Detect User Choice During Run Time?
Sep 10, 2010
No doubt a simple question, but I'm a beginner (I learnt GW BritingASIC in 3 months long ago - but after 6 months grappling with vb 2008 I am still bewidered).
I have written a program that asks the user at run time to choose 1 of 40 buttons. These are themselves defined at run time. Whichever button is chosen the same algoritm will run (using different data). Question: To save writing the same Button_Click routine 40 times, what code should I write - and where in the program - to detect which of the 40 the user has chosen?

How can I edit the time on my form. I have a one tabpage Schedule on which I want to set time according to user's choice. (I know how to display current time). If current time is 5.50.55 PM then user can set anything for eg. 6.45.12 AM according to he want to schedule.

I have some custom user controls in my .net winforms program that do not display correctly when the user has selected larger text size. This setting:
My controls look like this:
Instead of like this:
The bill to area and ship to area are both custom controls. I don't know if this is contributing to the problem but I do have code in each to scale the phone/fax areas to stretch nicely, like this code from the bill to control,
Private Sub panFaxPhone_Resize(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles panFaxPhone.Resize
panFax.Width = (panFaxPhone.Width / 2) - 1
panPhone.Width = (panFaxPhone.Width / 2) - 1
panFax.Left = panFaxPhone.Width - panFax.Width
End Sub
How can I get my controls to size correctly while still respecting the users choice for larger text (I don't want to just set the AutoScaleMode to None)? After playing with this for a long time it seems to be a problem with anchors in the child controls. See this below image, the inner black box is the control with its border turned on, the text boxes (like name) are anchored left and right and should stretch to fill the control, but don't.

sample_form.rtf (1.48MB). Number of downloads: 36. I have a working form to give specific choices to the user and retrieve the user's choice. (See code below and attached image in WordPad file.) I know I can use a global ("Public") variable to pass the text of the three choices from the calling form to the called form, but is there a way to pass these from one form to the other exclusively? Of course, my main objective is to have as little memory being used as possible. I would like to make the form in my example (frmDialogChoice) a generic form that can display any set of three choices.
code within calling form:
Dim intSwitchToMake As Integer
Dim insFrmDialogChoice As New frmDialogChoice
insFrmDialogChoice.ShowDialog()
[CODE]....

I have four drop down lists here and I've assigned the datasource and displaymemberproperties so they are populated by a table. When I run the program and select a choice, all four of them get updated with the new choice.

I am trying to show or hide tabpages as per user choice. If user selects gender male then form for male in a tabpage "male" should be displayed and if user selects female then similar next form should be displayed in next tab "female" I tried using
tabControl1.TabPages.Remove(...) and
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(...)
It adds and removes the tabpages but doing so will loose my controls on tabpages too... i can't see them back.

I have designed this app with 5 pictureboxes. Each picturebox shows an image of a variation of a particular chord. Now, when a user types in (let's say) Cmajor (and it auto completes) how do I get the 5 pictureboxes to show the 5 different Voicing (Variations) of the Cmajor Chord?

I have a program that allows a user to select a program to run at a certain time for a specific amount of time all choosen by the user. Everything works with the exception of if my program has launched the other program, my program become non-responsive. Meaning I am not able to look at that window again. Not that one really needs too, because when time is up my program closes the program it opened, then closes itself. I just want to be able to see my program when the other program is running. how to do this and perhaps drop me some links, that would be wonderful. This is what I have coded, but like I stated there are no code errors.

I have an ASP.NET application with a SQL Server back end. I am storing all my dates in UTC format and doing the appropriate conversions to the local time zone of the browser viewing it. One of the pages asks for a start date and end date (no times).
I am taking the start date and setting the time to 00:00:00 hours (midnight) and I'm taking the End time and adding a time of 23:59:59, so that the date range covers the whole day. Now what I'm trying to do is do a SQL query to do a search for records in this date range. The problem is, the data in SQL is in UTC time and the user is typing their dates and times in their local date and times. My quickest solution was to convert the date and time to UTC, then search the records. However, by doing this, I am to believe ASP.NET converts the given time and date to UTC based on the server time zone. How can I convert a date and time to UTC time based on the time zone of the user?

I want to "manage" a table of "orders." Orders is a typical table with a foreign key pointing to a customer, and a one-to-many relationship with a "details" table. To manage orders means to enter new orders, add details to orders, record payments, print a list of orders, cancel orders, mark orders shipped, print one order, etc., etc. These tasks can be divided into tasks that affect single orders (cancel an order) and tasks that affect multiple orders (print a list of orders).That task division led me to this user interface: present a form/window that displays by default a list of orders, and provide a button that switches the view from list mode to single-order mode. Each mode then provides the buttons for its tasks.

designing a Windows based computer program that will allow a user to enter some number (n) and a choice of a count up or count down for that many numbers. So for example, the user enters 5 as their number and selects the count down option, the message box displayed would contain the message: "Here are your numbers: 5,4,3,2,1,0"

To detect if a usercontrol is being resized in design mode I added this to the UserControl.Designer.vb code....
Protected Overrides Sub OnResize(ByVal e As EventArgs)
If Me.DesignMode Then
' Call a Sub in my UserControl
End If
End Sub
Ok that works, Now do I also need to include MyBase.OnResize(e), if yes then where do I add it?

how to create a client/server... But I couldn't... I don't want anything fancy. Just want the client to send the server 4 numbers, depending on the user's choice; after that, the server would turn off the pc, restart it, etc. It all depends on the number received. Is there a rather "simple" way to do it? If it's not to much trouble you could use Atheist's example. (Btw I don't understand the code and, yes, I've checked on [URL])

I am using VB .Net 2.0. I know I can detect the OS using
System.Environment.OSVersion
Can anyone tell me if there's a list somewhere where I can find what that generates for different OS versions.
Specifically I am trying to detect if a user is running Windows 7 64-bit.

I have an application that when it starts, it checks the internet to see if a new version is available. My problem is this: If there is no net connection, the program 'pauses' as it tries to check for the new version.
Is there a function that I can use to detect if the user is currently online, with a working connection?

I'm trying to work out how to detect if the user has pressed an f key I have this so far:
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
Label1.Text = e.KeyChar
End Sub
This detects when the user presses a character key and outputs it via Label1.text, but it doesnt work on all keys?

Dim hostname As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry(TextBoxIP.Text)
Dim ip As IPAddress() = hostname.AddressList
TextBoxIP.Text = ip(0).ToString()
I have a windows form with the code above to get the ip address of the user. what would be the easiest way to get the country location of the user? based on the IP in the textbox. The solution doesnt need to be 100% accurate but good enough to work most of the time. the simpler the better.is there are any work arounds or built in fuctions for pulling a users country or language, this would be better than creating or managing a giant database.

I have a oracle database. I use the OracleDataAdapter(Oracle.DataAccess.dll) for select, update, insert, delete operations. I don't set any (table) locks on my own(I only start a transaction). I have a oracle table named "test" with the entry "test1".
Now my question: Can Person A read the entry "test1" while Person B is updating/deleting the entry at the exact same time? What happens in the worst case? An old match/empty match or can it cause any kind of exception/error(e.g. "TableLocked-Exception")?

writing user info such as user, computer name, date, and time to an acces database using a button click event. Then use a query to check if the user has accepted the aggreement. If the user has accepted the aggreement then call a vb.exe that display the aggrement. I have a login script that runs the vb.exe and uses a button click that records the user info to a csv file, but if the user has already agreed to the policies I do not want it run again.

I thought I postet this yesterday but I can't find my thread so if this is a duplicate please point me at the original one. Background: I need to create a user account and Modify it's registry before the user logs on the first time. Creating the account is done by using the Winnt provider (works great). To create the profile I'm trying to use Process.start to launch a process as the newly created user. With the use of loaduserprofile property the users profile gets created and i can do my regwrites without problem.

I need to detect whenever user clicks the mouse, no matter what form is selected at the given time.
I know that detected keypresses globally can be done through a Keyboard hook so I assume that i am going to need some sort of Mouse Hook.
