Prevent Startup Form from Loading using Command Line Arguments

Hi there
I'm developing a VB.NET windows forms application in VS2013.
The application will have 2 ways of being executed, one being by the user manually and the other being automated by the task scheduler.
When executed by the task scheduler, command line arguments will be used so that the application is aware that it is being run automatically and not by a user.
My problem is that I want the startup form to load when run by a user but I don't want it to load when it is run automatically, I just want to execute code.
Is it possible to prevent the startup form from loading by using the commandline arguments from the MyApplication_Startup event?
Cheers

Hi Aureuz,
>>Is it possible to prevent the startup form from loading by using the commandline arguments from the MyApplication_Startup event
It is impossible to accomplish it in the MyApplication_Startup event, we can use Form.Shown event:
#Form.Shown Event
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.shown(v=vs.110).aspx
If we start a form by using the commandline arguments, the count of CommandLineArgs will be above one, if so, use Me.Hide() method to hide this form.
Private Sub Form1_Shown(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Shown
Dim args As String() = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
If args.Count > 1 Then
Me.Hide()
Else
Me.Show()
End If
End Sub
You can also uncheck "Enable application framework" on the project properties application tab and select your startup object to a module object:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim args As String() = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
If args.Count > 1 Then
'Run your background code
Else
Dim f As New Form1
f.ShowDialog()
End If
End Sub
End Module

Ant: how to get command-line argument?

When using Ant to build Java source files, what is the syntax of obtaining command-line argument in build.xml?

From the documentation:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/running.html#libs
Examples
ant
runs Ant using the build.xml file in the current directory, on the default target.
ant -buildfile test.xml
runs Ant using the test.xml file in the current directory, on the default target.
ant -buildfile test.xml dist
runs Ant using the test.xml file in the current directory, on the target called dist.
ant -buildfile test.xml -Dbuild=build/classes dist
runs Ant using the test.xml file in the current directory, on the target called dist, setting the build property to the value build/classes.
ant -lib /home/ant/extras
runs Ant picking up additional task and support jars from the /home/ant/extras location
steps:
- You define a property (like ${my.prop}) in your build.xml
- You define it in the command line, like
ant -Dmy.prop=chosen_value compile
where "compile" is the target and "-Dmy.prop=chosen_value" defines the value of the property "my.prop" as "chosen_value".

Burrito - can't set 'command line arguments' (mobile)

Hi all,
The option to set command line arguments in the "Run/Debug Settings" - "Launch Configurations" dialog disappears when a new "Flex Mobile AIR Project" is created.
I am developing APKs that are launched via Intents from other Android apps; setting arguments for testing in the IDE would improve the workflow that now requires me to deploy to the device for testing. Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks,

Put the command into a file with execute permissions, including whatever command-line arguments you want. For instance, the file might contain the following:
#! /bin/bash
xpdf -g 1200x900 -z width -cont "$1"
In Firefox preferences, under "Applications," locate the appropriate Content Type and in the Action menu, select "Use other..." and then locate the executable file you just created and select it.
In UNIX-type operating systems at least, available options to the command can be found using the "man" command (e.g. "man xpdf" for the example above).

Connection string not in the command line argument.

Hi,
I found myself constantly looking for the debug connection string and to enter it in the "Command line arguments". I decided to create my Add-On base class from which all my add-ons inherit from.
In the constructor of the base Add-On class I determine the connection string based on whether the code is in debug more or not.
Example:
string connectionString = string.Empty;
#if DEBUG
    _connectionString = "0030002C0030002C00530041005000420044005F00440061007400650076002C0050004C006F006D0056004900490056";
#else
    // Get the log info
    if (Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().Length > 1 )
        _connectionString = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().GetValue(1).ToString();
#endif
I hope this help.

Thanks a lot,

try checking relevant environment variables like the CLASSPATH.... a major source of failures in Windows is when in the classpath there is a path containing SPACES.... also enabling some "debug" or "verbose" flag (not sure how to do it) would provide more insight...

How to add command line arguments to shortcuts in the LV8.5.1 installer

I want to create multiple shortcuts to my LV program, each with different command line arguments.
I can do this manually.
I want the installer to generate these shortcuts.
I can add different shortcuts in de installer build specification, but I cannot add commandline arguments in the shortcuts.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Rindert

Hello Forum,
Does anyone have any better data for this? I would also like to create an installer using Labview Project Explorer tool (Build Specification->Installer), and I have a need to create some shortcuts to some EXE's (VS.NET built, not LV) which need to have some arguments passed. I just verified that LV8.6 still does not seem to offer the option of passing arguments when creating shortcuts. Is this correct? Creating stub EXE's or batch files isn't a good option for my project, so I'd like to have someone confirm if LV installer tool can't create shortcuts w/ arguments before I fire up InstallShield.
Regards!

Problem associated with Command Line arguments

hi ,
I am not able to pass a file path as command line argument in java.
Actually i want to run a java program from the command prompt passing a file path . Something like this i tried to do , but its not working.
D:\VISHAL\src> java CopyFile C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\link.txt
where ,
CopyFile is the name of my class which i am going to run
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\link.txt is the argument.
Can anyone tell me whether a java program accepts an argument like this, if yes please tell me the exact syntax..
Thanks

is there any other way of solving this?Y don't U try it out with the logic as mentioned
below it wud be the case if U r not going with
java CopyFile "C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Desktop\link.txt" 1
String filepath = new String();
for(int i = 0; i < Arg.length; i++)
filepath.append(Arg);
File f = new File(filepath);
What???? This is a non-solution to a non-problem. First of all, you would be constructing a filename without spaces, when the real path contains spaces. Secondly, even if you did insert spaces it would not matter. What if the String (and it does not have to be a filename) contained tabs rather than spaces. The real (and really only) solution to the problem is to put quotes around the argument, for the exact reason stated in my last post.

Read in file name + path using command line arguments

Hi guys,
I am trying to use command line arguments to read in the name of two files. The code below works as long as the files are on the class path.
public class cmdLineArguments {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          String xmlFile1 = args[0];
                String xmlFile2 = args[1];
          System.out.println ("\nXmlFile1: " + args[0] + "\nXmlFile2: " + args[1]);
}I would like to be able to read files that are not on the class path as well by entering their full path along with their names.
In other words, It works if I type:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\workspace\CmdLineArgs\src>java cmdLineArgs file1.xml file2.xmlbut not if I type:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\workspace\CmdLineArgs\src>java cmdLineArgs c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xmlWould anyone please explain how I can edit the code to make it work? I guess I could take them both as a String, modify them manually (add a \ to it etc) but is there an easier way to do it? Even a reference to a tutorial, article etc about this would be very much appreciated.
Also, any idea why a code would compile and run fine in Eclipse but would create an error from command line?
Thanks a lot.

You need to learn about cmd.exe which is used to process the command line. The arguments passed to any program is the command line split at white space so your command line arguments of
c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xmlis turned into an array of
"c:\Documents", "and", "Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml", "c:\Documents", "and", "Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml"In other words instead of 2 arguments you actually have 6.
To get round this the file names need to be quoted
java cmdLineArgs "c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml" "c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml"

How to hide the command line arguments from solaris process

Hi All,
When I execute a JAR application from a java file using the Runtime.getRuntime, the command line arguments (user ID and Password details) which I passed for executing the application displayed on Solaris process (ps -ef).
Could anybody please help me, how can I hide either the process or the command line arguments from the Solaris process?
I cannot pass any asterix or any special character in place of password, because the executing application doesn't have any functionality to retreive the password which send as asterix characters.
Please help me
SumodeV

Thanks for all the response.
I have created a design and implement the functionality which executes the JAR application in Solaris environment without showing any details in the process details.
I have used the Java Reflection method, which invokes the JAR application. I am sharing the details here for all those who looking for it.
1, Inside the Customer application [Jar File is running for it], collect the necessary session details [Using System.get property method]
2, Create an independent Java file, which should be used to invoke the JAR application
3, Create the ProcessBuilder object and use a command - execute the Java file [a wrapper code] using normal Java command
4, Pass the necessary session details to the ProcessBuilder using the environment() function.
5. Collect the environment values in the independent Java file (Which was invoked by ProcessBuilder) and set details for its environment using System.setProperty.
6, Use reflection technique to invoke the JAR plugin [which you want to run]. You can use the standard Java functionality to read the MANIFEST file of JAR and load the main class using URLClassLoader.
7, Invoke the main method of the JAR file, which run the JAR application in Solaris window
This solution will make sure that the process cannot display any session details in the Solaris Environment.
Note: Use String[] array while create the command. Otherwise the JAR application cannot pop-up.

Sumode

Command line arguments with a Labview pda application

Hi Everyone,
I am in the process of writing some Labview code to run on a PDA that is called from another vendor's software. When called, I need to pass some information to it (in the form of an integer) and then return an error code when it has finished its task (again, as an integer).
Not being able to compile a my application as a labview dll for to run on a PDA with Windows Mobile 2003, I was hoping to be able to pass command line arguments to my program when compiled as an executable. This doesn't seem to be possible.
Could someone please confirm that Labview PDA applications do not support command line arguments?
Any suggestions on how to meet my objective would be most welcome .
Regards,
Mark

Paolo,
Thanks for your input: storing this information in a text file is a choice we are looking at. But it does leave us with the problem that the vendor's software will not necessarily know when our program has finished running, unless it continuously polls the file to see if there has been any update.
A dll would be ideal. I was hoping there might be a clever way of emulating this.
Regards,
Mark.

Automate Discoverer 4.1 install; Any command line arguments?

I'm working on automating the install of Discoverer 4.1 for use within my company. Does the setup.exe or orainst.exe take any command line arguments? Can it be configured for a default and silent install? Similiar to .msi? or Installshield setup.exes?
Please provide any command lines or arguments or a resource for these.
Thanks,
Chris

I have added the needed languages to Windows, and I
can produce the foreign characters using the keyboard.You can produce the characters in a command console window?
But when I pass strings containing those foreign chars
as command line arguments to a Java application, the
chars are replaced with question marks (\u003f) when I
get them using the args array.
You see the question marks on the console window? Did you actually look at the char value to confirm that the value is 0x003f? Sometimes a font problem will cause ? to display even though the underlying character is still being sent to the console or GUI component.
For instance, in a English Windows XP, I set the input
language to be Japanese. Then, I call my simple
application, which echoes the unicode code for each
char in each command line argument, as well as the
file.encoding, user.region and user.language
properties.
Windows has a couple of active charsets at any point in time: the file and console code page (OEM charset) and its GUI charset (ANSI charset). The file.encoding property reports the ANSI charset, not the OEM charset used in the console and file system.
Try this: set your "system" locale to Japanese as well. This will force the console charset to be 932 as well. Type "chcp" on the console to check what windows thinks the charset is.

Need Help with command line arguments for a class method

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to programming in java.
I want to a write a class method that adds up its command line arguments which are numbers. For example, if the input was .... 5 2 3....then the output would be 10.
I have been told to use the Convert to convert a string to a double. I'm ok for writing the class method but I have no idea how to use Convert and why I need it in the method.
Can anybody help please?

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to programming in java.
I want to a write a class method that adds up its
command line arguments which are numbers. For
example, if the input was .... 5 2 3....then the
output would be 10.Okay. So you would receive the numbers to add as the String[] argument to a main method. The steps are simple:
1) declare a variable for the count
2) for each String in the array:
2.1) extract the value as a double
2.2) add this to the count
3) output the resulting count
I have been told to use the Convert to convert a
string to a double.
I'm ok for writing the class
method but I have no idea how to use ConvertThere is no class Convert in the Java API.
and why
I need it in the method. Do you understand you need to somehow convert each String to a double (step 2.1)? Since Convert is unknown to me, maybe you should just take a look at class Double. It can help you do step 2.1, the rest should be trivial enough.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Double.html
Give it a go and feel free to post back with a specific problem you are having, accurately described if you please :-)

Command Line argument is not valid please verify the switch.......???
