Re: Application Installation only once. Mekong River9-Sep-04 6:06 Mekong River 9-Sep-04 6:06  In my opinion, an application should distribute on a read/write memory stick. When the user install an application successfully, then it will erase every source of setup file from the memory. So no one could install for the second time. In my country (Cambodia) some publisher publish a CD with a small scratch on it. When the user run setup it work fine but when they take the CD to copy it said error because it meet the scratch area on the disc. But this method just reduce the speed of illegal copy software. It can't completely a hundred percent victory. Some people just buy one CD and distribute it to his/her family or his/her friend (not all people, just small amount of people).

Save Properties of a TIFF image in Text File MNaveedSaeed8-Sep-04 21:17 MNaveedSaeed 8-Sep-04 21:17  I want to have a program in VB, in that program i will input the TIFF image and it will show me it properties not by viewing the image but by writing information on a text file. Though i have image control but they don't support TIFF images. Can any body have any idea about it.

Second, you might want to check out a 3rd party TIFF library, such as LibTIFF[^].

You can't just go into the folder and delete everything. You're not really looking at a folder of files. What you looking at is a Shell Extension that presents the cache data in a format that LOOKS like files in folders. You'll have to enumerate the Cache Groups and Entries and delete them one at a time. The docs for the WinInet Caching functions start here[^].

Cookies are done similarly, but you have to work around the index.dat file.

Are you crazy? SendKeys is DEFINATELY NOT the best way to do it. The method that you're using is problematic at best. One, your relying on the user interface of another application, which can change over time and versions. Two, your using SENDKEYS, which will post keystrokes to the window that has the input focus, which, in a multitasking environment, can change AT ANY TIME. Even between the time when you activate the application your going to send the keys to and the time that you actually call SENDKEYS. This can AND DOES happen even when you put the SendKeys statement directly after your activate. TT(n) wrote: Cookies are done similarly, but you have to work around the index.dat file. If you have to make special exceptions for a file, it makes SendKeys far more difficult to use that it should be. No... the BEST WAY to do it is using the same API functions that IE uses, using the same methods. And you don't have to make any special exceptions for anything. EDIT: I should have put in an example of the problem I talking about. Your AppActiveate statement executes, right then you have an Instant Messager message come in, I don't care what product its running on. When that message comes in, some IM apps will bring the chat window into the foreground and snag the focus, others will let you control this functionality. Now, your SendKeys statement runs. Where do you think your keystrokes are going to go? Hint: Not where your AppActivate statement says! If your going to tell me, or ANYONE else here, they're "wrong", you better have a mountain of evidence to back it up, not just your opinion. If not, you only have an ALTERNATIVE method to what was suggested as a solution.

I have them automated to clear stuff out after IE is shut down. Since the windows IE advanced property for this does not always work, so go figure. Some of mine are set on timers, and they always continue focus, though anything is possible, so you could modify the code to cancel out some interference. With your method,... I have seen it not work many times. Probably due to hacks, etc. I understand you are offended for being told wrong by a rookie. But to go on, like there is no way to just delete them, as a user would is incorrect, or INCOMPLETE, is the word i was looking for. You, can do so more reliably from the;P mountain of evidence that I have seen. Re: Delete files and folders ] TT(n)12-Sep-04 12:01 TT(n) 12-Sep-04 12:01  This code works for someone looking for a simple answer, as asked. Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim ExpId As Integer On Error Resume Next ExpId = Shell("Explorer c:\Documents and Settings\Users Folder\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files", vbMaximizedFocus) AppActivate (ExpId) SendKeys ("%(e+a){delete}%(f+c), 1") End Sub An automated version, could wait until processes are idle or shutdown etc. The workaround for the index file, in the cookie folder, isn't much for complicated but there are few ways.

But I have with other applications stealing focus, especially in Instant Messaging environments and login scripts running concurrent utilities for various tasks. In an environment with 15,000 users, SendKey's flaws shine VERY brightly... It was just much smaller code to use the right API's correctly, than it was to counteract the flaws using SendKeys...

If the API's were smaller, why not post it with a few lines? API's are flawed too, it is big business to get cookies etc on your machine. You have a point, sendkeys can be funky but within the correct parameters works just fine. Besides the person asking the question sounds pretty green.

Data is very important regurding how, and when the spyware will go in. For instance, a common spyware is actually on a comcast cd(broadband) I recieved. It installs it's look-a-like browser, with a some isearch that doesn't even work. The ironic part, is that comcast advertises that they can eliminate certain spyware's, INCLUDING the one on the CD, for a fee ofcour$e. That's like starting up a windshield repair service, and then at night while no one is looking, go around bashing windows. Ok now that it's over. You stand corrected.

Any problems are reported back to the manufacturer and fixed. I've done it countless times with both Microsoft and Novell. THAT's how professionals handle these issues.

Later a**hole. how to add chm help file into vb.net project. rajad8-Sep-04 18:04 rajad 8-Sep-04 18:04  Hi all, Please help me. How to add the .chm help file into vb.net project. My application running from IIS. I tried help.showhelp(me,"filename"). Its working fine coz i stored manually into application folder. The application is running from web browser through IIS server. But when the client’s are accessing from the website the (compiled) .chm file must download automatically into client PC. How to put the path as well??? Thanks & Regards Rajad rajad Re: how to add chm help file into vb.net project. Dave Kreskowiak9-Sep-04 10:52 Dave Kreskowiak 9-Sep-04 10:52  This question really belongs in the ASP.NET Forum. The path the the client uses to get to the .CHM file will be just like any other file that is served up by your webserver. When your clients hit {F1} on their machine, they'll get the Help for Internet Explorer, not your application. You'll either have to provide a button on your pages that will launch a link to the .CHM file on the server, or you'll have to supply JavaScript code on your pages that will handle downloading the correct .CHM file and launching it.

Sorry it’s not an ASP.net app. It’s a VB.net application and running under IIS server. I have given below the steps that how our application running: 1). the client will hit the website then the vb.net application will be downloaded into client PC. 2). the help file (.chm compiled) will open when client press the help button. 3). e.g. help.showhelp("XXXX") as per code the file will be openind... It’s working fine when i am running on my local pc coz the file I stored manually @ my application folder. 4). but when the client running from IIS how to???? Thanks again... Re: how to add chm help file into vb.net project. Dave Kreskowiak10-Sep-04 1:13 Dave Kreskowiak 10-Sep-04 1:13  It's not being run under an IIS Server, it's being deployed by it. There's huge difference... The best way to deal with this is to create a Web Setup project for your app. That way, all of the files that the app needs will be installed in their proper places.
