Windows Task Scheduler - Add A Task
Does any body have any idea how to add a task to the windows task scheduler (if its not there already) through a vb program ?
So that a program can be run through the task scheduler...
(By the way, I know how to do it manually, I just want to put a task to the scheduler through a vb program)
Thanks

Task Scheduler.
Hello.
I found in the following location:
http://www.etasoft.com/schtask/vbcode.htm
an article that talks about creating new scheduled tasks.
It is mentioned there that i should reference a dll called "SchedTask 1.0 Type Library" but i can find it. Where should i look it in? Or how else can i interact with windows task scheduler?
Thanks, Tal.
IE 5.0 TASK SCHEDULER
Has anyone come across VB code to add jobs to "Task Scheduler" through the api. I've only seen C++ code. I know I can use AT commands but they do not support the full set of features in TASK SCHEDULER.
Thanks.
Task Scheduler
Hello everybody.
Can anyone tell me how to use windows task scheduler from VB.
Task Scheduler
I would like to upload files to an ftp site hourly. The app to do this should be run hourly and ended when upload is completed. The problem is creating a scheduled task to run this app. Manual configuration is not an option. Thanks for any ideas
Task Scheduler
I am running a scheduled task (Task Scheduler on win 2k) on a remote server. Is there any class library to access the properties and methods of this "Task Scheduler". I really appreciate your help
Task Scheduler
Background:
I'm in the process of developing a task scheduler at work. This application runs on a dedicated workstation. It simply displays the time, incrementing every second. Every second it is also checking an ini file to see if it should call another application or run a backup.
Example:
At 6:00 every day run BlockedReport.exe
At 17:30 every day backup TestDatabase.mdb
I want to make this so it takes up the least amount of system resources. The algorithm I'm thinking of using is this:
First off check to see if seconds = 00. This will ensure that the function is only ran once a minute instead of 60 times a minute.
If it is = 00, then check to see if the task should be run on this day.
If it should be run, then check to see if it should be run at this time.
Here is some sample code (I know that it isn't exactly what I said above yet):
VB Code:
Private Sub tmr_TimerFired() Dim x As Integer, iCount As IntegerDim results() As String lblTime.Caption = Format(Time, "h:mm:ss") Call ini.GetSections(INIFile, results()) iCount = UBound(results()) + 1 For x = 1 To iCount If Format(ini.GetSettingINI(INIFile, "Task" & x, "Time"), "h:mm:ss") = Format(Time, "h:mm:ss") Then Select Case ini.GetSettingINI(INIFile, "Task" & x, "Status") Case 1 'Status 1 = Execute File If ini.GetSettingINI(INIFile, "Task" & x, "Params", "None") = "None" Then hyp.File Me.hwnd, ini.GetSettingINI(INIFile, "Task" & x, "Path") Else hyp.File Me.hwnd, ini.GetSettingINI(INIFile, "Task" & x, "Path"), ini.GetSettingINI(INIFile, "Task" & x, "Params") End If Case 2 'Status 2 = Backup File Call Backup(x) Case 3 'Status 3 = Backup and Compact DB Call Backup(x) Call CompactDatabase(x) End Select End If Next x If Format(Time, "n") Mod 15 = 0 Then If y = 0 Then Call WriteMem y = 1 Else y = 0 End If End Sub
Does anyone have any suggestions, comments, critisims, ideas on how I could do this better?? If you need any more information, just ask. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
VB With Task Scheduler
I have been told that Mathew Gates or Megatron PM are good in that:
how can i use task scheduler with VB?
i want the user inside my application to have the choice to run the program himself each day, or to CHECK AN OPTION INSIDE THE PROGRAM (but how to program it???) that lets the scheduler run the program the next day for example, without any intervention
thanks

Task Scheduler Win98
For video capture and sound recording I have written a VB6 program. This program consists actually two programs, 1- TimerSetCap, 2 – TimerCaption. In the TimerSetCap I can select Video or Sound recording/capture and I give the duration of the recording. These values are stored in a data file. From the TimerSetCap prog I start the Win98 Task Scheduler and make the settings for the starting time. At this moment I can switch my computer in Standby modus.
At the given time the Task Scheduler starts the computer and the second program, the TimerCaption which reads the data from the data file and the caption starts for the given time. So far OK.
I like to combine the Task Scheduler in my TimerSetCap program, so I can set all values in one Form.
Questions:
A – Is there a possibility to reach the data of the Task Scheduler and change them. Windows Explorer do not find the *.job (TimerCaption.job) file.
B – Is there an API available which can change Text in a TextBox (Class Name: SysDateTimePick32) of a program which is called with the VB Shell function.
Opening Task Scheduler
Is there a way of opening the windows task scheduler properties window (passing in a current task) ???

Mail And Task Scheduler
I have a program that is launched by Scheduler on an NT4 server (with Outlook 2000). Outlook only uses one profile and scheduler is set to logon with the UserId that owns that exchange account. The problem is that whenever the program is launched via the scheduler it gives the following error:
"MAPI Failure: valid session ID does not exist"
However, if I run the program while physically logged onto the box it works great.
The logon code that I am using is:
Private Function LogOn() As Boolean
Dim Result As String
Dim HFile As Long
If MapSess.NewSession Then
LogOn = False
Exit Function
End If
On Error GoTo errLogInFail
With MapSess
' Set DownLoadMail to False to prevent immediate download.
.DownLoadMail = False
.UserName = "MS Exchange Settings"
.LogonUI = True ' Use the underlying email system's logon UI.
.SignOn ' Signon method.
' If successful, return True
LogOn = True
' Set NewSession to True and set0
' variable flag to true
.NewSession = True
bNewSession = .NewSession
MapMess.SessionID = .SessionID ' You must set this before continuing.
End With
Exit Function
errLogInFail:
HFile = FreeFile
Open "C:error.log" For Append Access Write Shared As HFile
Write #HFile, Error
Close HFile
Err = 0
Resume Next
End Function
If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. I need to get this thing working and am getting frustrated!
Thanks!

How To Add Prog. In Task Scheduler?????

Exposing Task Scheduler API
Hi Folks,
I'm already declaring NetScheduleJobAdd Lib "netapi32.dll" on my application so I can schedule an ActiveX.exe component for later execution. However, I'm finding that the Task Scheduler cannot run the task because the username and password is missing from the job (Win2000 and VB6). I don't see a way to set uname and passwd from the netapi32 library. Is there some other library with the the function I need that can be referenced by VB6? Or I am I going to have to do something with Sleep or Timer?
Thanks,
Troy

Hi everyone,
I am using a VC dll to invoke windows task scheduler. the dll works fine. But when using it on NT/2K OS, we need to set username and passwords for the task to work in the desired manner, for this i used Itask:setaccountinformation method for class itask. Now the dll seems to run fine but i am unable to set username and password still.
Please guide me in this regard

Internet Transfer Control HELP!!
I am trying to use Inet in order to retrieve the HTML of some websites, however, for some sites it does not retrieve the full HTML. For example, if you use the OpenUrl method with Yahoo.com, it will not return you the full HTML, but merely a brief part of it that only includes the first graphic.
Here is what I have been doing, and then the html that follows is the partial results that it gives me. Does anyone know why I am only getting a small portion of the HTML, and what I can do to get all of it??? Thanks!

Internet Transfer Control
Hi,
I am making af simple program which reads a file. The first line looks like: ftp://user***@host.com/test.txt
The second line looks like: C: est.txt
The third like looks like the first, the fourth line like the second and so on...
When i use the Microsoft Internet Transfer Control to get the file from the first line and save it on the harddisk with the name of the second line i get a timeout.
Is it not possible to use an url like the first line?
Internet Transfer Control
I'm using the Internet Transfer Control to download a small web page using the following code:
Private Sub Start_Click()
Dim Pwurl As String
Pwurl = "http://www.thepage.com/abcd.html"
Text1 = Inet1.OpenURL(Pwurl, icString)
End Sub
Private Sub CloseForm_Click()
Inet1.Cancel
Unload Me
End Sub
Program compiles and runs correctly but....
After execution of the compiled EXE, I cannot delete it for about 2 minutes because the system says the file is in use!
Checking Task Manager I see status "Not Responding". After 2 minutes or so, the not responding status drops and the task is removed fromTask Manager window.
How do I exit and deactivate whatever is holding this task active??
Any help is appreciated.

Using Internet Transfer Control
I'm wanting to use the Internet Transfer Control to read the results of a POST command (ie. I want to post the results of a form to a URL and then read the results of the post - see below)
Code:
Inet1.Execute "http://localhost/test/process.asp", "POST", "session_id=" & sSID & "&command=getparam&version=2.0&aicc_data="
I have specified the data to be posted in the [InputData] parameter of the Execute method, but the page receiving the post (process.asp) does not recognise the data as being posted from a form (code below)
Code:
Response.Write Request.Form("session_id") & "<br>"
Response.Write Request.Form("command") & "<br>"
Response.Write Request.Form("version") & "<br>"
Response.Write Request.Form("aicc_data") & "<br>"
I MUST use the Request.Form and not Request.QueryString to read the input.
Any ideas on how I pass these form field values using the Internet Transfer Control?
Thanks

Hi. I'm trying to make a program that can log into a ftp-server and get a file. But when it runs it makes this error after my execute CD: Still executing last request.

.Password = "my password"
.Execute , "CD www"
.Execute , "GET index.html C:dokumenterftptest.txt"

I would appreciate if someone can help me.
Internet Transfer Control
I'm working on a program that reads through the HTML code of a web page and downloads a certain file type(s) from that page to the user's computer.
The program works fine and is bug-free. The problem is that it's not as fast as it could be.
Originally, I used the "OpenURL" method of the internet transfer control to get the files synchronously (one by one), but I quickly realized that this would be a problem when someone wanted to download, let's say, 20 audio files from a page.
So I ditched that idea and thought I'd put multiple internet transfer controls on the form and use the "Execute" method instead (as it is asynchronous and allows the program to continue after a file is requested).
The program now has the capability of downloading multiple files at one time, but my intuition tells me that the way I went about doing this is not the best, and there is a much quicker and easier way. (If you need to know what I did, specifically, let me know.)
How can I code my program so that it will download multiple files quickly and efficiently?
Internet Transfer Control
Is there a way I can specify what HTTP version to send the message in? Also, is there a way to only send the headers that I *want* to send? Lastly, is there a way I can see the request that the Inet *sent*?
This is what I have in my code:
Code:
inet.Execute "https://domain.com/", "GET / HTTP/1.1", , "Host: "domain.com" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
I don't even know if what I have is correct, but I've been experimenting for hours and the page that I'm sending the request to keeps spitting out errors. I think the problem is that the Inet is sending extra headers that the server doesn't want (it's picky), or the protocol is being set to HTTP/1.0, when it must be HTTP/1.1.
Thanks in advance,
Jared

Internet Transfer Control
This is a really cheeky question, I only have vb 2005 express edition because it is free from microsoft, an am at the moment, and for the next three months cannot get to a normal version, therefore can not use the inet control. I was wondering if someone could write a basic program that allows you to type a web address in, say www.google.com and searches the text of the page for the $ sign, then lists all the phrases with it in (phrase like from the space before to the next space - "a $1000 dollars is a lot" would become "$1000")
Its not that tricky i dont think, but i would really appreciate it if someone could help
Thanks
