Apr 3, 2011

my final year project title is monitoring weight changes in digital scale / indicator.i bought one digital scale online from A&D in order to test out my system.however unlikely other device (GSM MODEM, RFID...) there are no drivers or libraries (DLL) from this device.. with only the digital scale and (rs232 9-pins to usb convertor i bought) i was like lost wondering how to get communicate with the device.i have been search around in the internet for similar post.. but there are most likely dealing with the data receiving already. is there any journals or manuals for references? i willing to study over this and not simply ask for full codings.

- how to communicate with the device (serial port communication)

- is there any driver / libraries need to install bfore everything?

OS using - windows 7 ultimate (laptop)model of device - A&D JM-SERIES 150lb

Communications :: Send A Command Via RS232 Communications

Jan 26, 2009

I am using VB2008 Express and am curious how to send a command via RS232 communications. The string that I need to send is 02h PON 03h. The start and end bits are 02h and 03h.

How can I convert 02h and 03h to its ascii form. In hyperterminal, I use the sequence {(hold)ALT 0 0 2} on the number pad to send the start bit.

I am using this code currently without the start and end bits

Add & Remove Listview ColumnHeader Sort Indicator?

Oct 15, 2009

I'm using VB 2008 and windows vista. I'm using a listview in my application.(view=details) I assign an image list to listview.smallimagelist. when user try to sort the listview by clicking the column header i use the imageindex property to set an icon for that column header, this works fine. When user clicks another column to sort the listview by that, I use listview.columns(PreviousColumnIndex).imageindex=-1 to remove the sort order icon from the previously selected columnheader, but it does not remove the picture from the previous columnheader. How should I remove the icon(picture) from the previous column header?

Disable Conversion Of & To Shortcut Indicator (winforms)?

Sep 18, 2010

I have a tab control (in my case a UltraTabControl from Infragistics) and I add a new tab.

The text of this new tab is set to "Escape &Characters".

lTab.Text = "Escape &Characters"

When visualizing the tab control the & will become an _ (underscore) for the next character - in this case "C"

I know that & is the Microsoft way of indicating a shortcut character - but is there any way of disabling this behaviour?

VS 2008 Listview ColumnHeader Sort Indicator?

Jun 21, 2011

After a long time searching, I am still facing an issue with my listview column header I am trying to add a sort indicator (a small 16x16 arrow, next to the column title - looks quite good).

- My listview is in Ownerdraw mode for : Items & Subitems for a couple of reasons

- So far, I was letting the system do the job for the header (e.drawdefault = true)

I managed to add very easily the arrow using the e.graphics class, right after the e.drawdefault=true, and it is actually working good.

print01.gif
(Sub ColumnHeader OwnerDraw)
e.DrawDefault = True
e.Graphics.DrawImage(My.Resources.fleche_v2_16x16, 34, 2, 16, 16)

As you can see, I'm simply using a resource, and am forcing it to 16x16 with a custom location x=34 pixels y=2pixels My issue comes with the following :

(Sub ColumnHeader OwnerDraw)
e.DrawDefault = True
e.Graphics.DrawImage(My.Resources.fleche_v2_16x16, (e.Bounds.X + 34), 2, 16, 16)

The arrow wont draw Of course the sort indicator will sometime be on the 2nd column etc.. That's why I need to use the column header's bounds.I can already hear you saying : if you do not owner draw, you can't..But why is it working with a static location (, 34, 2, 16, 16) ans not starting from another static location (e.bounds.x) How can I fix that ? I cant find previous issues similar to that one over the internet.

Points of interest :

- I tryed to load the int value e.bounds.x into a variable before, using that instead of e.bounds.x but it's all the same.

- Using the imagelist is not an option, As you can tell from the screenshot, I am already using images for headers.. the sort indicator is coming as another image

- Using ">" or "<" in the header's text is not an option either........ (sorry pal It does not look good at all..)

- Drawing the header totally in owner draw mode would be an option, but it looks quite hard to do (need to manage the "rounded" header style of the system, the mouse over - small yellow line rounded on the sides in WinXp, the click effect....).

Upgrading Software Written In VB To Include More Graphics/controls/indicator For User Interface?

Feb 18, 2011

I have been given a project to update software written in Visual Basic. The software and some files are enclosed in a folder and was written 3 years ago. I have no clue what to do. All I have been asked to include more controls. The user interface allows user to select three processes by clicking on the buttons on user interface. The new requirements is to add two more buttons. There is not much information so I have to use only the resources available. When I tried to open the project, visual studio prompted to convert the project so its compatible with current version. I could open the project but dont know what to do from there. Please guide me towards the right direction. If the project folder is required please advise me how to attach it too.

.net - Have Each DataGridView Scale Appropriately?

Jun 18, 2009

In VB.net 3.5 SP1 I have a Windows Form with three DataGridView controls. One DGV takes up the whole bottom half of the form. The other two share the top half and are side-by-side.

I'd like to have each DataGridView scale appropriately. More specifically I'd like to have column widths and row heights adjust to the size of the form. Then I'd like the cell font to auto-fill based on a change in the cell size.

I've used the Dock property for the controls to scale to the size of the form. How can I get the rows and fonts to utilize the increased form size?

VS 2008 Toledo Scale Automation?

Oct 29, 2009

i would put this here maybe someone would be in the know.Waiting to here back from the company also.At work we have a truck scale and it has a control that reads the weight.Model of the control is Toledo Scales Model 8530. The control has a serial cable to communicate with.I am trying to figure out what command to send to it to get the weight back.I have connected to it with a serial monitor and i dont seem to be getting any information back so thought maybe I had to send something to it.Right now we have a 3rd party dos program that is communicating with it that i dont have the source to.

I dont know if i could just bypass the control and connect to that serial cable or not,,, i would need to find an adapter if so.Ok probably shot in dark but thought what the heck this is a smart group
