View 7 RepliesI need to print the contents of 3 textboxs to default printer. what examples I have found dont seem to work. I was trying the documentprint1 component as i thought it would be easy but cant figure out how to tell it what to print the second part is to print a variable (string) to the printer as well.no need for user to select just straight to default printer with its default settings
View 1 RepliesHow can I assign a value to a message box for when the default value displayed in the text box is unchanged. ie. If my default value is 17 and the user clicks ok without retyping a number, the Input value displayed in a textbox will be 0.
Currently I have:
Public Class Form1
Dim MyValue As Double
Private Sub But_EnterInput_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles But_EnterInput.Click
MyValue = CDbl(InputBox("Input a value", "Data Input", "17", 200, 400))
[code]....
This works however if the user types 17, the textbox will read 0. not what i want.
Which of the following is more readable and preferable?
This, where the default value is assigned in the declaration:
Dim isLastWeekOfPeriod As Boolean = False
If periodInfo.WeekCount = weekInfo.Week Then
isLastWeekOfPeriod = True
[Code].....
I need to define some roles in my program with defined permissions. Let's say the administrator can have access only to certain features. The officer in charge to certain features and the user as well. for example, I have several group boxes and the user can access one of it only. So how i do manage these permissions? What I want do is have the roles already with the defined permissions. When I create the user and assign the role, the user should get the permission automatically.

View 1 RepliesI have a custom control with an event handler when you click on it. Everything works and the event get fired right.
AddHandler (cu.MouseLeftButtonDown), AddressOf Me.DoSomething
When the control resizes to show some extra information it expands. It also collapses when the user preses a button. This works alright. But now when I click where the expanded area used to be, it still fires mouse leftbuttondown on that control. I have tried to set IsHitTestVisible to false on the expanded element but it diden't work. Here's some xaml...
<UserControl x:Class="MyCustomControl">
<StackPanel>
<Grid>
[code]....
I cant use another element around my customcontrol since I also use this MouseLeftButtonDown on all different kind of controls.
I can't figure out how the boundaries on the cu.MouseLeftButtonDown event work to fix this.
how to stop a ComboBox from displaying blank data?
The query I'm using does not allow nulls but the ComboBox is showing black areas and the user can click in those areas.

The attachment shows me clicking in a blank area.

IF I PUT MSGBOX " " & GetCurrentUser & "" I return the current user with no problem and if I hardcode the user name the shell function works with no problem however I am uncertain of the proper syntax to code the username into the file path ...After tinkering with it for half an hour I figured I should just ask someone who codes in VB !

I have a Form1 with TextBox1 and Button1.
Here is what I'm trying to do: When Button1 is clicked, I want an Excel file created and saved into a default folder (the user does not choose the folder...code for Button1_Click will choose the folder), and the file name will be the text that the user enters into TextBox1.
I have an application which uses hotkeys which are to be defined by the user. It is a combination of 2 keys, either CTRL, ALT, SHIFT as one hotkey and the F* Function keys as the other (e.g. CTRL + F1, ALT + F2 or SHIFT + F8) As stated these are then chosen by the user before a global keyhook is put in place to listen for them and trigger an event. In my app I have all my function keys as follows:
Public Const VK_F1 = &H70
Public Const VK_F2 = &H71
Public Const VK_F3 = &H72

Trying to set the viewable area to a smaller screen area and have it cycle through as the person moves using collision detection to move the backgroudn image. Here is the start but its off to a bad start so far.
Public Class Form1

Dim Mapy As Integer = 2000

Basically the forum size is set to 600x2000 but the client should only allow you to view 600x600. I want it to add +1 once you "collide with a invisable box I'll add and this will redraw the screen.
I designed a form and managed to fit graphics inside it. Picture box is 465 pixels high. Form1 is 500 pixels high. SnapShot of the screen verifies that the 500 pixel height is the overal height. It includes the upper Bar and lower frame. Is there an instruction to set the From's inner pixel size and not overal?

View 10 RepliesMy deployment of upgrades to an application written in C# (.NET 3.0) consist of simply replacing an older .exe with the new one. Because that older version can currently be used by some customers, I simply rename the old version to blahblah.exe.old and copy the new one to the same folder. When the user opens up the application again, the new one loads up.
The problem is, every time I deploy a new version, the user scope settings are always reverted back to the default values.
I have two textboxes on the screen. They are used for startdate and enddate. If the user does not enter anything in the textboxes I pass nothing (VB.NET) to the webservice. When the webservice receive it on the other end it shows the value "#12:00:00 AM" which I think is the default for the datetime field. Anyway, now I do not want to pass this value to Stored procedure since it will not work. How can I check before sending values to sproc that the value is not the default datetime.
View 3 RepliesI have a VB.NET module that prints out a series of Crystal and PDF documents as a packet. I need a way to temporarily change the user's default printer to the network printer for the PDF report (the Crystal reports are already redirected). Once the module has done its job, I want the module to return the default printer back to its original setting. Since Adobe Reader only works with the default printer, and there does not appear to be a way to redirect that, I need to change the deault for the duration of the module. I tried the following code, but it still sends the PDF output to the local printer.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI am creating a customised version of the ListView control and there are several of the properties that a ListView has that I would like to be set to a different value to the ListView default when a user goes to use my user control.
From what I've found there seems to be a number of people suggesting just set them in the constructor, but to the best of my knowledge that would just mean that the user would not be able to change the properties in the PropertyGrid in the VS IDE.I assume this is probably something extremely simple that I have overlooked.
