I have a main form that has a dynamically generated treeview and also a panel control. Depending on the selection made within the treeview the panel docks 1 of three diffrent usercontrols which are full sub forms(done for ease of modifing design of sub form rather than layering panels on top of panels).Upon button click withing usercontrol i wish to trigger event within main form.For example delete button wich then triggers to remove current selected node from treeview. code for 1 of three diffrent user controls
Dim ctrlQ As New QuoteUC(TrViewQuotation.SelectedNode)
PnlSubFormDock1.Controls.Add(ctrlQ)
Code for delete button for which i need to raise event.
If MsgBox("Are you sure you wish to delete this customer ?", vbYesNo, "Delete Record") = vbYes Then
Deletecustomer(n)
End If

View 39 RepliesI am designing a program that will show a reminder form when the computer is shutting down. (The reminder is to go outside and get the Bluetooth gps aerial.) I have tried using the formclosing event, (triggered by windows shutting down) to flash the form up on the screen using windowstate = normal. (At loading, the form windowstate = minimised). This did not halt windows shut down and the form was only on the screen for a fraction of a second before windows shut down. Can I trap windows shutdown until the form btn_Yes has been selected?

I have looked at the enumprocess api, but this is quite a bit outside my current knowledge level. From what I have read, enumprocess would be suitable as we all run the same program on our laptops and I could check for the change of state of that program. Eg. �OK, program A is closing, the computer must be about to shutdown, so flash up the reminder form.�
I have an Inherited Control with a Property that can be set in the designer. There's some code in the Set procedure to make sure it's set appropriately. However when I build or run the project that property is changed, I am assuming it's the sanity check code in the Set procedure that's causing it to be changed along with some VS beahviour. Here's the code:

View 1 Repliesi have to develop a software for motorola mc9090 that reads barcodes and rfids simultaneously, so i need to catch two different triggers: the one on the keyboard for barcodes and the other in the backside for rfids.the problem is that i didn't find any sample that illustrates how to set the trigger to read only barcodes, i found something on emdk 2.5 samples that shows how to set the trigger to read rfids but nothing for barcodes. So when i press any trigger the barcode reader is always enabled with rfids reader.Does exist a way to manage them with separated triggers?

View 3 RepliesI have this code in my ViewProductsInventory (which is called from my MainForm by ShowDialog):
Private Sub ViewProductsInventory_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Tb_inventory_datesTableAdapter.Fill(Me.InventorySysDataSet.tb_inventory_dates)
Dim inventory_date As Date
inventory_date = Me.cboInventoryDate.Text
[Code] .....
Upon clicking the editbutton will execute EditForm.ShowDialog()
And in my EditForm the record will be updated, after which will trigger ViewProductsInventory.btnSearch_Click( ViewProductsInventory.btnSearch, EventArgs.Empty)
And then the error "Conversion from string "" to type 'Date' is not valid" occurs.
I tried Msgbox(Me.cboInventoryDate.Text) and returns nothing. I'm assuming that my cboInventoryDate is not being populated at this time therefore when btnSearch_Click is triggered it receives nothing.
Every time I modify something on a form (add or delete controls , modify their colors etc) , when I debug the program (with the Play button), I get a message saying: The file C:........MyForm.vb cannot be modified at this time .
Why is this happening? I have noticed that the only way to bypass this problem is to save before debugging , but that is not convenient because I don't want to save something that I haven't decided yet. One more thing that I have observed is that this only happens in projects that have been created with the Upgrade Wizard (from VB6). This never happens in new projects. Does anyone know why is this happening ?

View 5 RepliesI've been playing with VB.NET for a couple days now, and I was looking into key input controls, now I've managed to have it react to keyboard buttons being pushed inside the main form (wasn't hard), where it counts total amount of keys pushed, not what keys are pushed etc.
What I'm having a harder time is finding a way to have this same functionality even if the form isn't active (for example when minimized to the system tray). I did find a similar question on these boards, but it was regarding hotkeys and that user was just referenced to the hotkey API, which is not what I am aiming for.

View 2 RepliesSuppose I have a label control on a windows form called "UserName". How can I refer to that label programmatically using the label name? For example I can do:
For each ctrl as Control in TabPage.Controls
If ctrl.Name = "UserName" Then

This seems quite inefficient. I would like to do something like: TabPage.Controls("UserName").Text = "Something" I did some googling but couldn't find a satisfactory answer. Most suggested looping, some said .NET 2005 doesn't support direct refenece using string name, and FindControl method was asp.net only...

I am creating one application using visual basic.net and sqlce I have two forms name Form1 and Form2.
I used Form1 to add data to database using OLeDb command I used Form2 to show data in datagridview by using dataset[code]...
Form2 Datagridview show the old data only, it do not show the recently added data by form1. I mean when I build my application datagridview show the data which is already in the database, but it does not show the data which is added by the form1 during run time.
Some one suggested me to fill the datagridview at run time by using OLeDB command. Then I created Form3 to fill the datagridview2 by using OLedb command and datareader and found that Form3 shows the recently(added by Form1 at run time) added data.

For a small project I need the possibility to "trigger" a function in a Window-form-application from a Service. So there are 2 program's. One is the visible Form application with textboxes and buttons and so on... The other is a sort of service program that runs on the Windows Service account.
Actually the second program is a command-line tool that gets fired by a PHP script from the Apache server. Because the command-line tool runs in another "environment" then the Windows-form-App, it is NOT possible to communicate (trigger) with both apps.
I know I have to use IPC (InterProcess Communication) and I have download the dozens of sample apps, but I still can't get it to work.
PLEASE can someone give me some sample code, or perhaps sample program(s) to help me out?
I think it's really easy to build what I want, but for me it's a no-go :-(
So for example it has to work like this:
PHP script (running at Apache server) runs a "console/service" app (already working) which "triggers" (via IPC) a already running Windows-Form-app (also already working app) that for example shows a MsgBox with the text in it that is sended by the "console/service" app.
how to trigger a refresh on a form when an update occurs in my business logic.
This isn't an issue for 95% of my forms because they call the update from the form that needs to be updated. However, In some cases an inner form does and update that requires an outer form to reflect this. I've read about Handles, Delegates, AddressOf etc etc and I'm drowning in options.
In simple terms, I need three things to happen
1. Form2 (inner form) has updated info, so the user clicks Save
2. Save calls my Data Access Layer and updates the database
3. Form1 (outer form) has a DataGrid that needs to be notified so it can update via a Sub LoadGrid
It's stage 3 I can't do. How do I trigger a Sub in Form2 (LoadGrid) to do the refresh from an external class.
