Closing Instance Of Bartender

Hello again,

I've got BarTender automating along nicely.......but have just discovered a problem when it comes to closing the instance of bartender.

My previous post http://forums.seagullscientific.com/index.php?/topic/2222-automating-label-printing-from-access-db-random-printers/

Shows how i get to the stage of printing out the labels i require, it's just that in the task manager, the number of bartender.exe instances keep adding up and up and up each time i use my access database to print a label.

I'm using bt.quit after each label is printed, but the bartender.exe instance is still in the task manager, and on our XP machines, this is causing them to slow down and grind to a halt.

Is there something i'm missing?

Regards

Ryan

when youve finished printing your labels make sure you are stopping the BT engine, so assuming your engine object is labelled as "engine" the following may help you out

If engine.IsAlive Then

engine.Stop(SaveOptions.DoNotSaveChanges)

End If

Hello,

thanks for your reply, but i'm not sure i understand the engine part. The process that runs and won't stop is bartender.exe

My code to initialize is

Dim btApp As BarTender.Application

Set btApp = CreateObject("BarTender.Application")

Is this what you need to help out?

Please also note that Print Station also uses a bartender.exe process so killing all instances wouldn't be a feasible solution as we need Print Station open and running too

ah right, apologies ive used vb.net in 3.5 framework for my solutions. the only thing i could think is to look for a quit or close command against the object you are creating maybe? and see where that ends up. other than that I cannot really offer any more assistance sorry.

one thing are you using the SDK because i could provide you with the function we use in .NET to manage to instance closure after printing of labels?

Cheers,

No i'm not i'm afraid, I dont completely understand it and we have a number of different Windows OS kicking about so it's a biut of a mission getting everything to work on each machine.

If you have an easier guide then the white paper i'd be interested in that?

Like I said this is .NET based integration of the BT10 SR4 SDK but I hope it is of some use to you in finding a workable result.

it might be worth taking another look at the SDK with the code below as it does handle the disposal of the BT instance when youve finished printing.

'Bartender10.0'get a new bartender engine instantiated
engine = New Engine(True)'check format has been cleared and clear if still in use.
If format IsNot Nothing Thenformat.Close(SaveOptions.DoNotSaveChanges)
End If'load the label into memory.
format = engine.Documents.Open(Label.LabelDirectory & Label.LabelFormat)' Get the printer and assign it to the format.
format.PrintSetup.PrinterName = PrinterNameDim waitForCompletionTimeout As Integer = 10000 ' 10 seconds
Dim oleDB As New Seagull.BarTender.Print.Database.OLEDB(Label.Database)
oleDB.UserID = Label.DBUsername
oleDB.SetPassword(Label.DBPassword)If format.DatabaseConnections.Count > 0 Thenformat.DatabaseConnections.SetDatabaseConnection(oleDB)
End If' Retrieve the QueryPrompts object.
Dim queryprompts As Database.QueryPrompts = format.DatabaseConnections.QueryPrompts' set the name queryprompt to the order number value.
queryprompts("ID").Value = BoxToPrint.ToStringDim messages As Messages = Nothing
format.Print(strApp, waitForCompletionTimeout, messages)Dim messageString As String = Constants.vbLf + Constants.vbLf & "Messages:"For Each message As Seagull.BarTender.Print.Message In messagesmessageString &= Constants.vbLf + Constants.vbLf + message.Text
Next messageIf engine.IsAlive Thenengine.Stop(SaveOptions.DoNotSaveChanges)
End If

Cheers,

Scott

Hey Ryan,

New to this forum, however I've conjured up this little beauty in VBScript:

strComputer = "."
strProcessToKill = "bartend.exe" SET objWMIService = GETOBJECT("winmgmts:" _& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _ & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") SET colProcess = objWMIService.ExecQuery _("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = '" & strProcessToKill & "'")count = 0
FOR EACH objProcess in colProcessobjProcess.Terminate()count = count + 1
NEXT

Hello,

Sorry for the delay, i've been off work for a couple of days

Thanks for your reply, where would this script go? Also, would this kill all instances of BarTender as we also use PrintStation on the same machines so i'm concerned this would have an effect on that too?

Regards

Ryan

Hello.

I'm aware this post is old, but for future reference...

After you do:
```
btFormat.Close(BarTender.BtSaveOptions.btDoNotSaveChanges)
btApp.Quit()
```
Add line:
```
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(btApp)
```
And that will chase down any leftover bartend.exe processes.
