Hi all, I'd like to develop a new app. with the look of the Visual studio UI, I mean something between windows form and html embedded...
Any link would be appreciate.
thank you in advance-

Everything depends on what your app is going to do. I haven't been able to find any link anywhere to teach you how to duplicate the look and feel of the VS Interface. You'll have to do it using the standard controls modified to give the look of VS UI controls. Probably, some will take just a couple of setting changes, and some you'll have to do extensive work on to get what you want.

Thanks for your comments, I heard something about a Microsoft webbrowser control; have you ever tested it within a windows form?
|
|
|
|
|
It's actually Internet Explorer. You can place it on the form and configure the control to not show menu bars, tool bars, address bar, basically turn anything on or off. Experiment with to see what I mean. But all you have to do is give it the URL you want to display or just the filename if it's a local page on disk.

Well, I would suggest buying a starter book on VB.NET (there's a Microsoft Press one called VB.NET Step by Step - I've got the C# one and it does cover the basics quite well). There might be tutorials on the net too, but I've found that to learn a new language, it's best to buy a book on the subject 
What these starter books will show you are the "building blocks" of the language - how programs break down into expressions and statements. VB.NET is fairly straight forward in this respect - the "building blocks" are easy to remember and aren't particularly complicated.
As you learn the language - try different things out. If you get really stuck, ask questions on the specific problem you have here - and if you can provide simple code that demonstrates the problem you have, and what you thought it should do, even better.
Once you've gained a familiarity with some of the language, try to write your own programs from scratch.
Do you have any prior programming experience?

I'm trying to expand the datagrid's functionality to meet my needs. But I'm also fairly new to .NET (I've done alot of ASP/VB/Perl/PHP/PB, etc programming, just not .NET)
Anyhow, what I'd like to be able to do is make my own control, using the datagrid as the foundation. Incorporating different column controls (namely drop downs), and some other standard features like sorting/filtering, etc.
My biggest concern, beyond how to use a combo box for a field, is how I can bind that combo box, to the proper lookup table for the id that should be stored in that field.
Meaning.
I fill my data grid with data from a query something like:
"SELECT FirstName, LastName, CityID FROM People"
How I can make the 3rd column a drop down combo box, bind it's source to be "SELECT CityId, Name FROM Cities" and have it show just the Cities.Name, but when I save the modifications to the grid, it stores the Cities.CityID in the People table.
Does that make sense?
While alot of that 'could' be done in code I'd like to have some form of design time editor for this extended datagrid control. A way to give the developer a simpler interface to allow all of this.
I'm sure it's possible, but I don't have a clue where to begin.
Thanks for the help,

I have just developed a VB application that will be using Outlook to send email to some other people as part of a process.
I have developed my application on a PC that has Outlook2000 which has 9.0 Object library installed with it. However, this application is required to run on different PCs that have different versions of Outlook. This means that it may not see some objects in the library depending on which version of Outlook is installed.
How can I overcome this problem in my code before it actually goes live?
Thanks for any help

VB6 or .NET?
What is your deployment method (PC install, server install, web, etc.)?
|
|
|
|
|
Built using VB6 and will be deployed through PC Install on users systems. Users are not on a network. They require the system to send returns to the main office.
|
|
|
|
|
If you use the "Package and Deployment Wizard" that comes with Visual Basic to build you setup program, the Microsoft Outlook 9.0 Object Library (MSOUTL9.OLB) should be included in the installation. Because Microsoft generally names each version of there libraries and dlls differently, you shouldn't have any trouble breaking any other application by installing MSOUTL9.OLB. Additionally, you can specify that the MSOUTL9.OLB file be installed in your application directory as opposed to the Windows System directory. Disclaimer...I have not tested this...so you should obviously test it first. Good luck.

Hi Friends,
i have written code in VB .net for sending mail using MAPI.
I am facing two problems.
1. The mail does go, but when i give an attachment, it gives the following exception.
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A7D02): Unspecified Failure has occurred
at MSMAPI.MAPIMessagesClass.Send(Object vDialog)
at ProcTryMail.tryMail.Pr_SendMail() in D:\Projects\Ems\Backup_Nov17OutSeq\ProcTryMail\tryMail.vb:line 30
MSDN says this occurs when multiple attachments are put.
2. when i finally send mail, i get an outlook warning saying:
A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No".
The code is given below.
Public Class tryMail
Private objMapiSession As MSMAPI.MAPISession
Private objMapiMsgs As MSMAPI.MAPIMessages
Private objDebug As EMSDebug.cDebug
Public Sub Pr_SendMail()
Try
objMapiSession = New MSMAPI.MAPISession()
objMapiMsgs = New MSMAPI.MAPIMessages()
objMapiSession.LogonUI = False
objMapiSession.SignOn()
objMapiMsgs.SessionID = objMapiSession.SessionID
objMapiMsgs.Compose()
objMapiMsgs.RecipDisplayName = "-- give a mail id here --"
objMapiMsgs.MsgSubject = "From .NET MAPI"
objMapiMsgs.AttachmentPathName = "-- give a filepath here --"
objMapiMsgs.Send(False)
objMapiSession.SignOff()
objMapiSession = Nothing
objMapiMsgs = Nothing
Catch
End Try
End Sub
End Class
thanks
Alex

The second problem is caused by a security setting in Outlook that Microsoft put in after the outbreak of viruses that emailed themselves to everyone in your Outlook address book. To turn it off, open Outlook (Express) and pick Options from the Tools menu, then click the Security tab, then uncheck "Warn me when applications try to send mail as me."
There is no method of getting around this programatically, for obvious reasons...

I am developing an ActiveX in VB6 control to be used in a html page. The control is downloaded and installed from the web (there is a codebase tag in html). The control then calls servlets, the servlet address is a parameter in html.
I wold like to avoid an url parameter in the object tag. Can the control in any way retrieve the url from the browsers session?

Hi Friends,
when i call a MSMAPI object from a standalone exe in VB .NET, i am able to send a mail. But when i spawn this exe as a process from a windows service, i get an error message while signing on using the MAPI session SignOn() method. I tried using windows service logon as both local system and using my NT logon too. The error message thrown is
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A7D1A): Not supported
at MSMAPI.MAPISessionClass.SignOn()
at ProcTryMail.tryMail.Pr_SendMail() in D:\Projects\Ems\Backup_Nov17OutSeq\ProcTryMail\tryMail.vb:line 20
My feeling was that some security access is required.
The code i have used is:
Public Class tryMail
Private objMapiSession As MSMAPI.MAPISession
Private objMapiMsgs As MSMAPI.MAPIMessages
Private i As Boolean
Public Sub Pr_SendMail()
Try
objMapiSession = New MSMAPI.MAPISession()
objMapiMsgs = New MSMAPI.MAPIMessages()
objMapiSession.SignOn()
objMapiMsgs.SessionID = objMapiSession.SessionID
objMapiMsgs.Compose()
objMapiMsgs.RecipDisplayName = "--give some mail id here--"
objMapiMsgs.MsgSubject = "From .NET MAPI"
objMapiMsgs.Send()
objMapiSession.SignOff()
Catch
End Try
End Sub
End class
Will be grateful if anyone of u is able to find out the problem.
Thanks
Alex

OK. When you run the project as a standalone .EXE, do you get a dialog box when you execute the SignOn method? You should, because that is the default behavior for the Session control. Problem is, as a service, there is no desktop, and therefor no user interface to display a dialog box.
You might want to try setting the LogonUI property of the control to FALSE and setting the UserName and Password properties before you call SignOn.

Thanx RageInTheMachine9532. Setting the LogonUI property to false solves the problem.

Hi folks, my problem is too dificult for me to parse. I need to translate this code snipet to VB.NET :
public RECT SetTVItemRECTHandle(IntPtr hItem,RECT RC){
RECT rc1=new RECT();
unsafe
{
*(IntPtr*)&rc1 = hItem;
}
return rc1;
}
The part that bugs me and got me lost is the '*(IntPtr*)&rc1 = hItem;' thing. For now I'm relying on a C# function in a DLL to accomplish the work but I'd like to know if it can be done in VB so that I can discard this extra dependency from my solution. For your information, this function is used to retrieve the rectangle for a list view column header for owner drawing.
Thanks
