I myself haven't tried it, though I do know it is through command line arguments.

Tutorial about this a while ago: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=7320

You could put both TextBoxes' value in the same String, and then use it as an array in the other program

Code: Select all

shell("\path to file\continued\program.exe")
"what code here for textbox1 and textbox2 to paste for launcher then click start"

Using the code I posted, this is how it could be done:

First application:

Code: Select all

Process.Start("\path to file\continued\program.exe", username & ";" & password)

Second application:

Code: Select all

Dim msg As String = Command()
Dim commands() As String = msg.Split(";")
TextBox1.Text = commands(0)
TextBox2.Text = commands(1)

Note: the code for the second application could be placed in the Form_Load event.

oh ok i get error on username password it say like due to protection level something...

this is my code:

Code: Select all

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim msg As String = Command()
        Dim commands() As String = msg.Split(";")
        TextBox1.Text = commands(0)
        TextBox2.Text = commands(1)
        Shell("\ProgramData\KingsIsle Entertainment\Wizard101\Wizard101.exe", TextBox1.Text & ";" & TextBox2.Text)
    End Sub

If the program accepts command line arguments you could use those, otherwise you might need to set the text with other methods such as window messages.

Can i have a example maybe like if what you loading is a client like a game launcher i want to take like wow or lol or wizard101 and make it as you type user and password in text boxes to transfer to that window and launch game.

I'm not familiar with those games but the code would depend on how the windows are designed and what controls are being used.

There is an example here that can set the text of a notepad window: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=5727&p=43511#p43452

You can use EnumChildWindows to get a list of control handles from a window.
