Hi,
Can anybody tell me How to find some application is running in system tray or not using Visual Basic.
I want to know only the appliction running in system tray not all the processes running in system.
So, if some specified application is running in system tray i need to close it. So how can i achieve this using vb6.
Thanking you all
Praveen

There is no difference between the two. They are both normal processes. The icon in the Tray is controlled entirely by the application. You'll still have to iterate through the entire process list to find the processes your looking for and then close them.
TaskList in VB6[^]
Once you have the app you're trying to close, then closing it is a whole other matter. You must take care when closing an app. It's not as easy as it may sound...

In side of my application i am launching outlookexpress
with email address and subject line with content. in the content
i want to have hyperlink text just you can do "insert->hyperlink" in
outlookexpress
str_Temp = mailto:info@mydomain.com?&Subject="hello"&body="click here"
ShellExecute Me.hWnd, "open", str_Temp, vbNull, vbNull, SW_SHOWNORMAL
I want to have Click here as hyperlink not just text line.

This is the stupidest question. I'm quite new to VB, and i'm trying to find out what is the escape character.
For example, I am trying to do the following:
Formula = "This is a "STRING" inside a string"
How can I make it so that the " chars are escaped in the center part.
In C/C++/C#, i can escape with \
Thanks in advance,
Jon

Put two quote marks together. There is no escape character in VB...
Dim formula As String
formula = "This is a ""STRING"" inside a string"

Another way to do that would be to use the ChrW() function. 34 is the Char number of the quote, so you could say,
Dim Formula As String = "This is a " & ChrW(34) & "STRING" & ChrW(34) & " inside as string"

You could... but which way is less typing and, therefore, less prone to errors?

Thanks guys, both methods worked.
In fact, i read up on the CHR(34) method... and thats what I used.
What is the difference with CHR and CHRW?
Here was my final result:
Formula = "=IF(A" & RowPtr & "=" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ",E5)"
Pretty ugly looking code. I think VB should consider an escape char in the next release

This is taken straight out of the MSDN documentation:
Public Function Chr(ByVal CharCode As Integer) As Char
Public Function ChrW(ByVal CharCode As Integer) As Char
Chr uses the Encoding class in the System.Text namespace to determine if the current thread is using a single-byte character set (SBCS) or a double-byte character set (DBCS). It then takes CharCode as a code point in the appropriate set. The range can be 0 through 255 for SBCS characters and -32768 through 65535 for DBCS characters. The returned character depends on the code page for the current thread, which is contained in the ANSICodePage property of the TextInfo class. TextInfo.ANSICodePage can be obtained by specifying System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.ANSICodePage.
ChrW takes CharCode as a Unicode code point. The range is independent of the culture and code page settings for the current thread. Values from -32768 through -1 are treated the same as values in the range +32768 through +65535.
Numbers from 0 through 31 are the same as standard, nonprintable ASCII codes. For example, Chr(10) returns a linefeed character.

have some xml document describing our database.
I have an element
in side of that document for empty element, but
when I parse it using DOM in VB
For Each rowElement In xmlDoc.documentElement.childnodes
str_content = rowElement.childnodes(0).nodeValue
Next
when I have NULL in the element I have application error
said "NULL is not properly used". I tried to filter the
NULL by
If rowElement.childnodes(0).nodeValue = NULL then
....
however, vb doesn't recognize this null
do you think i should not use
for empty element in the first place?
there is another solution?
Thanks for help

If I read the documentation correctly, the only way you can have a null value for a CDATA section is if it looks like this:

I found some software that can get the computer id. I'm doing a project that needs to get the computer id for security. Could somebody help me and show me how to get computer id in vb.net?
Thanks a bunch.

I take it your looking for the ComputerName, or NETBIOS Name, of the computer?
You can get that from the Environment.MachineName property.
Dim compName As String = Environment.MachineName

I would like to know if there is a way to show the progress, using the progressbar, of the dataadapter fill command.
|
|
|
|
|
No. This is because the DataAdatper doesn't fire any events that you could use as progress. On top of that, the DataAdapter can't tell you how many records it is GOING to retrieve before it starts retrieving them. You'd have to do a query to get the number of records your GOING to retrieve, then do multiple queries in blocks of, say, 10 records at a time to fill the dataset and, in between those blocks of records, update the ProgressBar.

The reason your OnPaint method doesn't work, is because the Numeric Up/Down control is derrived from the Windows common control, and Windows handles the drawing of the NUD.
To accomplish what you want, you need to derrive from the Control or UserContrl (which you have), and do the painting yourself.

Can you tell me more detail ?
I found in normal form use numericupdown Paint event still cann't draw theme.

Like I said before, the Numberic Up/Down control is simply a .Net wrapper of the Windows common control.
Basically what this means, Windows draws the control. Not the .Net FCL (Framework Class Library).
Since Windows draws the control, you can't override the OnPaint method to allow theming.
What you would have to do, is inherit from the Control or UserControl. I'm going to assume that you will inherit from the UserControl. What you would do, is place two buttons onto the designer, one for the Up button, the other for Down (You could then theme the buttons, I think). You would then make a property for "Value". Each time the user clicks on one of the buttons, the property "Value" would change accordingly. Then you would use GDI+ to draw the value.
dim g as graphics = me.creategraphics
g.drawstring(val(value), me.font, new brush(me.forecolor), xpos, ypos)

my web service returns Xmlnode. I want to read attribute name and populate Dropdownlist.
Here is what I have been trying .. nothing seems to work ... any suggestions please
Dim SearchResult As MyWebservie = ar.AsyncState
Dim node As XmlNode = TicketSearchResult.EndGetEventList(ar)
//Dim ReadNode As XmlNode = node.SelectSingleNode("DATA") //
Dim Reader As New XmlNodeReader(ReadNode)
//Dim mydataset As New DataSet
//mydataset.ReadXml(Reader)
//Dim resultNodes As XmlNodeList = node.SelectNodes("raw") //node i need attributs from this
// Dim iCount As Integer = 0
// Dim aNode As XmlNode
// For Each aNode In resultNodes
// DropDwonLis1.Item.Add /// Console.WriteLine("Node {0} value: {1}", ++iCount, aNode.InnerText)
'ToDo: Unsupported operator
'ToDo: ++ operator not supported within expressions
Next aNode
here is what web service returns
- <root>
- <methodinfo>
<channelname>Search
<methodname>MyWebservice
<parameters>?APP_ID=1
<processtime type="milliseconds">453.1366
-
<row thisid="2" thisname="Beach ST=" "="">
<row thisid="1" thisname="Playhouse" st="GA">
<row thisid="3" thisname="Arena" st="MD">
<row thisid="4" thisname="Park" st="CA">
I want THISNAME IN DROPDOWNLIST and THISID as option Value in dropdownlist

Uhhh...What's this?
Dim SearchResult As MyWebservie = ar.AsyncState
This would appear that your defining SearchResult as your WebService, then assigning an AsyncState to it, but after that, you never use it. Also, what is ar? You switch to something called TicketSearchResult and call its EndGetEventList method.
As it is now, this code is completely incomprehensible. On top of that, we don't know what the code for the WebService method looks like, so we don't know if it is indeed returning what it's supposed to.
