To align the text you have to set up a StringFormat object:
Dim sf As New StringFormat<br />
sf.Alignment = StringAlignment.Far<br />
sf.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center<br />
<br />
DrawString(Format(value,"0.00"),fnt, Brushes.Black,rectF,sf)
(I cant remember if the LineAlignment and Alignment properties are around the right way but a little trial and error will sort this out.)

To format a number as money use: YourDecimalOrFloatOrDoubleOrWhatEver.Tostring("F")
If you mean columns in a datagrid, you should explore the possibilities of the TableStyle.
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

You need to add an event handler for MosueDown to for your control, then test to see which mouse button is pressed. For example:-
Private Sub myControl_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles myControl.MouseDown<br />
If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then<br />
'Your code here<br />
End If

Colleagues,
Are there controls for VB6 that have the visual properties of a shape and line controls, and also have better mouse support, so that they can be made more interactive?
I’m writing an application that displays a process diagram. I’d like to add things like ToolTips and to make some elements on the diagram clickable.
I know that I can put a label on a shape and it would provide the mouse support that I need. It would work for square-ish shapes, but it doesn’t work well for circles.

This is more of a VB thing because I am planning to execute it inside of the SQL 2000 DTS package but I am testing it in VB.Net app. It has been a while since I've worked with XML and I got stumbled with a simple one here!!
I just need to read Detail/DT and Detail/Accounts XML in the loop - I don't think my XPath is correct.
Somehow data that I read is not pasted into Excel document. What am I doing wrong. Please help.
Many Thanks!!!

In the end someone here on the forum explained this method to me, that is slightly more clumsy to build at first, but will give you much more control over the output afterwards, is a lot less sensitive to (MS Excel) version problems, and can be easily adapted to work from any programming language:
First create an Excel file (in excel) that looks the way you want it to look. Next save this Excel file as xml. And last open this xml file with .NET Studio.
Finally (or alternatively) you can adapt the following function to your needs (the example is from one of my apps, so there is some stuff in there you may want to take out):
Public Function DatasetToExcel(ByVal ds As DataSet, ByVal ExcelPath As String)<br />
If File.Exists(ExcelPath) = True Then<br />
If MsgBox("Tiedosto on jo olemassa. Haluatko korvata sen?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo) = MsgBoxResult.Yes Then<br />
File.Delete(ExcelPath)<br />
Else<br />
ExcelPath = InputBox("Muuta nimi: ", "Tiedosto olemassa", ExcelPath)<br />
End If<br />
End If<br />
Dim doc As New StreamWriter(ExcelPath) 'use .xls even though its an xml file<br />
Try<br />
Dim startExcelXML As String = ""<br />
startExcelXML &= "<xml version="">"<br />
startExcelXML &= vbNewLine & "<workbook xmlns="" urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet="" hold=" /"> startExcelXML &= vbNewLine & Microsoft.VisualBasic.Chr(10) & "" + " xmlns:o=""urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"""<br />

I have many VS 2003 and 2005 (VB) projects being used within our organization. These applications are windows forms based and not web. The applications are click-once based and when I publish updates to the server, the clients can get updated automatically.
This all works great until a few months later. When installing the applications the screens warn that the application is not a trusted publisher, but I continue to install past this. The application seems to setup a temporary key/certificate that expires in a few months. When I make a change after the expiration date, I can obtain another temporary certificate from the certificate store for a few more months, but all my click once clients crash because the identity has changed.
My boss and his boss say they can buy a certificate for a specific server, but to me that doesn't make sense. Wouldn't you buy a certificate for the company and any application we create can use that certificate no matter where our client is executing the program.
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

It is possible for you to create your own internal certificate, dammed if I can find the link though, sorry. Note that you can set the key expiry to 2050
When starting a development step 1 is to include the key. As yours is already deployed you are giong to have to
create aand include the new key (set a long expiry date)
remove the existing key
uninstall ALL clients to get rid of the old version
deploy the new version
We had a lot of trouble changing keys on an existing app but persevered till the thing did as it was told - good luck

If you don't have the link, do you remember how you created the certificate. I'm trying to use the makecert.exe utility, but when I use the parameter to specify a store name to put the certificate in, I don't see it using Certmgr.exe or in Visual Studio. I used the syntax below to at least create a file on my system that I could find and try to pull into my application, but I'm having no success.
makecert.exe -n "CN=VBAppsCertificate" -e 01/01/2070 -b 01/29/2008 -pe testCert.cer
If you remember the process you took to create the certificate please let me know.
I appreciate your help. It really sounds like it is a solution to our problem. I'm just not understanding all the Makecert.exe parameters and once I create the certificate I can't seem to find it.
Thanks

This is from the dev in our group who did the work!
Method 2 : as requested by Mark 
1. Create your own certificate and pvKey. using Make Cert
run in .NET command prompt
makecert -n "CN=SomeName" -pe -b 01/01/2007 -e 12/31/2039 -sv c:\SomeName.pvk c:\SomeName.cer
2. Generate pfx:
run in .NET command prompt
pvk2pfx.exe -pvk c:\SomeName.pvk -pi password -spc c:\SomeName.cer -pfx c:\SomeName.pfx -po password -f
I tested this and applied it to a new window application. need to test this out on actual application and deployment...
The advantage of this is we can make use of a single cert for ALL our applications, but we have to do a uninstall for all the existing client and install the app with the new certificate.

I hopwe this helps!

im trying to use the system.thread.sleep function to display data in a gridview with a 3 second delay however results are not being displayed. It seems to be a problem with the system

Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet
ad.Fill(ds, "tblcustomers")
Dim dtab As DataTable = ds.Tables.Add(0)
Dim dtabclone As DataTable = dtab.Clone()
Dim drow As DataRow = dtab.Rows(0)
dtab.Clone.ImportRow(drow)
GridView1.DataSource = dtab.Clone
GridView1.DataBind()

No. It is a problem with your code.
You are adding the rows on the UI thread. You then tell the UI thread to sleep, so while the thread is asleep it cannot do anything.
Add the data on a separate thread that you put to sleep so the UI thread has a chance to update itself.

Hi All,
I have a table (tblEmp) from which I am exporting data to a excel sheet.The table contains 5 fields(empid,empname,age,address,accountno)
Issue:
Now I want that when ever I export the data from tblEmp table , the accountno field should come as **** in the excel sheet
Please let me know how can I do this by vb.net.
Thanks in advance.

AFIAK, there is no built in way to do that. You could do a for each on the string char array, and replace each char with an asterisk. Also, you could take a look at the getpass module. And there is always google, for such a simple problem.

Hi i'm looking for a way that can allow me to control the left button of the mouse .
for example : how to make the mouse to be pressed when i click on the button enter
Thank you
|
|
|
|

Your question is rather vague, so I'll do a little guess work: You have a windows application that does something when you click the left mouse button anywhere on the window or on a specific control. This application is run in an environment with a cat, which is not being fed enough. So on a regular basis you are forced to press the enter key on your keyboard instead of clicking the left mouse button.
Generally speaking the answer is quite simple: get rid of the cat. But seriously, put the code that you want to execute, when normally you press the left mouse button, in its own sub or function, and then instead of writing this same code directly under the mouse button click event, you only call the sub or function. Same thing with the KeyPress event, except that you may first have to check that the button pressed is actually the enter key (If e.KeyChar = Chr(13) Then). As a result you only have to write the code once, and you can make pretty much any event execute it.
If this isn't at all what you meant, then I suggest being more specific, otherwise I hope it helps.
