done they send back the result.
This has caused massive amounts of problems for me. Right now I keep the connections open all the time. My server listens on one particular winsock control on a particular port to which all clients connect. It then accepts the connection request thru a second array of winsocks, so each client is connected to the server via the array via one connection.
There is generally no problem sending out the tasks thru that single connection/client - but receiving is a problem. The client may need to send back a few hundred kb at a time but since it was completing several tasks at once - it is not always received correctly. My guess is because taskA is sending data thru the connection at the same time as taskB - and the data isnt received right (each task sends its data via a <start> and an <end> string so I know where the start/end of data is and when transmission is over). Its important to note that the tasks are multithreaded (via a 3rd party control)
The data is sent in one line per task. winsock.SendData theResult. But many tasks can complete at around the same time. I thought that VB would wait until the data was completely sent (for one lines code) before moving on... but I dont think this is happening. I even tried adding a DoEvents but to no avail - I still cant receive the data properly. Maybe winsock is 'skipping over' some data - I dont know. (Kinda like when if you 'break' the application winsock does not get incoming data and when you resume it still wont pick it up)
So Ive got 2 options..
1) Somehow figure out how to receive data properly when multiple tasks finish on a client at around the same time and they send data at the same time - basically making the program send the data of a task and not continue until the data has been sent, then send another tasks data.
2) Use many connections. Basically the max # of tasks running at once will be about 10. So the idea is to have another winsock array of 10, each dedicated to one task, and when a task is completed - connect thru the winsock array, send the data, and when the server receives it - it disconnects.
3) A mixture of 1 and 2 - have the 10 winsocks connect to the server and be open at the same time, then I can just send data and receive via a specific winsock array control and there is no problem distinguishing taskA from taskB from taskC on a client, or client from client.
But honestly.. I dont know if its 'bad' to have lots of connections open and close all the time. And I dont know if its 'bad' to have thousands of connections open at the same time either..
What do you guys think?
Open A File, Close It, Open Next.
I've got my searching code going now, but I'm looking for a way to tell the program to load each file in a directory, one at a time, search, close it, move on to the next. And I have no clue how to do that. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Custom Database Viewer Will Open In Windows XP But Not Windows 2000 Operating System
Hello,
I have a VB 6.0 program that was created in Windows XP that allows people to view microsoft access data in a custom form using ADO technology. In order for this to work I have code that will check the users system folder to see if MSBIND.dll is in there. IF it isn't then it will install it as it is needed to view the data. The program works fine in Windows XP but now I have tested it out in Windows 200 and I get databinding errors.
I use the system function "GetWindowsDirectory" and when I check to see where msbind.dll is being stored it says C:WINNTSystem32MSBind.dll
I guess my question is, is this where I should be putting my msbind.dll? If so and the dll is not my problem, does anyone know of any problems that could be encountered by a Windows 2000 machine but not a Windows XP machine?
Thank you
Showing Open Windows Under Windows Menu How Does It Work?
Here is my problem. So far I managed to windows shown in the windows menu on a mdiform myse. It works perfectly but now…..
I started a new application using the application wizard and I notice that without any code (that I can find) they achieve the same. How does it work? Where is the link made and can I, using this technique, avoid some windows to be shown while others are?
I am puzzled completely as I spend about a day of coding to achieve this….. anyone have a clue?

If Open Then How To Close
In my code I'm creating a log file of some of the events I'm trying to track. Every now and then when the program checks to see if the log file exists it flags that its open then immediately exist the sub. Meanwhile it missed an entry. The error I receive tells me that the log file is open when checking for the existance.
What am I missing:
Code:
'declaration
Public strChecker As String
'create migration logs
Public Sub LogName()
Dim strLog As String
Dim Location As String
Location = App.Path & ""
strLog = Location & strLogName & ".log"
strChecker = strLog
FileExists
If intTest <> 0 Then
Open strLog For Append As #1
Else
Open strLog For Output As #1
End If
'the information for the log goes below
end sub
''if intTest=0, then there is no file to replace. Anything else means it exists.
Public Sub FileExists()
intTest = Not (Dir(strChecker) = "")
strChecker = ""
End Sub
If the log file was left open for some reason intTest returns a -1 indicating the fileexists, thats good, but when it returns to the if then above and tries to append the file it jumps out.
Is there a way to check to see if "c:crap.log" is open before appending then close it.
TIA,

? On Open / Close Files In VB
Hi,
I have a text file (see below) that I only care for "Port x/xx" at the end of each line. This is the output of a Cisco switch from issuing the "show logging buffer 1023" command and the output is being captured to a text file.
What is the best way to remove all the duplicated "Port x/xx" on each line?
Based on my limited VB experience, I can only think of opening 2 files within VB. 1) being input and the other being output. Read the text file one line at a time and using a string command to keep only "Port x/xx" and write that info into a second file. In the end, I will have the second file that contains all the "Port x/xx" with no similar entries.
I notice using open/close files in VB is time consuming imagine there are 25 of such logs I have to go through. Are there different or quicker methods to get this done?
Thanks in Advance,

Open/Close Program
I'm trying to write a program that will be able to open a file, apply values from the file in an array, close that file. If I try to open another file and apply a different number of values to the same array (even if I redimension it first), I get a 'Subscript out of range' error.
I think the best way around this error is if I can simply restart the program.
