Hello,
I'm a super fresh newbie to VB, and I'd really appreciate any help! (I'm using Visual Studios 2005)
My current issue is that I'm trying to open an application using:
I'm a super fresh newbie to VB, and I'd really appreciate any help! (I'm using Visual Studios 2005)
My current issue is that I'm trying to open an application using:
Dim ProcID As Integer
ProcID = Shell("""C:\FlowMaster 6.0\FlowCUT.exe""", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
AppActivate(ProcID)
I got this code from the help file. I've just put it in a button, and when I click it, I see the splash screen for the program, but then I get an error. I'm able to open a different application, and enter the username and password by using this same method, so I'm thinking that the issue is one of security settings. FlowCUT does not have a username or password upon startup, so I'm a little confused. Do I need to do something in VB about this, or is it some sort of setting that I'm looking for in FlowCUT itself
That is my problem in the short term. In the long term, my ultimate goal is to create an interface for this existing program named FlowCUT that would limit the options avaliable to the user. (So the user would only be able to view the CAD image, and begin the cutting procedure, but they could not modify any specs) My plan is to just have a small app that operates the program, but keeps it hidden somehow, and just has less buttons, etc, but is taking all info from FlowCUT. If there is a better way to do this, I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks in advance.
