DragEnter And DragDrop Events Fire Multiple Times In VB?
Jul 8, 2010
I've got a research application that is hosting a webbrowser control and I'm implementing a feature that allows the user to select text from a web page and drag it to various research note fields. The issue I have is the dragenter and dragdrop events continue after the initial drop, inserting the text multiple times. Here's the test case on my box and the result.
Select Text in Browser Drag to Text Box Drop Text What happens is after the drop event is fired and the text inserted to the drop target, when you move the mouse after dropping the text, the drag enter event is fired, followed by the dragdrop event, then another dragenter and dragdrop. So, selected text such as "Selected Text" becomes "Selected TextSelected TextSelected Text".
Note: The dragenter event is properly raised once when the mouse enters the textbox, however the mouse does not have to leave the textbox after the dragdrop event fires. i thought there was something wrong with my application so I created a simple test app, containing a Webbrowser and a multi-line text box. This test app generates the same results and the code is below. This is the first time, I've implemented
drag and drop operations and I followed the guidelines noted in this MSDN article. While I did what the article suggests, I'm thinking I need to note the event was handled somewhere.

In old vb6.0 it was easy to highlight the target item, where to drop those dragged rows.
Private Sub listView_OLEDragOver(Data As MSComctlLib.DataObject, Effect As Long, Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single, State As Integer) Set listView.DropHighlight = listView.HitTest(x, y)
You can get the item to drop to in VB.NET:
Private Sub ListView_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal _
e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles _
ListView.DragDrop
[CODE]...
Now we got the index and item, where to drop. But then what? One possibility to do the HighLight is change the ListViews state to "LVIS_DROPHILITED" by sending Windows message "SendMessageA(lvw.Handle, LVIS_DROPHILITED, 0, 0)". But when is the right time to do that (DragEnter or DragDrop event) and what are the right parameters? Didn't succeed on that yet.

Well the title pretty well describes my problem. Here is a little bit more detailed description of my problem: I am building an application with a TabControl, which I populate at execution time with TabPages. In my first version of the code, these TabPages were filled with a children ListView. The ListView was also created in code, using AddHandlers to link it to the DragEnter and DragDrop routines. Everything worked very well... Now as I need some other controls on every TabPage, instead of creating every single control in code, I have created a UserControl containing a ListView and a few Buttons, which I instantiate for every new TabPage. The problem now is that the DragDrop event is not raised anymore

I am trying to drag and drop items from a listbox into a richtextbox? I can not get the .DragDrop event to fire? I have copied and past the code from [URL]
I can get the .DragEnter event to fire. The mousedown event fires the drag and drop, is there something for mouseup?

I have a DGV in VB.Net 2008 connected to an Access DB table. The DGV is not Read Only, but is full of read-only columns except for one, which contains a combo box. The combo box allows the user to select an outcome for that particular row, and then the program copies in a pre calculated value into the "Profit" column depending upon the item selected in the combobox. Then the user hits the Save button and the DB updates (currently via SQL methods in the XSD).
Easy enough so far.
Here is the code.
Private Sub DGUserBets_EditingControlShowing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs) Handles DGUserBets.EditingControlShowing
[Code]....
The problem I have is that it would seem that if a user selects the desired outcome from the combobox but does NOT hit Enter, and simply mouses on to a different combobox to again select the outcome for a different row, the first eventhandler is not disconnected and thus the events fire multiple times. This then causes various default MsgBox errors and brings up problems when the user tries to commit all changes to the DB/exit program etc etc.
What do I need to do? Do I need to .EndEdit somewhere appropriate to force the row to save the changes? And where should I call this?

I am trying to programmatically add an unspecified amount of new UserControls to a form. One will be added every time an entry is selected in a ComboBox contained within the UserControl. Problem is, the SelectedIndexChanged event fires completely erratically. Sometimes twice, sometimes 3 times, etc., but never just once. No matter how many times I set the combobox's SelectedIndex to -1, it fires at least once with a SelectedIndex of 0. Sometimes the Itemselected event fires multiple times inbetween SelectedIndexChanged events.
InvoiceEntry.vb snippet:
Public Event ItemSelected As EventHandler
Private Sub cboItem_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As System.Object, _
e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboItem.SelectedIndexChanged
RaiseEvent ItemSelected(Me, EventArgs.Empty)
End Sub

I have a custom (inherited) TabControl which adds Drag/Drop functionality to it, so that one can drag the tabs around, either within the same control (to re-order them) or to and from other TabControls. I've noticed some time ago that my TabControl however was not raising its MouseClick and MouseUp events (or actually: it is not calling its OnMouseClick and OnMouseUp methods, which comes down to the same thing). I've been struggling with this problem for a long while and I finally figured out what is happening. I'm no closer to figuring out what to do about it though... The problem seems related to the drag drop functionality. I have this code in the OnMouseDown method (which is raised as usual):

I know that there is usually a DoDragDrop method that starts a drag and drop operation. And that there are events (such as DragEnter, DragOver, DragDrop, DragLeave) that can be handled on the target side.
Are there any events on the source of the dragdrop that will tell me whether the dragdrop operation was completed, or possibly cancelled?

I trying to do a drag drop from a listview in one form to another instance of the same form (same application running twice).I have it working with single items selections, but I want to make it work with multiple selections. 289508(VS.71).aspxThis works if I drag/drop onto itself (the same form), which I don't want, but I need it to work across instances.During debugging it seems the code DragDrop code just quits at the line during the drop:Dim myItems() As ListViewItem = e.Data.GetData("System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem()")Any ideas what is wrong or how to drag/drop multiple items in a listview between apps?
here's my code:
Private Sub ListView1_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles ListView1.DragDrop

I have a very simple app working well, problem is that it does not close properly. If the user uses the little "X" to close it, it still remains running, just becomes invisible. The X does not fire the closing/closed events..All I can figure out is that to get it to properly close I need to use "Me.Close()" with a button or menu item.I could remove the standard X and force them to use my own close button but that is rather silly..

I have this issue where I'm trying to generate HTML to display on the page that is coming from the database in form of a template that has different curly brackets that get replaced with dynamic content at run time. For example curly bracket {Content} gets replaced with a few checkboxlists, radiobuttonlists, textboxes and a submit button. The way I'm doing this is by creating controls dynamically and rendering them as string and then outputting that string to the browser. But what this does is, it doesn't recognise the events assigned to the controls when they are generated. I may be taking a wrong approach to the issue, but I don't really see how else this can be achieved. I have put up some sample code below to show what I'm trying to achieve.
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then

I'm working on a custom scroll bar. When dragging the slider, things work smoothing with what I have... that is if the users movements are smooth and slow-ish. When moving quickly the mouse move event doesn't seem to fire as accurately as I had hoped.. I attempted using the up and down buttons enter event for re positioning or "resetting" the slider whenragging is activated but still those events don't even fire when the mouse move event is firing. So I believe I hit a barrier of my .Net knowledge and hope someone here knows a way around this little issue.

I have a program that reads data from a scanner via the serial port.This program works fine on Windows XP.We have a terminal server set up running Windows Server 2008.I run HyperTerminal on our test terminal, it connects and reads the scanner data fine through COM1.I run my app on that same test terminal and get nothing when I scan.My app connects to COM1 without errors and disconnects without errors.BUT, the DataRecieved event is NEVER getting fired.Neither is the ErrorReceived event.I have played with the Handshaking, with the RecievedBytesThreshhold and pretty much every setup setting I found.Set it up exactly like the settings on Hyperterminal.I have even tried starting a timer on a different thread to call ReadByte every second to try to KICK this thing into doing SOMETHING.Nothing has worked.
I have been trying to fix this for an entire day now.Added events to my class trying to see EVERYTHING that is going on. All I know is, it connects to the port and it disconnects from the port correctly but nothing happens in between.No data when I scan.No event fired at all between connecting to and disconnecting from the port.I have also downloaded other's simple serial communications applications.Nothing in .NET works.[code]

I am using about 5 different filesystemwatcher routines total. I am using the following
filewatch.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.CreationTime Or NotifyFilters.LastWrite
AddHandler filewatch.Created, AddressOf addfile
AddHandler filewatch.Changed, AddressOf addfile
filewatch.EnableRaisingEvents = True
However, there is one problem with it... whenever I open a file and change stuff, then close it without saving the changes, the events still fire. I am opening excel workbooks in code, then use xlsWB.Close(SaveChanges:=False) to close them, and the event still fires, where the file isn't really changed so it should not fire.

I have an object that is defined as a global variable based on custom class. Within that class I have an event that gets fired a certain intervals. These events are fired on the same thread as where the object is declared. How do I create a global object, but have the events within that object fire on a separate thread?

Iam wanting touse sendinput in a dos or background type app (can be a regular app thats hidden) that emulates mouse clicks and sends mouse moves to another multimouse application. an project that im working on for my school i work at and i need to send the input to it. The overview of the project is i need to have this code be in a service that runs in the background that when a person does a gesture with my kinect code then it clicks the left mouse or sythesis it with sendinput (need mouse up and down sent for this to work). The end programs that receive input are: a program written in the multipoint sdk and mouse mischief. I though about using the default usb mouse driver as an emulated mouse driver to handle the part about creating a usb mouse device that works
since most newer computers are using usb.

So I took this from an example. GetInstance() is called from hundred different places in my program, and when I debug, the line "Prog = New Program" keeps getting hit for each of those calls. Which I thought was exactly what should NOT happen.. Or do I have some fundamental misunderstanding?
[Code]....
It seems the "New" sub triggers a number of calls to Program.GetInstance, before the first one completes. This is due to me earlier having lots of shared public objects in this class, which are no longer shared since the class was made singleton. And these objects, when initialized, calls the Program class for reference to other of it's objects.
