I already have this code from another question on this website.
Help.ShowHelp(ParentForm,
("C:UsersBeaudeanDesktopHelp.chm"),HelpNavigator.TableOfContents, Nothing)
That works fine except i need the location of the chm help file to point to "my.resources" where it exists because i need to install my program but in that code example it only works with strings?
I am trying to get my Visual Basic Web Browser to open links and buttons when clicked in a new window of my web browser by using the New Window event. I found this code to make links work in a new window of my browser, but buttons will not. When I click on a button, a new window of my form pop ups but the url says, "about:blank". Is it because the attribute is set to "href"?
Private Sub WebBrowser1_NewWindow2(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.NewWindow
Dim myElement As HtmlElement = WebBrowser1.Document.ActiveElement
Dim target As String = myElement.GetAttribute("href")
Dim newInstance As New Form1
newInstance.Show()
newInstance.WebBrowser1.Navigate(target)
e.Cancel = True
I've noticed that when you click on a web page in Windows Explorer, or open a file in general, and the default application to open it is internet explorer, ie opens and opens the file. However, when I tried this on my Web Browser it opened, but ignored the file and went on its usual routine. How can I get my Web Browser to open and open the file that was clicked on in explorer?
View 1 RepliesWhat I would like to do is to have four different buttons (e.g., buttonA, buttonB, buttonC and button D). I wanna give the following instruction to the people: press these buttons in the following order: first buttonA, then buttonB, then buttonC and last buttonD. If they obey this instruction then a picture will be displayed, for instance a happy face. All the other combinations will not activate this picture to be displayed, or in other words, there won't be any consequence. I would also like to save this data using windows note pad e.g., writeline (1, xxxxxx). Is there any chance I will make it?

View 4 RepliesHow do I open this .REG file in Visual Basic 2010?
I'm trying to make a program that will launch this registry file that I've put already in the Resources folder of the program.
BTW if you're curious it's not a harmful program I'm making.
So all I've done so far is put the file in the resources folder of the program, but I don't know how to actually launch it.
1. Place a PDF file in the resources and open it in my program using 'AxAcroPDF1.src'
2. Place a txt file in the resources, open and change it.

View 6 RepliesI want to make a small app that has three buttons on screen that when clicked, they act as keyboard input. For example, I have an application that uses a drop down list to choose a letter, number or shape. You can select using the mouse or just type in what you want. However, I cannot type in the shapes that I need, I must use the mouse to scroll through a long list in order to select the shape I need.
My initial solution was to just use alt codes..but they are long and I can't figure out a way to customize them the way I want. So I just figured why not just make a small VB app and click the button of the shape I need which would send the alt code information like I typed in using the keyboard.
So if my app has a star button, when I click it, it will be interpreted as I just entered the alt code for that star but I really just clicked a button.
Unless there is another way to allow me to create custom alt codes or modify the ones windows has for these shapes. I'm certainly open to any ideas or advice and would be grateful for help. Thank you!
I made a form with only 1 Button. I want that when i click that button, 2 more buttons should be appeared. Example: Button1 is clicked. Button2 and Button3 are displayed. I have named Button1 as Scan. When i click on Scan, the Button2(Pause) and Button3(Stop) should be displayed. When it is scanning, i have placed the progress bar with the timer. When the progress bar finishes loading, Button2(Pause) and Button3(Stop) should be hidden again.

View 1 RepliesI have a form that I am adding a set of buttons to. I am adding an event to those buttons. I need this event to function slightly to determine what button was pressed.
I need the button to simply set a string variable equal to the clicked buttons text so I can determine what button was pressed.
How can this be accomplished?

View 1 RepliesI'm using a ContextMenuStrip for multiple controls and I'm trying to figure out the best way to get the control that was actually clicked on to open the Context Menu. The sender just gives the ToolStripMenuItem reference, which has an Owner property that references the ContextMenuStrip, but I cannot figure out how to tell which control the click came from. There must be a simple way to check this, right? I'm checking it in the ToolStripMenuItem's click event.

View 2 RepliesIm making a "offline viewer" which uses saved webpages.I'm using a web browser and a tree-viewer. Currently when you click a link for a file/ installer (for example if you click on the "The Gimp" installer link) you have to right click, and then "save target as..." and then save it (so you would then two copys of the same file) AND then open it.Is there way i could have the file open when the link click?
