I'm learning how to use visual basic and come from a background in Java. In Java I use the swing class to build my interface and code all of it. Is there a way to do this with visual basic, or is the designer the only way to create an interface?

View 3 RepliesI'm working on a design project where I have to use a Graphical User Interface that contains a drag and drop form. It consists of having a window dropped on a wall. Both of them are images to scale. I would like to know what kind of code I would have to use to show the x and y coordinates of one of the points of my window when dragged so when I drop it, I'm dropping in it on the desired coordinate of the wall.

The section which says 'Find first free row from A21' up to'Cells(r, 4).Value = Me.txtQty2.Value' (highlighted in bold) is where I need help. I currently have 3 combo-boxes called 'cboProduct, cboProduct2 andcboproduct3' and next to each one of them I have a textbox called 'txtQty1,txtQty2 and txtQty3'. I am trying to get the first combo-box to find the first free row starting from A21 and go to cell B21 and the first textbox to go to D21. For the second combo-box to find a free row from A21 and go to B22 if B21 is used and the same applies to the textbox , if D21 is used to go D22.This also applies for the third combo-box and text box. However my coding doesn't work.
I have an interface class (IUser) which is the interface of class User. Now, i want to put these into an IList but am confused as to how i should declare the IList:Dim userList As IList(Of IUser) = New List(Of IUser) Dim userList As IList(Of User) = New List(Of User) Dim userList As IList(Of IUser) = New List(Of User) Dim userList As IList(Of User) = New List(Of IUser) when instantiating should you always use its implementation; and when using it as a type use its interface?
And when im creating a new user should i use: Dim myUser as IUser = new User?
I want input from user and when he click on view report button report should come in report viewer. May be my design is not good but my aspect is to design a user interface so that user should able to pass parameter in all the ways and get desired report.

1. i have added a Checkboxes dialog, i have 3 checkboxes they are used to select upon 3 tools to be installed, so during the progress of the instilation, how should i let the project know which of the 3 tools was selected ? (i hope i was clear)
2. a bit of silly question - is it possible to edit something in a dialog ? like in my case in the "finished" dialog my customer didnt like the the end button is named "close" and he wants it to be named "Finish"
finally, this is an extra non programing but it would be good if i was able to find an answere :P, when i plug a USB in the computer it opens the autoplay, and i have my instilation file in the USB (it will be distributed on a USB rather than a CD), so i want to add to the autoplay a button that runs the instilation file

View 2 RepliesI have a generic question regarding file paths and user interfaces. I am trying to build a user-interface to accommodate various file locations. I typically build interfaces which deal with files on drives. As such, I use a directory tree for this. I usually work with files on local drives. However if I wanted to ensure that all file locations were dealt with I would want to ensure that I was accommodating files in all drives (local, network, mappped etc.). I am assuming that the treeview would support all of these drive option.
However if the files are on a sharepoint site or in some other type of enterprise content system, then am I correct to assume that these file paths will be URLs? If so, then am I correct to assume that a directory tree is not the correct control to use for these locations? Should I be providing a textbox to the user and prompting them to enter this URL? Or is it better to have the URL loaded into a ListView or ListBox (i.e. "My Connections") and then provide these as options via a dropdown box. I am trying to picture a typical user interface. Is it a directory tree AND a text box/dropdown box.
Basically the question is, Why are NONE of the changes I've been making in the designer reflecting on the program when it runs ?'none' is in bold because I've tried moving everything around and nothing seems to be affecting it, it's like it's reading from a different design file, I tried reloading the project and that did nothing, and none of my code affects position of any items on the form (way too much to post it all)

View 4 RepliesI have to develop a software able to perform some scientific calculations in the field mechanical engineer; to be more precise, this software must be able to predict the torsional vibration behaviour of crankhsfts and drive-trains.To build my model I need a library of pre-configured elements (organised in a toolbox), that I can drag&drop in my working area and then link together properly to build the model itself.Also the load cases and the input data should be organised in a toolbox as pre-configured elements that I can chose and fill-in accordingly.Here my questions:
1. how can I develop such a toolbox?
2. how can I develop my working area?
Many commercial software are organised like that but I have no idea how to do it.
In fact, the process is being written into a library to be pulled in from other applications. However, how do I provide a way for a WinForm to subscribe to the process to update as the process gets executed? I've open this question from both VBA/VB6 and .Net because its part of the gamut for UI development.It's also worth mentioning that these are subroutines and not classes that are running the methods, so event raising appears to be out of the question.[code]

View 2 RepliesI am working on a sports management game and have already received some terrific help here with some XNA stuff. I now need some help for the user interface though. This game is very menu-centric, with loads of stats and tables and such. It is therefore paramount to get it right!
So far I have been doing all of the work on my 24" monitor at 1920x1080. Whilst the form is 1920x1080, the menu fits within a 1280x1024 top left region of the form. When I run the game on my other computer, which has a 19" monitor at 1280x1024, I was expecting a large chunk of the form to be cut off but the menu to be all visible. Well, it is all visible but things screw up. Different controls will overlap and such. I'm using Krypton Components for most of the UI and some of the text boxes seem to shrink vertically so you can only see less than half of the text. I have no idea why, they won't all do it.

Currently, I am using a VB.NET to generate an interface for the user to update parameter of a PCB board MCU. However, I found that some data might be having a problem while transmitting.
Previously, I am using a chrW() to change the transmit data before put into the MyRS232.Write(), however, some data have corrupted or changed while I transmit. The signal show the checksum is wrong while sending the set of data.
After I use an oscilloscope to check the signal transmitted. I found out that, when I sent the data is between &H80 to &H9F (&b 100* ****), the signal will change to &H3E (&b 0011 1111). Anyone have any idea why this happened? Now the temporary solution I found for this one is I use a chr() instead of chrW() for the data between &H80 to &H9F.

I am using another function ChrWt instead of Chr or ChrW only. I remember that, I change from Chr to ChrW because some data corrupt also while I sent using Chr only. Did anyone of you having this problem as well? Any suggestion instead of using another function?
