.net - Correct Form Of RTS / CTS Flow Control With FTDI's D2XX Interface
May 31, 2011
I was going through the example code on FTDI's website. After opening the device and setting the flow control to be RTS/CTS they send and receive data in the following manner:
[Code]....
Basically they set the RTS, DTR, then write data to the device. Is this correct? If I was sending multiple times to the device, do I need to clear the RTS each time? and then set it high again? or do I just set it high each time I send new data? Why are they setting DTR if the flow control is defined as RTS/CTS? As far as best practices go, is this the best way to read and write?

I am wondering how to have more than one SQL select statement inside my window formapplication that will control the data flow, as i am a newbie in visual basic.net 2005. This is because I am working on a Alarm Application Notifier which will alert the guard on duty as well as inform him the alarm location. The guard's computer screen will be showing the premises and the button will blink at that location where the alarm is. So if the alarm is at block A for example, the guard screen will show block A button blinking.I have already done the first part but i am STUCK at the rest as to how am i going to seperate the conditions for the 3rd to 4th building .The bottom is for the first building code. The data is from the sql database.

I would like to make an application where there is no form, only controls, this way theuser can see what they are doing on top of their work. How could I for instance put a textbox on the screen, just like form1, but without it being a parent of form1, almost as if it was form1. Basically form1 is hidden.

I've got an app that I want to have an MDI with. It functions fine, but there needs to be a control panel off to the side of it to drive the child documents' creation. I have two problems with this.
First, if I add the control panel to the side of the form, it just overlays the MDI portion of the form and the children will spawn behind it. I can more or less manage the positions of these children, but the problem comes when I want to minimize the children, they minimize behind the control panel and I don't know how to move them. So I need to shrink the area they can move around in. I've read in places that you can use the splitter object, but that never seems to cooperate with me and only wants to move to the extreme left or right of the parent form. How can I reduce the area the children get to interact with? I've tried creating a MDI Panel, but VS has a fit with that.
Second, I've got a datagridview holding the data that will spawn the child forms. This is working well, but even though I've set the rows to be not resizeable, I can still make them grow or shrink during run-time (not programmatically). How do I stop this?

Using VB 2008. We have an app with a third party grid on it works well enough. This is a small utility within a bigger suite, and adding/updating it involves a simple EXE copy. The issue I am trying to address is that not all customers will have the 3rd party controls on their systems, and we want to avoid deploying them if we can.
Can I build the app so that if the controls are present, the app uses them. But if they are not present, I use a simpler control? I picture using a 'launcher' form that tries to load Form2 with 3rd party. if it errors, then just load Form3 with common controls. But can I even get to that point? With missing controls, will the app even load? I understand Late Binding for objects, but this is a control right on the form. Can I late bind a control and add it to form dynamically perhaps?

I'm constructing a Management system. Now, I have a problem with the interface design.
I wish to use ForumsAccount's tab control and JuggaloBrotha's gradient form in my application (both can be found in CodeBank).
But the problem is, I'm confused in the design ! Which one shall I use for the main form ? an MDI form or a normal form ?
Details about the Mgmt. System app: it will be used to manipulate everything for a small firm, like adding customers, employees, payments, etc.. Everything is managed using the app and saved to the db.

I'm working on a design project where I have to use a Graphical User Interface that contains a drag and drop form. It consists of having a window dropped on a wall. Both of them are images to scale. I would like to know what kind of code I would have to use to show the x and y coordinates of one of the points of my window when dragged so when I drop it, I'm dropping in it on the desired coordinate of the wall.

I'm looping through an array of controls and need to know which controls an end-user has the ability to (via JavaScript or directly) change the value that gets posted back. Where can I find such a list?
So far I have this:
Private Function IsEditableControl(ByVal control As Control) As Boolean
Return TypeOf control Is IEditableTextControl _
OrElse TypeOf control Is ICheckBoxControl _
OrElse GetType(ListControl).IsAssignableFrom(control.GetType()) _
OrElse GetType(HiddenField).IsAssignableFrom(control.GetType())
End Function

I'm trying to make a secondary security system to use on my computer. I made a form with a password field in the middle, the size of the form cover the entire screen and there is no border. But now I'm trying to find a way to remove all possible ways to exit the form without enter the correct password like CTRL+ALT+Del, ALT+F4, CTRL+ESC, CTRL+TAB, WIN KEY, or any of the short keys. I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate and everything I've found is for 98 and XP and won't seem to work. So in other-words I want it to be impossible to exit the form without entering the correct password.

As Autodesk is going to discontinue VBA for their Inventor product in the near future I have been looking at other ways to run VB.NET in Inventor. To date it doesn't look like VSTA will be the replacement. Automation from an External VB.NET app is certainly possible, but leaves something to be desired for speed and integration. Compiled Add Ins are the Cadillac of choice but can be a royal pain to debug and develop. Autodesk now provides a lightweight VB.NET script interface called iLogic. It's main purpose is to allow extreme customization of Solid Modeling parts. The code actually resides inside the Part Model file.

In an attempt to learn VB I'm trying to build a database project for a friend's business. This db will be used to track customer information, predominantly for targeted marketing purposes. So far, the development has been slow (I'm still trying to adapt from VBA to VB), but its all starting to make sense now. I'm using two different forms for adding new customers and reviewing the information of existing customers, mainly because the database will grow by about 2,500 customers per year and we wanted to be able to search the records without returning every record when the forms load. Most of this works so far, but I'm having trouble with two issues.
When I open the new customer entry form, I want the form to automatically begin entering data without clicking the "Add New" button. The second problem involves the row ID from the database. It keep showing up as "-1", "-2" etc. The row ID records properly in the table, so no big deal. I have read that this problem is a bug in VB and that its nothing to worry about. However, down the road I will need to access the correct row ID from this same form in order to print out a report for the customer (as needed).
For what its worth here is the code I have so far:
Code:
'Update current record when the form closes
Private Sub frmNewCustomer_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Me.TblCustomersBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.TblCustomersTableAdapter.Update(Me.dsNewCustomer.tblCustomers)

I have an ArrayList that is set to Friend. Once I click my button "abc" is added to the ArrayList and then the form MsgBoxes out the Count of 1 (Correct).When I use Threadpool to count the number of objects within the ArrayList it always returns 0.
Example:
Imports System.Threading
Public Class Form1
Friend Alphabet As New ArrayList

I have a number of pages which implement the same interface:[code]The function doSomethingToTextBox takes a textBox item as a parameter and performs some action on it.I know the textBox is contained on every page which implements my interface, and that it has the same name on each page.My question is: how can I declare the textBox as an interface property? This will remove the need to pass the textBox as a parameter to doSomethingToTextBox()I must also add that I'm currently accessing the TextBox using get/set methods defined as part of the interface - I don't want to have to implement these methods for each page as they are exactly the same on each page.

My main form has two panels, left docked and right docked. The right side panel has two child panels with top dock and bottom dock settings. The usercontrol is added to the right side top panel. My usercontrol has a panel and a label. The panel is anchored on all 4 sides, the label is anchored on all except the bottom. At runtime I create this usercontrol and set it to dockstyle=fill and then I add it to my top right panel.
With everything set to "fill" I expect that when I add my usercontrol to the panel it will take on the appropriate width and height and pass that info to the child controls (labels) inside of my usercontrol. My problem is that this stretching of the size does not happen when I create my objects during the Load event on my usercontrol. Even though initializecomponent has ran for the usercontrol the panel inside of it (4 corners anchored) has not taken the x/y values of the available space. As a result my usercontrol shows up about 50% of the width I want.

How to implement resize begin and end on controls the way a Form does. I had the idea that this can be accomplished using windows messages API (WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE and WM_EXITSIZEMOVE) but most of the samples I've seen so far are for windows. The reason for this is because I have a control that needs to re-render an image. The controll is inside a split container. The split container has only the Resize event. Is there any way this can be done?

I'm trying to build a custom ListBox control as inspired by the 'Audi Infotainment System' on high-end Audi vehicles. The only difference is i would like to have a 'boundary' where when scrolling up/down moves the actual list up or down. Basically, i would like my list to act like a normal ListBox except i would like to show say one or two items above and below normally only visible items.

I downloaded the custom made OvalShape control for Visual Studio 2005, and I really like it. One problem I have, is that I would like to have a label docked inside the Oval, as if it was a Panel or a GroupBox or pretty much any other control. With the other controls it does this automatically when I move the control inside them, but when I move the label inside the Oval, it won't "stick" to it. The OvalShape will move around and change size quite a lot in my app, so it would be nice ot to have to add a snippet of code after every movement of the OvalShape.
