I am totally new to VB and I'd like to know, for example, when a user clicks on "Print" in the menu strip on the keyboard should automatically press "Ctrl+P", because the original print dialog, and the WebBorwser print dialog is toootaly different.
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knows how to do these from a simple text box. i.e. 'TextBox1'.
I'm just learning VB and it's only a simple text editor but I can't find any good sites or posts that help me in understanding how to do it. These are not really covered in any of the 'beginner' books I have acquired either.
My instructor told us how to print documents and how to use databases. What the instructor did not mention is how to print or print a preview of records within a DatabaseDataSet. The book "Programming in Visual Basic 2010" does not explain how to print or do a print preview of Database Source records from within a form. The only thing I was told was to test the print document first before you try to do a print preview. Within a form I used a DataGridView to add, delete, and update the database. So now all I need to do is figure out how to print the updated records from the DataGridView and how to print a preview of the records within the DataGridView. So I hope my question is clear enough to give me assistance on how I can perform these two actions. Thanks this would be a great help, and since the class is online we can get assistance from any sources that we have.
THe Print preview is showing all the pages , but it does not print them all, just one page. I know it has to do with the 'e.HasMorePages'. I dont know how to do this.[code
I copied across all the code and got it going, but when I copied across the tool strip menu it came up with a Red X, where on the old project it was displaying fine. I removed the copied tool strip and dragged a new one onto the form, but even a brand new one with no modification comes up with a Red X. I tried a couple of the suggestions I could find on the internet, but none of them seemed to make any difference.
I tired stepping through the code (F8) but it does go anywhere near any tool strip code. I added a New Sub complete with InitializeComponents, but when it gets to initialise it goes yellow and then next step goes to End Sub. I though in previous projects it went to another class and setup the components on the form. Just got home and thought I would throw a button on the form to see if it would display that and it does.
Ok, I'm a very inexperienced programmer writing my first "non-example" program without step by step instructions provided by the learning material. That said, I am still trying to grasp all the different concepts, syntaxes, tools available, etc. So I wanted someone to take a look at my code and give me some input as to how I can make the code more efficient because I can already envision some bugs that could come up from the code I have written right now.
So I'm writing a program that will have two controls (as of now, which I might think of other controls that might become useful) that will be in a boolean state. I have a checked tool strip menu item and a check box item. I need to have the clicked event run some statements that will either set a textbox's visible property. But my question is whether I should keep the code as it is, if I should create a new module, use a sub procedure, or what is the most efficient way of dong this? Here's my code but I can already see some functionality problems if I decide more controls that accomplish the same task as having to go back and add code to the existing controls. Should I not try to keep the code in a seperate module so all I have to do is change the code getting called in that seperate module instead of actually going through the event code and changing/adding statements repetitively? Anyway:
I'm still unclear as to how this works. The examples in the tutorial don't help very much, and, sorry, I could not make the examples in the previous thread work either and I don't understand the Lost Focus event. What I want to do is fairly simple. 1.) Enter the Test Duration as a string in the tool strip menu item text box in form1. 2.) Make the variable TestDuration equal to the string in the tool strip menu item. 3.) Print the value in a message box after button1 is pressed so I know that it's been captured. Attached is my simple code. This is probably very elementary and I'm sure I'm doing it wrong but I haven't a clue just yet.[code]...
We have a menu strip with 4 toolstripmenuitems. In mosue right click i need to show one toolstripmenuitem as dropdown menu. here i am able to show that tool strip menu but it is populating at the top left corner of the screen. I need to set the location as cursor location.
I'm creating a Win Form app in VB Express 10, which includes an animation. While the animation is running, it would be helpful to fade (maybe 50% opacity) a tool strip menu item's image so that it would not distract from the animation. I've tried to change the item's transparency in the property drop down, with no effect. I think I would need a function to add to the animation start button to fade the tool strip menu item's image to 50%. Then if the animation stops, or the image is clicked, a function to re-establish 100% opacity.
I making a program where the program has different codes for every item that I'm selling, so like 1 item might cost $700 and another item might cost $1000. Then I'm importing this to notepad.
In word/excel/office programs when you press the file menu item at the bottom a list of files recently used are shown, i would like to do a similar thing but i would like to put files from a certain folder with a certain extension (.xml) into my file menu item so the user can select to view the files.
I think i need something like: For each file (extension .xml) in myFolder If menuItem = Nothing
I created a control using the rich text box to load in IE. However, when I try to print the text, the area where I load the box comes out completely black. How can I allow IE to print out the text in the box without having to take a print screen?
I draw a panel with scroll(Autoscrollminsize=A4 paper), and the size of panel just 732, 687. I want to print all of the control in panel. my problem is i can not print more than 1 page. here my
Private Sub pd_BeginPrint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs) Handles pd.BeginPrint ' Start at the beginning of the text
The Print Preview document is set to the print document.[code]...
When I print the document (from print preview or my print button) the papersize/margins are different...this is how:
1. If I draw a rectangle from (0,0) to some width or height the point is in the corner of the print preview but on my actual printed page it is about 1/4 in to the right and 1/8 in down.
2. I have an extra inch or so on the right side and bottom of the "page" that print preview will print to but will be cut off in actual printing.
I am assuming that there are some default settings (like the printer gutter and letter paper size) that print is getting from the printer that print preview is not, possibly. I need to have my print preview look exactly like my actual printed page.
i have a document which prints out my form and i created a print preview screen. However when i click the button print (btnPrint) the print preview screen does come up however the file already starts printing, here is the code in the print dialog (prtdocDetails):
I have been working on using print preview for my app and have successfully been able to view my drawings wherever I want by creating a database with the Avery Label specs in it and calling the coordinates from that data.Here is the problem.....I draw the rectange of the label onto the print doc literally and it shows in print preview perfect......so I hit print and it is off So I researched the hardmarginx and hardmarginy properties of the printer and now in my printdoc paint procedure I offset the drawing with THESE values and it prints perfect! BUT the print preview is off now the value of the hardmargins.
It appears that printeres are different also in this hardmargin value....I have watched the values change based on the printer I have selected.like I said I now have PERFECT printing but the preview is off the value of the hardmargin.
I am at a road block on how to print all of the items selected since last clear. A File menu should allow the user to print preview and print a document that contains the charges selected since the last clear including the total of all shipping charges selected When I click print preview I get the entire program screen, I need it to just show weight, zone and charges of everything I have selected.
