I'm working in Visual Basic Express 2008, and have created a little application to run a marquee to display information for our hospital, that will auto-update.
I am trying to position the form to sit flush with the top-right portion of the screen. I set the position manually, to 800,0 which does move it to about the area i'm looking for, but depending on resolution (which varies throughout the facility) it will not sit flush with the right side of the screen.
Is there anyway to set form parameters to right-align?
Dim fstream = new filestream(some file here) dim bwriter = new binarywriter(fstream) while not end of file read from source file bwriter.write() bwriter.flush() end while
The question I have is the following. When I call bwriter.flush() does it also flush the fstream object? Or should I have to explicitly call fstream.flush() such as given in the following example:
[Code]...
A few people suggested that I need to call fstream.flush() explicitly to make sure that the data is written to the disk (or the device). However, my testing shows that the data is written to the disk as soon as I call flush() method on the bwriter object.
When should I call the Flush() method (TextWriter.Flush() / StreamWriter.Flush() / BinaryWriter.Flush() / etc) ? Should I call it everytime I finish writing a stream?
This link explains the Encoder.GetBytes Method and there is a bool parameter called flush explained too . The explanation of flush is : true if this encoder can flush its state at the end of the conversion; otherwise, false. To ensure correct termination of a sequence of blocks of encoded bytes, the last call to GetBytes can specify a value of true for flush.but I didn't understand what flush does?
I'm attempting to discard the contents of a System.Net.Sockets.Socket send buffer using theSocket.IOControl(IOControlCode.Flush, .... Does anybody know whether VB.NET supports this command? I've tried supplying 'Nothing' and 'Nothing' for both required parameters, also empty and populated byte arrays in combination with 'Nothing' for both required parameters, but I consistently get an 'Invalid argument' exception. I've tried a web search for an answer, but the only mention I've found was a question asked about 8 years ago, with still no answer.
I am using VB 2008 to do some excel automation and I am stuck.I am trying to make the cell alignment to be left-top. When I programmatically insert a new worksheet, the alignment defaults to "left-bottom".
I am making my own captcha image and I have it pretty much working, but I can't figure out how to align the text in the image. I tried using a stringformat, but I can't quite get it lined up right. If someone could tell me where I am going wrong,
I have a combo box on my form, which aligns left. I want it to align right instead. In the Properties section I can change the RighttoLeft to YES but the dropdownlist will show on the right instead of the left.
I understand there is something called a PAD command which aligns text left and/or right instead of making spaces with quotes & blanks like this: (""). Where would I put it in my code to align my words and numbers left and right?
I have two 1d arrays each containing some string data. I need to dump the contents of the arrays to a single richtextbox. I can do this, however the text isn't aligned properly.[code]...
I'm trying to display a few words in a label control aligned right. I've tried setting the text alignment to TopRight / MiddleRight etc. but nothing seems to work and the text is always displayed left-to-right. How do I display text from right-to-left, like MS Word's "Align Right" feature?
I am working on a simple program, calculating an auto bill. When I display the results I want to have some text on the left, and some on the right. I'll post the code. Basically so everything lines up, if possible. Here is what I want it to look like:
Customer: Name Cost of labor: Cost Cost of parts: Cost Total Bill: Total
Here is the code: Public Class frmAutoRepair Private Sub btnBill_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnBill.Click Dim customer As String Dim hoursOfLabor, rate, costOfLabor, salesTax, costOfParts, partsWithTax, totalBill As Double customer = CStr(txtCustomer.Text) [Code] .....
I have a form that automatically goes full screen when it runs. I'd like to center align a web browser control at runtime, as it needs to have a fixed size of 720 pixels, but the form will automatically expand to fill the screen.I've tried
What I want to do is click a button (button will relate to a specific drawing / image) and have it appear on the cursor. I need to then 'Drop it' onto a form. Then I may need to select another button (button will relate to another specific drawing / image) and have it appear on the cursor, click on or near to the previous image and have the new image place itself against the existing on. I may choose to use drag and drop instead as the initial 'get image' command.
What I am trying to produce is an assembly building package where you can drag and drop various options onto the screen to build up a full assembly of a unit. My question is what would be the best 'work area' for this? Picture Box? or another type. I need to set the screen layout and then I can start looking at the code required for the controls.
I am having problems trying to center some text. I created a printdocument and it has a company name and title and then other information I have the information fine but I wanted to center the company name and I can't seem to do it correctly here is what I have
I originally tried:Convert.ToSingle((e.PageBounds.Width / 2) - (szF.Width / 2))
But it would print out wrong it would start in the middle of the document and print everything to the right making it go way to the right and off the page. Since then I changed it to what is in the code block but its still not right

So I've got a picture box and I want to load up all kinds of pictures programmatically , with unknown dimensions. So I pick sizemode Zoom to ensure that the image isn't distorted and I can see all the image. However if the image width is greater than height it vertically centres the image in the PictureBox control's bounds, leaving a gap at the top and bottom.
What I'd like is for the picture to be alighned to the top of the control in this scenario. So the picture will be immediately below a control above it.
Is there any way of acheiving this? Perhaps by over-riding paint event ?
Oh PS: The Picture box is docked to 'fill', otherwise I'd just change it's dimensions in code to have the same aspect ratio as the image.
I seem to be having trouble finding out how to right align the text in listview columns. We have common listview control at my shop and I need to align it at run time. Currently dollar values are left aligned. Alignment. doesn't have right as an option.
I've created another header row for a gridview programmatically. In this row I have a few controls including a label that I want to align all the way to the left of the cell. The one cell has a columnspan of 7 so it runs across the entire gridview. how do i align that label programmatically?
Dim cell As New TableCell Dim lblfilter As New Label Dim row As New GridViewRow(-1, -1, DataControlRowType.Header, DataControlRowState.Normal)
