VS 2005 - Creating New Application (Solution Explorer Window)
Mar 16, 2011I seem to have some finger trouble creating a new application, here is what I am trying to do: I am trying to create a new solution and under the solution an exe (console project and a set up / deployment project. I have done this in the past and cannot see to do that any more.
Steps:
1. Create a new solution, the solution show in the solution explorer (with 0 projects)
2. Using "add" I create a console application (under the solution) and it shows a module etc. So far fine.
3. At this point the solution explorer windows only shows the console project and the solution itself (that used to show on the top) is gone. Now I am not able to add another project to my solution. I close my screen and then try to open the solution again. It comes up with the console project.
MDI Application MDI Child Forms Close() Error Creating Window Handle?
Jul 14, 2012I'm in the process of converting a VB6.0 application to VB.Net (2008 Express). I have a MDI parent form, I'll call mdiBackground, and 4 MDI child forms, frmStatus, frmShow, frmQwerty, and frmSentence.The layout is as follows:mdibackground - has the menus at top and is a container for the child forms.frmSentence - appears at the top frmShow & frmQwerty - appear at the left and when one is closed the other one is in the same position.frmStatus - appears at the right, it has buttons which control when frmShow and frmQwerty are to appear I have a couple of regular forms that act as dialog forms. The Me.Close() works fine on these.

VS 2008 Creating An Over-Lay Window
Dec 17, 2011I was wondering if it is possible in VB8 to create a GUI that over-lays over a full-screen application (IE, a movie full screen, games or something that takes over the entire screen)
What I want to know is it possible to be watching a movie and click a button and without minimizing or losing focus on the movie a GUI is displayed. This could be handy in many ways to me to create say.. a clock that I can display so I don't have to minimize etc. to check.
I don't want to interact with the GUI, just display it!

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 - Alternative To The MdiWindowListItem For Window Navigation In An MDI Application
Aug 9, 2010I've made an alternative to the MdiWindowListItem for window navigation in an MDI application. It consists of each window being added as a toolstripbutton to a toolbar, similarly to the Windows taskbar. I don't use any of the mechanics I should probably use, such as for loops catching each child window etc etc. Instead I look at window titles and do a lot of string manipulation and using counters etc.
I'd like to get rid of my method and use something a little more technical. I'd like to have the same effect, but to be able to add toolbar buttons relative to the MDI children as opposed to looking at window titles and such, because I've also got a plugin system that allows users to create their own windows and add them as mdi children. But, if a plugin is added, it doesn't get added to my toolbar taskbar thing because the titles are all user defined and I cannot control them.
So, basically, I want something exactly like the menubar's MdiWindowListItem feature, but using my toolbar idea. I want all MDI children to show up in it, including the 3rd party windows.

VS 2008 Window Form Application - How To Send Data Over Internet
Jun 2, 2011I got a window form, and I want to send data to another computer or a server over internet after the submit button is clicked. Yes, this is a very "general" question (I cant not ask it in more detail), because I don't have any information how to do that, I google it, and I heard WCF, but I am not sure how it actually can do this job (seem like WCF is related, but still researching).

VS 2008 Creating A 'Visio' Like Drawing Application - Zoom
May 27, 2009I have started a little project for myself to become a little more accustomed to drawing in VB.NET. I decided to make an application that looks a little bit like Microsoft Visio.
Until now, I have been able to create an image 'layer' on a blank PictureBox by clicking somewhere in the PictureBox. When I click on such an image layer, it is selected (and a blue rectangle, and its text are drawn). I can also drag the selected image layer.
The code for this is as follows:
The ImageLayer class:
vb.net
Public Class ImageLayer
#Region " Properties "
[Code]....
how to do all this; I'm starting to fear this project is going to be a little much for me...
So, do I really have to do everything manually? So the images locations, their size etc should all depend on the zoom level? Or is there something 'premade' I can use?

Error Creating Window Handle In A Thread?
Sep 14, 2011I've a little program that has got tabControl with 2 tabs - "results" and "log". My idea was that when an error occurs the tab will switch automatically on tbLog to show what the problem was. Most arguably the problem is in threading. This is the code that..I use:
Dim thread As New Thread(AddressOf ExecuteQuery)
thread.Start()
ExecuteQuery executes the query and I'm making an error deliberately to see if I'll be automatically switched to the log tab which is in Try-EndTry procedure:
tbGrid.SelectedTab = tbGrid.TabPages(1)
The program indeed switches to tabLog (which is number 1) but I don't see any controls on it (txtLog), then when I'm trying to switch tabs a couple of times I get "Error creating window handle in a thread". I read other forum threads about it where people as how many controls do they have in their programs but my program does not exceed 70 controls on a form.

View 5 RepliesError Creating Window Handle - Datagridview
Sep 3, 2009I am using a Thread object to perform a function. This function performs a task and displays its progress in the gridview (like adding rows changing text etc )
The reason I am using a thread for this function is that there is a cancel button on the form. While the task is in progress, user can click on cancel to abort it.
Private Sub BtnStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnStart.Click m_Thread = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf myfunction) m_Thread.Start() End Sub
The function works fine and thread is completed. But calling any method of datagridview after thread is completed ( outside the worker thread ) generates an error- "Error creating window handle".
That's probably because i am not using the invoke method of datagridview for calling its methods or readingwriting properties Do i have to create separate delegates for all the methods properties used in the function ( worker thread)
Creating A Parent-Child Window Form In VB 2010?
Aug 4, 2011I am trying to create a simple parent-child form in VB2010. I use a datagridview for each table/datasource and each is bound to the paretn/child table and each table grid fills correctly. What I want is the parent-child relation to enforce filling the child table with only rows that fulfill the current row on the parent. I have created a DataRelation in the form load, but it will not permit a relation between tables in 2 different datasets. If I attempt to place both tables in a single dataset and define the PK-FK relation in the SQL Serve,r I cannot create 2 separate datagrids from the same dataset.

When I run the target application of this shortcut using process.start and these arguments, it runs fine. Is this simply a limitation of the "Target" textbox? Is it simply not displaying all the arguments, or is it functionally limited in this way?EDIT: I have determined that it is simply not displaying the full string, but seems to work correctly. I would still like to fix this somehow, but if not, not a big deal.There are 259 characters in the textbox, including spaces. Doesn't seem like a significant number to me.Here is the code, but it doesn't really matter, it is working fine:
