I have an MDI application. The forms have the following style.
form_load()...
ControlBox = False
MaximizeBox = False
MinimizeBox = False
FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None
WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
end sub
I have Form1 open, and if i open Form2 and close Form2, Form1 gets activated again, which is fine. But it gets resized to a smaller size and even th following code in form1_Activated doesnt resize it back to its original size.
private sub form1_Activated(....)
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
Me.Height = mszForm.Height
Me.Width = mszForm.Width
end sub
What is going on? thanks for any help.

Hi
If you add the app config file using the Add Component to Project that I mentioned previously, you can type values in as follows:-
<configuration>
<appsettings>
<add key="AppTitle" value="My Product Name">
<add key="TempDir" value="c:\windows\temp">
<add key="DbDir" value="c:\data\db">
Then you can use the following lines of code to retrieve the data:-
dim sAppTitle as string
sAppTitle = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("AppTitle")
Suggest you read help for a bit more information, thats about as much as I know. I do know this replaces .ini files that I used to use in VB6.
To answer your question more directly, it may be that you can include the access db as part of the project and not have to specify the drive, just the name. I don't know how to do this however. There are a number of ways of connecting as any book will tell you, but all of them need a path at some point. So your problem is purely about being able to access the current directory. Maybe one of the samples I have seen that comes with VB does this - not sure, sorry! If I find it, I'll post it here.
Regards
Phil

I am about to implement a vb.net database application and one of the main requirements is for the user to be able to add user-defined fields. It is an inventory control application where the user should be able to add their own fields to tables. For example a database table on cars would have standard fileds ID, Make Model, etc, but the user needs to have the ability to add their own fields to these records. Are there any other good approaches/patterns that you would recommend for this. Any good code examples out there for this type of problem?

I would create a set of separate tables and make a one-to-one join with the real tables. That way you don't alter the original tables. So the user tables have a primary key that matches their original counterpart and the user can add their columns to that table. This way, if they break anything, they don't break the original columns.

Make one table for the field information (name, et.c.), and one table for the data.
Example:
Fields<br />
-+ FieldId int<br />
-- UserId int<br />
-- FieldName varchar(30)<br />
<br />
FieldData<br />
-+ CarId int<br />
-+ FieldId int<br />
-- FieldData varchar(100)

b { font-weight: normal; }

Hi
I have a problem in visual basic 6. I want to stop
a sequence of program (Loop) using a button clik (Externally)
thanx in advance

You have to call DoEvents in the loop to handle the message queue, or the program won't respond to events.

b { font-weight: normal; }

If you state more specific questions you probably get more replies.
Anyway if you mean how to interrupt a loop from outside in VB6 this a way:
Declare a global variable like Alive as boolean
Your loop will be:
Alive=True
While Alive
(...)
DoEvents
End While
In your button event:
Alive=False
That's it.

When we call some build-in function of VB.NET,
it will have a box to tell us what the method done,
what the result returns.
How can I make my own function have that description of function?
Besides, How to make a function parameter optionally?
Thank you!

|

Your first question has been asked lots of times just search this forum for it.
The second one is well documented in the official help but basically:
friend function X (optional byval s as integer = 1) as integer

Hi Guys,
Can someone tell me how we can add tool tip text to a command button. This property was available in VB. When the cursor moves over a command button, some text would be displayed. Which is the property in VB.Net for a command buttonto set the same. Thnx.
With Best Regards,
Mayur

You can add a ToolTipProvider to your Form, then every control gets a property called ToolTipText or something.
