View 1 RepliesI am writing a simple program that serves a similar purpose as the character map, but just for the Spanish letters with accents (������ & ������). Character map doesn't work for me because I have to highlight the letter I want to insert and then copy it and then paste it into whatever window I'm working with.What I want to make is a program that has buttons for each of those letters, and when I push the button for a particular letter, it inserts the character into whatever window was active before I pressed the button. I also want whatever window that was active before I pressed the button (the window I inserted the character into) to become active again so I can resume typing right after I press the button.I have programmed in VBA before, but this will be my first VB project. I have tried searching how to do it, to no avail. Where do I begin?

View 3 RepliesI want to insert a special character into a RichTextBox. The character is in a Medieval Latin font (Andron) which is installed on my machine.
When I open MS Word and select Andron as the font, then go to Insert Symbol, then scroll down till I find the symbol I want, I see that its Unicode value is A752, selecting it inserts it into Word OK.
Now, back to my VB2005 project: I have a RichTextBox on my form, and the Font is set to Andron. I have two buttons on the form. Behind the first button I have this simple
RichTextBox1.Text = RichTextBox1.Text.Insert(RichTextBox1.SelectionSta rt, "a")
Clicking this button simply inserts the letter 'a' at the insertion point, fine.
Behind the second button I have this
RichTextBox1.Text = RichTextBox1.Text.Insert(RichTextBox1.SelectionSta rt, ChrW(&HA752))
However, on clicking this button I get the ubiquitous square symbol, as if it cannot find that character, which is odd (to me) as the correct font is selected for the RTB, and that code is the correct code for the symbol I want.
Edit to add: I can now see that all characters up to Ascii (Decimal) 255 (which equates to Unicode 00FF) all display OK, but any value over that does not.
i am trying to write code that will capitalize the first letter of a word. like when there is input from a user and the first letter is not capitalized.
I found what I was looking for. Here is what I Did.
I had one text box for the input and another for the output.
txbOutput.Text=Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(txbInput.Text,1).ToUpper + Microsoft.VisualBasic.Mid(txbInput.Text,2).ToLower
I created a mock program in Visual basic. I have a progress bar and an ErrorProvider.
1.)How can I make the progress bar stop when there is an error?
2.)How can I make the status strip start when the progress bar starts?
3.) How can I capitalize the just the first letter in a text box.
i have these html codes in a textfile. I need to write a function in vb.net to capitalize the first letter of the innertext of the labels that is england, france, belgium,etc in the textfile itself and save the texfile with the changes.

I am expanding my first project, which has a ListBox with several lines in it. If I write a new line, by typing in the TextBox and hitting the Button, I want the value which I typed in the TextBox to be saved as a variable, fe. LB1.If I write a second line I want that text to be saved as a varable, LB2.The third line saves in LB3, etc.
How can I let the program choose the first empty variable, so LB1 does not get overwritten?
Over the last 3 days i've been batteling with the issue of playlists. I'm currently using windows media for mp3 playback how ever i do not understand why the command "AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.play()" doesn't start playback immediatly. I've been over this so many time in the last few days i think i've just confused my self.
Over view of how it works... Form2 updates 1 list box with the path and 1 with the Artist & track, it then invokes the PlayMusic procedure (subroutine) on form1. However it will not begin playback until it has done all its jumpig around, gone back to form2 and closed it. Only then will playback begin.

Is there any way to automaticly check a option in a radiobox(in a browser) if it has no id in it? In my application I have a webbrowser which automaticly goes to a .html file that has the following script:
<html><form><input type="radio" class="radio" name="d" value="2" checked="checked">abc
<br>
<input type="radio" class="radio" name="d" value="3">def
Also there is a button and when I click it it should select the option 'ghi'. Now most solutions I found use the id in the input. But in this input there isn't any id.
I'm creating an app in VB2008 that needs a function that automaticly closes the processes "iexplore.exe" and "firefox.exe".

View 3 RepliesI am working on a sub that essentially needs to open a text file, and replace all instances of a certain character with a unicode character. I'm trying to do this by reading the original text file byte by byte, converting it to a character, and then either adding that character to a memory stream or writing the unicode character to the memory stream. Then I'm saving the memory stream to the original file.

For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.
I am writing a hangman type game and I am displaying the word to the user in a label as all *'s, but I cannot figure out how to have just one of the *'s changed in the label to the correct letter when the user inputs the correct letter into the text box and clicks the check letter button.Everything else in the program works perfectly, except for this part.[code]When I use the .Replace it changes all of the *'s to the correct selected letter.

View 7 RepliesIn my VB.NET application I compare words that are recorded using IPA, many of which have many diacritic marks. In one of the comparisons, I compare the words character by character. But when I iterate over the characters, the diacritic marks come out as separate characters (as I would expect since this is unicode)However, a u character is different than a u plus an accent for the purposes of this program and needs to be distinguished.

I'm trying to do an Insert into a couple tables on one form with data controls. The problem is I don't know the approach. You see, the client has books to sell. He has catagories and he wants to add many catagories for each book. One or more catagories. It would seem to me that this is a many to many normalization. Being that one or more catagories can belong to one or more books? If this is incorrect, please tell me, as I thought it was a one to many earlier with one book having one or more catagories? Anyway, I need to be able to allow the client to enter one book, and then assign one or more catagories? He wants the potential buyers to be able to query books by catagories obviously. Wondering what approach to use? What data controls, and is it possible with just the controls, or do I need to write a stored procedure to grab the ID from the book using the @@Identity SQL statment?
