Hello,
I have the following. I have made a Visal Basic 2008 application that needs to be used by serveral people.
The application is connected for access thru a Touch Screen.
The problem i have i that some users are clicking on the Start button or other things outside tha apllication window.
i can set that the application uses a bigger form but still the start button , Taskbar is still there .
I am searching for a solution that only my application can be accessed, when entering the Exit button with a Code than the windows has to operate normal for maintenance.
Is there Anybody that can give me a solution
Thanks
Best regards.
Didier

open the task manager ctrl-shift-esc, note that it covers the start button if the window mode is normal (exposes the button when maximised) so:
Set your form to normal, topmost and the size to the same as the screen size - 1mm.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Hello,
Thanks for the fast answer.
It just not 100% clear for me.
I use also Windows Vista, i dont know if i told this.
Is there nothing possible directly from VB to force a full screen withut start and taskbar ?
This would be more easy i think.
thanks again.

No. This is normally done through Group Policy. Get the Resource Kit for Windows XP and/or Vista and you'll find everything you need to setup in policies to support a "kiosk mode".

I can't see anything wrong with this bit of code. Try calling Thread.Sleep in one or both of the Threads and see what happens. This makes the Thread give way to other operations for a certain amount of time before continuing. Also, remember that unless you have multiple CPUs, a computer only ever appears to be doing multiple things at once, but instead only does one thing at a time, rapidly switching between tasks to give the illusion of multitasking. It might just be that Windows' task scheduling ends up with them being executed on at a time. You could also try lowering the Priority of both the Threads. Do they really need to have Highest priority?

The code looks fine, how are you sure they are not starting at the same time?

Look into remoting, web services and late binding. Then decide which is the best solution for you.

hi koolprasad2003
How can you do such a thing. you cannot run an Exe on the Internet.If you want to Keep your Exe(FrontEnd),i suppose. Create Webservice and Consume it from your Win App. Remoting will be imposible for you, judging from the way you just Ask your Question.
see this Article, Consuming Webservices from your Win App. if the System is in your Network. just hit the DB Directory than creating WebServices.
see this

If you have written a .Net program, then your program will not run without the right .NET Framework, so I would be pointless including code into your program to check for this. You may also want to read this CodeProject article[^] on that very subject.
The following code with return a list of running MS SQL Server Instances, along with server version details etc. :-
Imports System.Data.Sql
Public Class SqlServers
Public Shared Function SQLServerList() As DataTable
Dim sqlSource As SqlDataSourceEnumerator = SqlDataSourceEnumerator.Instance
Dim dtSqlServers As New DataTable("SqlServers")
dtSqlServers = sqlSource.GetDataSources()
Return dtSqlServers
End Function
End Class

In our network we have some system out of firewall and we want to check how much network they are using for internet.
for that we want to check for only internet packets sent and recieved by the system and nothing else. Since systems are on network so we want to check how much is internet bandwidth being used by system.
How can i check for only internet bandwidth used and not internal network

I'd figure WinPcap[^] can do that. This[^] is a good place to start.
Also, check out this project[^].

Hi
I am using the following command
Sheets("SHEETS").Delete
this works however it requires the user to confirm deletion, is there another way of deleting a sheet without the user confirming
Thanks

|

Execute the Excel VBA code listed below before your delete statement in order to prevent the confirmation message box.
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
