Hey guys,

if I start my project, I can see it in the taskmanager.

Is it possible to make it just visible in the processes (not in the applications)??? D'Oh! | :doh:

I don't know if this works in VB6, but try setting the form border to ToolWindow.

OK, another idea: What if you design and install your program as a windows service?

How do you start your program?

Meaning do you start if from an install or from your development tool?

Is this happening on more than one computer?

Normally you should see it in both the processes and applications tab without doing anything.

Keeping it out of applications tab will be more challenging tho.

both.

Yes i normally see it in both tabs, but I only want to see it in the processes tab!

(Like Office Outlook)

Is this possible?

What special edition on Outlook do you have that does not show in the Applications tab? It shows in both on my 2010 edition, and also did with all previous versions I have ever had installed.

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.

Outlook 2007

I see no application... Only the "OUTLOOK.EXE" in the 'Processes' Tab

You misunderstand, some there are two tabs in task manager, titled 'Applications' and 'Processes'.

He is saying his program appears in both the 'Applications' tab and the 'Processes' tab and he wishes to remove his entry from the 'Applications' tab.

You're right, I misread it. But when I fire up my Outlook 2007 I see it both in Applications AND processes... ?!?!?!

If you look in the Taskbar notifications area (Windows 7) you can see running apps that do not have visible windows or icons on the main part of the taskbar. These apps show up in the process list but not in the application list of Task Manager. There are a number of MS applications that do this and behave somewhat like a background task, generally doing nothing until the user right clicks the icon and initiates some action.

It's time for a new signature.

This article[^] explains how to do it in C++/Win32, so it may be of some help.

Try setting the ShowInTaskbar property to false because apps that are not displayed in the taskbar will not be displayed in the applications tab if you have noticed.

Yes I already use the property but it doesn't work... Dead | X|

Use this statment:
App.TaskVisible = False

This statment will hide your form from applications list. And it can be seen at Process.
If you Run it From IDE, it will not create any process. It is executed from IDE(vb6).

I am making a VB.NET web application in VS.NET 2008.

I am using streamwriter to write in the file. I am using filestream to create a new file

Dim fs As New FileStream("'" & FN & "'.txt", FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write)

using above line create the file in the default directory i.e (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE)
But i want to store my files in my defined directory say ("C:/HMSFiles/PPFiles/")

how to replace the default directory with defined directory??
how to read the file from the defined directory?

if i want to store these files on the server how to do this??

Here is the code:

Dim FilePath As String = ("C:/HMSfiles/PPFiles/")
                
Dim fs As New FileStream("'" & FN & "'.txt", FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write)
Dim s As New StreamWriter(fs)
pretestcatch = pretestTA.Text
posttestcatch = posttestTA.Text

s.WriteLine("PRE TEST PRECAUTIONS:")
s.NewLine = ""
s.Write(pretestcatch)

s.WriteLine("POST TEST PRECAUTIONS:")
s.NewLine = ""
s.Write(posttestcatch)
s.Close()
