in a windows form if i want to duplicate the properties window layout on my form, which is basically a 2 column table with title on the left and value on the right, what control do i use to achieve that?
View 1 RepliesUsing Visual Basic 2008 when (in the past) I looked at the properties window for a control, the very bottom of the list of properties has a brief explanation of the specific property selected.
This has disappeared and I can not find any way to get it back. I tried the Tools/Options menu with no success.
I want to create a class (I think) that has properties that correspond to column names in a database table, such that they come up in Intellisense when I type the dot after the class name. Is this possible to do?

I'm putting the finishing touches to a fullscreen Winforms Application in VB (.net 3.5, VS2008). This is Q2 for today, as I seem to be coming up with all these little glitches I can't figure out!!I have a webcontrol, which I use to show a PowerPoint presentation - by using webctl.navigate("c:MyPresentation.ppt").This works perfectly, and my presentation shows exactly as desired.However, sometimes, when I close my application, the Powerpnt.exe process is left running.Is there any way of programatically forcing this to close if it has been left open, or am I not disposing of something I should (I can't find anything along these lines when running powerpoint through a web control)?

View 2 RepliesOverreaching amateur developer that is outsourcing some of my work and doing part of it as well. I've been working on a dictionary/ thesaurus / spell check & suggestion application that I am trying to get to work on all applications within the windows environment.
I've used hooking to get key stokes and show output as the person is typing for definitions and spelling suggestions. This isn't accomplishing everything I want. Works fine for spell checking and suggestions but to click on a word that already exists or for touch screen interfaces to touch a word it doesn't work.
I was reading the Raw Input API on MSDN and thought that would work but my developer that I've hired is advising me that the RAW input's scope is only on the window that has focus and so cannot do low level hooking. I'm considering giving the effort but wanted a 2nd third fourth perspective prior to making the effort.[URL]

In a program I am creating, i want to let the user add and remove fields on an entity, lets say "people". So I have a table named "People", with ID and Name columns. Now, I want to let the user choose "add field" in a webpage, define for instance "email" field, and then use "ALTER TABLE" from the codebehind to create the new field in the table. What I want to know is: is this recommended? It seems like a simple way to do this, but since I have never seen any other programs doing it like this (Using ALTER TABLE statements from codebehind in a live environment) - and since it changes the design of the DB -
View 3 RepliesI'm making a control and I am trying to finalize my design time properties grid. I have several List(of Class) items as public properties and when I click on the design time menu (while testing the control) there is the word "Collection" and a button with an ellipsis (...) that brings up a neat pop up with the buttons Add/remove and all of the public properties of the collection's class on the right hand side. Basically for a non-collection instance of a class (with public properties) I'd like a similar button to show up. I know I could put all of the properties in the main control class and group them, but I like the pop up box feature. Anyway to duplicate this? (think font grid item etc.)

View 4 RepliesI am trying to find the handle of the child window for the Yes button in the User Account Control window so i can click it. This window has a structure with a few child windows with the same name.
Dim hwnd As IntPtr = FindWindow(Nothing, "User Account Control")

Dim hwnd3 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd2, 0, "CtrlNotifySink", vbNullString)
Dim hwnd4 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd3, 0, "Button", "&Yes")
There are multiple CtrNotifySink with its own Button child window or other child windows. How do i search thru the different CtrNotifySink window to find the one that contain the Yes button so i can send a click to it? I do need to find it before i can send a click, right? because i try just sending it to the main window with sendmessage and nothing happen.I even try sending it directly to the handle found by spy++ of the yes button with bm click but nothing happen?

If I have a custom windows service running on a server, is there anyway I can access the value of a property/variable within that service? For example, I would like to have a client vb program be able to "read" the value some variable from that service. A simple example would be the service would capture a boolean value of the success or failure of the last time it kicked off a process. I would then like to have a client windows app "connect" with the service and be able to read that boolean value.

View 18 RepliesI made a program that is started and running in memory and minimized to the system tray.
When it is first launched it registers global hot keys in windows.These hot keys are used for resizing the current focused window. I'm trying to use it so you can hotkey windows to resize to half the screen, a third of the screen, etc... For instance, if I have two notepads open and notepad 1 is focused and I hit Ctrl+Shift+LeftArrow it will resize notepad1 to the left and half the size of the screen. I have notepad 2 focused and Hit Ctrl+Shift+RightArrow and resize notepad2 to the right side of the screen. So, I can easily see both windows at once.Now, I can successfully get the focused window handle when the hot key is pressed. I'm stuck at this point.
I can use the Windows API call:
