Why??? It's such an outdated concept. You really shouldn't be doing it.

In properly written code, you just don't need them at all.

Labels, still an outdated concept, can be done like this (IIRC):

select field from table where time(field) between parameter1 and parameter2

try this out.

I'm guessing that the column storing the time is a datetime or smalldatetime. Also, as you didn't say, I'm assuming you are using SQL Server 2000. In this case you need to extract out the time portion from the date portion and filter on that.

Something like this might work:

SELECT * FROM MyTable
WHERE ((datepart(hours, timeColumn)*3600)+(datepart(minutes, timeColumn)*60)+datepart(seconds, timeColumn)) 
      NOT BETWEEN 25200 AND 36000

The calculation in the WHERE clause represents the timeColumn being converted to seconds since the start of the day.
"timeColumn" is the name of the column that contains the time information.
The numbers after the BETWEEN represent 7AM and 10AM in seconds since the start of the day.

Does this help?

Columnstyle drag'ndrop in WinForms app (VB.NET 2.0) ?

MrBean22-Jan-06 22:15

22-Jan-06 22:15

I'm currently developing a application where the end-user must be able to arrange "fields" in a "panel" via drag'n'drop much like columns are often re-arranged in grid header at runtime.

The "panel" must support arranging the order of the "fields" by the end-user and also support adding and removing "fields" from the "panel" from a "stock panel" which contains all available "field"-items.
I must be able to implement my own "Field"-item control so I can't just use a normal grid.

I'm currently looking into using the new FlowLayoutPanel control but it doesn't support drag'n'drop of items in runtime.

Any advice how to implement such a feature ?

I'm open towards commercial 3. party components but if this feature can be done for free, it would be best Smile | :)

Hello everyone,I'm new to VB.NET. I am having problem with migrating the following code from VB to VB.NET.I'm a new beginner on this VB.NET. This code doesn't run at all in VB.NET. Anyone can please give me a solution to change it to VB.NET?

VB Code:
Private Sub Spam()

Set con1 = New ADODB.Connection
con1.Open conStr1

Set rs1 = New ADODB.Recordset
Set rs1.ActiveConnection = con1
Set rs2 = New ADODB.Recordset
Set rs2.ActiveConnection = con1

sql1 = "SELECT TOP 20 * FROM TT_Member WHERE Reminder = '0' AND Status = '1'"
rs1.Open (sql1)

If rs1.EOF And rs1.BOF Then
Label1.Caption = "Finished - " & Now
Else
Do Until rs1.EOF
Label1.Caption = "Spamming - " & Now

OriginatingAddress = rs1.Fields("Mobile_No").Value
If Mid(OriginatingAddress, 1, 3) = "601" Then
Telco = 2
ElseIf Mid(OriginatingAddress, 1, 3) = "013" Then
Telco = 3
End If

Reminder_Msg = "You are charged $2."

MT_Msg = Reminder_Msg
MT_Msg = Replace(MT_Msg, "datedate", Renewal_Date3)

rs1.MoveNext
Loop
End If
End Sub

Hope someone can give me a solution here. Thank you so much~!

Hello there,I am sorry because I'm really a beginner. I think your code doesn't really help me because I need to select the data row by row inside the dataset. And used movenext function with loop together.I found that there is no more BOF and EOF function. Can you give me a better solution code? Any other example which is more similar to what I need can show me please?

Thank you ~!

I don't think it's possible in VB6 because it doesn't support reflection.
In VB.NET, this is not a problem.

I think an array of type Forms could be helpful (if I have got you correctly):

dim forms() as Form
....
redim preserve form ( ubound(forms) + 1 )
set forms ( ubound ( forms) ) = new form
...

hope it helps

Forms Collection is used for Loaded forms in memory

so

for each frm in forms
if frm.name="Form2" then
frm.show

To change Background color of MdI form

Do not set isMDIcontainer property of the MDI form to true. Add the following code.

Private Sub test_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim mdiClient1 As MdiClient = New System.Windows.Forms.MdiClient
mdiClient1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill
mdiClient1.Name = "mdiClient1"
mdiClient1.BackColor = Color.DarkCyan
Me.Controls.AddRange(New System.Windows.Forms.Control() {mdiClient1})
Me.IsMdiContainer = True
Dim frm As Form1 = New Form1
frm.MdiParent = Me
frm.Show()
End Sub

this should work for mdi form.

How to change the background color of a toolbar:
1.Place a panel on your form
2.Set the panel's docked property to Top (the default for a toolbar)
3.Set the panels backcolor to the color that you want the toolbar to be
4.Place a toolbar on the panel mentioned above

The Toolbar & its buttons inherit their backcolor from their parent control. Seems simple enough.

You could always 'subclass the toolbar and do the drawing yourself' but for a newbie to VB simple is best.
