In old VB6, I could set all txtBox controls when members of the same index eg.txtBox(0),txtBox(1) etc., to all do certain things in a couple of lines of code, eg.
Private Sub txtBox_GotFocus(Index As Integer)
txtBox(Index).SelStart = 0
txtBox(Index).SelLength = Len(txtBox(Index))

I have multiple textboxes which I want them to perform the same thing upon clicking them. By default I can use the handles textbox1.click for 1 single textbox as shown below but I am not sure how to do handle multiples of them. Of course I can write a handler for every single textbox but I have about 50 of them. I am sure there must be a more efficient way. [Code]

I have put my business logic in a partial class as suggested in best practices. One of the conditions is that one of four fields of a row has have a value. Setting the errorprovider has no problems when creating a new row in the new row event. All the textboxes in the form show the error condition.
Dim ErrorString As String = "A value is needed for at least one of the " & vbCrLf & "Gallon, Fuel, Oil, or Misc fields"
e.Row.SetColumnError("Gallons", ErrorString)[code]....
The logic that sets them back to a no error condition though only sets the currently focused control in the form to no error. When the error is corrected.
MyFuelRow.SetColumnError("Gallons", "")
MyFuelRow.SetColumnError("FuelCost", "")[code]....
How can you reset multiple column errors at once?

I took a VB class a couple semesters ago and I did really well. Unfortunately, it seems as though we only covered the very basics within the class, as I feel rather clueless right now.
Here's my issue. I'm trying to write a program that will encode notes (like music notes, A-G#) which are entered by the user, into digits, 0-9. Now I have the system laid out, in that 1-8 will represent A-A, while a 0 or 9 preceding a digit will represent a flat or sharp respectively.
Now my question is actually rather basic, but I just can't seem to figure out how to do this. The user will enter the note sequence by clicking on buttons (12 of them). What I'd like to do is create one sub that will handle all possible button clicks. I suppose it's possible that I could have separate subs for each and every button; but it just seems more efficient and cleaner to have one sub that manages them all.
The part I have completed and working properly will display a message (the same message) in a messagebox each time any of the buttons are clicked. So I have the "Handles" part working for all 12 buttons. But what I'd like to do is write code, perhaps "If" statements such that If "btnA" is clicked, then say "You clicked Button A," and If "btnASharp" is clicked, then "You clicked Button A Sharp," and so on. Is it possible to do this somehow by recognizing which event was actually triggered?

I want to make a Sub handling both MouseHover and MouseLeave events. Is this possible? And if possible, how do I differ between MouseHover event and MouseLeave event?
I had a question about handling multiple events in a sub, like this:
Private Sub Form1_MouseUpOrDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseUp, Me.MouseDown
'do something
End Sub
Once the sub is called, is there any way to tell which event called it? (Whether it was a MouseDown or a MouseUp event?) Right now, I am doing a work-around as follows... having each event call the same sub and pass the info in. But it would be nice to not have that overhead.
Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseDown
ExecuteMouseUpOrDown(EventTypes.MouseDown, sender, e)
End Sub

Don't use ACCESS, EXCEL, or a TEXT FILE as a database. If you want your program to use a "local database", without any of the hassle of setting up a MS SQL or MySQL server, just click this link: >>> SQLite <<<.
I am new to VB but I want to find this out. For example there are two objects in my form and when I press W,A,S,D then Object1 should move Up, Left, Down and Right respectively. Object2 moves when I press the arrow keys. How do I make them move together and also separately depending on whether the key is pressed.
View 8 RepliesI started out with just one table called products but I had problems with doing an update; it said sql to complex which was because the product table had nearly 100 columns in. The products table consists of header information like product quality, colour etc. Then there are 3 blocks of columns which mainly consist of a size as being the column name and a quantity as being the value. I have put these in three seperate tables to get around the SQL update problem. My problem is what is the best way to code this. The tables link to the header table using an autonumber primary key.

I'm writing a simple application - address book. User enters new addresses and they are added as an entry to a list visible on the main form (frmStart). I use one form to add and edit (AddContForm). Add button on the frmStart works fine, however I experience some problems with the edit button as when I press it and enter new data they are added as new entry however the previous entry is still there. Logic is handled by Contact.vb class.
Contact.vb
Public Class Contact
Public Contact As String
Public Title As String
[code]....
Update:I really don't care much for whether the data on the AddForm is the old data or the new data. I think the problem now is that when I click edit previous entry on the list is not deleted (what I believe I have indicated in my question) - I tried to delete it (by using the if condition and checking what button was pressed) however it seems it is not working properly for some reason.
In the Catch of Try-Catch there are the following two properties:
e.Exception.Message.Count()
e.Exception.Message
Does the .Count mean there are multiple lines in .Message? If not, what is the .Count used for?
come years ago I bought an activex component to read some basic smartcard data. I created a simple form application and it has worked fine ever since. However, instate of a form application I now want to create a console application for the same purpose (the forms are unrequired and it just takes too long with multiple smartcards).
But I have been working on this for days now and somehow can't seem to get my events working. When I use 1 event, everything works fine, but as soon as I add my second event I get this error:
Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040202): E

I am trying to create a form where depending on what the user selects, they are shown a collection of images from the web. Depending on what they select there will be a different amount of images so each picture will need to be added dynamically.
I am able to create PictureBoxes dynamically however I'm stumped how to create event handling in order for each control to give a unique response.This is what I originally tried but I got an error..
Private Sub Form1_Load
For i=0 To 10
Dim picBox As PictureBox

The error I got was
'AddressOf' operand must be the name of a method (without parentheses)
How ridiculous that you can't include arguments in your AddressOf! Can anyone shed some light on my situation (or knows a better way of carrying out my goal)?
I am trying to pull some report details from a website. my home page is having a list of Report IDs, by clicking them i will be navigated to the detailed reports.. Similarly i have so many report IDs in my home page... i have loaded my page in webBrowser1 and capture the link of the first report id by looping through the page. After capturing the link of first report id i am trying to navigate to the link using webBrwoser2 which is placed in the same form. the page loaded sucessfully and i can extract the report to the textbox.
Here is the problem : before complete the navigation action in webbrowser2 the first loop used to get the links of report IDs got completed. So i am not able to loop all the report ID's Link to get all details.
I am not sure i am doing the right way of extracting a data from a web page..
I have a form called BaseReportForm that handles drawing some stuff to in a panel to create a template for a bunch of reports. The drawing all takes place in the Panel's Paint event and this form will always be inherited. In the inherited forms, I draw the specific details of the report in the inherited form's Panel Paint event. So I am drawing to the same panel from the base form and from the inherited form. It all works fine, but when I try to open the design view for the inherited forms, I get the following error..
Quote:
The event Paint is read-only and cannot be changed.
I'm not sure I am handling my paint events correctly. Is there a different way I should be handling the drawing of these reports?

I'm writing a tabbed web browser for someone who is learning VB.NET, and I have got to the point where I can add/remove browser controls into tab pages, controlled by one set of buttons on the main form, but I can't handle events from the WebBrowser objects.I have tried this but it says that 'DocumentTitleChanged' isnt an event of 'Control'...

browser.Add(New WebBrowser)
browser(0).parent = TabControl1.SelectedTab
browser(0).dock = DockStyle.Fill
AddHandler browser(0).DocumentTitleChanged, TitleChangedHandler()
