I've got 1 form, with a TextBox1, where I want the news to pop-up.Now, I've made a kind of admin menu, where there's another TextBox in another form, and I want it in such a way, that when I press the "Accept" button, the text saves itself and shows up in TextBox1.[code]Can I control form 1, with form 2?
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a windows application form in vs 2005 for a client.. It's a data-tracking application. I have a few questions.The client wants a logon screen to be added into the application (at least any way or method that'll ensure that security was applied). My question in regards to this topic would be; Is it necessary to create a logon screen (or even a user authorization) for a windows form? I realize that in a webform project, security should always be considered and should be applied in all areas. Although with a windows form, I thought you can authorize who can gain access to the application by defining which workstations to install the final production release of the application (when its time to deploy the file). Is this correct?
My next question is, what is the best method to exporting data from EXCEL to SQL tables? I have many Excel files that I'd like to take portions of data from each file and insert them to there proper table.
The last question is about deploying a windows form application. As you can tell, I don't have much experience when it comes to developing Windows Form projects. Anyways back to the topic, When deploying a project, does it provide a .EXE file (installation package) to install the application on the workstation? Or is it a .EXE file of the application, where you can run it and no need to install anything?
I have an application that is writing a comma separated values file. How would I go about altering the permissions of that file from .NET - for example to give read-only permissions to a particular active directory group?

When the user restarts the program, I want it to read from the file and search for specific text like "User is a senior,False." At this point if the file has this text, I would like the program to read from a line in the program.

2. I have a software issue

Dim Printer(13) As String
'The string 'Printer' gets assigned a value, this is repeated another 13 times...
Printer(0) = "Printing"

The code simply uses a number of keywords to detect if the issue is a 'printer', 'software', 'telephone',. or 'password' problem.I want to apply this rule set to 10 issues within the same rich text box, with the results sent to a text file. The exporting to a text file I can do, however the main issue is, i cannot read the lines individually.

I have a dialog with an OK, Apply and Cancel button. I want the apply button to have the same effect as the OK button, but the dialog should not close. Can you stop the dialog from closing when you set a dialog result value (as I want to when clicking the Apply button)? Basically I have some settings that are passed into the constructor of the dialog. The dialog then updates its controls with these settings. At the moment any settings that are changed in the dialog are applied when the dialog closes via the OK dialog result (i.e. the code that calls the dialog also applies the changes). This is the way I would prefer it to happen, but the only way I can think of to get what I want to work is to apply the settings changes before I set the dialog result value (i.e. in the dialog code). This essentially makes dialogresult useless in my case as I cant use it to get the effect I am after.

I am working on applying date validation to excel cell(range) from VB.NET.
Private Sub DateValidExcelRule(ByVal worksheet As SpreadsheetGear.IWorksheet, ByVal DateRange As String)
Dim dt As Date = CDate("1/1/1900")

When I enter 4 digits whole number 7777 it is validating correctly showing message Enter Valid Date, but when I enter 5 digits 77777 it is accepting the value and converting it to 12/10/2112 value and not showing any error message.
Here all I want to do is I want to validate the cell value to any date format mm/dd/yyyy.
I created a form with a datagrid to show data stored in an Access database. It shows the data correctly, using the code:
[code]...
("compras" is the table name and "Comprasver" is the dataset name).The form also has 3 textboxes and 1 DateTimePicker.Then I created a sql query to allow the user to search within 4 fields of the table (field1, field2 and field4 get the data in the textboxes and field3 gets it in the DateTimePicker). The query looks like this: SELECT field1, field2, field3, field4, field5 FROM compras where field1 like "%"+?+"%" and field2 like "%"+?+"%" and field3 like "%"+?+"%" and field5 like "%"+?+"%" field4 is not an important search criteria, so I didn't include it in the query. Field1 and field2 are both string type. Field3 is a Date type and field4 is integer.Once I made the query, it automatically added a toolstrip with a code, which I cut and pasted in my "Search" button "click" event. The code looks like this:
[code]...
But every time I try to search, no matter which criterias I fill in (even if I fill in none of them), I get an error message saying something like the conversion of the "" string into Integer is not valid (my Visual Studio version is in Spanish, so I don't know how to exactly translate the error message).It's supposed to let the user fill in one, more or all search criterias (all 4 search fields).I found out that if I delete from the query the two fields that don't have String type data, it works correctly. What should I do in order to be able to use the Date and Integer type fields as search criterias too?
How do I apply 2 font styles to the text selected in a richtextbox? Used this method to change fontstyle:
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold)
But with this method I can only apply 1 font-style (for example bold OR italic OR underlined, etc.) right? But I want to apply for example 2 front-styles, or just add the font style ( so I can add several front-styles to the selected text, for example the text is bold, and then ALSO make it underlined (with this method I can only change the font-style, only one font-style)), how do I do this?
Just do so:
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold + FontStyle.Italic)
In my program I have a picturebox. using the .onEnter and .onLeave events for the mouse I have the cursor change to a cross (one of the default cursors) and it does like a transparent grayscale thing and changes color a bit depending on what is behind it.

View 1 RepliesI'm very new to VB and am struggling with a problem! I have a form with mutiple (100) textboxes and buttons. I have set the properties of some of the buttons so that the text is draggable, but I want to be able to drag it to every textbox. I have posted a snippet of code below that allows me to drag ot to box 1 and 2, but is there any way that I can set it to drag to all boxes without having to individually specifying them? The same goes for dragging text between boxes...i'm sure there must be some way of specifying multiple drag and drop locations without the laborious task of specifying each as an individual sub?

I have a datagridview (windows forms) that is inside an mdiChild form. The custom format is given by a "for" instance, something like this:
For row As Integer = 0 To .Rows.Count - 1
If .Rows(row).Cells("someNumber").Value = 0 Then
.Rows(row).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.DarkSeaGreen
End If
Next
So, for every row in the grid that you find, if ther value in the "somenumber" =0 paint the whole row green. Problem is, if I put the form OUTSIDE of the MDIParent - just put frmMyform.show() in my btn that calls the form-, the grid WILL apply the format; If I call it like frmMyform.mdiparent = frmMdi, then frmMyform.show, the grid WILL NOT apply the format.

View 2 RepliesI am using API calls to transform a Bitmap object. I have various physical transformations (rotation, flipping, scaling, displacement) as well as some colour adjustments (inversion, brightness and contrast)Everything works fine except for when I use the rotation or shear transformations in combination with the colour adjustment. In that case the colours revert to the original image.The interesting thing about this problem is that it seems to be dependent on the off-diagonal factors (eM12 and eM21 below) in the XForm matrix. For example, here is the rotation matrix:
Public Sub RotateClockwise(Radians As Single)
With XFormMatrix
.eM11 = Cos(Radians)[code]....
is there some way I can use both SetWorldTransform and SetColorAdjustment when using non-zero values for the off-diagonal factors in my XForm transformation?

Ok, so I have created an Access database, and everything is working fine (much to my amazement) except for one thing. I want the database "update" button to validate the input before applying it to the dataset, and if there is an error (empty field) I want it to pop a message and highlight the text box in question where the error occured (there are 7 textboxes).
How precisely do I go about doing that?
CODE:
This is what I have so far for the update button. I attempted the "textbox1.isnullorempty"
i have my code until now,like a set-up file.First when i click on my button it sends me to the form with the setup steps,when in setups it is copying a identical file into the startup menu.I want my button to check if i have that file into the startup folder,if i dont have it to send me to the setup if i have it to send me to the form with the program.I must mention that there are 2 forms,the setup form and the form with the program.Until now i tried this,but it dosent work so well...
Public Class Form1
Dim OS() As String
Dim UserName() As String[code]....
Checks,if i dont have the copy-cat of this file it sends me to the setup where it is copying the file.And if i have the copy-cat in the startup folder then send me to the other form:).
