I have a little format issue that I would like to clean up.The form uses a label to display: triva/notable info:Next to that labe there is a text box that gets populate from a DB.What i would like to do is get it to somehow word wrap around Triva... The pic shows what it is currently doing but where the red line i would like it to start the text there on the 2nd line. Is there a nifty tool or trick to make this happen:
View 3 RepliesI'm building a program in which it asks for your name and age and determines a ticket price based upon these details. I want it to show the person's name, then their age, (jump down a line) then their ticket price, and then it jumps down a line to show the next person's name, age and ticket price. Issue is, when it's meant to jump down to show the next person, it just completely deletes the last person's details.I'm using this line of code:
TxtFareShow.Text = (Name & Age & vbCrLf & Price) & vbCrLf
How do I fix this?
I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then
EnglishForm.Show()
ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.

View 5 RepliesI am having a problem displaying a custom array list I have in my code. (BTW. It is 1am where I am.

The functionality of the application is not that difficult. The challenge is in the displaying of the forms. I have not started coding yet. When I run the application, the screen should be in the land scape format irrelevant of which computer or laptop you are using and how costly it is. The form should be displayed 90 degrees rotated in counter clock wise direction. How is that possible? Attached is the screen shot of what I want.
View 21 RepliesI would like to create a multicolumn list of items, similar to the right pane of the Windows Explorer window. There are rows, one for each item. And there are columns similar to the filename, size, date of last modification, etc. columns of Windows Explorer. The data supplied to the control will be individually extracted from files. (I mean, no database, no spreadsheet is available as a source.)
Question: Which control is the best for this purpose? I tried listbox, but it seems "multicolumn" means not what I'm used to in Excel VBA.
My application outputs log text every so often and I need the user to be able to see the latest text at all times. I've tried a label, a text box and a rich text box, but I can't figure out a way to show the bottom-most text at all times.

I have a listbox that is connected to a text file and this file is created when the program opens for the first time and then users can add data to the file as they wish. However what I am having a problem with is that how can I link the selected item in the listview to a textbox.
I.e.
Listview has 3 columns: Name, Surname and Location
Then when the line is selected i want the 3 individual variables to display in 3 seperate text boxes that has been set up.
on my application i have a username and password form that saves the username & password It's not meant to be secure, and it writes to a text file displaying as so

Newname2:password3
here is the code
Private Sub cmdPostAdd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdPostAdd.Click
'Add new username and password
[code]....
This all works fine, but i have no idea how to reload this information when the form loads.Obviously it needs to read the string, the seperate the username and password.also is it possible to password char the password section in the listview? at the moment it can be read.
