View 1 RepliesI'm building a program in which it asks for your name and age and determines a ticket price based upon these details. I want it to show the person's name, then their age, (jump down a line) then their ticket price, and then it jumps down a line to show the next person's name, age and ticket price. Issue is, when it's meant to jump down to show the next person, it just completely deletes the last person's details.I'm using this line of code:
TxtFareShow.Text = (Name & Age & vbCrLf & Price) & vbCrLf
How do I fix this?
I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then
EnglishForm.Show()
ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.
My application outputs log text every so often and I need the user to be able to see the latest text at all times. I've tried a label, a text box and a rich text box, but I can't figure out a way to show the bottom-most text at all times.
View 2 Repliesi am trying to bring up a text message when the cursor moves over a certain label . No problems using the cursor enter . But i can not figure out how to display a text message in a balloon without a background (transparent) . Tried using a form but get the following message when trying to set background as transparent "Control does not support transparent background colors." Also i have tried using a user control but again no success .
View 2 RepliesI would like to display the word " Volts(V) " in the Y axis, just like the one you see from the attached image.

from there, i have a brief idea on it , tried out but it didnt work though. Or i may not have done it correctly.
I need to display text on the form (not a msgbox). A large text box would be acceptable if it's background could be made transparent with no border, but it seems that is not allowed.

View 2 RepliesI am sending a write command "*IDN?", and then trying to read back the information and put that into a text box inside of VB6. The "*IDN?" command gives back some information about the piece of equipment. When I send this command and read back using the NI488.2 interactive control utility I see the correct information displayed. I am not sure what I am missing in my VB code. My gui only consists of a text box to display the information read, and a command button to start the sequence. Here is my code.

I have a listbox that is connected to a text file and this file is created when the program opens for the first time and then users can add data to the file as they wish. However what I am having a problem with is that how can I link the selected item in the listview to a textbox.
I.e.
Listview has 3 columns: Name, Surname and Location
Then when the line is selected i want the 3 individual variables to display in 3 seperate text boxes that has been set up.
on my application i have a username and password form that saves the username & password It's not meant to be secure, and it writes to a text file displaying as so
Johnson:password1
Newname:password2
Newname2:password3

Private Sub cmdPostAdd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdPostAdd.Click
'Add new username and password
[code]....
This all works fine, but i have no idea how to reload this information when the form loads.Obviously it needs to read the string, the seperate the username and password.also is it possible to password char the password section in the listview? at the moment it can be read.

Description] "Every hundred years, the dark vampire known as Dracula resurrects and terrorizes the land. A vampire hunter named Simon Belmont bravely ventures into the Count's mansion in order to defeat him. Along the way he'll have to defeat skeletons, bats, fishmen, medusa heads and other evil creatures.Castlevania is a side-scrolling platform action game. The player taking the role of Simon Belmont is able to jump and crack his whip directly in front of him. Power-ups can be obtained by defeating enemies or by whipping candles that appear in the castle. One such power-up increases the power and length of Simon's whip. Different weapons can be gathered which consume hearts when used, these hearts can also be collected from monsters and candles. Additionally, some walls will hide secrets such as the health-restorative turkey or the Double and Triple shot abilities for the weapons Simon has collected. At the end of each section of the castle is a boss, which must be defeated. Progression through the castle eventually leads to a confrontation with Count Dracula himself."

View 1 RepliesI need to write some fixed-width font (i.e Courier New or Consolas) text to a .net Winforms window in the Paint event - not using a label or any other winforms control - rather using a graphics object method to render the text onto the form's client area. I am having difficulty aligning text on different lines under headings even though it is fixed width font. How can I get a precise measurement of the width of a single character in the fixed-width font? How can I get 2 lines to print out aligned horizontally in successive text out calls?
For example:
Heading 1 Heading 2
Short Other text
A bit longer Still aligned?
I need a separate call to render each cell of text under Heading 2. For argument's sake - let's say column 1 items are printed in black and column 2 are printed in blue - we can't use the same text out call for the entire line.

actually i'm trying to write a small program for my project's presentation. i created a form with buttons, each time i click on a button, i want a text loaded from MS word document to be displayed inside the form.
i thought about dislaying the text inside a label or textbox, but the problem is that the text doesn't preserve its state, i mean colors and fonts which are defined in the MS word document, it just displays everything in black color, small size..etc, even if i change the properties of the label in color or font, thoses changes will be applied to the whole text.
is there any control who can display the text loaded from a MS word coument with its colors and fonts which are already defined in the word document, or there any solution to do this ?
