Hey guys,

First post here so I apologize that it isn't helping, but asking for help. I'm working on a Memory Scanner in VB. It's almost instant with writing the values, very nice! The only thing is it will not allow me to change the LENGTH of values written.

Ex:
Lets say I want to change the name of this topic.

[Help] [VB.Net] Changing the value length


So by looking in my program it tells me that the length is 41. If I tried to change itto a shorter value, let's say:
Wow I wish I could solve this!


Then it would (and does) display:
Wow I wish I could solve this!alue length


If I change it to a longer value like:
This is a way longer value than the original value of my title

Then it would(and does) display:
This is a way longer value than the origi


=============================================

For whatever reason it won't allow me to change the length, even if I change it in WriteProcessMemory().

Calling it goes like this:
WriteProcessMemory(Process, address, Value, Length, NumberOfBytesWritten)

When I change the length shorter it changes the first couple letters.

Any ideas? Tried to make this easy to read, hard to explain and don't want to hand out code.

Thank you for your time,
Papa Beans

To make it shorter, make sure you're appending a null character (0x00) to the end of the string.

As far as longer, where is this string being displayed? Are you talking about it being cut off in the original program or in your memory scanner?
