Almost at the final hurdle of version 1 of my project. What i'd like to have is two indicators based on red and green lights Check for net connection and show green if available, red if not When sending data to mysql DB show green light I'm not sure if its possible but so far I have established this for the mysql data send but the data sends so quickly it changes like lightning.

I'm using the following code to reorder rows, it does work but i can't find a way to implement any indicator that shows me where the row will be droped, is it possible to do? It seems that the handler DragDrop is blocked until the mouse is released..vb.net

After a long time searching, I am still facing an issue with my listview column header I am trying to add a sort indicator (a small 16x16 arrow, next to the column title - looks quite good).
- My listview is in Ownerdraw mode for : Items & Subitems for a couple of reasons
- So far, I was letting the system do the job for the header (e.drawdefault = true)
I managed to add very easily the arrow using the e.graphics class, right after the e.drawdefault=true, and it is actually working good.
print01.gif
(Sub ColumnHeader OwnerDraw)
e.DrawDefault = True
e.Graphics.DrawImage(My.Resources.fleche_v2_16x16, 34, 2, 16, 16)
As you can see, I'm simply using a resource, and am forcing it to 16x16 with a custom location x=34 pixels y=2pixels My issue comes with the following :
(Sub ColumnHeader OwnerDraw)
e.DrawDefault = True
e.Graphics.DrawImage(My.Resources.fleche_v2_16x16, (e.Bounds.X + 34), 2, 16, 16)
The arrow wont draw Of course the sort indicator will sometime be on the 2nd column etc.. That's why I need to use the column header's bounds.I can already hear you saying : if you do not owner draw, you can't..But why is it working with a static location (, 34, 2, 16, 16) ans not starting from another static location (e.bounds.x) How can I fix that ? I cant find previous issues similar to that one over the internet.
Points of interest :
- I tryed to load the int value e.bounds.x into a variable before, using that instead of e.bounds.x but it's all the same.
- Using the imagelist is not an option, As you can tell from the screenshot, I am already using images for headers.. the sort indicator is coming as another image
- Using ">" or "<" in the header's text is not an option either........ (sorry pal It does not look good at all..)
- Drawing the header totally in owner draw mode would be an option, but it looks quite hard to do (need to manage the "rounded" header style of the system, the mouse over - small yellow line rounded on the sides in WinXp, the click effect....).
I am writing a utility and using the ftpwebrequest. I am wanting to add a progress indicator to help the user know about how much time is left on the upload.
Code:
Private Sub UploadFTPFile()
Const filePath As String = "C:"
Const fileToUpload As String = "1.txt"
Const ftpServer As String = "ftp://xx.xx.xx.xx"

my final year project title is monitoring weight changes in digital scale / indicator.i bought one digital scale online from A&D in order to test out my system.however unlikely other device (GSM MODEM, RFID...) there are no drivers or libraries (DLL) from this device.. with only the digital scale and (rs232 9-pins to usb convertor i bought) i was like lost wondering how to get communicate with the device.i have been search around in the internet for similar post.. but there are most likely dealing with the data receiving already. is there any journals or manuals for references? i willing to study over this and not simply ask for full codings.
- how to communicate with the device (serial port communication)
- is there any driver / libraries need to install bfore everything?
OS using - windows 7 ultimate (laptop)model of device - A&D JM-SERIES 150lb

View 1 RepliesI'm using VB 2008 and windows vista. I'm using a listview in my application.(view=details) I assign an image list to listview.smallimagelist. when user try to sort the listview by clicking the column header i use the imageindex property to set an icon for that column header, this works fine. When user clicks another column to sort the listview by that, I use listview.columns(PreviousColumnIndex).imageindex=-1 to remove the sort order icon from the previously selected columnheader, but it does not remove the picture from the previous columnheader. How should I remove the icon(picture) from the previous column header?
View 7 RepliesI have a tab control (in my case a UltraTabControl from Infragistics) and I add a new tab.
The text of this new tab is set to "Escape &Characters".
lTab.Text = "Escape &Characters"
When visualizing the tab control the & will become an _ (underscore) for the next character - in this case "C"
I know that & is the Microsoft way of indicating a shortcut character - but is there any way of disabling this behaviour?
Does somebody know where i can get Microsoft's status indicator bar animated image that has a progress bar on it that when it reaches the maximum it goes the other way round.
You can find a small version of it in :c:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7VS2005ImageLibraryVS2005ImageLibraryanimationsstatus_anim.gif and it is called
"Indeterminate status indicator bar".

View 1 RepliesI have been given a project to update software written in Visual Basic. The software and some files are enclosed in a folder and was written 3 years ago. I have no clue what to do. All I have been asked to include more controls. The user interface allows user to select three processes by clicking on the buttons on user interface. The new requirements is to add two more buttons. There is not much information so I have to use only the resources available. When I tried to open the project, visual studio prompted to convert the project so its compatible with current version. I could open the project but dont know what to do from there. Please guide me towards the right direction. If the project folder is required please advise me how to attach it too.

View 1 RepliesI have this piece of code which I cant seem to get working properly. I am trying to create 2 programs (a client, and a server). This is working so far with establishing connection over LAN, but for some reason when I try to connect to my friend who's on another network, it doesnt work. I happen to believe this is because he has an internal IP which is 192.168.x.x and an external IP which is pretty much any number :P But erh... How can I make my program to first connect to the external and then continue to the internal IP? :s Since I cant really write his internal IP only, cause it'd think Im trying to connect to a computer on my network. And I cant write only his external IP either, since that would only connect to the router... And I don't see an option in the following code that allows me to write both an external and internal IP :s
Anyways, here's the code (Ive left out everything, I am pretty confident, that doesn't have anything to do with it ):

I am connecting to a data stream that pushes data continuously and when I tried to set up a network stream I just could not connect and kept getting the 'not found' error. I used the httpwebrequest with webrequest.keepalive = true and started to consume the data by reading into a buffer and then appending to a stringbuilder. Once the stringbuilder reaches max size I flush it to a text file. The problem is that I get disconnected from the data stream because I am not reading the data fast enough. I need to keep the connection open and read the data while ensuring data gets stored in text files. If I use method "CONNECT" it does not connect to the stream.
While (True)
webrequest = DirectCast(Net.WebRequest.Create(url), HttpWebRequest)
webrequest.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password)
webrequest.Method = "GET"
[code]....
should I increase the buffer size and if so what is the max? that would mean I can read more data at a time and keep up with incoming push. Disparate here.
ACtually also I noticed that it gets stuck on this line
numbytesread = responseStream.Read(bufferread, 0, BUFFER_SIZE)
and then eventually I get disconnected.

View 1 RepliesI understand the possibilities for encrypting a connection string in .net v4. I have a win forms application that will be used by multiple people on different machines. I understand that I need to protect the connection string at time of the app being first run on the target machine. However I am concerned that for a period of time my connection string will be unencrypted. I am looking for advice in how to deploy my app with the connection string already encrypted or encrypted during installation. encrypting the connection string in a secure way?
