I tried to change the toptext of my tabpage and the title of a groupbox with the following code.
View 4 RepliesBeen searching a trying examples for a couple of days and always fall back to the "null reference" error on this one. I have a set of instructions coming from a SQL database and the number of instructions is a variable. Therefore, I have a TabControl which I add TabPages to at RunTime depending on the number of instructions there are. The TabPages are then created with the names; Step1, Step2, Step3, etc.Each TabPage is made with the same controls and all of the controls are named the same from page to page (e.g. "instr" is the name of a TextBox control that exists on every TabPage).I can successfully create a GetControl method that will return the correct TabPage, but I cannot reference any controls on that TabPage.I can only change properties of the TabPage.If I try to reference a specific control on that TabPage, like the "instr" TextBox control, I get the null reference error.[code]

I have an application where the tabpages are created at runtime and the forms are docked into the tabpages as controls. Now I want , a right click on the tab to ask the user whether he wants to undock the form as a seperate window. Is this possible
View 1 RepliesI am creating a keydown event that when the enter key is pressed it performs the button1_click event. I have this much:
if e.keycode = keys.enter then
//code here
endif
I just need to know how to make it perform the button1_click event.
I have the following code which I use in another Form and it works perfectly. I copied the same code to another form, changed the controls, keys combinations, etc., but the keyboard shortcuts do nothing at runtime. None of the key combinations work, it throws no Exceptions,I put a MessageBox in the F1 KeyDown conditional, but it doesn't show. That tells me that it's not Handling the KeyDown Event.[code]
View 5 RepliesI have seen similar questions which attempt to solve this issue, but none seem to work for me so far.Basically, for my first VB project, I am creating a virtual keyboard where a sound is played from the resources on KeyDown. So far, the program seems to work except for the fact that each key needs to be clicked by the mouse before the sound is played by pressing each key (hence put the object in focus), where I need the key to play the sound without clicking the keyboard key (put the object in focus on KeyDown).Below is an example of my code:

I am trying to display an usercontrol(has several panels one on top of the other panel) on tabpage. I am using below code to achieve this.
[Code]...
I am using System.Windows.Forms.TabPage to store an entire TabPage for later use in My.Settings. Here is a brief description of the application.
I have a TabControl that has 3 tabs. One for user input, another tab for equipment settings, and then a final tab for Oven settings. On the user input tab, if the user de-selects the checkbox for Oven, the oven tab is saved to My.Settings and hidden.
I can then run the application without oven control. After running, lets say the user would like to re-run, this time with the oven. They go back to the input tab and re-select the Oven checkbox. However, the Oven tab doesn't re-appear. When stepping through the code, the is nothing stored in My.Settings for the oven tab page. Why not?
Also, I can open the application, and check, then uncheck the oven checkbox and the tab is hidden, then returns. I can do this all day. However, after running the tab will not return.
Needing pointed in the right direction. I am fooling around with data sources and connections per homework and what I'm looking for is creating an SQL DB connection during runtime. I know that you can add a data source in design by going through the Wizard but what if one would want to create the connection, adapter, and dataset during runtime? Where would you start?
I have cruzed the net looking for some form of a tutorial to just get me started, I don't need it all completely outlined but I need to know where and how to start and what I need to declare the connection, string, and dataset as. I have seen a lot of information using VB6 but nothing that I come across seems to work.
My basic questions are:Do I have to create a seperate class for the database connection?How do I delcare the nuts and bolts of the connection,adapter, and dataset?If a seperate class isn't required then where is the most realistic place these items would be created?
How can you add a system DSN with its security credentials programmatically at runtime from VB.NET? Keeping key in ODBC.INI is done, but when creating ODBC, it asks for Authentication Type (SQL or Network Login).How can we set that option at runtime?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make labels at runtime. The idea is to create them on the fly in runtime.
I have this on my form:
btnAdd
txtName
txtAge

Which work fine, but if I want to create another label, how do I check to see if one or more labels have already been created and then apply a new location of the new label? (so it doesn't get override on the same location on the form?)
Im creating a fairly simple game, and when the left key is pressed i need a new picturebox to be created.Heres the code Private Sub frmMain_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
[Code]...
Now there are no errors in the code apparently, but when the left key is pressed, the picture box isnt appearing. I added the "lblAnswer1.visible = false" just to test the keydown functionality, and that works.
im doing a project in which im basically trying to make an etch-a-sketch style program.
I am using a 5x5 pixel picture box as the 'cursor' and have made the program so that i can move the picture box with the arrow keys. I am currently trying to work out how to make a trail of identical picture boxes (from an array of picture boxes) appear wherever the cursor has been using this code
Case Keys.Left
CurrentLoc = New Point(PictureBox1.Location.X, PictureBox1.Location.Y)
If Not PictureBox1.Location.X - 5 < 0 Then

Basically, im trying to make a trail by moving the original picturebox and the inserting an identical picturebox in the original's previous position. However, the new identical ones do not display

View 2 RepliesI am having some problems adding controls at runtime, or I guess I should say accessing the controls after adding them.The application starts off with a tab control named "tabIncidents" and one tab for an incident information. The user can click on a button to add a client. When the button is pressed a second tab is added to "tabIncidents" named "Clients." On the newly created "Clients" tab another tabcontrol is added named "tabClients" and we create a tab named "Client". Multiple "Client" tabs can be created on this tabcontrol. Each "Client" tab gets a usercontrol added named "clientInformation" which has name and address textboxes.
So basically it is ...
TabIncidents.tabFirstTab (already exists)
TabIncidents.Clients (new tab added at runtime if user clicks a button)
TabIncidents.Clients.tabClients (new tabcontrol on the new tab)
[code]....
Problem: Need to get a picturebox to display four images, one after each other. But in a way in which during runtime the changes can be seen.
So I figured if after every image is changed for example if I had some sort of timer, then during runtime the image will be shown, then after a certain period the next one would be shown and etc. I tried doing this using a timer and then a stopwatch but both time's no change can be seen in runtime and there is a small wait before the last image comes up.
I then also, tried using sleep, but that also showed no changes. Underneath is a quick piece of coding of what I'm trying to achieve, but instead of textboxs, for the sake of what I'm trying to do I will be using pictureboxs.

Question: I've tried all I know in regards to timers and so on with no luck.
I want to create a Panel dynamically on the form when a button is clicked. Also labels with given TEXT are also to be created when create label button is clicked. then we should be able to print the form contents as it appears but without any buttons. We should be able to resize the panel to adjust the page size.
