Ok i decided to play around with VB I started an app but i would it to be able to compile maps, bitmaps, compile jms files, as well as set radiosity level with a slide bar. Any one know how i would go about in doing this. I tried but all i can get it to do is run tool. Do i need to declare something. Please help me.
what?
Uh, i have made programs. with c#,and j#, and other stuff. c++; But VB.Net. uh, you should really make this app in c# or c++. becuase there have more codes. Ask FireScythe he knows tons.Originally Posted by korori
Thats the thing i only know how to program in VB. I know its possible i just dont know how to go about it
What do you not know how to do? Open and save data to binary files? Processing the data into compiled formats? It would be easier just to make a GUI based application that sends commands to tool.exe, but thats something I don't know how to do in vb.
You can make batch files that sends commands to tool.exe.
This is what most people do for commands they need to redo all the time, but if you want to make an app that will enter the commands for you, like a visual interface, where you can put in specific values...
Code:AppActivate(Path.Text) Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("your command here")
This makes your tool window the active window, then sends commands to it.
Path.Text would be the name of the command prompt window when you're running tool. For me atleast, it's the path to the cmd.exe located in my CE root dir.

But that "code" you put on; you have to have the buttons/or the right keys on the form. or else it underlines it all and gives an error.
You could use the shell function...
shell ("[tool location]\tool.exe [options]")
Thats one way, if you were using c#, or c++ i would be able to help. :\
