Yeah, it's a bit diff. compared to VB6.

Any suggestions, ideas, or 'constructive criticism' are always welcome.

Re: run the vb project in system start up

4-Mar-09 21:29

Hi to all,

I wanted to run my vb exe whenever the system starts up. The idea behind the scene is to "not allow the user to do anything in the system except my own application."(for some security issue). I have made the form maximized, the control buttons are removed, special keys are disabled. Now i should run in system start up.

If I put the exe in startup folder of system, it takes sometime to run. by that time the user is able to do something else in the system. I dont want that to happen too.

So, could you please tell me if there is nay other solution ofr the same,

Thanks in advance

Open the registry editor and modify this node;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell = "C:\calc.exe"

This will launch "C:\Calc.exe" instead of the Windows' Explorer, directly after login. Enjoy Smile | :)

edit the following registry item :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\userinit,"C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe,your application's executable path here"

It will run your program along with login to system.Don't remove C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe while adding your application's path otherwise your system will no logon.

What is a test dialog? I dont think any such dialogbox exists.

no its not a dialog. Its a command. In vb6 you can press cntrl+T to test a form. Doing that you can view the dialog(just the designer, no ovents will get triggered).

In visual studio 2005 also there is a button exist for the same. (right click on the toolbar and select "dialog editing" option). But i dont know how to use it.
I hope now I am clear..

Thanks

No - CTRL+T in VB6 opens the components dialog which allows you to add controls, designers, etc to the project. The dialog doesn't test anything.

Guessing from your comment you want to add controls to the toolbox in .net. Right click on the toolbox and pick 'Choose Items'.

Any suggestions, ideas, or 'constructive criticism' are always welcome.

size of the form during development time

For applications under VB6 and C++/MFC which use the Dialog Editor (rather than WinForms), it was possible in Visual Studio to test out a dialog to preview the dialog using the "Format / Test Dialog..." menu (or by the Ctrl-T accelerator) and then hitting ESC to exit the preview to get back to the dialog editor.

To my knowledge, this functionality is not found in the editor for Windows Forms based applications in Visual Studio.

Has anyone implemented a plug-in or extension to Visual Studio to allow previewing WinForms from the editor?
