Copying And Pasting In Sections Of A Form?
Oct 26, 2010
I have a form that I am creating to document information about computers that I build. I have created the basic layout, what I have is a group box that has many different controls in it (text boxes, combo boxes, additional group boxes etc) What I want to be able to do is have a button that will copy the group box (computer information) and all of its contents and then paste it below the first group box with all of the fields blank or in their default setting; and keep doing this for as many computers as I want to add. Each project I do has a different amount of computers on it so I want this form to be able to handle any amount of computers.
I can't seem to find much on what I want to do, any pointers, direction or idea's
I was able to do this with an excel spreadsheet but all I had to do was reference and select a cell range, scroll down and paste the new section in. This is my code from excell, just as an example of what I did then. But with VB I'm stumped on how to approach this.
Range("U3:AB11").Select
Range("U11").Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False

In VB 2008, I am trying to create an app that will copy a range of cells from one worksheet ("xlWS1") in the first workbook ("xlWB1") to another worksheet ("2") in a second workbook ("xlWB2"), starting in cell A1. I would like this to be activated by a button.Then, another button will copy the same cells from "xlWS1" to "xlWB2", worksheet "3", and so on for each subsequent button.
xlWB1/xlWS1 contains data in the cells that is updated from our data acquisition system once per second. (we perform jet engine testing). "xlWB2" sheets (6 of them) will contain the saved data from the "live" screen (xlWS1, came cell range) in the first WB. There are several different versions (filenames) of the second workbook, one for each engine model.Both workbooks should already be open, but I would also like the app to open them if they are not open already.
We have been using VBA macros to do this, but run into problems when someone saves the second (destination) workbook under a different filename. For some reason, if the filename of the Wb that is already open isn't the same as what's in the macro for that button, the macro's defined workbook is renamed in the macro. I am trying to get away from using the macros to keep this from happening, and to make an app that's "foolproof" so it is more reliable.
I already have an app that will open the proper workbooks. I may combine the two apps in the future. I can't find a solution for this. The VBA code is quite different and simple as far as opening, activating, copying, etc. Basically, I can't seem to find any self-explanatory "activate/copy/paste, etc." namespace in Vb 2008 like I used in the VBA macros.
I'm sure the solution is simple, but I just can't seem to find it in the MSDN library or the VS 2008 book I have. Everything in the book talks about accessing databases, which we don't use (yet). There's nothing concerning this issue with Excel 2003 workbooks/worksheets.

I'm trying to copy a Range from Excel and Paste the information in powerpoint in either the HTML or the default format, however, I am having some difficulties. I am able to get the code to work for pasting the Range as an OLE Object but nothing else. The problem with doing this is that having the embedded excel documents in the powerpoint makes the file extremely large and unstable. I just need to be able to paste the information without the embedded information where it is editable (so, not as a bitmap or picture).
With ppt2Slide
Sheets(index2).Activate
Range("CP12:CT" & RangeIndex2).Copy

I have created a Windows Forms application in Visual Studio.Net 2008. I have some group boxes on the form in order to section various controls on the page. At the bottom of my form is a group box containing a texbox used for display exception messages. I would like the user to be able to toggle the ability to hide/show this section of the form. Is there a control which allows the show/hide feature of a form?

I have recently moved from developing in vb.NET 2008 to vb.NET 2010. There is a form in the application that uses an old Ascend Gradient Caption control to visually separate sections of the form. These controls are located on a tab control. The problem isthat the gradient captions seem to be unstable. They appear in odd locations on the tab pages at runtime, and I can't seem to select them in the designer. I can choose them from the combo box on the property page and edit the properties, but they stillbehave erratically. I understand that these are older controls and was wondering if anyone has had this problem and/or could recommend an alternative control

So my final goal is to take some columns from one form's datagridview (in form3) and place them into a seperate form's datagridview (form4). I started off by just trying to put all of the rows in there one-by-one. Later I will be moe picky about which rows I want. Below is the code I am using. The problem is that I am ending up with an empty form, but no errors.[code]

I am trying to copy a treeview control from one form to another. To do this I wrote the following
Dim tempForm As frmDoc
Dim tempTreeview As TreeView
tempForm = frmMain.Activemdichild
tempTreeview = temForm.treeview1
Me.Controls.Add(tempTreeview)
However this code moves the treeview from one form to another, it does not copy (or clone) the control.

I am looking for an advice how to do a drag and drop copying an object anywhere on the form and also move an object around and place it where the user wants. Is that possible? Kind of something what we have in the designer of Visual Studio, we can drag and drop a label or a textbox down on the form.

I started with Visual basic 2010 and wants to learn this program. I am reading some tutorials but there is one thing i can't find.
I want different sections in a program. I have added a menu with some options. Now when i click in the memo on the "personnel" option i want to show the personnel form. I did this with
Public Class Form1Private Sub NieuwToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NieuwToolStripMenuItem.Click formPersoneel.Show()End Sub End Class
This will open the form only in a new window. How can i load this forms in the program itself?

How easy it is to "split" a bitmap into separate parts?Here is a bitmap that was generated by a program - the red pixels that you see are purely red, there are no other colours.I want to know if the left side is "redder" than the right side. (Actually I want to be more precise than that (but I can figure that out on my own))So, I think that "splitting" the bitmap up into sections like this: would be the best way to do it then I can count the red pixels in each section.Here is the part of the code snippet that produced the bitmap you see above:I think I might be able to modify this easily to count pixels, if I know how to split the bitmap into section thingies.
Dim are_identical As Boolean = True
Dim eq_color As Color = Color.White
Dim ne_color As Color = Color.Red
For x As Integer = 0 To wid - 1

I want to make a desktop application for [URL]..if anyone is familiar with any of these sites (Fmylife etc), they will know that the text is in the white bubbles going down the screen.
Is it possible to grab just the stories, and ignore everything else?
I have tried this kind of thing:
Private Sub Grab_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Grab.Click
Dim Actual
Actual = Mid(MLIABrowser.Document.Body.InnerText, 397, 1000000)
RichTextBox1.Text = Actual
End Sub
This just gets all the text after the 397 character, but there are several problems with this:
- The adds on the page are different every time, so it would be impossible to get a constant
- There is still text on the sides and bottom that is being grabbed
- I also do not want the "comments" etc shown. JUST the story...

I searched the forum and the web in general but did not find anything that answered my question.I am trying to create repeating sections (much like you can do in InfoPath development) in VB. For example, I would have a dozen textboxes in a section which the user would be able to fill out.

The only thing I am coming up with in my searches is stuff to do with expandable type converters, and all of that documentation is a bit over my head as trying all the examples is failing horribly. I would assume that there is an easier way to go about this without junking up my code with more stuff I don't understand.[code]Now, variables 1-5 have to go under section1, which is what is going on now. However, I want to group together variables 1-4, then group together variables 5-8, so they have the plus sign and can expand. But I cannot apply another category to any of these as they already have a category. All of the other things I have tried putting in additional "<tryexpand("notgonnawork")> _" sections does exactly that, not gonna work.

I'm making a program in C#, but I want to test out part of the program I'm going to integrate into it in VB, and what I want to do is divide a file into sections. The files range from 60mb to around 180mb, and I know that it is really hard to open files of that size, so for my app I want it to divide the file into smaller sections and put files in a folder temporarily so It could just read them from there. And I want to break it down to about, 5-10mb per file.
