When editing my code in vb.net, my cursor is a flashing box and it makes it difficult to change one character. I would like to get the i-beam back instead of the flashing box when editing code. Can't seem to find a setting anywhere.
View 4 Replies"First of all please TURN OPTION STRICT ON.I make no apology for the capitals - I consider it that important.When you do you will see that you are still using HorizontalAlignment instead of ContentAlignment.VB is converting from one to the other for you.Although that works fine here there are many cases when it will not be what you intended and can cause some very hard to find bugs.Under Tools | Options | Projects and Solutions | VB Defaults Set: Option Strict ON, Option Explicit ON, Option Infer OFF".I did do this but it showed no errors, so I placed 'Option Strict On' at the start of the code, it then showed HorizontalAlignment with the squiggly line. I did edit my code to show this but I think you must have read it before I did. All other suggestions I will note and from now try to implement.Using "magic numbers" in the code is not good practice and makes maintenance difficult.Declare all such numbers at the top and use the names in the code.Is this what you mean? Const SpinTime As Integer = 500
Now when ever I refer in code to SpinTime it will always be 500..Change the NumberOfBoxes to 10 and run the app.In mine, to change boxes to 10 I needed to alter the code in 5 places, in yours 1 place! Talk about proof of the pudding etc.Now to my question, in the program when the start button is clicked and the five random numbers are displayed I have to stop and restart the program to generate five more. So I thought I would create another button 'Reset' this I did and all worked but it seemed a waste so I then just kept the start button in place and changed the text to Reset eg [code] This is fine the one thing I can't figure is how to replace the five numbers that were removed so that it is picking 5 from 500 every time. Now I'm at the end of all this writing I have it! just comment out the line 'Numbers.Remove(Number).
How can I place a BG image on the tabs only (title area of tab)? I am also finding it dificult to change the tab text font, since it is changing the tab body font not the tab titles........??
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to add a feature to my program that makes it so when the cursor moves off of the form, the form drops in opacity, making it sort-of transparent. However, it's not working for some reason.
Private Sub hovertimer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles hovertimer.Tick
If MousePosition.X < "0" Then Me.Opacity = 60%

View 4 RepliesI am using this line of code to place a special character in a textbox at the cursor location:
Me.RichTextBoxPrintCtrl0.Text = Me.RichTextBox.Text.Insert(cursorloc, "ῳ")
It works good, but after it has been done, if you try to undo the action by pressing control Z, for example, it is not undoable. Is there a way to make the action undoable?
I am using a WPF richtextbox to create a syntax highlighter for code provided in a textbox. I want to have it automatically adjust the rich textbox as I am typing, using a thread timer I reset the contents of the rich textbox. I am trying to keep the cursor where it is suppose to be. I don't loose any text characters during the parse (except line breaks).
I don't know how to keep the caret position where the user has left it in the text. It defaults to the end of the document. I attempt to store the current caret position in the text and then set it to the document after I make my changes, however the error I receive is "Cannot set CaretPosition to be outside of RichTextBox." So I set the caret position to the bottom of the document.

View 3 RepliesFirst off let me just say i have imports for the excel and office applications. I am using office 2007. I am hoping someone can show me what I am doing wrong here.
I have been searching and researching for a few days now on formatting excell cells within the VB code. It works for most objects such as bold, font size, where i want to place the data and what I want contained in the cells.
I have been using the VBA within excel (macros) to determine the code i should use to format the cells, however, The underline feature doesnt work correctly as with any justification of the cells. or merging. I can't seem to make many of the format options work and am wondering if they are slightly different or if i need a few more code lines so that when i declare something like this...
CODE:
I get an error, xlcenter is not declared. I cant declare it as a string i just recieve a com error starting it couldnt be done.. I am stuck on how to get by these so called "undeclared" command strings that i need to format the cells properly.
I want to edit text, text in a textbox for instance, with vb code.For example: The text property of textbox1 is "Orange" When a user clicks a button, " Juice" will be added to the end of the string.So it will be "Orange Juice" Same thing w/ "Apple" Then it would be "Apple Juice"

View 2 RepliesIt seems like when there is only one row at the data grid view with a data source pointing to a data table, it's row state for the data table doesn't change when editing. It remained "unchanged" reguardless to how many columns I had entered. However,after editing, when you click on a different row or click on any of the column headers to change their sorting, the row's state from the data table then gets changed to "modified". I'm not sure why the data table's row states gets changed only when you do those things instead of finishing editing itself. Couldn't the data grid view be able to change the data table's row states when you finished editing a cell?
View 5 RepliesI have been learning VB.NET since the summer and I was wondering if it makes sense for me to skip learning the things in VB.NET that I do not know and move on to C#.
I think I may be more comfy in C# because I have been using Actionscript 3 for over two years and have toyed with Java and C.
On the other hand, I've never done anything serious with C or Java.
So, finish VB.NET or learn C#?
