View 3 RepliesSo i'm creating a simple application as an example that is to link to a Access 2007 database.
On my main form i have four listboxes that are correctly attached to the table, I have one for First Name, Last Name, Phone, and School. I added 3 records to the database in Access to see if I could display the records in the listboxes on the form. I found that it was very easy by setting the properties and I have no problem there. I also have a command button that loads a new form for the purpose of adding a record to the database.
Here is my main form (frmMain.vb)...
CODE:
And Here is the code for the form...
CODE:
What i'm looking for is when the user presses the Add button on the frmAddNew form then it needs to close and the new record is listed in the textboxes and saved to the database. Id also like to know all kinds of things i might be able to do with textboxes and databases because i'm trying to learn for a larger project where i'll need to keep track of hundreds of records.
I understand that this is a simple procedure, but i've been spending all night scouring tutorials and getting lost in the msdn library online, so maybe some human input will be better.
I'm attempting to do a school project dealing with a simple web crawler. I have a form with a web browser control embedded that loads a web page will all the available courses. I have a text box and a button design for a user to search for a specific course by using the four letter department abbreviation. The page that I have loaded has all the department abbreviations as hyperlinks.is it possible to search the page using the four letter abbreviation specified by the user and if the search finds a corresponding hyperlink open it. Then I would use a loop to repeat the process of opening each class offered by that department and obtaining information such as course name, section number and so forth.
View 2 RepliesI would like to click next to go to another image in a picturebox but I only have one picture box setup to have the new letter displayed in it. I have 26 images to display and need to know how to setup a loop to go through each image? It seems simple but I cannot figure out how to get to the third image, it only goes to the second image and stops. I also need to know how to setup the back button to display the prior image in a picture box.
View 8 Repliesi am going creating a simple function calculator, but I had to first do a design documentation proposal. I now have to update the project proposal with a storyboard or list of menu and screen items to delineate my proposed user screen and menus.aside from the calculator itself there will not be any menus.I also have to list any user data inputs and outputs my application will require and produce, which i assume i can put any numbers that the user inputs into the calculator and their results.

View 3 RepliesI am just new in visual basic and I was given a task to do a basketball playbook application using visual basic. I am trying to do a simple editor that would allow you to design the plays. How do I implement a picturebox (picturebox1) with an image in it (lets say image1) then when I drag it image1 will appear in another picturebox (picturebox2)with a basketball court background. Then after dragging image1, picturebox1 will now display another image (image2) ready to be dragged also.
View 3 RepliesI'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum or has already been asked, but I'm having a problem creating what should be a relatively simple code for an Excel Project. Essentially, the code is supposed to check if a certain column has Y in it and then copy that entire row onto another sheet and then move on to check the rest of the original sheet. This version of the code seems to do everything but actually populate the cells with the information. Every other attempt I've made has ended with "Application-Based or Object Based Errors". I've worked on this code for a few days now and I just can't seem to get it right. What am I doing wrong?
Here's the code:
Sub PopulateNewSheet()
i = 2
Do While Worksheets("Main List").Cells(i, 2).Value <> 0

View 3 RepliesI am trying my hand at making a simple poker hand analyzer in VB 2010 for a distance education intro to VB course at my school.My goal is to represent the cards in a table array. Rows are suits Clubs/Diamonds/Hearts/Spades and columns are values (A, 1, 2... K). However I have no clue how to design a Sub procedure that will recognize the hand the user inputs and add any possible results to a listbox (fourkind/threekind/pair/flush/straight/ace high straight). I don't understand how exactly I'm supposed to do this. My criteria isn't very strict. I can have a hand with more than one description, like a fullhouse + threekind + pair can all be used to describe one hand.
What I think I need to do is split the entered string to get 5 strings (each is a card). Then somehow find these in the table? I have no idea how to do this and I'm stumped... The instructions loosely call to look for a boolean value where cards(i,j) is set to 1 of the player is dealt card j in suit i. But I do not know how to achieve this.
As you can see my understanding on VB is extremely... basic (no pun intended). It's my first time ever learning a computer language, and I really regret taking this course via distance ed because the instructor and the TA absolutely refuse to communicate with the students. I am trying my best to practically self-teach with the thick text book.

View 2 RepliesI have the following Enum:
Public Enum myEnum As Integer
first = &H1
second = &H2
[Code].....
Obviously I can code around this issue, but I can see a scenario where that workaround could be easily missed in maintenance programming, and I'm hoping someone can recommend a simple solution that won't break if, for example, the values in the enum have to change at a later date.
I know vb.net does not include pointers like C language. but I am trying do populate an simple integer array with variable of the same type for example :
dim variable1 as integer = -1
dim variable2 as integer = -1
dim intArray() as integer = {variable1,variable2}
[code]....
it is a very simplyfied verson of what I want to do.I want to change the value of ma variables with my array referencing them with an index as if my variables were pointers of integer in c++ for example so that normally after the example, both variable should hold the number 3 instead of the number -1?
Ok, I'm half convinced that this is such a simple question that no one has ever needed to ask it in the history of google.I have a double datatype, which contains a currency value. This is returned by an API, so I can't just change it to decimal.The variable gets populated with this: 5.37979542325911E-315, which I took to mean that the current balance was $5.3797. This is incorrect!
So my question to you guys is: How do I convert a double to a data type I can use for currency?
Note: Cdec() and other casting to decimals hasn't workd. It's set the decimal to 0D.
I'm having a problem with converting from one source type to a destination type. I have a form with 2 buttons (button 2 uses the OpenFileDialog to have the user open an excel file set to NewFile),(button 1 takes the contents from specific cells in NewFile and arranges them how I need into oXLApp1).
The error I get is "Unable to cast object of type 'System.IO.FileStream' to type 'Excel.Application'." in line 14 of the code below.
