View 3 Repliesi have made a program that needs a password to activate it but i would like it to look for a text file in the same directory called "password.text" as it will alow me to change the password.
[Code]...
I'm trying to create a password change form for my company's vendors. There are a couple of scenarios I could encounter doing this:
1 - User enters invalid current password
2 - New passwords do not match
3 - User's account is locked
4 - User cannot authenticate because password is expired
It's case 4 that I'm struggling with, because their is no way for me to take the password the user entered and verify it against active directory without getting an error.
How do you get a textbox being using for password entry to display the black circle that you often see in web forms, on the iphone etc etc?
I can change the PasswordChar property to an asterisk no problem and even copying and pasting symbols inserted into Word seemed to work - just couldn't find a symbol that looked like a bullet point!
Can this actually be achieved for a standalone exe, or is it something unique to web forms? Surely copying and pasting symbols from Word isn't actually the answer?
I cant seem to find any link or topic regarding my problem. I have 2 forms in a project, form one has labels and adjacent combobox while the other form (form 2)has textboxes with adjacent combobox. I am supposed to change the text property of the labels using textbox entry from form 2 and add/delete/change combobox contents in fom 1 using entries combobox at form 2.

View 1 RepliesI'm making a custom control suited for handling passwords. I have created a control that inherits from a text box and I have implemented a lot of things so far. But what i want to do now is create a system so that when a user types It will display his last character typed for a X amount of time.Is there a way to turn only selected characters into password characters and still be able to get the password text from the Text property ?
View 3 RepliesI am using Visual Basic 2008 I am trying to capitalize words in a text box. I am using the following code (which, in case you don't recognize it, came from an example which I modified):
Public Sub FuncKeysModule(ByVal value As Keys)
'Check what function key is in a pressed state, and then perform the corresponding action.
Select Case value
[code]....
In the application, I select a word in the textbox then hit F2. The text is pulled from the textbox, I manage to change the first letter to a capital letter BUT I cannot change the textbox.I already set the ReadOnly property of the textbox to False when I initialized the textbox. It looks like the Replace function does not work.
I am having a problem changing the text color of a textbox in vb I know that changing is like this
Textbox.ForeColor = Color.Red
when I do this it doesn't change anything still gives me the same black color . Also can it be because it in read only or is there some wrong with visual studio or My project
This is the code I have, but it doesn't work, does anyone know how to change the colour like I'm trying to do.
'If the text is changed
Private Sub htmledit_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles htmledit.TextChanged

View 2 RepliesI have a read-only textbox named txtStartDate in which when the user clicks, a calendarextender will appear and the user can select a date.
Now I have another textbox, txtEndDate, which should automatically change whent the user changes the value in txtStartDate.
But the problem is, the TextChanged event will not work since no postback will occur. When I tried to set the autopostback property to true, I receive a jquery error so I decided no to go with it.
I am using this in my popup usercontrol. Is there a way in which I can trigger a postback so that I can get to change my txtEndDate when the value in txtStartDate changes or when the user clicks on the calendarextender?
I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (not sure on the differences of each version) Ive googled and looked all over. I dont like asking people to code everything out for me, but ive spent too many hours trying to figure out how to solve something that seems so simple.
[Code]...
For some sort of reason, which I can't seem to spot, this fails and I get a #Name? error. When I tried to do this, I use pretty much the same code in another place in my form; the only difference is the "cbo" and the names of my txt and alike.
[code]...
Can anyone spot my error? What I wish the code would do is when I Select something in my cboVarenummer, the TextBox txtVarenavn changes its text to what the sql statement returns.

Private Sub txtDelay_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtDelay.TextChanged
If txtDelay.Text <= "0" Then
MessageBox.Show("Delay must be atleast 1 millisecond.", "Delay Error")
End If
End Sub

View 4 RepliesI got a Sub which processes a code, and then it does whatever the code said. Example.
Code = "Black" -> Turns screen black.
Code = "OFF" -> Turns off the PC.
And so on.
If I call that Sub from Immediate console, It works perfectly. But if that Sub is called from an event, It does nothing, and usually throws an Exception. I read somewhere that I can fix this by using Threads, but I don't understand how that can help and make it work.
