I have three text boxes in a winform (.net 1.1).
I am expecting the user to type in a positive number or just to leave it as zero (default).
Is there a way that I can check that the user has typed in a number rathet than letters.
As I am coding it in VB.NET, I would prefer it if any answers where in VB style rather than C# or C++.
What is the code for ignoring the case of an entry while checking to see if the entry is correct or not... (i.e. in a flashcard program... given definition, asks for the name) I don't want the case of a character to affect whether the answer is correct or not.
View 2 RepliesI have an installer for my application that makes changes to the registry for better application performance However, depending on the language of the operating system installed this input need changes For example (which is the case itself) Systems in Portuguese the entry is called (Padrao)Systems in English the entry is called (Default) I know I have I change the property "Condition" of the entry I created but I do not know what I have to write in this "Condition" I write within this property to validate that The system is in English or The system is in Portuguese I plan to put the project set two registry entries, one that will be done on systems with English language and other entry in systems with Portuguese language?
View 1 RepliesHow you might construct an array like the following: one column or entry would be a single integer, like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4... - i need this as an index of each one's position in the list the second would be 0 or 1, or true or false the third would itself be a list of integers 0,4,5,2,7,2,5,2...
So all together one entry would be {0; 0; 0,4,5,2,7,2,5,2} while the next might be {1; 0; 6,8,2,5,2,3}
I'm having a terrible time wrapping my head around this. It's mostly the third column which is actually a list in itself, that is giving me trouble

Back on my form with a ton of financial data entry textboxes but I want to have the data formatted at runtime, as I enter the data.I have a format declared as Public Const cFmtCurrency = "##,###,###" ' don't need decimal for the local China currency What would be the least compicated way to have these textboxes (19 of them) format the Long Integer values as I enter the data. I think a Lost Focus event would be silly; there must be a better, more efficient way.Also want to use this format when I retreive records from the db (don't see a reason to mask data in db)
View 7 RepliesI've got a program and what I need is for a Timer (running in a different thread) to constantly be checking a TextBox for an entry that is similar to:Quote"(PlayerName)" has joined the server.Where (PlayerName) would be replaced with the players name in the TextBox. What I would need the TextBox to do after it has found this entry is to add (PlayerName) to a listbox. If someone can help me out this far then I can use the same code to get it to remove the player when they leave.Below is a picture of what it should look like inside the program.
View 3 RepliesOkay, that snippet made the file I was trying to open in the %USERNAME%AppDataLocal folder worked perfectly, again, many thanks - But now I'm 3/4 of the way through my program, and I've hit a wall - I have the exact same program I made in VB6, and it works to perfection, but I am TRYING to switch over to .NET, and am finding a lot of difficulties in getting certain things to work - My biggest headache right now [ Which is basically the finishing of my program ] is a bit hard to explain, so this may be a rather long post: One of my programs that I use to keep track of my Music hard drive outputs to an XML file, in which there is one line I would like to be able to 'Replace' through the program I am making now to a different user-defined string, and close [ Applying string change/save ] the XML file. I have my Main Form, a TextBox1 [ I can't get the XML to open in a ListBox like I wanted ], TextBox2, a 'Locate String' Button, a 'Modify' Button, and an Exit Button. I open the XML file with this in my Form1_Load event into my TextBox1:[code]
The <DateValue> is the line I want to be able to modify [ Which the entire string looks like this: <DateValue>2010-04-10T10:00:03.5009756-04:00 </DateValue>, and I want to be able to change the date and time to whatever the user specifies ], which once the XML is loaded into TextBox1, when the 'Modify' Button is clicked, that string is then loaded into TextBox2... This is where I am lost - How can I apply the modified string to the TextBox1.Text [ Entire XML file ], and save it upon program end, without the rest of the XML lines being disturbed? I realized I needed another Button - The 'Modify' Button now loads the selected string into TextBox2, and I have a 3rd Button to 'Apply Modification', which I want to update the <DateValue> string in the TextBox1 [ Full XML file ] from the modified string in TextBox2, then save on exit - Hope this helped clarify things.So here's the routine:
1. Form loads, opening the XML file, and loading it into TextBox1.
2. User clicks 'Modify' Button to load searched string into TextBox2.
3. User modifies TextBox2 entry.
4. User clicks 'Apply Modification' Button, which changes the searched string in TextBox1 to the modified user-defined string.
5. User clicks 'Exit', which saves the XML changes from TextBox1 [ Without messing up the XML file format ], and the program ends.

View 2 Repliesi am pulling together a cash register that will allow both bar code product entry and manual key entry.imagine if you have a tin of beans in front of you, in a small corner shop they would probably type "47" and then hit "Produce". Fairly straight forward as I have the button Produce to act upon my code and update my salestrans.mdb but,if you scan the bar code I want the same form to handle both 'real' actions, (i assume that keyboard emulation barcode scanner includes "ENTER" after providing 13 digits)....
Q. in perhaps a long winded way i want to know how to kick off an event based on the "ENTER" key being activiated by the barcode scanner)?i do not want to have to hit any buttons if i am scanning bar codes.

I am trying to make a program with a bar code reader for the first time. I am programming with VB 2005. I want to differentiate a bar code entry to keyboard entry. My questions:
1. Does bar code reader generate a keydown (or keypress) event for each of the digits of the entry? For example, if the barcode read: 1234567890, does that mean that there will be 10 keydown (or keypress) events for that single barcode that was read?
2. I have read from the posts that the best way to differentiating keyboard vs bar code input is to analyse the time between keystroke (for less than certain number of milliseconds).
I need to write a program in VB 2008 express that takes an user entry from a textbox and strips out all the spaces, changes it to either all upper case or all lower case then checks to see if it is a palindrome. I must also include a loop structure and a decision structure. I have seen bits and pieces of code but I do not really know how to put them together. Basically I need it from the button click to the end. ?

best way to check if a textbox has only 4 numbers and isNumeric, for example i need to enter postcodes.I currently have:
If CDbl(txtPostcode.Text) <> 4 Or Not IsNumeric(txtPostcode) Then
MessageBox.Show("Postcode must be 4 Digits", "Error")
But the message box comes up regardless of whether there is 4 numbers, letters, or anything in the textbox. Its also used in the leave function of the textbox.
How I can check when someone uses the standard paste function via rightmouseclick? I want to check something before the text can be pasted.
View 3 RepliesI have been trying to check if a user has input a specific time format into a textbox.For example
1- User enters time in hhmm format
2- Checks the input
3- If wrong, MessageBox.Show("Need hh:mm time format")
I have only used IF statement with IsNumeric to check for number input but was unsuccessful with various attempts I can think of for checking a time format as I need Option Strict On and have the following error: Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'String' to 'Date'.Is there a way to like check if the hh:mm has the ":" separator too?
