View 1 Repliesi'm using Visual Basic 2008 - Office 2007 - addin for ppt.
ok i'm going to delete the other thread. i'm going to rephrase and try to explain as clearly as possible.
I need to find a code that (when i click the "Search" Button) will start searching for all available lan and wireless connections.
All the available selections will be shown in a List Box provided.
Once i find one i want to use, i can stop the search (by pressing another button "Stop" in this case) or just straight away click the one i want and press another button ("Select" in this case) and if it needs a password or WEP then it will display or it will just connect without asking.
Is there a way that VB.net can identify the encryption type of a wireless network? Just identify it, i'm not looking to do anything further than that and yet just about every search result i get from google wants to tell me how to sniff wep keys etc. Don't care, just want to know what type of encryption the network is using?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to create an instance of a control to copy it.
Dim NewPanel As New Panel1
Is not working. When you create an instance like this, the "Panel1" wont show up in the list of classes, so it says "Panel1 is not defined".I have heard of control arrays dissappeared in VB2008,but still,is there any way to create a new instance / copy an already existing control or let a control appear like it was when you made it in VB so you can open multiple Panels like they are child forms?
EDIT: I know you can do:
Dim newPanel As New Panel
newPanel = Panel1
Form1.Controls.Add(newPanel)
..but that's not what I want, because that makes you can't edit the controls inside the new panel.
I need to create a program which allow me to copy xx to another location. The hard part was it need to be start and running all the time (when start up Window) and only trigger to copy when certain condition was meet, - when the program detected certain string in the xx, like "end file"only it will trigger the copying and renaming process.
View 1 RepliesI have created a form with a tab control that I want to be able to make a copy of in such a way that all the child controls and their data are copied as well. I have tried this:
Dim NewPage as TabPage = tcViews.TabPages.Item(0)
tcViews.TabPages.Add(NewPage)
I end up with a reference to the first page. That is, if I change something in the old page, it changes in the new one as well. I believe this is because VB.NET treats assignments of classes as references, rather than values. Hence only the memory address of the original is copied, so essentially both refer to the same tab page in memory. I also tried serialization and deserialization.
The TabPage is apparently not serializable. And I heard about MemberwiseClone, but it isn't accessible, according to Visual Studio. There doesn't appear to be a Clone method available either. How do I make a new tab page that is totally independent of the original, but that has copies of the original page's controls and their property data, which can then be edited independently of the originals?
In Access or Excel, for instance, if I have a file named MyFile I can create an entirely new copy of it by going to File --Save As--; and pronto I have another File named ,say, MyFile2 while retaining my original file - MyFile - in its entirety.My question is: can I do same in VB? If I have a Solution named, MySolution, can I use the Save As dialog to create an entirely new copy of it while retaining the original Solution? If yes, how and if no, how do I do it?
View 1 RepliesI'd like to build a program which shares files between two computers. My method for doing that is setting up a home network, basically, on one computer, put a file there, and share that file on the network. The other computer would then connect to the network (through my application) and find the file and read it. I know this is very long. I would just like you to help me start up.How do I create a wireless network ENTIRELY THROUGH VB during the initial setup of the application? I don't want the user to deal with creating the network himself.
