View 14 RepliesI've been googling, testing, etc for a couple hours and I'm right where I started off. the vb.net tab control sucks... Does anyone have an tips or code to make it so when I select a tab the font color changes OR it just makes the tab heading text bold?I've messed around with the draw commands and while that does work, it draws the borders/backgrounds so they are very old / outdated looking.This is basically for a simple tab text editor I'm working on when a textbox in the control changes I can update the associated tab with either a red font or just bold it to indicate the textbox on that tab is modified. I've definitely be open for alternative tab controls as long as they are free and come with a vb.net example :)
This is in vb.net 2008 express
I have made a little application for me and my friend to be able to chat with eachother, but now we have some unclear strings as you can see on the image below:
I would like to change for example the username or time date to a color or make it bold, could anyone tell me how to change ONLY that and not everything? I'd love to have such a thing as it makes the whole application way 'clearer'.
I am throwing some data out into Excel and am having some formatting troubles. I have 5 columns (date, time, a long number I don't want displayed in scientific notation - text is fine, text, text). I can get it all working with numberformat, however I have to do them different ways.
Date works this way cell.numberformat = "m/d/yy" and it formats it to say 3/1/11
Time works this way cell.numberformat = "h:mm AM/PM" and it formats it to say 8:07 AM
For the long number cell.numberformat = "@" and it doesn't change the format and it gets displayed in scientific notation
BUT if I use cell.style.numberformat = "@" it works as it should, but it messes up all of the date and time cells. Apparently when you use style.numberformat, it doesn't just apply to the cell you're working with. If I try using style.numberformat with the date and time formats, they don't change and are entered as if I didn't change the format at all.

I have a listbox with several items in the list. I would like to bind the selected list item to a field in a table. How do I do this?
View 7 RepliesWhat I have is a listbox and a text box. I want to be able to select the items in the listbox (selection mode is set to multiextended). The problem is
Dim path As String = ListBox2.SelectedItem & " " & ListBox1.SelectedItem & ".txt"
'the line above creates a path with the title of an item from listbox2 + listbox1 and adds the .txt extension.
For Each item In ListBox3.SelectedItems
TextBox1.Text = item
Next
'this just makes it do nothing.
I have also tried diffrent methods to export an item title to a text file. for example I tried:
Dim path As String = ListBox2.SelectedItem & " " & ListBox1.SelectedItem & ".txt"
For Each item In ListBox3.SelectedItems
File.CreateText(path)
Next
'this just gives me a IO exception
It does create a file but it does not contain anything.
Mi'm working with a list box usually when i want to get the selected items i write something like this

it seems that the item is the datarow and i can not get the actual selected items

I was writing a program that would save the contents of a listbox to a database and wanted to reload the users' choices when the opened up that particular row again. My first thought was to do it with two for loops, just as I used to do in VB6, but I thought there must be a better way to do it. And there was. Sort of. It basically involves using the SelectedObjectCollection class.For this demo, you'll need a listbox called Listbox1. Set selection mode to something other than "One" or else it won't work as expected
Dim items(0 To 3) As String
items(0) = "One"

I want to transfer multiple items selected from a listbox to an access 2007 database using a parameterized query.When I select certain items from the listbox, only first item selected gets stored in the database.Other values selected are not written to the database.My code is as follows.Is my approach towards transferring multiple values correct?Someone

I have a listbox populated with items which are the numbers 0-10. I need to know how to make the app transfer the selected items into 3 separate text boxes. First it should total the the cumulative values of the selected numbers & place that value into the 1st box. Then is should list the total number of items selected from the listbox & place that number into the 2nd box. And finally it should give me an average of the selected items, now this part I've got down, as I can input the first 2 numbers manually into the boxes & will get a correct response in the 3rd text box.
Here's what I have thus far on my code,
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

I want to retrieve the selected items in a listbox, save them to a collection, and then use that collection later. I thought that was simple enough, but when I clear the selected items in the listbox, my collections (items, indices) change. I found this out by stepping through the code.
Basically what I'm wanting to do is move items in the listbox up or down (up in this case), and still keep them selected.
