View 7 RepliesIn a VB.NET Winforms application, I have a form that contains both a datagridview and a textbox. I have some menu item entries that have shortcuts of Ctrl + X, Ctrl + C, and Ctrl + V that operate on the datagridview.

View 1 RepliesIn my program, the user can select a icon for a shortcut generator. I googled "Extract icons from exe", and could only find nonworking answers to extract a single icon from an exe. I want a user to be able to select a program path and have a imagelistbox, flowlayoutpanel, or listview fill up with previews of all the icons. I want it to be similar to when you try to manual change a shortcut icon (you know that box with the exe path and the list of icons?). Is there any possible way to do this?

View 5 RepliesI am converting an older software package written in VB 6 to VS 2010.Not to incredibly painful but planning for the future as we have had lets say a few issues with VB 6 on our current layout of multiple OS and this is my first real project lead.We are a smaller job shop and we move on a rotation of new PC's/OS's come in to replace broken or exhausted older PC's in the front office and move the older PC's out to the shop floor.We have an array of different OS's ranging from Windows 98 and Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit OS). By the time I am done with the conversion we should be sitting comfortable with a range of PC's from XP and up. When creating the executable for my project is this something that can be handled ahead of time, creating multiple executables for specified OS, or an all in one package executable?I was looking to see what people had as suggestions at handling this.We haven't even bought VS yet and are looking at the VS 2010 Premium package, do I need Ultimate?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to assign a keyboard shortcut to a macro but "Press shortcut keys" textbox does not accept input. The "Remove" and "Assign" buttons are disabled. I have a command highlighted and I've tried in all the available "Keyboard Mapping Schemes".

I'm assuming those are a visual studio version prior to mine - maybe 2003. Mine only contains the reset button.
