Are you referring to context menus?
If so, simply drag a context menu from the toolbox into your designer window. When highlighted, it will appear as a menu at the top of your form where you can customize it and add menu items.
Assigning it to controls is easy. Simply select a control on your form, and change the Context Menu property to your newly created context object.
Hope this is what you mean?!

Ok, so I have created my ActiveX control (using VB6) and now have an .OCX file (with others from the compilation).
I know that when I register this .OCX file from inside my target application (MS Access), I can use the control I created.
How can I distribute this when I update my Access "application" on other PCs?
Do I need to do anything, OR is distributing my latest .MDB file (which includes my inclusion of my ActiveX control) good enough? The later I can try.
Reason: I want to eliminate the user's need to go through Tools | ActiveX Controls | Register | (browse for my .OCX file).
Thanks,
Johnny

I have a couple of different procedures that retrieve data from a single database. Both return a single value, either an Integer or DateTime. But the one that returns an integer accesses the data by connecting to the database and returning the data using .ExecuteScalar, while the other one builds a DataAdapter, a DataSet, and a DataTable, then references the DataTable to get the data.
my question is, is there any advantge to using DataSets over directly query-ing the database?
|
|
|
|
|
The difference here is not the dataset or not, it is the data adapter or the execute scalar method. Executescalar returns a single value and will always return a single value. The other query, if it always returns a single value would possibly benefit from using the executescalar method b/c it wont use all that memory overhead with datasets and adapters and such.
If you will need to return more than a single value then you have 2 choices really, the dataadapter allows you grab a dataset or fill a datatable - or you can use a datareader. Both return a set of data and have their benefits and problems.
So after a long windy explaination - you are querying the database no matter what, but one uses more objects to get the data.

I have a DataAdapter that joins 3 tables together. The DataAdapter fills a DataSet from these tables. How can I add a new row to the DataSet? I'm using the code below to do this but it errors out on the last line.
Dim newrow As DataRow
newrow = MyDataSet.Tables("MyDataTable").NewRow()
newrow.Item("column1") = 0
newrow.Item("column2") = 1
newrow.Item("column3") = 1
MyDataSet.Tables("MyDataTable").Rows.Add(newrow)
Thanks again in advance.

I cant see an obvious problem with this code, its very similar to something I use currently.
What exactly is the error?
|
|
|
|
|
Error message is:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Is the problem because I have more then one table in the DataAdapter? Adding a record to the DataSet is Ok, but the DataSet maps back to three tables. How does it know which of the three tables should end up with the new row?

hi guys!
I'm working on a project now, i need to shut down windows XP via vb6 code.
Can somebody please help me about this subject?

Run the remote windows shutdown application using the "shell" command. The path for the application is:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe

You can shutdown, and optionally restrat, the system by calling the Win32 API function ExitWindowsEx[^]
Declare Function ExitWindows Lib "user32" Alias "ExitWindowsEx" ( _

any ideas?
Thanks

Can't you set the .scrollbars = no in the form "Load" event?

Is this becoming a big problem? I got into it with a poster on another site for something similar. They wanted someone to code their project for them and they offered to pay. The only outcome here is that this person will graduate and not know anything and get a job by lying then be someone's inept co-worker.

I have an app i am working on that reads a .csv file to validate it.
here is the connection styring i am using to upload it:
Dim conn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & pather & ";Extended Properties=""text; HDR=No; FMT=Delimited; IMEX=1\"""
The problem i am having is that i do NOT want the first row to be counted as a header, I even have it specified in the string, but without fail, it always loads the first row as one.
It is driving me nuts, am i missing something?

Well, using your code and my test file, I don't have that problem. But, you might want to clean up your connection string a little bit the part with the IMEX value is malformed.
Dim connString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=C:\;" & _
"Extended Properties=""text;HDR=No;FMT=Delimited;IMEX=1"";"
Dim conn As New OleDbCommection(connString)
Dim comm As New OleDbCommand("Select * From TestData.csv", conn)
conn.Open()
Dim dr As OleDbDataReader = comm.ExecuteReader()
If dr.HasRows Then
Do While dr.Read()
Debug.WriteLine(String.Format("{0} - {1}", dr.GetValue(0).ToString(), dr.GetValue(1).ToString())
Loop
End If
conn.Close()
Are you doing something in your reading that is skipping the first row?

Not that i am aware of. here is how i am using it:
<br />
Private Sub btnUpload_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpload.Click<br />
<br />
Dim conn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & _<br />
Session("pather") & _<br />
";Extended Properties=""text;HDR=No;FMT=Delimited;IMEX=1"";"<br />
<br />
<br />
If f = ".csv" Then<br />
xl = "SELECT * FROM " & filer<br />
Fill(xl, conn)<br />
End If<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Private Sub Fill(ByVal xl As String, ByVal con As String)<br />
<br />
Dim com As New OleDbDataAdapter(xl, con)<br />
Dim ds As New DataSet<br />
<br />
com.Fill(ds)<br />
com.Dispose() <br />
<br />
Me.DataGrid2.DataSource = ds<br />
Me.DataGrid2.DataBind()<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
all i am doing at this point is grabbing the data in the .csv file and populating a dataset with it. No matter what i do, however, it keeps using that first row as a header, even with the cleaner connection string.

I tried it with this and found no problems:
Dim connString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=C:\;" & _
"Extended Properties=""text;HDR=No;FMT=Delimited;IMEX=1"";"
Dim conn As New OleDbCommection(connString)
Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter("Select * From TestData.csv", conn)
Dim ds As New DataSet
da.Fill(ds)
conn.Close()
conn.Dispose()
DataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)
The DataGridView control replaces the DataGrid in 2002/2003. Since it can only display a single table at a time, you must specify which table in the dataset to bind to.
What's in the first 10 rows of this .CSV file? Could the data in the file be misinterpreted by the ISAM driver?

the .csv files are pretty big, they have 39 columns with values ranging from decimals, to text, to ints and datetimes. I suppose that the driver may be having an issue with the sheer volume of information being selected.
The real pain in the butt is that if the users were being required to include the header field, none of this would be a problem.

I'll be damned if I can figure out what's causing it. I can get it to do everything perfectly, even tell it to use the first row as column headers, thereby duplicating your problem. I'd need a sample of the data to test it any further, only about the first 10 rows...
By any chance, have you installed the lastest MDAC[^]?

I can't for the life of me figure out why the hell it wasnt working. The syntax appeared correct....
Thanks for all of your help with this, i really appreciate it.
Want to hear the real kick in the cajones?
After 2 days of beating my head against the wall on this, I found out that i was trying to rewrite a function that had already been built and worked.... I was supposed to be tweaking the existing code, not writing a new page.
So, I ended up using code that had been previously written and worked.
At least we have along weekend to recover
