Forms :: Generating Custom Code For A Windows Form From User Input
Mar 30, 2009
I am trying to figure out how to generate code from user input. In Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic.My script always begins with:function Init (Quest)Then from here a user would input a quest name, type and zone in a interface using windows forms.[code]I would also like to have these available on the UI but wont generate unless a user checks a box to add them or there is a box already for them but wont step into the code unless the user enters something into the box.Is there anyone that can explain how I would go about doing this. Or maybe some kind of visual studio plugin that will help me out.

How to generate code from user input. In Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic. My script always begins with:
Code:
function Init(Quest)
Then from here a user would input a quest name, type and zone in a interface using windows forms.
Ex:
Code:
RegisterQuest(Quest, "Kill Zombies", "Heritage", "Firestorm")
end
This part a user would enter in his interface what would an NPC say if accepted.
[Code] .....
What I need is a few text boxs that a user can input "Kill Zombies" or whatever they like and when they push a generate button it will create a file with a .quest extension. All of the code remains the same except for the quotes that would be the user input from the interface. Basically everything in quotes can be changed by the user in an interface. I have created my own functions for when a user accepts, deny and complete a quest. The user just needs to input what should happen then click a generate button to throw it all together as a .quest file to be saved in his or her quest folder for the server to call on later.
I also have many other functions like:
AddQuestRewardFaction --- (Quest, Faction ID, Amount)
AddQuestRewardCoin --- (Quest, Copper, Silver, Gold, Plat)
AddQuestStepObtainItem --- (Quest, Step ID, Description, Quantity, Percentage, TaskGroupText, Item ID(s))
Etc
I would also like to have these available on the UI but wont generate unless a user checks a box to add them or there is a box already for them but wont step into the code unless the user enters something into the box.

I'm developing a windows forms application using VB.NET. I'm currently working on DataReport (by Microsoft, not Crystal). Everything works fine when using DataSet as DataSource. But I have a question on how am I going to put data to my DataReport from a user input? Preferably when the user is on the act of printing(clicking the print button in the ReportViewer), a Form will pop-up and ask him for input. That input I'm talking about is random names of people, and we don't have to track their names so there's no reason to put it on the database.
Here's my simple setup:
MainForm.vb (Form)
MyReportViewer (ReportViewer)
MyReport.rdlc (DataReport)
[Code]....
If it is impossible to do it on the act of printing. Maybe on the MainForm_Load event or before the generation of report can do.

I only managed make the form always on top. But what I want is when the form is on top, user cannot access the other application in the windows.
For example : Some messagebox won't let users access the other application until the users hit the OK button.

I am trying to draw textboxes when the user enters the amount of textboxes to be drawn on one form and the textboxes get displayed on the another form. I have found these codes online but it works with inbuilt codes I guess. That is, the number is already hard coded in the form.

I am creating a form for work where managers can report when they find a customer's personal information laying around on a desk (we work at a call center where agents answer calls for a wireless cell phone provider, so we take personal information security very seriously). Anyway, I am wondering if there is a way to have a text box autofill with that manager's windows username (since they will need to be logged into their own profile to use the form).

I have written a custom Bindable RichText Box, so I can bind to the Document property. However, as soon as I set my document content, the only keyboard input it accepts is the backspace key (???). No other keyboard input is acknowledged (including the arrow keys).

Trying to imitate a Messagebox - in that, a sub will not continue until the user "deals with" the pop up.
For example, in a sub, I want a Form to pop up, and ask a user a question, and give them 3 options. I want to make it so the user must click an option, and then the sub that called it can carry on it's way.
I believe I need a function to make this happen.

I currently have a windows service that is packaged up as an msi installer. However, during the installation i need the user to input their required filepath (to string) location. The filepath variable currently resides in my component class called MyNewService that is inherited from System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.
Is there anyway i can allow the user to define the filepath variable during installation?

I need to get the user input for where they want the files that will be produced by my windows service to be stored.
I was thinking that i could do this by reading in the user's input to a variable in the on start event of my service? this variable is then later used in my xml writer.

I'm trying to write vb code to verify a password input by a user to known table passwords in access database. The form has a drop down combo box that has userID's that are selectable. I'm trying to get the index number out of the combo box selection and use that to look up what the password should be. With that information i can then compare the stored password with the password typed into the text box below the combo box. All of the examples i've found that direct me show the code in regular Visual Basic. I'm using Visual Basic 2010 with the .net architecture.

I know there are work-arounds like using a Select Case, but in my situation, it would make things a lot easier... especially since I won't know exactly what will be entered. I can't force the user to use a combobox or anything like that either, because it is going to be unique code for every situation. If there is no way of doing this, I will figure something else out, but it will require a lot more work.

I have to design a custom "log grid" control to use in another of my projects.Up front, I am new to vb.net 2008. I have used VB6 for years and I am trying to learn how to resove the differences as I go. But I need help.
This log grid contains 96 columns and 4 rows.I tried using the TableLayoutPanel and a Panel per cell but found the control to slow to paint. That's 384 discreet controls.I am now trying a usercontrol with a panel and GDI+ to create the grid. I've created a collection for the columns and a collection for the rows. So far so good. My mouse clicks raise the correct events per cell.
I now need to indicate which column the mouse is over. This is the problem. The column must be highlighted by a vertical bar from the top of the column to the bottom. It must also be transparent. I need to see the gridlines under the highlight. I've tried using region using the following code. (myRegion is declared Private MyRegion as Region at module level for persistance)

I'm trying to use ResolveUrl() to set some paths in the code behind of a custom ASP.NET user control. The user control contains a navigation menu. I'm loading it on a page that's loading a master page.When I call ResolveUrl("~") in my user control it returns "~" instead of the root of the site. When I call it in a page I get the root path as expected. I've stepped through with the debugger and confirmed, ResolveUrl("~") returns "~" in my user control code behind.Is there some other way I should be calling the function in my user control code behind to get the root path of the site?
