I'm using VB10. Can someone explain why you would use user events instead of just calling a sub or function? Isn't user events the same thing a sub's or function's?
View 7 RepliesI'm converting a VB project to C#, and I notice that in vb it will call a function like:[code]on the asp.net source page or it will never hit the function. Is this a necessity in c#, or is there something that I'm overlooking or missing? Basically, is there a way in c# for it to hit that function like in VB without adding the line above in the source page?
View 2 RepliesI have created a form in a project with some controls on it and put code behind those controls so they all work as I want them to. I now decide I want to group those controls within, say, a Groupbox to visually isolate them from the rest of the form.
So I select all the controls, delete them, create the new Groupbox, paste the deleted controls back and all looks OK. However, all the controls have now become "detached" from their associated events. The events still exist in code and the controls still retain all their properties but the controls no longer function.
Is there a way to "refresh" the project so that the controls are re-attached to their events or do I have to go through each control and do it manually?
I want to use the following snippit.
For Each x As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf x Is CustomControl Then

The problem here is that not all controls have event CustomEventofCustomControl, so the complier shrieks. How do I get around this.
I'm writing a program in vb.net 2003 and have come up with a problem.
I have a sub SettingsSave() in a module.
Public Sub SettingsSave()
Dim frmSaveSettings As New frmSettings
MsgBox frmSaveSettings.txtName.Value 'for testing purposes
SaveSetting("MyApp", "configs", "Name",frmSaveSettings.txtName.Value)
SaveSetting("MyApp", "configs", "Pass",frmSaveSettings.txtPass.Value)
End Sub
I have a form frmSettings, which has a button btnSave. When the button is clicked, SettingsSave() is called.The problem is, if btnSave is clicked, then either of the two textbox values are changed, then btnSave is clicked again, the SettingsSave() sub still returns the 'old' values (from the first time the save button was clicked).How do I clear the old values from memory? I've tried adding frmSaveSettings = Nothing, and frmSaveSettings.Close at the end of the sub SettingsSave().

CMSs allow us to make new pages and add our controls then save them..
View 1 RepliesHow to define handler events for dynamic controls.
View 3 RepliesI have a form with 2 contols that I with to connect by drawing a "wire" on the screen. It goes like this: you mouse down on the first control then move the mouse while holding the mouse button down. When the mouse is over the 2nd control the mouse button is released and the controls are wired.
So I am playing with mouseup, down, move, etc. When the mouse is over the first control I get mouse moves from that control, but when it moves off the events stop, and I get no events from the form even though the mouse is there.
Is there a way to do this? I have seen it done in a Java app. I could brute force it and just draw a box on the form instead of a control, but that sounds like a step back.
Handling Events For An Array Of Controls
View 3 RepliesI made a custom control for my form. It's basically a custom button I made using a label.The only problem is, when I apply a myButton_Click event to the control in my main form, it will only be triggered if the control itself is clicked. The label takes up the entire form (it's docked inside it). The click event isn't triggered when the control (virtually the label) is clicked. You must click behind the label (the form's background) for the event to be triggered. How can I pass the myButton_Click event to the label so it is triggered when the label is clicked? I hope I'm making sense.
View 9 RepliesI have a Sub Routine in a module to iterate controls on a form. I get an error about an instance of the object not created.I have declared the object and set it to the form (ModelsBox = Me). I have done this between two forms previously.

Im curently writing an app for windows mobile (so its using the compact .net framework)It has a loop which finds out how many images are in a folder, makes a picturebox for each one, then sets the .image property to the appropriate image. It also adds the name, size, location etc.What I dont know how to do is add a mouseclick event to it?I probably would have a subroutine already written in the code which could be used, or would it have to be a new one made for each picturebox?
View 1 RepliesI have this issue where I'm trying to generate HTML to display on the page that is coming from the database in form of a template that has different curly brackets that get replaced with dynamic content at run time. For example curly bracket {Content} gets replaced with a few checkboxlists, radiobuttonlists, textboxes and a submit button. The way I'm doing this is by creating controls dynamically and rendering them as string and then outputting that string to the browser. But what this does is, it doesn't recognise the events assigned to the controls when they are generated. I may be taking a wrong approach to the issue, but I don't really see how else this can be achieved. I have put up some sample code below to show what I'm trying to achieve.

View 3 RepliesI've a control that throws an exception in one of its events and I need to catch this exception. How can I do this?
Example:

' TODO: Deal with this reason message
Throw New ArgumentException(e.sText)

I want to catch this exception from another procedure when it happens.
I like to build objects that contain properties and also functions / subs to do work. I dont have a lot of other programmers around me to answer this question so I thought id ask. If my goal is to make a function or even sub part of a class blue print is it better to do it by making a seperate class for the function, and then construct a new copy of the classFunction as a property of the parent class or is it better to simply put the function in the parent class.

I had been searching as to how I could create an array of controls dynamically, and after some searching found some helpful code as shown below [code]This way in the above code "structureComboBoxes" will have an array of comboBoxes (VB6.0 was way easy to get this crap done!! I guess its cleaner here)Now my next problem is How do i code for events of each of these combo boxes?
View 6 RepliesI found this mystifying in VB6 and it's still here...
For example - I have a combobox on a form and I have put some code in its SelectedIndexChanged event. The problem is that I want this code to be executed *only* when the user clicks on an item in the combobox dropdown. Why is it then that it gets executed when the form first loads? And how do I stop this happening?
I used to use a "FormLoading" boolean to decide whether or not the code was executed but this surely shouldn't be necessary. Is there a better way?
I have VB 2008 Express and I am also new to VB. My problem is I cannot find any assistance with creating an Event that is attached to a Control that I inserted on a dynamically creeated TabPage. I call the "create_tab" sub (below) that creates a New TabPage and add some Controls (Button, two textboxes). Now, that I have the TabPage (and there could be multiple), I want to bind an Event to these items. So when a user Clicks on the Button in TabPage1, for example, a Sub executes where I can manipulate the data contents of the textboxes. Here's My code that creates the tabpages dynamically.

I have created a simple custom control - we will call it a "panel with buttons". Here is how I instantiate it:
[Code]....
So what I wind up with are multiple instances of my panel. Each of these panels has a button on it called Button1.
My question is - how do I capture this button event in a way that I will know which panel index it came from?
In the custom control there is only the Button1_click event - and when I click on it in any of the multiple panels I manually instantiated the event does occur, but how I can tell which one of my instantiated buttons were clicked...
Let's say I cut a tab control with buttons on it and paste it into a Panel control. After doing this, all my control events are being unlinked from the event code. I have to manually relink all the events in the Properties window. Is there any way round this?
View 15 RepliesI am trying to make a small control that has a picturebox and a few labels that can be dragged on the form it is placed on. The control was easy, and I can drag it fine when the mouse is down on the control, where there are no other controls, like not over the picturebox or labels.
When i try to click and drag the user-control and the mouse is on the picture box or labels of the control the mouse down event is not detected. I am hoping someone can tell me how to pass the mouse-down event from the controls on the user-control so the form I place it on detects the mouse down even no matter where on the control i click.

There is newer code in a follow up post. I suggest using the code in the later post rather than the code in this one. You can still read this post though. When designing a user interface, one should be conscious of how many individual controls are required to implement the functionality. In some cases an initial design may begin with many buttons or textboxes (for example) but then further review of
the actual required functionality allows for a reduction in the number of unique controls.
But other times, there isn't a better way (which will still make sense to the user of the application) then to have a series of many repeated controls. So in the cases where one can be certain that the best UI implementation for an application will require the use of multiple copies of a given control, then it often becomes necessary to maintain some method of managing all of those controls at various points
throughout the application. Doing so typically requires that one build up some collection of controls which can then be accessed by index in order to work with any given control; but this can lead to a lot of clutter in the code file which handles these control's events. For instance there will be some kind of collection declaration, some recursive routine to find all of the controls of interest, and then any number of event handler methods with long lists of Handles clauses, or additional code loops to wire up the event handling for each control.
Purpose Since most of this functionality could be considered a requirement regardless of the type of control being managed, or its required functionality, it may make sense to wrap all of the control management functionality into a single class. And since our first requirement is a collection of controls, then a base collection class could be the perfect starting point for our control manager. There are a number of existing thread around this topic, with some recent (at the time of this writing) ones being:[URL]..In this, and related, threads I have posted examples of a simple TextBoxManager and ButtonManager control. But again, with so much similar functionality required regardless of the control being managed, it would be technically possible to create a generic ControlManager(Of T As Control) class which can manage any type of control.
[Code]...
So in summary, one can facilitate managing a large number of user interface controls by building a "control manager" class which both encapsulates the list of control instances, and deals with adding and removing defined event handlers for every control it manages. The generic control manager class itself can be inherited and extended into a more specific class on a per-application basis in order to provide more application-specific functionality.
