During cmd prompt, need to send control c to break

hi,
i am using labview and calling a cmd prompt window (syst exec) and executing a command.
upon completion of the command, i am able to read the contents of the cmd prompt window.
the problem is, i have to physically hit "control and c" on the keyboard to get the application to stop.
i seem unable to automatically send the "control c" (03) to the cmd prompt, in order to stop it, while it is executing.
anyone have any idea's?
thanking you in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It sounds like you are loosing the focus of the window. I assume you are using the windows utils?. See picture. This works for me.

How can I control the image size when I export form iphoto, the choice is too limited, I need to send a photo under 3 MB but if I choose high quaulity it is only 1.1 and i need to keep the best quaulity I can. Thanks for help.

How can I control the image size when I export form iphoto, the choice is too limited, I need to send a photo under 3 MB but if I choose high quaulity it is only 1.1 and i need to keep the best quaulity I can. Thanks for help.

Any image can only be as large as the Original. With a program like Photoshop you can UpRes an image and get it to a bigger size, larger files size as well, but the actual quality of the image will be degraded, depending on the UpRes system and the original quality of the image.
iPhoto is not the program to be doing that in and I don't think it even has that option.
So I suspect the image you are trying to send isn't much bigger than what you are getting. You can also try Exporting it from iPhoto to yopur desktop and see what size you end up with. If it is still that 209KB +/- file size then that is the size of the original image.

I want to show console output in my cmd prompt in C# winform application

Hi,
I'm launching the some process in C# .net Winform appliaction. But i couldn't able to see console output on the screen. The process is getting launched but inside cmd prompt window, it is showing nothing. I would like to show something on cmd prompt. Please
help on this.
using (Process comxdcProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process())
comxdcProcess.StartInfo.FileName = fileName;
comxdcProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = args;
comxdcProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
comxdcProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
comxdcProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
comxdcProcess.Start();
this.errorComment = comxdcProcess.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
StreamReader myStreamReader = comxdcProcess.StandardOutput;
//// Read the standard output of the spawned process.
this.errorComment = myStreamReader.ReadToEnd();
comxdcProcess.WaitForExit();

@Hariprasadbrk
Do you mean you have use process class to start "cmd prompt" And want to display some output in it?
If so, there is no need to use RedirectStandardOutput property. This property means the output of an application is written to the
Process.StandardOutput stream.
// Setup the process with the ProcessStartInfo class.
ProcessStartInfo start = new ProcessStartInfo();
start.FileName = @"C:\7za.exe"; // Specify exe name not cmd exe.
start.UseShellExecute = false;
start.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
// Start the process.
using (Process process = Process.Start(start))
// Read in all the text from the process with the StreamReader.
using (StreamReader reader = process.StandardOutput)
string result = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.Write(result);
Output
This section shows the output of the process.
7-Zip (A) 4.60 beta Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Igor Pavlov 2008-08-19
Usage: 7za <command> [<switches>...] <archive_name> [<file_names>...]

So you can start a cmd exe.
Please also take a look at the article from codeproject
How to redirect Standard Input/Output of an application
In summary, the shutdown proces is invoked from my application, and it displays the output from the process in RichTextBox control.

Process.Start - getting different output when running command using this method than I am if I run same command in CMD prompt

Hi
Creating an application to analyze .dmp files - all working well except this odd issue
If I open command prompt and enter this command:-
kd -z C:\Windows\MiniDump\042414-24632-01.dmp -c "!analyze -v"
Then it works and shows me all the output I need (shown at bottom of post)
If I run same command in VB.net using following code - then it doesn't give the same output - the bits I need at the end created by the !analyze -v switch don't appear
Any ideas why it is not seeing the switch correctly - setting a breakpoint and checking contents of startinfo seems to be showing correct cmd line i.e. "kd -z C:\windows\minidump\042414-24632-01.dmp -c "!analyze –v;q""
Dim myprocess As New Process()
myprocess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Debuggers\x86\kd"
myprocess.StartInfo.Arguments = "-z C:\windows\minidump\042414-24632-01.dmp -c ""!analyze –v;q"""
myprocess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
myprocess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
myprocess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
myprocess.Start()
TextBox1.AppendText(myprocess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd())
Output when run from cmd prompt:-
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Debuggers\x86>kd -z C:\Windows\MiniDump\042414-24632-01.dmp -c "!analyze -v;q"

Try it by opening the Cmd prompt as the actual process and passing the Filename and its arguments as the arguments of the Cmd process. If you notice there is a "-C" before the Filename and Arguments in this example. The "-C"
tells the cmd to execute the commands and then close itself. You can also use a "-K" which tells the cmd to execute the commands and keep itself open. Being you are not showing the cmd window you don`t want to keep it opened because the
user can`t close it so, that is why i used "-C".
I don`t have the program so, you can just experiment to see what it does. Maybe you should try using "-K" and show the cmd window by commenting out the CreateNoWindow line so you can see what is in the cmd window while testing.

Creating a user prompt when a boolean control is first lached but not contiuously showing while it is lached.

Greetings,
I need a boolean control that will write measured data to a text file while it is lached and do nothing while it is unlached (which is simple). However, I also need it to display a dialog box when it is first lached to prompt the user to either append to an existing file or create a new file. It should not contiously prompt the user to select new or append while it is lached. It should only reprompt if the boolean has been unlached and relached.
Any ideas? I have tried several different approaches but everything that I have done has either not worked at all or contiuously prompts while lached.
I know it will involve a shift register and at least one boolean comparison but I cannot figure out the arrangement.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi BB,
looked at the Pt-by-Pt functions. There you will find a ready-to-use VI to detect edges of a boolean signal!
Or use that boolean math: RisingEdge = signal[n] AND NOT(signal[n-1]). (Here you need the already mentioned boolean function with a shift register...)
All you need is opening the dialog for rising edges of the boolean signal...
Best regards,
GerdW

InDesign CC no longer packages fonts when I need to send a project to the printer

Hey Adobe team: Long-time user from when Photoshop was but a sprout. I recently upgraded from Creative Suite 6 to Creative Cloud and have run into a troubling problem. InDesign CC no longer packages fonts when I need to send a project to the printer. This meant that I had to completely redo a project on deadline for a problem that I’ve never had before. How is this possibly helping your users? And is there a solution in the works or do I need to cancel Creative Cloud and go back to CS6?

There was nothing done specifically with InDesign 9 or 10 (the CC and CC 2014) versions of InDesign to change or disable packaging of fonts when packaging a document. It should be absolutely no different from InDesign 8 (the CS6 version).
Troubleshooting hints:
(1)     Make sure you check the Copy Fonts (Except CJK and TypeKit) option in the package dialog.
(2)     Make sure that you are not using any CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) complex fonts that we specifically will never put into a package.
(3)     TypeKit fonts won't package.
(4)     Make sure that your file system permissions are such that InDesign can create all the necessary directories and subdirectories for the packaging operation.
(5)     If on MacOS, exit InDesign and try forcing a clearing of your system font cache and then reboot.
(6)     Exit InDesign and then find and delete all files on your system with filenames of the form AdobeFnt##.lst where ## is a two digit number; don't delete any other files that start with AdobeFnt. Then reboot and restart InDesign.
(7)     Reset InDesign's preferences that may have become corrupted. For Windows, start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files. For MacOS, while pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
One of these should either address or resolve your problem. Again, we at Adobe are not aware of any generic issue with packing fonts with InDesign.

Operating system corrupted, wont boot. Any way to get admin rights in cmd prompt?

My operating system has gotten totally corrupted and no longer boots. I get a recovery screen that tells me my registry is corrupted. File: \Windows\system32\config\system, Error code 0xc000014c. I have no recovery media (my computer, a refurb, did not com with any) I want to wipe the hard drive totally clean and do a fresh clean install. I can get to the command prompt through the system recovery by hitting esc at boot up but it wont allow me to reformat the hard drive because of write protections. I tried turning off the write protections at the cmd prompt level but it fails because I cant access it with admin rights. The only way I have found to turn on admin rights for the cmd prompt in online searches is to do it from inside the win8 operating system. Obviously I cannot do that as the OS is too corrupted to be run. Is there any command I can use at the dos prompt that will turn on admin rights? Or better yet just some way to force a total reformat?
Thanks!

Are you following this? No need for command prompt. Just choose Recovery Manager.

I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.

Hi, thanks for reading!
I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.
I have a problem where I need to use a corporate designed
.swf in a digital signage solution, but have been told by the legal
department that it can not be modified in any way, I also can't
have the source file yada yada. I pulled the .swfs from their
website and I decompiled them to see what I was up against.
The main swf that I need to control is HCIC.swf and the
problem is it starts w/ a preloader, which after loading stops on a
frame that requires user input (button press) on a play button,
before the movie will proceed and play through.
What I have done so far is to create a container swf,
HCIC_container.swf that will act as Target for the HCIC.swf, and
allow me to send actionscript to the file I'm not allowed to
modify.
I managed to get that done with the help of someone on
another forum. It was my hope that the following script would just
start HCIC.swf at a frame past the preloader and play button, and
just play through.
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container",
getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
mcLoader.loadClip("MCIC.swf", container);
function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
mc.gotoAndPlay(14);
But unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. Because there
is a media-controller.swf, that is being loaded by HCIC.swf that
has the controls including the play button to start HCIC.swf.
Here's a link to a .zip file with all 3 .swf files, and all 3
.fla files.
http://www.axiscc.com/temp/HCIC.zip
What I need to do is automatically start the HCIC.swf file
bypassing the pre-loader and play button without editing it or the
media-controller.swf in anyway. So all the scripting needs to be
done in HCIC_container.swf.
I know this is confusing, and its difficult to explain, but
if you look at the files it should make sense.
ActionScripting is far from my strong point, so I'm
definitely over my head here.
Thanks for your help.

Got my solution on another forum.

How to execute a Scenario from Windows CMD prompt

Please can you let me know how to execute the Scenario from a Windows CMD prompt? I am not sure if it is any different from "ODIStartScen" command that ODI uses to execute the scenario.
Appreciate your help.

Hi SH,
I tried running the scenario from the command line, but the process was not completed and it came back with the below message
Session : 131774001 finished with return code : 7000
Do I need to set up any environmental variables or any other setups before I can run the scenario from the command line?
Appreciate your help.

Idea Centre K410 boots to cmd prompt only

Hi, I'm trying to fix an IdeaCentre K410 with Windows 8 on it. The issue is when I power on the computer it does the following:
1. the "lenovo" logo comes up
2. the system beeps once as the logo disappears
3. the logo comes back after the beep
4. a circle of dots starts spinning under the logo
5. a blue (maybe bluish-green) box appears for a second or two (literally)
6. cmd.exe pops up
The command prompt starts out with X:\windows\system32>
The C: drive has been reformatted so windows is no longer installed on it. The X: drive (I'm guessing this is the recovery partition?) appears to be intact as the X: directory contains OneKey, Program Files, Program Files (x86), Users, Windows, and LRSBootTmp.log
I've moved into the OneKey\main directory and attempted to run LRSBoot.exe (assuming this is the Lenovo Recovery System) but it pops up an alert box with the title "Caution" and then says "First parameter format is not correct, as X:XX.vbs" I have absolutely no idea what that means. The only thing I can do at that point is click "OK" (the only option) or hit the red x; both of which take me back to command prompt.
I was also given the Lenovo Start Recovery Discs that came with the computer, but there is no option to boot from the cd/dvd drive. I've gone into the BIOS (the only other thing I can get into besides cmd prompt) and looked at the boot settings but the only options I get are Auto, UEFI Only, and Legacy Only. I've tried all three. I've also checked the "Secure Boot" status but it is disabled and I don't seem to even have the option to enable it (though everything I've read says to leave it disabled).
I've put the recovery disc and went through the various directories (in cmd prompt) trying several executables that looked like they might start the recovery program. I get told every time that, "The subsystem needed to support the image type is not present" or "This version of..." insert file/executable here "...is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information and then contact the software publisher."
I'm at a loss what to do. I've never encountered a BIOS that didn't have a boot from cd/dvd option. Nor have I ever had a computer that only loads up exclusively in cmd prompt. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok so I solved it after several hours... Remind me never to buy a Lenovo computer or quite possibly Windows 8.
For anyone else experiencing the same type of issue here is what I ended up doing.
I pulled the hard drive from the Lenovo computer and hooked it up to my personal desktop. I then ran diskpart.exe in the Run window (Windows key + R, or should be at the bottom of the start bar). I used diskpart to delete every partition (including the "hidden" ones on the Lenovo hard drive; this included four partitions labeled "Recovery," one labeled "OEM," one labled "ETFS" (or something like that, I should have written it down), and the C: partition. Once I had a completely unpartitioned unformated drive I used diskmanagement to format the drive using NTFS. Disk management is found by right-clicking the My Computer or Computer icon and clicking on Manage: this pops up Computer Management and Disk Management should be one of the options in the left-hand pane.
Once this was done I shut down my computer, unplugged the power cable, disconnected the hard drive and then put it back into the Lenovo computer. At this point I went into the BIOS settings on the Lenovo computer and reset them to factory default, with a slight change to the boot priority (I made the DVD drive the top priority, not sure if this was necessary or not). I then inserted the Lenovo recovery disc 1, and allowed the computer to boot. Since it could no longer find any remnant of the previous Windows 8 installation it quit trying to boot from the hard drive, and instead booted from the CD.
Then I just had to wait (about 2 hours) for the whole recovery process to complete and pay attention to when it asked for the next recovery disc--which I don't think it actually used discs 4 or 5 but I put them in anyways just to have it immediately tell me to move on to the next disc. Disc 6 did finish the process however so no complaints. Once the discs were complete it started unloading files in several cmd prompt windows and seemed to be stuck for most of the 2 hours at this point. However, a few of the cmd prompt windows are minimized and if you maximize them you will see it is working you just need patience.
After it was all said and done I created the profile and checked for windows updates about 20 times (an exaggeration but not by much) and voila it now works. Windows 8 is back on the computer and everything is running fine. And to top it off I didn't have to call and deal with the Lenovo support.
That said I'm not sure this is the best approach and if I had realized how screwed up the computer was I probably wouldn't have offered to fix it. I don't recommend this approach unless you really feel comfortable in what you are doing or have nothing to lose. Anyways thought I would share as in most cases there are several other people with the same problem.

Single instance cmd prompt for multiple wshshell.run

Hi,
I need to have only one command prompt open for two wshshell. run command
for eg
wshShell.Run "cmd.exe /C cd D:\"wshShell.Run "cmd.exe /C cd C:\"both the command should display in single command prompt window
Need to execute some 100 commands in a single cmd prompt like this

The CD commands were obviously just example commands
not the commands you really want to run. Even if these
commands were able to successfully change the current
directory in some other context than the command prompt
window, that context could only entertain one current
directory at any given time.
If you want to run a sequence of commands synchronously
(one after the other) in the command prompt window, you
could do as Forest suggested for a short sequence:
wshShell.Run "cmd.exe /c cd D:\ & dir & cd E:\ & dir"
or you could put the commands in a batch file:
wshShell.Run "cmd.exe /c mybatch.cmd"
or just:
wshShell.Run "mybatch.cmd"
You would, of course, need to ensure that the location
of the batch file was properly specified or deduceable.
If you want to run a sequence of commands asynchronously
(all at the same time), well, that is not how the command
prompt window itself works. You would need to launch
separate processes, each doing whatever task is assigned
it. If these are batch files, each will run in its own
command prompt window; if these are vsbcript files, you
could run them with wscript.
Or, if you were to switch to powershell, you could run
them as separate powershell jobs.

Send control to a specific activity

Is there a way to send control to a specific Activity instead of the next or back to the same activity or to a previous activity when a user presses a button "Back to Activity" on his UI
For e.g.
switch (result) {
case "BackToActivity":
action = BACK;
break;
default:
action = ABORT;
break;
Instead of action = BACK can we write action = "Update Status Activity"?
Edited by: user8766631 on Sep 16, 2009 3:25 PM

I agree with Nils.
You could accomplish something similar to this using the Grab activity. The Grab that has a "from all / to all" property set can send an instance from anywhere to anywhere in the process. I'd caution you to go lightly using this and only put a Grab in a supervisor's role. Moving work items can be risky and dangerous (haven't used that phrase in a while) in a production system if the end user doesn't know what they are doing. Don't give all end users the Grab capability or you will have chaos instead of a process.
You could let the end users keep the instance in the same activity (instead of always having the instance move to the next activity) a couple different ways. You can have the presentation have a "Save" button with the "save" action. This will save the user's changes, but keep the instance in the same activity. You can set the action predefined variable to "REPEAT" in a screenflow to keep the instance in the same activity.
Just my opinion, but try to push back on the requirement to send the instance to the previous activity unless there is a need to collaborate. If this is a collaboration design pattern, then use a conditional transition to go back.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Applet leaves cmd prompt hanging afr exit under 1.3.1_02, ok under 1.2.2

Subject: Applet leaves cmd prompt hanging afr exit under 1.3.1_02, ok under 1.2.2
I am working with examples from a Java book. My applets leaving the command promt hanging after closing them by clicking the X in the upper left corner. I am running Windows NT 4.0, svc pack 6.
After the applet is ended the command window hangs and won't respond to ctrl-c. If I attempt to close the command window a message box appears saying the command window is unable to respond to the end request (busy or waiting) and gives me the option to wait / end / cancel.
This has happened with all the applet examples I have tried and some Sun JAI examples.
Here is an example from a Java primer:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
<applet code="AppletLifecycle" width=300 height=50>
</applet>
public class AppletLifecycle extends Applet {
String str = "";
public void init() {
str += "init; ";
public void start() {
str += "start; ";
public void stop() {
str += "stop; ";
public void destroy() {
System.out.println("destroy");
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString(str, 10, 25);
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
<applet code="FirstApplet" width=400 height=400>
</applet>
public class FirstApplet extends Applet {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("This is my first applet!", 20, 200);
After compling, from the command line I enter:
C:> appletviewer AppletLifecycle.java (or AppletLifecycle.htm)
The applet comes up correctly.
If I close the applet by clicking the X in the upper right corner
- the applet window goes blank
- "destroy" appears in the command window
- the command session is hung and will not respond to a ctrl-c to end the application
I either have to use task manager to kill the command session or click on the X in the upper right corner of the command window. Task manger says the command session is "not responding". Either way I get the message that the application cannot respond to the end task request (may be busy, waiting for a response, etc.) and the option to wait / end / cancel.
Under Java 1.2.2 after closing the applet the command session is "waiting" ("hung") until a ctrl-c is typed. Then the DOS promt returns and the command session is free.
This behavior is consistent with several of the applets in this text book.
I first encountered this problem when working with examples in the JAI (java advanced imaging) package from Sun. These samples run as applications and display an image. They work correctly but hang when I attempt to close them. I have tried the examples only under 1.3.1_02.
Can anyone help me figure this out?
Thanks
Bill

The book says that the destory method is is called when an applet is closed.
If the applet does not have a destroy method then the default destoy method
the the Applet class is called. Is that wrong or am I not understanding.The book and your understanding is correct. It's just that my experience has indicated that overriding the destroy method is not a good idea. The applet's stop method is called (by the appletviewer or a web browser) when it's ready to close or move onto another document, so any cleanup that you need to do should be done in the stop method. As far as browsers go, IE destroy the applet when you move to another document but Netscape 4+ only call the destroy method when the browser window is closed but there is no guarantee that NN4 will ever call the destroy method. That's the reason why I don't recommend overriding the destroy method -- but as long as you know what is in store for you, you can do anything you want.
BTW, I've compiled and tested the AppletLifecycle.java program on my JDK1.3.1 and it works with the appletviewer, IE5.5 and NN4.7. I have no trouble stoping the program from the MS-DOS window with a CTRL-C or click the little x on the upper right corner of the display. I do know that when I upgraded to 1.3.1_02, all my applets mysteriously stopped working so I went back to 1.3.1 -- maybe that's the reason why you're left hanging.
