I'm struggling to figure this out.

I'm trying to make a trainer for a game, using VB, What I want to know is how do I attach my VB application to a process ?

Also this would be nice as well, how do I open a process if it's not open and keep it attached.

+rep will be given, This will help me a lot, thanks.

Thanks dude! +rep

Ah, so I'm getting errors there. o.O

Shared Sub Attach(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
Dim processes As EnvDTE.Processes = dte.Debugger.LocalProcesses
For Each proc As EnvDTE.Process In processes
If proc.Name.IndexOf("Target.exe") <> -1 Then
proc.Attach()
End If
Next

I'm getting a compile error on Shared.

It has no error handler. BTW, have you changed "Target.exe" in to the exe you are attaching it to? That might be the problem because it needs the designated process so it could be attached.
BTW, thanks for +rep Very Happy

I am not EXACTLY sure what you want, but here you go.

What you are trying to do doesn't require debugging or "attaching" to the process as a debugger. For simple trainer things, you just need a handle to the process which you can obtain using OpenProcess.

http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/kernel32/OpenProcess.html

Then with the handle you can call:
- WriteProcessMemory
- ReadProcessMemory

And so on to do basic trainer needs.

first you want to uninstall vb6

then you want:

then:
http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/kernel32/OpenProcess.html

finally:
http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/kernel32/WriteProcessMemory.html
http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/kernel32/ReadProcessMemory.html

none of that debugger stuff.

I want to uninstall vb ?, Why ?
I'm having a look at those links now.

Visual Basic 6 is outdated. I recommend using Pascal/Lazarus if not C/C++.

Dacnomania · Posted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 5:26 am Post subject:

Outdated, yet thousands of people still use it.
I am definitely going to study c++. But I'm doing vb for the mean time.

nobody uses vb6 except dopes and people who maintain legacy codebases for businesses and shit, there is no support for it anymore.

Dacnomania · Posted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 5:44 am Post subject:

Still, I'm using it, besides I've seen countless trainers made in vb.

Jesper · Posted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 5:58 am Post subject:

Why do you insist on using VB6? Just download the VB.NET Express Edition for free and use that.

or better yet use C# and revel in the nice, sleek syntax instead of nasty verbose VB barfness
