[RESOLVED] How to run any software in background?

It will update it if the Value Name is already there, otherwise it will add it.

But i want to check the value.. before adding in the start up...
On a form a check box is there... if programme is already in the start up then the check box value will be show one... other it will be zero....
is it possible?
thanks 4 reply

yep just updated the module and form again .. see modified version attached.
[the reg module is simply a stipped down version of one with tons of functions]

:bigyello:

@ Rory Thanks a lot........
send me your Yahoo Id

add this example on the form .. or modify to your needs
(or put as public in a module, or even modify the QueryValue Function if wanted) ..

example uses a Checkbox (Check1)

VB Code:

Private Function CheckValue() As Boolean
    If Len(QueryValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, _
    "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", _
    "My Program")) Then
        CheckValue = True
    Else
        CheckValue = False
    End If
End Function
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    If CheckValue Then
        Check1.Value = vbChecked
    Else
        Check1.Value = vbUnchecked
    End If
End Sub

Ok .. see if this revised version helps .. module called mStart contains all the main functions, the global module contains global registry functions. Examples in the Form for the checkbox and everything else you asked.

Edit: i see you got it after i posted, well done :thumb: :bigyello:

@ Rory
Thanks 4 great response....
But why u add 2 module in new file............

one module is only for the Startup functions/subs .. all private and just 3 public functions; exists, add, remove .. the other module is just a general global module that contains the Registry API Functions .. if you dont have them elsewhere you can just chuck them in the Startup module and make it one file .. could have made it a class module, but its 5am and a regular module should suffice :wave:

@rory.........
Thanks a Lot..........Again.... :)

@Rory :wave:
Another concept coming in my mind our project running at the task bar and I am showing it at startup using some code..
When we click on mouse at the start up the pop up (msn type) form appear…
And when pc start pc name saved in the database
A combo is appearing showing all pc names that are presently login….
Database is at server….
What I want that I select a pc name from the combo…..
And type a message then the message goes to another pc…. :confused:

Or directly I want to say have u any concepts of LAN chat….? :)

Thanks :thumb:

You'd want to use winsock... check the Networking forum here, or search for Winsock .. ;)

Winsock's a little more detailed as its all event related so you have to handle everything that can occur .. there's plenty of copy paste code in these forums for Winsock server & clients though.

You have any code for it.........

@Rory :)
Please Check this one what error is occuring... :confused:
run and click on connect... then type data in the text box...

The code above creates a simple client-server application. To try the two together, run the project, and click Connect. Then type text into the txtSendData TextBox on either form, and the same text will appear in the txtOutput TextBox on the other form.

But error is occuring ... please any one is able to sloe it.... :confused:
thanks.. :thumb:
