[Resolved] Internet Browser shortcut with Infinite Loop

[Jericho]

So I'm getting annoyed with this ffriend of min that keeps on asking for code off me for a VB assignemnt. Now I'd like to give him some code, but not the right code, (play a joke on him...he...he..). So thats the reason I'd like to write a infinite loop program for Internet Explorer.

Would such Visual Basic program be possible?

I'm not going to write anything epic, but probably just the event handler to a button that keeps uploading internet explorer on a infinite loop after clicking.

I know morally, this is wrong. I would rather be an ass than a lazy bastard.

Maybe you should just say "no" to your friend.

you realize making an infinite loop is probably the easiest thing to do in coding?

do while true
     messagebox.show("get your own code")
loop

He might be lazy with his code, however hes productive with his pestering for code.

Come on, its a simple boolian question: Is it possible to write such a program, that would open IE as shortcut?

[ForumAccount]

if you just want to infinitely open internet explorers just do a process.start inside an infinite loop.

This is quite the opposite of what you just did.

Cheers ForumAccount, I can figure it out from here.

i think it would be more 'fun' to make a fake messagebox that just says "Are you going to stop asking for code?" with a Yes/No. but, if he trys to go click "No" the button randomly moves or something. that way you could so something annoying like:


do while mycustommsgbox.dialogresult <> windows.forms.dialogresult.yes
loop

Which will loop infinitely until he clicks yes or kills the process

oh yeah, that can be believed as I've been a member for 7 years and have a post count of 100. I'm always looking for an opportunity to increase my post count!

Indeed MundoDragon. Indeed. Also, it seems you arnt ignoring this thread now.

Also for anyone that looks or magically googles this thread in the future. Behold:

Imports System
Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports System.ComponentModel
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Process.Start("IExplore.exe")
loop
End Sub
End Class
