View 1 RepliesHow can I combine specialized string collections so that I can accomplish this :
-Save all the tab's texts from a tabcontrol
-Save contents of the tabs : eg.Every tab contains a label and I save the text of each label
And the real problem:
-Loading them when the program opens
I have made some thoughts about saving them, but not about loading them
setting.TabNames.Clear()
setting.TabLabels.Clear()
For Each item As TabPage In TabControl1.TabPages
Dim name As String = item.Text
setting.TabNames.Add(name)

View 5 RepliesI currently have a program that I made which opens other apps packaged with an installer. I have set the installer to install everything to the Program Files folder. However, not all computers have a C: hard drive. I have a way in which they can enter their drive letter in one form then in the next form it remembers the drive and will take them to the program. The problem is my program stores the drive letter in an xml file. On the startup of the program it looks in the xml file to find the drive letter, if there is no drive letter the form opens then lets the user set his drive letter. The xml file is stored in the folder "Math Wizard" in the Program Files folder. But if not all computers have C:Program Files I need a shortcut to the program files folder. I have been trying to use %ProgramFiles% (%Program Files% + "Math Wizardconfig.xml") but vb is saying that the % is an invalid character. Here's my code:

I'm developing the program which opens files/programs that I have selected and checked with checkbox1, 2 and 3(i haven't coded the tihrd one yet, but it doesn't affect). The first program runs instantly and others run after X interval if it's wrote in textbox4 and checked by checkbox4. So Checkbox is like an activator for this interval. If checkbox4 isn't checked then every program should run instantly. The problem is that checkbox4 isn't doing a job. Program activates the interval if there are somekind of numbers in textbox4. It doen't matter that is the checkbox4 checked or not.

I'm using the ErrorProvider in VB.Net (2005) which is associated with a BindingSource that is bound to a custom object that I have created. This custom object contains a date field that has a "Date" data type that. I am using a "TextBox" to bind the date field in my form. My issue is, whenever the TextBox loses focus and is blank, "String not recognized as a valid DateTime" is displayed by the ErrorProvider and the focus can't be changed to any other control on the Form. It's good that the ErrorProvider validates entries on Date fields by default (I didn't set up my custom object to display this particular error for the date), but it should allow blank values. I want the user to be able to have a blank date with no error message displayed. How can this be done using a Date field bound to a TextBox?
View 2 RepliesI have a date field bound to a textbox. If I make any changes to the textbox, I get "stuck" in the field unless I put a valid date value. All I want to do is set the date textbox to blank and move on to the next field, but I can't. I am eternally "stuck" in the field unless I put a valid date value.

I'm doing a simple calculator program calculating Pennies, Nickels, Dimes and Quarters. I made a Try-Catch statement so that if the user enters letters into the text boxes, they get an error message. However, if the user leaves one field blank, the error message still pops up. What's the code so that I can get Visual Basic to recognize that an empty field is the same as 0 so that that message doesn't pop up? [Code]. What do I need to add to it to get that Error Message to stop showing when the user doesn't enter a value into one of the text boxes?

I have a form with a Tab Control that has 18 pages. When I click on a tab it opens the page and select a textbox on that page (txtTextbox1. Select() ). This works for the first 8 pages but not for the remaining 10 pages. Although on these pages I can mouse click on the textbox, enter info, save then click my Add button that clears the textboxes and has the code (txtTextbox1. Select() ). The textbox is selected just fine. The code for all my pages is the same except for the tab name and the control names. The tab key will move the selection to the next textbox in order on all pages and the Enter key is coded to do the same. The first 8 pages have a total of 256 labels, buttons, list boxes, textboxes and checkboxes on them.
