View Logged In To Program, Listen For Program Writing To Txt File.(PartialResolution)
Ok let me see if i can describe this quickly.
I am working with the Never Winter Nights tool set. We wanted to make a small program to monitor who logs on and off the server so we can display it on the web page.
NeverWinter Nights (NWN) when running the server version writes a complete logg to a txt file. What i am getting at is what is the Best/most effecient/ or easiest way to get this information.
Obviously the program writes to the text file every time something happens, we can see that happening. Is there a way to listen on the program for when it writes, then analyze the string and get the information that way.
I know I can write a quick program to read through the text file and analyze the log ins and offs and determine who is logged in that way. But there has to be a more efficient and much easier way of doing it.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for all the help and ideas.

Call Another Program And Obtain Status Code After Program Is Closed
Hi,
I have program A (visual basic exe with user interaction) and program B( visual basic exe with user interaction). At the present they are two independent programs.
Say for example program A performs 5 steps sequentially.
I would like program A to call prgram B after step 3 of 5.
After program B completes its own processing it should close and pass a status code (success or failure) to program A.
Based on the status code program A either continues with Step 4 and 5 or undoes step 1 to 3 and then closes.
(I hope I have not confused anyone with my general explanation).
My questions how would I go about doing this?
How can I call program B from program A and then accepts a status code from program B once it completes?
Thank you

After Vb6 Install On Vista, Running The Vb6 App Starts A Setup Program For Another Program
This is a odd deal, i kinda remember it happening on a win2000 computer, and i've search on here to no avail.
What is happening is after I install my vb6 application on Vista business OS that was packaged on a windows 2000 professional OS it installs fine
but when I dbl click to start the application it fires off a setup program for autocad 2008 ( which was just installed on the vista OS)..... If i hit cancel
on the setup of this the vb6 application starts up and runs...
I'm thinking that it's somehow related to the setup program and how it stores it's temp files in some directory and somehow the OS is associating
the vb6 app.exe with the setup folder and the setup folder is used by "most" applications when they are installed... its quite confusing to me..
This ring a bell for anyone? I'm thinking of going to the package deployment and see what folders are used and see if i can change the dir names.. etc..
Thanks for any help here.!

Get A Handle To A Windows File Editor When Starting Program From Within Another Program
Hi,
I am trying to make a program that starts another program, and using sendkeyes to control what the new program is going to do and then close it. Basically the new program is going to open a db and store some data in a notepad file from the db.
I know how to start another program from within a program using shell, but
1) I do not want the new program to fill the screen like it does now. I know hat you can start the program and minimize it so the program icon shows at the bottom of the screen on the same line as the start button. But I would prefer the new program to not show. Can anyone help me with this ?
2) At one point in the process when using sendkeyes, the new program automatically opens/fetches a Windows list (where you can specify the name of the file and where it is going to be stored on your computer).
I need to find a way to get a grip on that windows list from my own program, so I can send a standard file name to it.
How can I do that?

Get Path Of Program When Program Is On Another System (Linux Server)
This is a little hard to explain but I will try my best to make sense.
I am a network/computer technician. I am very knowledgeable in VB 6. I have a program that I have written in VB 6. The purpose of this program is to make my life easier when I have to reformat a hard drive and reinstall windows. Instead of navigating in and out of folders on my external hard drive, I can just click the radio button for each program I want to install and click a command button. It really does make things easier and faster.
When I have my external USB hard drive connected directly to the computer this program works fine. I am using the following command to get the local drive letter of the USB drive: Split(App.Path, "")(0).
However the above command does not work for a network path. I have a Linux Server that will contain all the same programs that the external hard drive does, and in all the same folder paths and program names. I just sync them both about once a week or so.
My questions are following:
1). How can I determine if the program is running locally or from a network?
1). How can I determine the network path.
I will not be nor do I want to map a drive to the network path as once the computer has all the required software install and all the required setting changes made, the network path will not be needed again.
Sorry this is so long and I hope I have made sense, and this is easy to understand what I want.
[Solved]How Can I Uninstall Program Automatically When The Program Shutdown?
Hi all,
I have one more question, since my question about closing program automatically (schedule also) after running a period of time. I want to know how can i call uninstall.exe within the program dir to unstall itself when reached the end date? I mean after close the program when it reached the due date (period of time), I want to run uninstall.exe immediately to uninstall the program?
=============
Hi all again
I have solved it for myself, just using Call Shell() function before End the application.

Close Program After Excel Program Executes
I am having a problem unloading my program after I complete an automation to excel process. Basically I pump a bunch of data to an excel workbook, save it as a file name, shut down excel. Now I want to close the exe, but it is not unloading. What am I missing (maybe I need to set focus back to the exe, how can I do that if that is the case?)
Thanks!

Save Program Information After Program Shutdown
Hi all!
I've done a small program which uses some values for working.
Up till now i saved these values in a file. The program also has to write into the file when something has changed.
Everything worked perfectly until i put it on a server on which a normal user doesn't have the right to write files
Does anyone know a (simple) solution, where I can store these information except files?

Get My Program In Top And In Focus When The User Starts The Program.
Hello. I have a problem I have not found any good solution to:
How do I get my program to be on top and in focus whenever it starts, no mater any other circumstances.
The program I'm designing is connected to a remote control. Hence it must be able to control the entire computer as the user like.
I've tried searching, but found no satisfactory solution.

Program Error Opening Office Program From VB
I have a small progam that asks for a user name querries a databse and returns a set of options based upon who they are. One option will open an excel workbook, the others open up Access reports. The querries using ADO work flawlessly. However the Excel and Access calls yield a Program error on some computers. While some others remain
un-effected. I discovered that if visual studio is loaded it will solve the porblem, but that is not an options for the mjority of my user base. Has anyone seen anything like this? Am I in DLL hell?

Adding Code To My Program Through The Completed Program.
Hello,
I have a program that calculates some numbers.
Here is how it works.
1 the user inputs 2 numbers. A High and a Low into two text boxes.
Then the user presses Calculate and it does a series of mathamatics.
Once that is complete it out puts 5 different numbers to a table sort of deal.
NOW what I want to do is let the user enter a 6th number to calculate and output onto that table.
So lets say this is my code for the calculation.
VB Code:
Private Sub cmdCalculate_Click()Text1.Text = (txtHigh.Text - txtLow.Text) * 0.738 + (txtLow.Text)Text2.Text = (txtHigh.Text - txtLow.Text) * 0.093 + (txtLow.Text)Text3.Text = (txtHigh.Text - txtLow.Text) * 0.865 + (txtLow.Text)Text4.Text = (txtHigh.Text - txtLow.Text) * 0.953 + (txtLow.Text)Text5.Text = (txtHigh.Text - txtLow.Text) * 0.876 + (txtLow.Text)End Sub
Now I have a textbox on my form to enter a new number to calculate. So lets say the user wants that number to be "0.459" He would enter 0.459 into the textbox "txtNewnum" and click the cmdAdd button.
Then the program would have to add a new line of code to the 5 lines mentioned above and it would look like this.
VB Code:
Text6.Text = (txtHigh.Text - txtLow.Text) * [b]0.459[/b] + (txtLow.Text)
Does anyone know how I could pull this off?
Thank you and have a great day!

Program Whites Out And Locks Up When I Change To Another Program
Ok, here's my problem: I'll start a download on my FTP app, then change programs, and all of a sudden, when I change back, the form whites itself out so I can't see what's going on and/or locks up. Is there a way to fix this, or is this just a bug in Visual Basic? I'll port the whole freakin thing to Delphi if I have to.

Passing Text From My Program To Another Program
Hello All,
Fist I figure my question would cover a broad spectrum reguarding what i want to do in the long run.
What I am developing ans a program that a user would type into and use MS word to do the spelling and grammar check (this part is not the problem) but what I am running into as an issue is figuring out a way to pass the text from my programs textbox to a textbox of another program (it is a chat program that does not support grammar and spell check) the thing is when i go to pass my text from my program to the textbox of the other program i do not know the name of the textbox. what i ould like to know is if there was a a way i could find this out or is there a way to pass the information without needed to know the textbox name?
Thanks

A Program Icon For A Program Which Has No Form
I have a program with no form, only a module. I want to assign an icon to the project. The usual way is to go into Project Properties/Make and set the icon there. But the icon drop-down box there is only filled (I think) with icons that have been specified in the forms' properties. So if there are no forms there are no available icons.
Is there a way to set the icon in a program which has no module? I'd rather not create a dummy form whose only purpose is to provide an icon.

Launch/close Program For Another Program
I help out at a Boys & Girls Club in their computer lab. They recently got a copy of Sim City 3000 donated, but this program is having issues with their Windows XP OS. If you go here, "SimCity 3000 restarts spontaneously when exiting", you can see the problem we are encountering. I was wondering if writing a small program to launch SimCity 3000, then catch it when it exits and force it to close down programmatically is possible? If so, how difficult would it be? I assume it would require several various API calls.

I have this problem that whenever I activate the Make exe command under file menu. The computer will start compiling but before completing it the system will display an error message like this one "THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SYSTEM RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO RUN THIS PROGRAM" then the system will hang.
It started acting like this almost a week ago when my pc was infected by a virus. I have the entire hard disk formatted using fdisk and installed it everything back but this time it wont compile my programs. This is the first time I encounter such a problem. Is there anybody who could advise me on how to solve this problem?
