View 6 RepliesHow can I add a string to my visual basic form?
I'm creating a study application for myself and this is what I have:
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class Form1
Dim amounts As Integer
[Code].....
I'm trying to display a line of text on my form saying.. "Prevented firefox from running X times.
X being my "amounts" variable.
Here's what my form looks like:
So how can I put my amounts variable in place of the X?
I am just wondering how I can add Direct X references to Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I cant find them in the .NET reference list, or the reference list, or anywhere. I downloaded the Direct X SDK for August 2009, but I can not add the .dll files to the reference list. Is there anything I can do to add them? I need the references for programming reasons.

View 3 RepliesThere is a response to this question using C# - I am looking for a VB answer and the C# code is too deep for me. I have a custom user control and I have a toolstrip on it. I have certain default buttons on the toolstrip, but I want the user to be able to add additional buttons at design time. I exposed the Toolstrip.Items collection in a public property. I can open the collections editor in design time, but I cannot edit the collection.
View 1 Repliesi am trying to figure out how to get buttons like the back/forward butons we see in internet explorer. i am seeing them in countless applications such as WMP, firefox, and even MS office i don't know what they are called so i can't find them in the toolbox or add them to the toolbox or even search youtube for video's on them
View 4 RepliesI have 26 buttons on my form (each a letter of the alphabet) i want to press a button lets say Z and that it then changes the relevant registry key value of 0 to 1 representing the button has already been clicked (these a-z buttons are to be compared with on/ off switches). This way if I start my program up again the values in the regedit will "memorise" wich buttons were turned on and wich were turned off in our previous program session.
Ultimately the buttons turned off should always appear as red until switched onagain
Dose anybody know how to achive this?

View 1 RepliesI'm new to visual basic & have learned many new things in such a short period of time from being on the MSDN forums. I have learned particularly in the subject of automating web browsing control using the getattributes etc., but I have tried everything that I have seen in the forums to auto click the "Settings" link in a created gmail account and then have the browser automate the "Forwarding" to another gmail address. I haven't found a solution anywhere to accomplish this.
So here is an account to try out in which this should only take a few mins to a veteran coder:

Guys I'm trying to dynamically create panels which are filled with seven radio buttons each. I get the panels but they are only filled with 1 radio button each. What am I doing wrong here? QuestionQuantity is an Integer and is the variable that determines how many panels I will be creating. The code is in the form load function located.

Does anyone know of a way have the PropertyGrid control display a NumericUpDown instead of a DropDown box or text box? One of the properties that I need to capture is an integer and I'd like the user to be able to spin up or down to choose a value instead of typing it in.

[URL]. Attached is a MEF WPF and WinForms project that I have been playing around with. I was able to add two 'plug-in' buttons to the form but how do I provide functionality to the buttons? How can I add objects from a separate assembly, like most plug-ins do? Let's say I want to break out each menu (File, Edit, View, Tools) into their own assemblies, leaving the main application window as a blank form that will import each assembly on startup. Also, could functionality from the Edit menu assembly interact with the code from the File menu assembly? I have also not created custom user controls before so as you can see I am having trouble creating a plug-in menu structure.
View 10 RepliesI'd like to, let say "declare" my custom command, and what do I mean by command is something you type in the code, when for example you click a button. Just like Textbox (for example), my custom command sould have "underthings" in it, so just like I can type in Textbox1.Text. And that underthing (in this example, textbox is my custom command and .text is a sub/underthing) I can set if it is a boolean or string etc. I need this for my login program, where that custom command is an username (named username, what you can dim), and then it has sub things, like username1.email (string for e-mail text) and username1.password, username1.ismoderator (boolean, true or false). So an example, in my program I can do like this:
'Username is my custom command, just I don't know how to'define or declare it.'Username has here, to keep it simple, 2 sub things, it is'username.password and username.name Private Sub btn_registrate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_registrate.Click'When the button called registrate (make new username) is clicked Dim username1 As Username'(I don't know if it must be dim blabla as NEW or without new with'my custom command)username1.name = Textbox1.Text 'Textbox for username username1.password = Textbox2.Text 'Textbox for password

I have Visual Basic 5.0 and need to print the full form in landscape mode. My form has lines,textboxes, and labels that need to be printed as they are on the screen. I understand that printform.print does not respond to changing to landscape orientation. I have tried the paint picture method, but did not like the quality of the text. I have also tried having a common dialog box before printing and even set the default to landscape, but the form still printed in portrait. Is there a way that I can print my form in landscape mode in Visual Basic 5.0?

how to make a layered form (im a begginer!). I've found something about calling API, but that sounded like old; cant I do this with .Net? If api is necessary, with that hwnd thing, how do I call it? And if you are so kind, is there a way to search for thing only for visual basic .net 2010? Because i dont find a way to practice a strict filter, and visual basic 6, or old visual basic stuff (if not other languages) appear mixed with the program i use.
