HTML Hidden Variable Post in VB.net

You'll have to get on Adobe's Developer site and look for an Illustrator SDK.
IIRC, Adobe charged $ to subscribe to their Dev site though.

HtmlHidden is rendered as a plain simple hidden field and follows tradtional POST regardless of the server being ASP or .NET or something else.

By mentioning did you mean WebRequest? You may need to manually encode them and submit it!

Any links or direction I can look to??

Thanks;

RDC is the Report Designer Component. Sorry I am trying to find any guidance on using the embedded RDC is a application. I am sure somone must have done this, I just can't find anything in the .Net world that tells you the general tasks you need to hit.

Any suggestions would be great!

hi, I have a project(Windows Application) which i need to add a web reference to. For some reason, if i try to add a web reference it opens up a dialog box with stating "Do you want to save file or open it?

The name of the file is HelpWaterMark.htm? I know it is one of the project option which may have caused this.

It doens't let me add a web reference. If I click open the file then, it would open the file located at url instead of adding the reference to the project. Does anyone know why?

If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate that. I am stuck with this issue for long time. I would appreaciate any kind of response.

thanks a lot

Thanks

Active Window

Hi,
Is there a way to make a certain application as the active window at certain instance? For example, I want to make another application(such as print etc) as the active window while my application(vb project) is running. Also, is there a way to return the focus to my application for example by a click of certain keystrokes or button? I'm not sure what it is called, but its like controlling the input focus so that it belongs to different application at different instance. I hope you understand what I mean.

Re: Active Window

Dave Kreskowiak5-Jul-06 5:59

scan the picture and print

5-Jul-06 5:59

Kind of. I know where you're going with this ... SendKeys.

You can change the active application using VB6's AppActive function. All you need to do is give it the window title that it needs to find. The problem is, you can guarantee it's going to stay there between the time you call AppActivate and SendKeys get's done sending its information.

Once your done, to get the focus back to your own app, all you do is call SetFocus on the control on your form that you want the focus sent to.

Focus can change at any time, even while you, or SendKeys, is typing in a control. It's maddening when a background service just insists on popping up a warning dialog, or someone has a IM window open, like Yahoo Messenger, and a message comes in, stealing the focus from yours or any other application!

You might want to ask specific questions about what you're having a problem with. Just asking "How can write this entire piece of software" will just get you ignored.

As Dave guided you, forums can facilitate your mission for a solution to a business problem on hand, rather than guiding you end-to-end and proliferate lazy bunch.

Innovations need to be seeded from within and catalysed from peers and similar fraternity though. Smile | :)

Execute EXE

nitin_ion5-Jul-06 1:06

5-Jul-06 1:06

I have an exe which is placed on server and i am executing it from a network system
now to execute the exe i am using the process class

The problem is that when i execute the exe it executes on the local system and not on the server.
I checked the processes in the task manager and it is showing that the exe process is running on the local system wherease i want to execute the exe on the server.
How can i invoke the exe from a network system and run on server

There are HUGE security implications when doing this. You can use WMI, and it's Win32_Process class, to launch remote processes, but you cannot launch interactive processes remotely. That means anything with a user interface. Also, the process you launch will be severly restricted in what it can do and what it can get to, depending on the account that it is launched under.

I am using this code and trying to run the calc.exe
But calculator starts on my local system and not on that system also when i try to reboot the same system it does reboot.

Any help is appereciated

Dim co As ConnectionOptions = New ConnectionOptions
co.Username = UserID
co.Password = Password
Dim processClass As New ManagementClass("Win32_Process")

Dim ms As System.Management.ManagementScope = New System.Management.ManagementScope("\\IP\root\cimv2", co)
'Query remote computer across the connection
Dim oq As System.Management.ObjectQuery = New System.Management.ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process")
Dim query1 As ManagementObjectSearcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher(ms, oq)
'Dim queryCollection1 As ManagementObjectCollection = query1.Get
Dim inParams As ManagementBaseObject = processClass.GetMethodParameters("Create")

' Fill in input parameter values
inParams("CommandLine") = "calc.exe"
Dim outParams As ManagementBaseObject = processClass.InvokeMethod("Create", inParams, Nothing)

Did you READ my post??

"You can use WMI, and it's Win32_Process class, to launch remote processes, but you cannot launch interactive processes remotely. That means anything with a user interface."

This means that you can launch Calc on the remote machine, but the user on that machine CANNOT use it, since no user interface is displayed!

There is NO way around this!

But there is no calc process running on the remote system. Process only runs on the local machine

Dave Kreskowiak6-Jul-06 2:34

6-Jul-06 2:34

:SMACK: Listen to what I'm saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The process starts on the remote system, BUT THERE WILL NOT BE ANY VISIBLE USER INTERFACE ON THAT MACHINE!! If the application you launch tolerates this, it will stay running and show up in the TaskManager on the remote machine. If not, it'll quit immediately.

But, in either case, the user on that machine will NEVER see the user interface of a process on his machine that was launched from another computer.

I understand and this is what i want to communicate, there is no process running on the remote machine in the task manager.

I m not bothered abt the interface calc.exe is just and example

The process starts on the local machine in the task manager.
