Hi all,
I hope someone can assist. I used to do a bit of VB6 programming a while ago, but for one reason or another I haven't touched it in ages. :(
I am running Windows 7 and am about to reinstall VB6 to create a program ("Console Project") I need.
What I need from the program:
I have two (possibly three) seperate programs that I want to start from my "Console Project". All two/three programs can have one or more parameters so I would like to have one form (console.frm) that has all three listed on it. Underneath each program name it will have a list of checkboxes that if selected will be the paramaters. Also next to Program 2 & 3 will be a checkbox which, by defualt, will be unchecked so user has to check it ro run programs 2 & 3.
Program 1,2 or 3 could have /L or /run or /min etc. as parameters.
I would like the program to launch Program 1 (with the selected parameters) then pause for 5 seconds launch Program 2 (with selected parameters) pause 5 second and launch program 3 (with selected parameters).
It would also be nice if there was a virtual command line in a textbox so that as you add or remove parameters they are shown.
At the bottom I intend to have three buttons.
1. Close (this will close my console and ALL THREE PROGRAMS.
2. Reset (This will remove ALL paramaters from ALL programs.
3. GO (This will run the programs and paramaters and minimise my console to the systray.
What I would like from you guys is:
Advice - Is this possible?
Links to how to make the console parts (plain easy English as I am struggling with the basics (pardon the pun) ;) )
I hope to install VB6 tonight (about 9pm GMT) and make up the initial look of the forms.
Thanks in advance for the advice and help
