I am trying to copy text from a standard rich text box on a button click. However, I only want the first 3575 characters to be copied to my second rich text box, and after the 3575 I want a further 8482 characters to be copied to my third.
View 2 RepliesI have a form that I am creating to document information about computers that I build. I have created the basic layout, what I have is a group box that has many different controls in it (text boxes, combo boxes, additional group boxes etc) What I want to be able to do is have a button that will copy the group box (computer information) and all of its contents and then paste it below the first group box with all of the fields blank or in their default setting; and keep doing this for as many computers as I want to add. Each project I do has a different amount of computers on it so I want this form to be able to handle any amount of computers.
I can't seem to find much on what I want to do, any pointers, direction or idea's
I was able to do this with an excel spreadsheet but all I had to do was reference and select a cell range, scroll down and paste the new section in. This is my code from excell, just as an example of what I did then. But with VB I'm stumped on how to approach this.
Range("U3:AB11").Select
Range("U11").Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False

In VB 2008, I am trying to create an app that will copy a range of cells from one worksheet ("xlWS1") in the first workbook ("xlWB1") to another worksheet ("2") in a second workbook ("xlWB2"), starting in cell A1. I would like this to be activated by a button.Then, another button will copy the same cells from "xlWS1" to "xlWB2", worksheet "3", and so on for each subsequent button.
xlWB1/xlWS1 contains data in the cells that is updated from our data acquisition system once per second. (we perform jet engine testing). "xlWB2" sheets (6 of them) will contain the saved data from the "live" screen (xlWS1, came cell range) in the first WB. There are several different versions (filenames) of the second workbook, one for each engine model.Both workbooks should already be open, but I would also like the app to open them if they are not open already.
We have been using VBA macros to do this, but run into problems when someone saves the second (destination) workbook under a different filename. For some reason, if the filename of the Wb that is already open isn't the same as what's in the macro for that button, the macro's defined workbook is renamed in the macro. I am trying to get away from using the macros to keep this from happening, and to make an app that's "foolproof" so it is more reliable.
I already have an app that will open the proper workbooks. I may combine the two apps in the future. I can't find a solution for this. The VBA code is quite different and simple as far as opening, activating, copying, etc. Basically, I can't seem to find any self-explanatory "activate/copy/paste, etc." namespace in Vb 2008 like I used in the VBA macros.
I'm sure the solution is simple, but I just can't seem to find it in the MSDN library or the VS 2008 book I have. Everything in the book talks about accessing databases, which we don't use (yet). There's nothing concerning this issue with Excel 2003 workbooks/worksheets.

I'm trying to copy a Range from Excel and Paste the information in powerpoint in either the HTML or the default format, however, I am having some difficulties. I am able to get the code to work for pasting the Range as an OLE Object but nothing else. The problem with doing this is that having the embedded excel documents in the powerpoint makes the file extremely large and unstable. I just need to be able to paste the information without the embedded information where it is editable (so, not as a bitmap or picture).

I wish to display values of 2 decimal places whenever this field (datatype = smallmoney) is being read & displayed via a SQL select statement. Is there a simpler way out besides the following example? Im using VS 2008,

This doesn't seem like something that should be confusing or difficult, but I'm having a hard time finding the answer to this problem. I want to copy columns with their data, not rows, from one large DataTable to a smaller one.I have a DataTable with many columns of data (around 20), and a string array of the columns (4 ) that I want in the copied DataTable. Is there a reasonable way to accomplish this task?

View 2 RepliesI need to import data from files generated by a 3rd party program which scans our inventory as it passes through the production line.This program, rather than inserting the data into a backend db or even a log file, creates a series of .asc files per item that passes.
I originally intended to watch that folder and move new additions to a temp location, import to our db, then move to a final resting place for archiving. As it turns out, i cannot move these files, because the program checks this directory to perform a few critical functions
1. the file name serves as a primary key to ensure item ID's are not duplicated...
2. when running a sequential set, it auto-increments from the last file created.
Since I cannot move the files, is it possible through System.File.IO or some other means to copy files to a temp location, run my imports, then move to the final location then continue to watch this directory, and only move files to the temp location that do not yet exist in the final directory?
Problem: Using the sub routing below, when adding a value to another value the results eventually change from 2-decimal places to multiple decimal places.Basically, the amount stored should always only be 2 decimal places, because the values passed in are always 2 decimal places. Output from calling the sub routine multiple times.
Running total = 329430.75
New Withheld Amount = 710.79
Running total = 330141.54
[code]....
As a workaround, I have a new routine that uses a custom round function to properly store only 2 decimal places - as the VB round function does not perform the type of rounding desired.I understand that we are removing the value from the dictionary and adding it back..

So my final goal is to take some columns from one form's datagridview (in form3) and place them into a seperate form's datagridview (form4). I started off by just trying to put all of the rows in there one-by-one. Later I will be moe picky about which rows I want. Below is the code I am using. The problem is that I am ending up with an empty form, but no errors.[code]

View 2 Repliesso I had an idea today while modding a game I play. I decided to make a mod-manager.In order to start the game with mods, you have to go to the website, log in, click playnow and view the source of the html file. From there you get the sessionID variable and add it to a shortcut on your desktop. I wanted to be able to automate this process by doing the following:
on button1.click: somehow parse the source of the html file to locate the line that looks like chis:
var sessionId = 'random26charSessionID'; and take what is inside of the ' ' and add it to textbox1.text
Any ideas? Not sure if it will be in the same line every time with add banners and stuff...so I wanted to parse the doccument.
I have multiple items in a checklistbox. In the page load, I'm trying to check specific items in the list (2,4,8)

I am creating a simple researcher application to access and store data. As of today it workes by entering a number into a text field and hit enter/button.

This should be rather easy, here's what i think might be a problem. I want only to show specific lines from the webpage, not the whole page.
