I'm trying to create a installation setup for my VB.net application. I need to insert a custom action while setup is running. So I add a Checkbox Dialog box to my setup. And I add a dll to the setup installation to capture Before Install and After Install events. Those are works fine. But I cannot access my check box value in those events. [code]

View 1 RepliesI'm creating an stock management application. At times I want to be able to search for a customer, location, or institution. I know how to do all of this, but what I really nee dot figure out is:How do I create/design a function that calls a form and has the user query information and then return that query's data, preferable datatable.Now, I've created the form that does all this and I have the dataTable but now I want to have a function that can call this "query form" and return that data.I was thinking I have to do something with multi-threading but maybe I'm just looking over something obvious. The best analogy of what I want to do is to create a custom dialog box, but obviously instead of returning a simple integer I'd be returning a dataTable.
View 5 RepliesI am writing a program and I need a way for the user to input information into a pop up screen, i.e. may be up to 10 settings for the program. I have looked at using a parent and child form but it seems somewhat difficult to pass data between forms. I have also looked at custom dialog boxes but it seems like there would be an easier way? Is there a way that a form or similar box could pop up when a button on form1 was pressed and then the user could make the needed selections and then click ok on form 2. This would then save the selections to some global variable that could be accessed by form1 after form 2 has been closed?
View 2 RepliesI'm having a bit of trouble with my project here... and Google isn't helping very much. To put it briefly, I'm currently making a sticky note program (one fairly similar to Sticky Notes, for those of you familiar with Windows Vista or 7). It's relatively simple, as the "note" itself is basically a glorified Rich Text Box.
My problem is this: I obviously want to allow some for some customization with the font, however I don't want to use a standard full-on Dialog Box. So I designed a small form with 2 Combo Boxes--one for font and the other for size--and 2 buttons, "OK" and "Cancel". What I'm attempting to do is program this form (named dlgFont) to more or less be recognized as a Font Dialog Box. I've got some of it figured out I think, but I can't seem to put the pieces together in a way that actually works.In the code for my main form, I have this within the Class... stuff:
Friend WithEvents dlgFont As System.Windows.Forms.FontDialog
As for the Command Button that pulls up the dialog box itself, well, it's actually a Context Menu Strip Item... I'm not really sure what to put. So far I've only tried this:
dlgFont.ShowDialog
And for the Apply event, I've got the generic stuff:
Private Sub dlgFont_Apply(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles dlgFont.Apply
If dlgFont.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Me.Font = dlgFont.Font
End If
End Sub
That's all I have for the main form. This is what dlgFont looks like: 'A limited-ability font dialog box.
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Friend Class dlgFont

Lets say i'm making a new dialog. I don't want to expose the properties of the form to code elsewhere, only specific ones I define. I tried making the form Protected (including the Designer generated code) and putting it in another class, but then I can't figure out how to access the form from my code. Am I going about this completely the wrong way, or what?

I'm trying to show my own dialog (windows form) from a windows service, unfortunatly this is not possible unless I can somehow make it work like a MessageBox and pass it the MessageBoxOptions.ServiceNotification.
Using the standard MessageBox won't work as I actually don't expect it to be seen by users most of the times and therefore was wanting to use my own form that has a countdown timer to close itself if no user interaction occurs within a given timeframe.The Form.Show doesn't take the MessageBoxOptions, but is there a way to make it accept these?
i am creating my own message box. My msgbox contains 4 button , so i want to return an integer value as the button no. that was selected (i.e return 1 for button 1, 2 for btn 2...)i tried me.dialogresult=1 , but its not working

View 3 RepliesIt's been a while since I last posted something, but this attracted my attention. Since many of my programs share the same type of code, I decided to dump it all in a class library for other programs to use.
Now I have a problem, Windows Forms in a class library can't be displayed. There is no "Show(Dialog)" command, only some for event handling. All properties are gone as well. The only way I managed to display a form is by making it as a new variable: 'Dim f as windows.forms.form
But this won't work because of the enormous amount of handlers added to the original.

Now, I know asp checkboxes do not have a value attribute, but I read somewhere that you can put that in there and it will work the same. I'll have to look it up again to see if I read it wrong. However, just in case it is possible to put the custom attribute in there, how do I retrieve it in code behind? I looked at the source after the page is created and there is no attribute in the control that says "value".

If a match is found the the same as the LOCATION name on another Table then it takes the LOCATIONID (it will be the ID, but not at the moment) and puts it into a listview along with its IN STOCK.THe location Table looks like so:

I am creating a Microsoft Access 2003 database which will be using Visual Basic code in the backend.I have a form called frmReports. On this form are three option groups consiting of checkboxes.

The code works fine for TextBoxes and ComboBoxes, but, for CheckBoxes and RadioBoxes I don't know what to put instead of .Text?
I am trying to access the checked state of a CheckBox from a BackGroundWorker thread. I am utilizing properties and it seemed to work just fine. However, I'm using 10-15 CheckBoxes and I think using the InvokeRequired property would probably be best. I've looked over JMC's thread that talks about how to access controls from the worker thread a bunch of different times and I can't seem to grasp the concepts. When it comes to the InvokeRequired property, I suppose I understand why it is needed. But I'm not sure if I understand it completely.
From the example that JMC provides:
vb.net
Private Sub ResetTextBoxText()
If Me.TextBox1.InvokeRequired Then
Me.TextBox1.Invoke(New MethodInvoker(AddressOf ResetTextBoxText))
Else
Me.TextBox1.ResetText()
End If
End Sub
If I'm not mistaken, this tells us that if invocation is required to access the control, then we access via the MethodInvoker if not, then we just access to directly? So, if I need to check the checked state of a check box, I know I can just put a conditional statement after the Else line if I can access it directly. But, if I can't how would I use MethodInvoker to check the checked state? And then, when calling it from the worker thread, would I just call the sub?
I'm writing a custom DAL (VB.NET) for an ordering system project. I'd like to explain how it is coded now, and receive some alternate ideas to make coding against the DAL easier/more readable. The DAL is part of an n-tier (not n-layer) application, where each tier is in it's own assembly/DLL.
The DAL consists of several classes that have specific behavior. For instance, there is an Order class that is responsible for retrieving and saving orders. Most of the classes have only two methods, a "Get" and a "Save," with multiple overloads for each. These classes are marked as Friend and are only visible to the DAL (which is in it's own assembly).
In most cases, the DAL returns what I will call a "Data Object." This object is a class that contains only data and validation, and is located in a common assembly that both the BLL and DAL can read.To provide public access to the DAL, I currently have a static (module) class that has many shared members. A simplified version looks something like this:
Public Class DAL
Private Sub New
End Sub
Public Shared Function GetOrder(OrderID as String) as OrderData
[code].....
This cleans it up a bit, but it leaves a lot of classes that only have references to other classes, which I don't like for some reason.Without resorting to passing DB specific instructions (like where clauses) from BLL to DAL, what is the best or most common practice for providing a single point of access for the DAL?
