The code below grabs the screen region ok.

View 1 RepliesHow can I combine specialized string collections so that I can accomplish this :
-Save all the tab's texts from a tabcontrol
-Save contents of the tabs : eg.Every tab contains a label and I save the text of each label
And the real problem:
-Loading them when the program opens
I have made some thoughts about saving them, but not about loading them
setting.TabNames.Clear()
setting.TabLabels.Clear()
For Each item As TabPage In TabControl1.TabPages
Dim name As String = item.Text
setting.TabNames.Add(name)

View 5 RepliesI currently have a program that I made which opens other apps packaged with an installer. I have set the installer to install everything to the Program Files folder. However, not all computers have a C: hard drive. I have a way in which they can enter their drive letter in one form then in the next form it remembers the drive and will take them to the program. The problem is my program stores the drive letter in an xml file. On the startup of the program it looks in the xml file to find the drive letter, if there is no drive letter the form opens then lets the user set his drive letter. The xml file is stored in the folder "Math Wizard" in the Program Files folder. But if not all computers have C:Program Files I need a shortcut to the program files folder. I have been trying to use %ProgramFiles% (%Program Files% + "Math Wizardconfig.xml") but vb is saying that the % is an invalid character. Here's my code:

I'm developing the program which opens files/programs that I have selected and checked with checkbox1, 2 and 3(i haven't coded the tihrd one yet, but it doesn't affect). The first program runs instantly and others run after X interval if it's wrote in textbox4 and checked by checkbox4. So Checkbox is like an activator for this interval. If checkbox4 isn't checked then every program should run instantly. The problem is that checkbox4 isn't doing a job. Program activates the interval if there are somekind of numbers in textbox4. It doen't matter that is the checkbox4 checked or not.

im slightly new to VB, i was wondering how I make the program check a file for an update, i kknow there is an option in the app settings, but when I go on it it doesnt recognize .vb or .exe files to check from.
If i uploaded updates to a server, how would It check that for updates? and what file type would i need to upload it as?
I was wondering if it would be possible to check the file size of a .exe on a website and see if it's greater than or less than the program running it?
