You would have to create a registry value in the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run key. See here for more information.

Or you can copy/move your program to the startup folder and it will start up as soon as you logon.
To access this folder you press start>> then
Programs>>Then startup>> then right click select open or explore.

With the registry keys you can use:
Local machine(Which starts the program for all users)
hklm/software/microsft/windows/run
Current user(Which starts the program for only the currently logged on user)
hkcu/software/microsoft/windows/run

Hope this helps!

I can see that I can use this to create a new tab page
But how can I make the Tab Page public?

TabControl1.Controls.Add(New TabPage("New Tab")))

Thanks

You would do it like this:

Declare the TabPage: Public ATab As New TabPage.
Then create the new tab: Me.TabControl1.Controls.Add(ATab).

Hope this helps.

You can't.

Objects aren't private or public, as you can never access an object directly. You only access objects using references.

You can declare a public variable that is a reference to a Tab Page, and assign it the Tab Page that you create.

WMP functions

Hi All,

I want WMP to set my timers off, everytime the 'play' button is clicked. However I cannot seem to find what the name of the intergrated 'play' function is.

for e.g.

Private Sub AxWindowsMediaPlayer1_Enter(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.Enter

If numberofcalls = 0 Then
Timer1.Enabled = True
End If

If numberofcalls = 1 Then
Timer2.Enabled = True
......etc

In this code timer1 is enabled when play is pressed right at the beggining, but when play is pressed again, timer2 doesnt seem to work (be enabled).

Thanks in advance

WMP has an event for the change of status, this can tell you when you're playing.

how do I use this event to verify that the wmp is playing?

Because 'playing' is one of the states that gets reported to the callback.

How to run Windows Explorer from an application

I have been struggling to find information on how to achieve the following.

My small app creates a folder on the file system. I then want to run an instance of Windows Explorer and show the folder. I want to do this in a way so that Explorer will keep running even after my app is terminated.

I assume this is achievable and apologise if it is trivial.

Cheers
Tim

Nothing is trivial, until you know how to do it Smile | :)

Process.Start("c:\") should, I believe, open explorer at the c drive.

I think it's in System.Threading.

Thanks very much Christian. You are spot on.

i am using VB.net for the first time on a data project. I have used the built in functions to put data in a DataGrid. Now what I need to know how to do is when user types in a text box use that to narrow results.

Any examples or help is appreciated.

How do you mean 'select the value'. You want to search for a value ?

You want to update and delete what ? The grid, or the data source ?

http://www.codeproject.com/cs/database/gridex.asp[^] looks helpful. You could either use the control, or look through the code to see how it works.

Depending on your datasource, you may be able to run SQL on the source, or you can iterate over the Rows collection to find the values you need.

hi thanx for the link...i had a look it seems to be done in C. I have done it in vb code. i used the wizard to create the forms. Using a untyped dataset i think. all the search code ive found is for typed datasets i think...

Me.objdsDiary.Clear()
Me.OleDbDataAdapter1.SelectCommand.CommandText = "Select * from 0830 where AppointmentDate like '%" & Trim(Me.lbl2.Text) & "%'"
Me.OleDbDataAdapter1.Fill(Me.objdsDiary)

or

Adodc1.RecordSource = "Select * from secretary where club = """ & txtSearch.Text & """"
Adodc1.Refresh

or

Private Sub Command1_Click()
With Adodc1
.Recordset.Find "Au_Id=" & CInt(txtAuthorId.Text)
End With
End Sub

which do not work as i dont have adodc, all i have is CottageBookingSystemDataSet, TblEmployeeBindingSource, TblEmployeeTableAdapter, TblEmployeeBindingNavigator.

Ive been looking on so many forums.

TblCustomerBindingSource.Filter = "txtFirstName LIKE '%" & TextBox1.Text & "%'"

You don't know how SQL works ? It's pretty simple, and there are tons of examples on the web. At it's most basic level, select * from [tablename] will return all the data in a table, and select 8 from [tablename] where [column] = [value] ( with single quotes around strings ) will select a particular value.
