[RESOLVED] 3 Very Simple Questions

[Yacoby]

Do what? Make a shortcut or launch an EXE?

Launch a program via VB

'------------------------

Unless you implement some heavy reflection, You can't do this.

Ah, OK

Are you coming from a PHP background?

No, it is just someting in my mind that you should be able to do

I don't have any real scripting ecperiance at all (I did some for a PC game mod but that doesn't count as it was very simple language) , and I am doing VB for A level, but I have got annoyed obout how everything they gave me to do is so simple, so I am doing stuff on my own.

'------------------------

Is it possible to have a script that is constantly running, as I have only managed to make scripts run on events

Ok. I um.. Wrote something/tried to explain something wrong

You can run parts of scripts, when you click a button, when you dobule click, when a dropdown is opened etc (See below for an example)

Private Sub ExitToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExitToolStripMenuItem.Click
        Close()
    End Sub

But is there any way so that part of the script is running all the time the app (.exe) is open, and you don't have to do any action

I just haven't found a way to do this yet.

I hope you understand this better now

'------------------------

What does this mean? I'm not familar with it:

Text"Var1"Part"Var2" = Green

I should have put:

Text"Var1"Part"Var2".text = Green

I wasn't sure of the syntax so I made it up

What I wanted to do was:

Dim Var1 as short
Dim Var2 as short
 
'If the code was like this
Text"Var1"Part"Var2".text = Green
 
'And the vars were set like this
Var1 = 2 
Var2 = 5
 
'then in effect, it would look like this:
Text2Part5.text = Green

I hope I made myself clearer this time

Thank you both for your help
