ComboBox + Enter = Ding - Created A New Separate Class Within Project
Jun 21, 2010
I didn't think this would be a problem, but it appears that others also search for this solution. There is an annoying DING! when hitting the Enter key in a ComboBox in VB.Net so I sought solutions. Here is the solution I am working with. I created a new seperate Class within my Project...
Public Class ClasscboBox
Inherits ComboBox
[CODE]...
Looks good, but I am having a problem calling it from the main project. Here is what I have tried using...
Dim objcboBox As New ClasscboBox
objcboBox.OnKeyPress(KeyPressEventArgs)
However, it says thatKeyPressEventArgs is a Type and cannot be used as an Expression. I tried 'e' but no go. I am a little ahead of my classes (no pun intended) so I am likely missing something about what I am doing wrong.
I have three comboboxes so I though this would best suit my needs in the interests of writting decent code and not populating each call with repeating code.
I use a single line textbox. Multiline is not suitable for my aplication. I add key press and key down both events and in that i already write e.handle=true but ding is still there how can i stop it?
Imports System.Threading Public Class TestClass Private myClassThread As New Thread(AddressOf StartMyClassThread)
[code]....
The result:Application runs, no errors or exceptions.Displayed is the listbox and the Start button.I press the start button and a msgbox says "Not Invoked" as expected and upon clicking OK to that msgbox "Start Button Pressed" is added to the Output listbox control.Immediately following that the msgbox pops up again and says "Not Invoked". I was expecting "Invoked" as a separate thread is trying to use the Output listbox control.Of course this results in the Output.Items.Add being attempted which results in no visible result as the thread is not allowed to directly update the UI control.
can someone please help me with a textbox? I have created a new class and require this textbox field within a sub in the new class but i get Error1 'TextBox1' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.I have tried MyClass.TextBox1 = Form1.TextBox1 but I get declaration expected.
I have a text box set up so when someone presses enter it performs a function, how can I disable the "Ding" sound that the computer makes when someone presses enter?
I have coded two seperate VB.net windows forms application as two seperate projects in seperate solutions. I now want to combine one project called "Reporting" into the other project called "AnalysisApp" and be able to call the Reporting apps main form.The Reporting app utilies a whole load of controls from DevExpress which are not included in the "AnalysisApp" I have added references in "AnalysisApp" to the DevEpress controls and also to the Reporting app, as well as combining the Reporting app into the same solution, but when I build the "AnalysisApp" it fails saying that it cannot find the DevExpress DLLs
How do I create separate files in a VB Express 2010 project?[code]...
Query 1: When creating class files, the VB Book by Loffelmann & Purohit (p 172) says, put the class in a class file that has the same name as the class. However, as shown, I want to have two or more related classes in this file. Do I need a separate file for each class? That would get cumbersome!
Query 2: Can I create a file similar to MyOutput.vb so that both MyModule and MyClass can include statements like[code]...
I'm pretty sure this is something super easy, but how do i access a resource that is in a separate project using the expression syntax?I thought it would be like so:
where SomeNamespace.Resources is the project that the resources are located in.
i normally just do <%= SomeNamespace.Resources.Web.PleaseSelectAnImage%> but i need to have this inside a control. <kw:SlickUpload ID="SlickUpload1" runat="server" ValidExtensions=".png, .gif, .jpg" InvalidExtensionMessage="<%$ Resources:SomeNamespace.Resources.Resources.Web, PleaseSelectAnImage %>" >
so when i just do what i normally do, it puts <%= SomeNamespace.Resources.Web.PleaseSelectAnImage%>" literally.my project name is SomeNamespace.Resources. the resource file name is Web. and the key is PleaseSelectAnImage.
I have a datagridview (datagridview1) on my form which onload displays all the records from the bindingsource (bindingsource1) via an sql connection to a table in sql server called "article".
I also have a combobox on the same form which displays the name column from the same "customer" table -
I would like to enable my combobox to filter the datagridview via itsSelectedIndexChanged event . So if custname "xxxone" is selected in the combobox then the datagrid shows only the results for custname "xxxone".
So far I have worked out how to enable the combobox to move to the position in the datagridview depending on which custnameis selected-
But this method still shows the other titles,it doesnt filter them out, it just points to the selected custname. I cannot find how to filter the datagridview so ONLY the selected custname is shown.
I will be changing the field names, I have used custname and custid just to describe what I am trying to do.
Good evening folks, I'm building a program that is threaded. While I can get the thread to work no problem, I can not seem to add pages to my tabcontrol from the class I'm using. Any idea's on what I'm doing wrong?frmMain is loaded first. Then the idea is to load the other tabpages using a separate thread as they take awhile.[code]
I don't want my application's main form to be displayed when it opens; I just want the notifyicon control in it to show in the taskbar.This is the code I have been using:
Module: Code: Module mdlStartup Public Sub Main()
[Code]...
The NotifyIcon control is in my frmMain. However, when I run my program I get mulitple instances of the Notify Icon being displayed. I even get two frmMains getting launched if I try clicking the other tray icon that has been made. I'm guessing this has to do with the New instance.If that's the problem, is there a way I can move the notifyicon control to some completely separate class?
The company I work for has a VB6 project that is using an ACCESS database.The project consists of seperate modules such as Accounts Payable, Payroll, General Ledger, and Inventory.At the current time each module is a seperate project in VB6 and the EXE files are called when needed.In total there are about 1300 forms in the project.We are moving from ACCESS to Sql Server and from VB6 to VB2008.The question that I (we) have is as follows; Should we continue to keep each module seperate and call the EXE's or should we create one large project?What are the pros and cons for each way?Is there something written that explains the advantages of either?
As I develop code, I often want to unit test some of the building blocks of a class even if they are normally private. If my unit tests are inside the project, I can use "Friend" to accomplish this and still keep the functions private for normal use. But I would rather move my NUnit tests into their own separate project(s). How do I achieve the effe vb.net 2005?
Im trying to get a ComboBox that would list all the pc on a netowrk, (Domain and/or WorkGroup)the idea is so that when i start typing the name of the pc list would come up with sugestions (nearest match)
I'm writing a program and rather than having all the print properties in the main form I'd like to have them setup in a seperate class. I've done printing before by setting all the properties in the form where all the controls are located with no problems but this has me stumped. Reason for doing this is just to try and organize the program a little better and there are several areas of the program that will have different data and format to print so this will cut down on having potentially hunderds if not a thousand lines in that one area. I can't imaging that this wouldn't be possible.

I'm working a business layer (separate assembly) that will contain various business entities used in multiple client applications. One of the client applications is a WCF app that will need to serialize these entities. In order to properly serialize the entities, metadata for data contracts or for XML serialization must be added, but the serialization requirements may vary across applications.
Clearly I need the metadata separated from the class definition. So how do I add metadata to my entities for each separate application?
I have a class, called myClass.vb. I have a sub in it. this sub has a string variable, which has got some value. Now, i want this value to be transferred to the button_click event of a very seperate form called myForm.vb.
I've been searching for the answer for a while but can't find it yet. Basically so far I have a simple VB.Net form with one button.I would like to make a class or module that can handle events from the main form. This is my code so far but it doesn't seem to work.
I have a project that was download from the net. It is a open source project.I can run without anyerror with IDE 2005. But i cannot enter the debug mode. I have set the project build to debug. But i cannt still enter to debug.I also got the following message when i run the project.The following module was built with optimizations enabled or without debug information :E:Project.exeTo debug this module, change its project build configuration to debug mode. To suppress this message, disable the "Warn inf no user code on launch" debugger option
I'm trying to get the 'Enter' key to behave like the tab key in a combobox control. I've placed the following code in the keypress event: If e.KeyChar = ToChar(Keys.Enter) Then NextTextBox.Focus()End If When ran, nothing happens. I've placed a break point at the 'private sub' line, and the code is not breaking. What am I doing wrong?
1. I type the first letter of the username i want in the combobox text area, the combobox drops down and shows me all the usernames starting with that letter. I scroll down to the name i want (as i scroll down, the text area holds each name but the SelectedIndexChanged event does not fire each time), then hit the Tab key, the SIC event fires and i get the result i want.
2. I do the same as above, but instead of hitting Tab key, i hit the Enter key. The same thing happens and i get the result i want.
3. This time, i first click on the dropdown arrow of the combobox such that it shows all usernames starting from the first name. I then type the first letter of the name i want. I saw that another drop down appeared in front of the first one and it was a smaller subset of names starting with the typed letter. I scroll down this smaller dropdown to the name i want (here also, as i scroll down, the text area holds each name, and the SIC event doesnt fire each time), then hit the Tab key, the SIC event fires and i get the result i want.
4. I do the same as #3, but this time i hit the Enter key instead of Tab key. But this time, the combobox text blanks out and the SIC event is not fired (although the name showed up just before i hit the Enter key). So i do not get any results back.
