View 2 RepliesI am looking for a VB control that operates as a more or less transparent or semi-transparent ruler or bar that can be scrolled up and down the form over an invoice or letter, so that the user can see what is under the ruler/bar and thus stop scrolling when he reaches a certain point.
To give a bit more detail of what I am looking for - such a bar is used when someone is setting the focus on a line of a long list of items so that they know where they are all the time. Most people would use a ruler on a paper list to keep track of how far they have progressed down the list. It would be nice though to have the "ruler" or bar as semi-transparent so that the user can see under where he is at on the list or form.
I have an advanced word processor and I need to add a ruler. I have searched the web and cant seem to find just the ruler control in inches.
View 4 RepliesThe project I'm developing at the moment requires RTF (rich text format) support and a full WUSIYUG editor, however I am very short on time so I'd like to consider an alternative. Instead of designing a new interface and creating buttons and toolbars and everything from scratch, I'd like to use WordPad to create the RTF documents and a RichTextBox to show them in-application.My idea was as follows:When the user needs to create a new document (once the document has been created, it will remain read-only), the application would launch WordPad via Process.Start and then it will wait until it exits. I think I can manage it up to here.Next, the user would save the file and the file's location should be sent to the application. If possible, I'd like to be able to retrieve the saved file's location automatically via code, or at least choose the preferred path (the directory which appears first when you save a file).
If retrieval of the saved file's location is not possible, then I was considering using SetCurrentDirectory to set the preferred path to a certain folder, instructing the user to save the file there under any name and then comparing the files in that folder with a previously created list to see which file was added. For obvious reasons, I'd prefer this method to stay a last resort

source code above is a part of my wordpad's source code. in my wordpad,why SAVE menu(SaveToolStripMenu) is function like a SAVE AS menu?
for example:i save a RTF file in my PC.and then i open it with my wordpad and edit that file.when i click SAVE menu,why this wordpad command me to save this file?I think this file is saved before.
I have a subroutine that needs to accomplish the following things:
1. Open wordpad (wordpad.exe) - so the user can see the file being written to for printing purposes.
2. Create wordpad file (Sample.wri)
3. Write various text to Sample.wri (in the wordpad window that opened) using Streamwriter. Again, this is for printing purposes.
The code below is the start of the subroutine. As it is written, Wordpad does start, and Sample.wri is created. But the streamwriter DOES NOT write the "does this work?" text to the file created, nor does it display in the window that opened when wordpad process started. I'm new to using streamwriter so I'm sure I've overlooked something simple. The start of my subroutine is below:

View 1 RepliesI have a question regarding waiting for closing a window or changing focus back to my app. What i have is an app that creates a few tables, that then puts the tables into a temp file that wordpad opens for the user to check they are correct, this is where i need help, i would like to now wordpad is open wait until the user closes wordpad or changes the focus away from wordpad until i open the next form which is responsible for using the tables and converting them into xml.
Which event should i look at using that fires when a program is exited or gets focus?

I am attempting to make a unit converter that converts between km, m, cm, miles, yards, feet, and inches. I have a textbox that is used to input the value to convert followed by a space and the units (i.e., 56 km) and a second textbox where the user types what unit they want to convert to (i.e., cm). When converting, the output will be displayed in the second textbox. (I know this is complicated, but this is the way it is to be done). I am doing this using sub and function procedures and If blocks and Select Case blocks (i.e., keeping it as simple as possible).
