How about this approach instead? How do you map a network drive using the framework??

I am new to .NET from VB6 and I am having trouble accessing a network resource. I have successfully used this API in VB6 but now I keep getting error 67 ERROR_BAD_NET_NAME. I have checked and double checked what I am passing to the api function but it still is not working. What am I missing...

I got that from the docs and thought that was what I was doing. I am using the createfile API on the client end and createpipe on the server end. These functions appear to be working. It's when I try to call connectnamedpipe on the server and it keeps returning system error 536...

I am developing an application that will communicate with another application (that I am not developing) using named pipes. So in the mean time I am developing a simulator app that will only preform the communication portion so I can work out the details. The problem is timing I think. From all...

Perhaps I should try installing the components before creating an instance of them ... duh!! Note to self: you must first install windows messaging before you can create a message queue.

Trying to create a simple message queueing applicating but I am getting error 429 activex control can't create object. I set the references to include mqoa.dll. I am running XP. Dim qinfo As new MSMQQueueInfo Dim q As MSMQQueue Dim msg As MSMQMessage qinfo.PathName = "PRIVATE$\test&quot...

After more investigation I found this; http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Programming_Languages/Visual_Basic/Q_20256011.html It is an exe that overwrites the header of your exe file and alllows you to intercept stdin of your app. This is what I wanted to do but I don't want my app to...

Thanks strongm, I read your example and although it is not exactly what I wan't to do its definently brough me closer to where I want to be. This application is going to launch an instance of my application and write something to Stdin. My trouble so far has been that I cannot access Stdin from...

I am writing an application that must communicate with an older application developed in C++ 4.0. I am not involved with the development on the C++ application but it is the main system currently in place now and cannot be modified much. I also do not get to pick the communication methods that...

I am extracting information of a child window in another application but I want to ensure that the child window used is the active window (The child currently selected). Do I have to EnumProp to get this information? If so what atom string do I use to find this (I was just reviewing the API...

I have a vbs file that I want to use API calls in. It errors out on the declare statements though. How should I change the syntax to allow this to work. Declare Function EnumWindows Lib "user32" (ByVal lpEnumFunc As Any, ByVal lParam As Any) As Long Declare Function GetWindowText Lib...

I got it!!!! Thanks-you so much for your help. Once I started expiriementing with the API calls and using SPY++ it was pretty easy to get it to work. You have opened a whole new world up of API for me and I can't thank you enough. Nick

I am looking at the documentation but I can't seem to find a demo on how to use EnumWindows in VB. I am having a little difficulty understanding how the actual function works. I have found what windows object to send the message to using Spy++ but I can't get a handle to the window (or button)...

post this question in the VBA forum and you'll get a better response.

I have this application that opens a word document to generate a report. I need to automate a task in the application upon the closing of the word document but the application does not support OLE automation (I can't even get a reference to the darn thing). I was thinking that I may be able to...
