Not a problem but something that eveyone make enjoy *UPDATED* *CODE AS REQUESTED*

**Virus00110** · May 14th, 2003, 11:23 AM

I recently created a small app that will refresh a webpage based on a set amount of mintues and a set webpage that you want to refresh. however the timer will pause if you go to a different webpage. The reason I created this app is mainly for the VB Forums website so that I don't have to click the reload or refresh webbrowser buttons every couple of minutes to see if anyone posted anything. Please enjoy and if you have any question please message me. thanks

PS. if anyone would like to see the code or download it let me know and i will post it in the code bank.

PPS. Zip has been updated to include code posted at bottom i have also updated it here as well.

Gee!! Are you really expecting most of the users execute an EXE file? No offense.... but your nickname is a bit suspicious.

**Virus00110** · May 14th, 2003, 11:36 AM

You are very correct and I respect what you are saying but if you ever look at any of my post you would see that most of the people that ask question like disabling anti-virus programs and hiding their program from being seen in the task manager I always inform them that they would probably never get any answers because it sounds like they are writing a virus. In addition if I did it would be very easy to get me into trouble considering I post it and I’m sure that VB Forums tracks IP address and things like that. However if you don't believe me I will post the code in the code bank. I understand your concern.

**Virus00110** · May 14th, 2003, 11:46 AM

here is a little more proof that it isn't a virus but i still respect your concerns. i am currently running it even now as i typed this, but here is a screen shot of it and my desktop.

Nice little app there. And don't worry, this man does not write an virus software, no need to worry!

**James Stanich** · May 14th, 2003, 03:32 PM

I's use it, but I want the code, not the exe.

Trust is earned...

**fungi** · May 14th, 2003, 03:32 PM

Thanks bud. I know I can trust you....

I'll sleep so much easier tonight!

**VFPSucks** · May 14th, 2003, 03:37 PM

You can trust me, I know and have worked with Derek.

There are many people I trust on this forum...

I have been buds with them for years.

This "virus" person sounds sketchy. All I am saying...

**Virus00110** · May 14th, 2003, 03:43 PM

Ok everyone i understand you concern i have posted a zip with the code the exe is with it if you still don't trust me then just delete the exe. if you still don't believe me after that i will zip it again and re-re-post it w/o the exe.

You seriously think its that hard to click refresh? Id rather click refresh than run a complete application in the background which covers 1/3 of the screen just to get a refresh every X seconds....

I really see no use in that.

that's fine but when i'm at work and i'm working on something i don't feel like switching back and forth from what i'm doing to refresh the page to see if anyone answered my post. that takes time away from what i should be doing at work. and besides maybe i just felt like doing it for fun

oh and if you would download the code and look at it you can minimize the app to the system tray! wow what a concept

**JasonLpz** · May 14th, 2003, 06:04 PM

not to discorage anyone but this code is pure simplcity . If you want to make one just use the web browser template that comes with vb then add 1 button and 1 text box :
it would be something like this

VB Code:

Public OnOff As Integer
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    If OnOff = 0 Then
        Command1.Caption = "Started"
        Timer1.Enabled = True
        OnOff = 1
            Else
        Command1.Caption = "Stoped"
        Timer1.Enabled = False
        OnOff = 0
        End If
Timer1.Interval = Text1 * 1000
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
OnOff = 0
Timer1.Enabled = False
WebBrowser1.GoHome
End Sub
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
WebBrowser1.Refresh
End Sub

Not trying to mean anything offensive ok.

**JasonLpz** · May 14th, 2003, 06:06 PM

any you can always just press F5 on your keyboard instead of clicking and using mem for a app to do it

**Joacim Andersson** · May 14th, 2003, 06:21 PM

An EXE file could have a virus even if the creator didn't add it. Isn't that what a virus usually do, infect program files? So it's not only a question about trusting the creator, you must also trust that he scans his hard drive on a regular basis and that his anti-virus program is up to date. But not even then can you be sure that the file isn't infected, but then again this applies to every program you may download from the Net and it's always up to you when you deside to do so.

no no i don't think of that at all we are all here to learn and share knowledge right and that's almost how my code is with a few changes however for some reason the zip with all the code did upload and i am not at the computer i did the app on so i will re-re-post it tomorrow. no offense taken

LOL, I was speaking in general terms. I'm a bit tired of everytime someone uploads a compiled exe someone immediatly posts a reply like "if you think I will download a compiled program you're crazy". We all know about the danger of installing a program on our local system regardless of where it comes from. It's up to each and everyone to deside if they want to download it or not. I don't really think anyone browsing this forum really need to be reminded about it. No offence Mc Brain

**Virus00110** · May 15th, 2003, 07:00 AM

sorry to anyone that downloaded the zip and still found the exe. when i re-uploaded the zip yesterday i must have grabbed the wrong zip file so here is the correct zip file with the code and the exe. enjoy.
