hi..,
i am trying to give you 2 suggestion.
1. Try to retrive the unqui date from data base. when you are retriving data from dbase base
user "distinct" keyword in query
Ex: select distinct mydate from mytable.
or
2. use the below logic.
dim innlop,temploop
dim dupflad as boolen=false
combobox1.items.clear
For innlop = 0 To ftp_ds_NT.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
dupflad =false
for temploop=0 to combobox1.items.count -1
if ftp_ds_NT.Tables(0).Rows(innlop)(0) )=combobox1.item(temploop)
dupflag=true
end if
next temploop
if dupflag=false then
combobox1.items.add(ftp_ds_NT.Tables(0).Rows(innlop)(0) ))
end if
Next innlop
********* Please Ignore the syntex errors **************
thanks

A nested loop is always expensive, and for loops are always nastier to read than for each, but in this case, just combobox1.Items.Contains would work. You could also replace the dupflag variable with a simple continue statement.

Hi! I've converted a vb6 project to vb.net project, I'm using crescent (IIIrd party control)combo box in this project. The problem is sometimes combo boxes do not display data but actually data is there as seen from Immediate window and by displaying through message box. But sometimes combo boxes do not display the data. I'm not sure what the problem could be? I would like to add that same code in vb6 is running perfectly fine. Have any of you come across such a problem. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

This would be a question for the manufacturer of the control library, Sax.net[^]. You may also want to find out if they have an updated control library for .NET Framework applications.

I try to call txtrefno_KeyPress(txtRefNo, e) from form_load event but it throws exception saying "Unable to cast object of type 'System.EventArgs' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs'."
How do I overcome this problem ?
' Code which throw an exception:
Private Sub frmNewReceipt_Entry_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
txtrefno_KeyPress(txtRefNo, e) ' this point it throw an exception
End Sub
Private Sub txtrefno_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtRefNo.KeyPress
'' code
End sub

Try here[^]. I've give you a clue, did you read the error ? Did you look at the definition of the two methods ?
What's the point of calling an event handler for a key press, if you don't specify what key was pressed ?

hi...,
Very simple.
Your passing wrong arugument to keypresee method.
u have to pass the System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs argument instad of System.EventArgs
use this below code and slove your problem.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim temp As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs
Call TextBox1_KeyPress(sender, temp)
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
MsgBox("Rajesh B --> A Poor Workman Blames His Tools <--")
End Sub

The big question is, what on earth would you do this for ?

I mean, your answer is right, I just don't get what this could achieve. The point of the keypress event is surely to respond to the key that was pressed. Why does hte OP want to call it, without specifying a key that was pressed ?

Dear Christian Graus,
i am sorry .., may be i am going wrong.
The Q. is asked by kalikarr, he wants to call the keypress event in the form load. So before not loading the form he wants to call the event. I think no superman can't enter a value before loading the form. So that i passing a dummy value to that method to fire. however i think that(temp) will also have the value of '0x00'.
replay me.
Thanks.

You have totally misunderstood me.
Your answer is fine. I am saying, I don't get what the original poster hopes to achieve with code like this, as the code in a key press event generally checks what key was pressed, in which case it would do nothing, or if he has an action he performs on any key being pressed and wants to perform that same action at startup, he should factor it out into a method. I am saying the person who asked the question has design issues, not criticising your reply.

you can find these shortcuts by going to menu Tools->Options->Environment->KeyBoard, there you will find an edit box having label "Show commands Containing:", there you should type "View.N"(without quotes) then you will find the shortcuts of Navigate Forward and Navigate Backward.
In short you can find shortcut of any menu or you can even customize that.

I am currently writing an application that launches and manipulates other programs. I currently launch another application through the use of the process class, and since I need to manage many other applications, I just store the MainWindowHandle value into an array, and dispose the process object that I had created.
The problem that I am having is, when it comes time to manipulate the application, I do not know whether the application is still running or not(has the user closed it?). Is there a Windows API that returns values based on a window handle? Is there any alternative to using an API to accomplish this?
Would I be better off creating an array of processes, eg Dim myArray() as Process ?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

You could store the actual process object in an array or you can use the Process.GetProcessByName[^] method to find the process again. You would want to store the process name (the name of the executable) rather than the handle.

Thanks for the advice. Storing the process in a process array makes things a lot easier.
Thanks,
Mitch

You're welcome. The one thing to keep in mind when doing that is going to be how long you must keep those references and how many of them you will be keeping. Holding a bunch of Process objects in memory in an array will consume a lot more memory than just holding a string value of the process name. If you won't need access to the Process information for a while (or are passing the array around as a function parameter) you really should think about just keeping the process name and only creating a Process object as needed.

You are correct. When I changed out my process array for just a regular array, I had saved quite a bit of memory. I am also able to get the process by using the GetProcessById method. However, once I call theProcess.HasExited method, I get a "Win32 Exception: Access is Denied".
[Edit]
With a little more digging around in my code, it seems that my error is being caused earlier in my code.
Dim newApp As Process = New Process
newApp.StartInfo.FileName = appSelPath
newApp.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal
newApp.Start()
However, when I call newApp.MainWindowHandle to store the value in the array (I need to use this for Windows API's), it returns 0.
Thanks for your time,
Mitch

That is probably a better solution since you are the one starting the processes you will have access to the process Ids.
There are situations where Process.HasExited will throw a Win32Exception so you will still want to trap for that error and handle it appropriately. This mostly occurs when the exit status can't be returned for some reason.
As for MainWindowHandle returning 0, this is also a legal value. A process has a main window associated with it only if it has a graphical interface; otherwise MainWindowHandle will be 0. Take a look at WaitForInputHandle[^] to allow the process to finish startng.
Scott.

Thanks a lot for all of your help, it is greatly appreciated.
Although, it seems that WaitForInputIdle does not want to work correctly for me.
This is the code that I am now using:
Dim newApp As Process = New Process
newApp.StartInfo.FileName = appSelPath
newApp.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal
newApp.Start()
newApp.WaitForInputIdle()
MsgBox(newApp.MainWindowHandle.ToString)
Even when I call WaitForInputIdle(), it does not stall my application and I immediately get 0 as the main window handle... It works with notepad.exe, but when I launch iexplorer.exe (internet explorer), I still get 0...
Thanks,
Mitch

You're welcome. Glad to help out.
It seems that WaitForInputIdle() applies only to process with a UI but there may also be other conditions which cause it to return false. You might want to consider uisng the WaitForInputIdle(Int32) overload since the version you are calling has the potential to wait forever. Also, if for some reason the process doesn't have a message loop, both overloads will immediately return false, so you might want to test the return value as well.

Hello,
I am running an experiment which I call VB four different functions I wrote to measure transitor characteristics. I want to display on the form which measurement I am doing. I went about doing this by creating a textbox on the form and then assigning the name of the measurement to the textbox value right before each of the four measurements was done.
The problem is that only the name of the last measurement is displayed after all four measurements are done.
I think it might be because VB is single thread.
Is there some function I can use to update the form?
Thanks,
Orlando
