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

run the vb project in system start up

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.

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?

size of the form during development time

Hi to all,

When I create a new form and try to re size the form to 1024,768. It doesn't allow me since my monitor resolution is 1280,720. Is there any way to fix the form(to 1024,768) resolution during the development time?
Reason I want to do that is ::: My exe will run in a computer with resolution 1024,768. Initially for development I was using a monitor with 1024,768....But now,I shifted to 1280,720 and certain control messed up. I cannot use anchor property for all the controls, since I have lots of them.(I have used many panels within the form).

Thanks in advance

Just type the size you want into the Size property in the Properties window with the Form selected. Visual Studio does not resize forms in your project based on the size of your development machines resolution settings.

himangshuS wrote:

No excuse. With proper design, this shouldn't be a problem at all. And from the sounds of it, you have way too many controls on a single form to begin with.

Even Google does not have an answer.

If i were you, i will try to undestand exctly what does that vb6 program does nd i will rewrite it in .NET, i will never carry the VB6 crap to .NET.

There is no other Solution bra, you have to rewrite.

You simply have no choice but to start rewriting this by hand. The Conversion Wizard wasn't going to be able to do a 100% conversion anyway. There's always a good amount of code you have to rewrite by hand because of it.

Hi, I'm a VB beginner and got handed a project for a convention in two weeks, to print name badges. I'm having trouble figuring out how to take input from three text boxes (badge number, real name, and badge name) and printing them onto a single page. I have a working program that prints a single text box as a basis.

As a plus, they want to print the badges on a page of business cards fed into a lazer printer, which means that I need to be able to tell assign which card-size area to print to.

Any nudges in the right direction are appreciated.
