I am building a program using VB .NET 2003 that needs to find a specific window and then set focus to it.

I am not sure whether to use the findwindow or getwindow function and then how do I set focus to it after it is found?

No, it won't. You have also specified the MustInherit, which demands the developer instantiate a derived (inherited) class only. It will not permit you to instantiate this class.

Yes sorry. I had another error that permitted me to create the object. After correcting it the compiler has prompted with the error that I couldn't create the object as it was mustinherit declared.

Thanks,

A nice-looking side-tab-bar

Hi! I have seen some side-tab-bars, but I didn't find any beautiful. Do you know a place where there is side-tab-bars like the one in MSN, or the one in the "My Project" in Visual Studio 2005?

Greetings.. Winmedia Smile | :)

Those tab controls are either custom built, or they have a custom design (possibly done with Style Sheets). I couldn't find any articles on how to build ones similar, but it shouldn't be hard.

A nice "floating(?)" template/layout

Hi!

I would like to know, how to make a layout in VB.NET, which floats (i dont know if it's the right word for the NO BORDER style or splash style), and then make it moveable and size-able. Just like the msn-window, or the winamp window.

Is that possible? Do you have a tutorial or an article of how to make it, or a sourcecode? Smile | :)

Greetings .. Winmedia!

Try Using a table layout control with two columns and zero rows. Set it's dock property to fill so it takes up all the form space. In the left column, i'd add a split container and have it split vertical (if possible). That should get you started.

Exporting Form Data to a Flat File

I just recently built an online recruiting application and when the submit button is hit, the form data is sent to a flat file. It work fine but VS 2005 gives me a pop up message that says.

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\website.com\app.text

This file has been modified outside of the source editor. Do you want to reload it?

Yes Yes To All NO No to All

How do I stop this message box from popping up?

Thanks in advance

Johnathan,
The message box is popping up within 2005 because the file app.text is being modified outside of the ide (most likly by your application). Closing the tab "app.text" should solve your issue. The VS Ide is sometimes too smart for its own good.

My problem is that where can i find one that that is free without limitations...I have found this one cal vintasoftTwain... but i neet a registration key for it..because it is limited from all the stuff i need to get done. It cannot save the picture, can only scan it and it keep showing that i need to register it before using it..

Translating C++ code to VB.NET

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find a book or some other resource for translating C++ code to VB.NET?

Thanks,

There isn't one. C++ doesn't translate directly to VB.NET. You actually have to known both lanugages and have a pretty good understanging of what the C++ code you're trying to translate is doing.

Do you need a component to open a word document in a new window?

How easy is it to do?

I have a list of radio buttons, and when i select one and hit the button, i want the document to appear in a new window.

Any help would be great, thanks!

The answer you have gotton before is good but if you wanted to select a file and open that selected file..you could use this one also..

drag and drop a openfiledialog control to your form... and use the following code..

<big>If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then<br />
  System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)<br />
 End If</big>

using this method... opens any file that is selected in their own program...and also a new window..

Where are you struggling? What have you tried? How have you attempted to organize the data?

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
