Thanx Christian, i found an easier way though...FindString, this searches the listbox as the user types, as this changes, the listbox highlights the most relevant item, and because all my controls are databound to the same source, this then displays the correct information in the other fields i have.
Dim i As Integer = Me.lstLast.FindString(Me.txtSearchLast.Text)<br />
Me.lstLast.SelectedIndex = i

How do i reset 1st item for combolist VSFlexGrid to blank after load the data from database, eg:
If adoRset.RecordCount > 0 Then<br />
grdPeriods.ColComboList(grdPeriods.colIndex("VintageID")) = grdPeriods.BuildComboList(adoRset, "VintageCode", "VintageID")<br />
End If
Thanks

This script works great on the XP box I wrote it on but not on a Win 2000 box.
The script was found while Googling and I have added the rename sub and a few other changes to suite my required task.
I am reletivly new to dev and am not sure if the problem is win2k supporting the script or if the script needs changing.
The problem is at line 70 creating the tcp ip ports. if I take this out the script runs to completion telling me the printers are added but they are not.
I manually added the ports and re ran the script but no luck.
Please help...

Hi,
I need to round the minutes to the nearest queater of hour. For example if it is 00:07 (hour:minutes) then it would be 00:15, if 00:05 then it would be 00:00.
Any ideas how to go about doing this?
Many thanks for your time.
|
|
|
|

you can use an if elseif then statement to accomplish this task or even a select case. Are you pulling the time from the Now function and if so then you will need another var to hold the rounded time value.

Dim min As Integer = Now.Minute
Label2.Text = Now.ToShortTimeString

'move up
newtime = New DateTime(Now.Year, Now.Month, Now.Day, Now.Hour, 15, Now.Second)

Hi,
I have a VC++/MFC application.
I decided to move the UI to VB.NET to improve it.
I created a VB project with new interface and moved the C++ core into a MFC dll project.
When I run the application I got 'Stack owerflow' inside the MFC code.
For code details:
The C++ code does image processing using some recursive functionality, that is the point where the stack sucks up.
It happens when I passing over 4400 iterrations (the maximum is about 12000).
The recursive function looks like this
// Check for continous black areas
void CBitmapScan::CheckAround(CRect* pBound, int nX, int nY)
{
if(oMemDC.GetPixel(nX, nY) == RGB(0x00, 0x00, 0x00))
{
// Remove the pixel to avoid duble-check
oMemDC.SetPixel(nX, nY, RGB(0xff, 0xff, 0xff));
// Set new bounds
if(pBound->left > nX) pBound->left = nX;
if(pBound->right < nX) pBound->right = nX;
if(pBound->top > nY) pBound->top = nY;
if(pBound->bottom < nY) pBound->bottom = nY;
// Check up-down-left-right
CheckAround(pBound, nX + 1, nY);
CheckAround(pBound, nX - 1, nY);
CheckAround(pBound, nX, nY + 1);
CheckAround(pBound, nX, nY - 1);
}
}
Why this happening?!
Thanks in advance

I'm creating this asteroids-like game in vb for this vb class that I'm in and I need to be able to have multiple keys performing their functions at the same time. I am currently using the preview key down event for each of the keys but with that if you have one key pressed down and press another one it stops performing the operations of the first key. My professor said i needed something like asynchronous key detection but I couldn't find anything on it in the searches i did. Can anyone help me out?
|

You need to use DirectX for this. Direct Show is going to give you that sort of control over keys. The other option is to pinvoke GetAsyncKeyState or GetKeyState.

I feel like this should be an easy task, but I am having some issues.
I have a tab control, call it tabControl1, and 8 tabs, call them tabPage1 - 8. The length of the text on each tab is different. I want to create a 'justified' look and put the tabs in two rows (similar to MS Word tools>options).
I can adjust the padding, which changes the padding for all the tabs. But when I do this, the longer of the two rows appears to float.
If anyone could give me some guidance on this or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

I converted VB.NET 1.1 Windows application to 2.0.
It's MDI application with many MDI children.
Now I got strange error. When few diffrent MDI children opened at the same time, and then you close one child , the whole MDI parent form falls into infinite loop like trying to redraw other child. And there is no other way to stop it, but close application using Ctrl+Alt+Delete. The funny thing is it happen not with all children forms, but I cannot find the rule or reason why.
Can someone help?
Thank you in advance.

trying again
dim frm as childform
Click_event...
frm =new childform
frm.mdiparent=me
frm.show
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you for the response.
That was exactly what I was doing. And I found the cause of this error. Most of the child forms have Maximized state and that what makes error.It looks like form starts draw and redraw header of the form and maximize it in a endless loop. As soon as I set it to Normal, the error gone. Instead on a Load event i resized the child form to Client area of MDI form and also removed maximized button. It solved the problem, but it is not how I expected make it. I have about 60!!! child forms and I need to open each one and change setting.

Hi everybody,
I found some code to hook, low-level, the keyboard and the mouse.
After some changes to get it working with vb 2005, I get the following error:
"CallbackOnCollectedDelegate was detected ....."
This is some of the code:
Private Function LowLevelKeyboardProc( _
ByVal nCode As Integer, _
ByVal wParam As Integer, _
ByVal lParam As KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT) As Integer
If (nCode = HC_ACTION) Then
If wParam = WM_KEYDOWN Or _
wParam = WM_SYSKEYDOWN Or _
wParam = WM_KEYUP Or _
wParam = WM_SYSKEYUP Then
Return 1
End If
Return CallNextHookEx(hhkLowLevelKybd, _
nCode, wParam, lParam)
End If
End Function
Private Delegate Function LowLevelKeyboardProcDelegate( _
ByVal nCode As Integer, _
ByVal wParam As Integer, _
ByVal lParam As KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT) As Integer
Public Sub EnableKeyboard()
UnhookWindowsHookEx(hhkLowLevelKybd)
End Sub
Public Sub HookKeyboard()
Dim callback = New LowLevelKeyboardProcDelegate(AddressOf LowLevelKeyboardProc)
KeyboardHandle = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_KEYBOARD_LL, _
AddressOf LowLevelKeyboardProc, Marshal.GetHINSTANCE(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetModules()(0)).ToInt32, 0)
GC.KeepAlive(callback)
End Sub
Doe someone knows what is going wrong? 
Thanks,
Jurgen

Hi all
I am developing a VB application in which I have created a translucent form using SetLayeredWindowAttributes API. On sharing of this application using netmeeting or windows messenger the client system is unable to view the application properly. Kindly suggest.
Thanks in advance

There's nothing you can do. Layered Windows are not supported acrossed NetMeeting sessions. PrintScreen even has problems with it!

Is there any other way to make the form translucent which will be supported across Netmeeting sessions.

How to create a page in which there is a static panels that remains static even if the page moves.

If u want the panels to change and be related to the form...u may set the dock and anchor properties to the right selection.
and vise versa if u want the plane to be static and not changing its size even if the form's size had been changed, then u also go to the dock and anchor and set default selection for both of them

hello all,
am creating one application using vb.net 2005. my problem is in text boxes i have given tabindexes. but whenever i run that application and press the tab key it was not in index manner(goto first then second then some buttons and then third...) how to rectify this problem? my application contain 32 fields in one form.
and also some validation controls not working propherly. ie if first text box is blank in save button press it was shown the particular box is empty please fill but in other textboxes it was not shown error messages. how to wrote common validation for this purpose? please help me....
|
|
|
|
|
The tab order works, you need to check how you've set it.
We also need to see your code to understand why you're not using the validation controls properly, to get the result you want. The best way to do what you're saying is to have a validation summary control on the page.
