Basically what I want is for the program to have an extension/directory called "Flash" and then when you click button one for example it will get that file. Anyone know how to do this and make it work? I have the following AxShockwaveFlash1.Movie = "/flash/flash.swf"
View 3 RepliesI have my rpg, still, first time working on it n ages, and I want each user to be able to set their own personalized picture background for the game...
each character in the game has its own dedicated folder for each file that the character has relating to it...
what I want to know how to do, is to have my game copy the loaded/chosen background image to their respective characters data folder, and have the game reload/reset the games default background image, to the one piced by he player...I am having a hard time figuring out how to do this however...I've tried a lot of different things...and nothing is working yet...

In class i saved my program in with load of other test programs for the same assignment and got everything mixed up i finally figured out what was what and loaded the program in Visual Basic. Now my program doesn't recognize one of my forms when i try to access the design view of it. I hit run for the hell of it and the program runs with errors of course but the form1 "the missing one" shows up with all the buttons etc and i can use it.

i have a application that i designed for an assignment which uses a DB (ACCESS) However when i publish the application it fails to load even though the application completes.

I am new to Visual Basic (I currently have VB 2008 Express to play with) and have a question about automating MS Access applications.I have a number of MS access applications that interact with MS Excel, Windows commands and Adobe writer.The applications have multiple forms that require input and/or selection from dropdown list which are repeated for 15 different selections manually.Rather than change the application can I write something in VB to perform the manual process of filling foelds and clicking buttons? e.g. I can open a DB, display a form and then this requires two fields to have a date input, then a new form loads and a dropdown is selected. This is used to generate a report.I can see how to run the report and load forms, but can/how do I update the fields in the form.

if you will notice, the sub still needs to scan all forms before it display the form, please help to reconstruct the code so that I will not use the "for next" for in types, since assembly and formname are already given/provided.
i was doing a fair amount of programming many years ago, like 10 it feels like, so I'm sorely not up to date on how my newly downloaded Visual Basic Express expects me to communicate with it.I am writing a program that pulls a cell from a database after the user has gone through several forms to determine which cells they want. When I write it like that, it doesn't sound very efficient, but I've designed it this way for usability.Here's where I have a problem: Should I store the path the user takes in a string, an array, what?
Here's an example:Someone wants baseball stats and trivia. They run my program, main form pops up, they select National League button, the NL Form pops up. Now the way my program is set up right now, is there are two ListBoxes on the form, one is populated, and as the user selects a Team from ListBox1, it jumps to ListBox2. Once they've selected all the teams they want info for, they click a button Next.
What I now need the program to do is show the next form "Team: name" once for each team, and insert the name of the team on the form in the appropriate label which I'll have blank. This form will also do the Listbox thing except the first listbox will populated with Topics like HR Stats, Pitching Stats, Coach History, etc.
I am developing a windows app in VS2008 to be used along side ESRI�s ArcMap. Most ArcMap users will have dual monitors and I would like the user to be able to choose which monitor my app is loaded on to.
When I deploy the app using the standard install package, the app will load onto which ever monitor the user places the desktop shortcut. However, when using the ClickOnce method of deployment, the placement of the shortcut does not matter and the app always loads on the primary display monitor.
Is there a way to control where an app is loaded by code or any other method?
I got a combobox, that when the texted is changed, its supposed to run a query to update a field in my database. Here is the issue The event im using is TextChanged, well unfortunately when the page loads, it changes the text when populating the values. Is there a way to make this event wait to fire until after the list is populated? Ive ran into this problem before with datetimepickers, but I was able to offset it with a boolean, but this combobox is calling the textchanged event everytime it adds an item to the list.

View 2 RepliesI had created a form(MDI Child) which have 3 to 4 dataset on it. They all are loaded from the database at the form load event and therefore takes too much time to load and show some part of form during that time. When it load completely it shows the whole form. Is there any way that user will see the complete form instead of some broken form.
View 4 Repliesso what I want to do should be pretty simple. I've been following the examples found here Using the BackgroundWorker Component - VBForums . I've been successful, but I'm not smart enough to put it in my project.
What I'd like to happen is this
1. I hit a button to load data from a dataset....
2. have a progress bar show until this action is complete.
The main problem is that I can't figure out how to tie the "progress bar" to the action of "pulling the dataset"
I'm sure this is a crazy question for you all, but hey...
Would I put all of the coding in the button_Click sub?
I am developing an application where a listbox is loded at form load. This runs ok with a .txt file however if I try to load similar .doc files nothing appears in the list box.
View 1 RepliesI have upgraded a solution with several projects inside from VS2005 to VS2010, and because of a dependency issue I updated all projects to target .NET Framework 4.0. One of the VB projects now doesn't load two of its forms. I got an error:

Another form loads perfectly. The DependentVBProject builds fine, and is set as a dependency for the startup project.
Before upgrading to .NET Framework 4.0, this project loaded fine, but something else that had it as a dependency did not build (because of other 4.0 dependency).
Hi,
How to load multiple SAME forms location? I have no problem to load 2 different forms' location but the multiple same forms' locations.
The following code is for loading the different forms:
Private Sub Menu_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Location = My.Settings.Location
Me.Visible = True
'Usually i have multiple Form1 are opened when i close app.
Dim f1 As New Form1
f1.Location = My.Settings.test
f1.Visible = True
End Sub
Thank you for the helps!
I am performing a migration on a vb6 program, to vb.net. The basic knowledge you need to understand this question is that there are two forms that need to talk to each other, frmInput1 and frmInput2. I have the following code (behind frmInput1) that checks if a textbox on frmInput2 has a certain value, seemingly before it has loaded:

i searched for stuff to load files/forms, in this case forms from a combo box... this is what i have so far, except it doesn't do as it should..

Select Case ComboBox1.Text

also, is it possible just to click the item in the combo box and have it automatically load up the form?

View 1 RepliesWhen you complete various feats in my program, on a form called "User Details" there is a label with the text that says "Complete" only when you have completed a particular game. There is a save button, and a load button, all on different forms. How could I make a save and load feature? One that saves the fact you've completed certain games - and then when you press load after exiting and reentering the program, the Complete text will reappear.
View 9 RepliesWhen I load a 2 forms from frmMainForm I use:
frmBookingForm.MdiParent = Me
frmBookingForm.Show()
frmQuickView.MdiParent = Me
frmQuickView.Show()
So no matter which form I click that form always comes to the front.
When I load a form from frmQuickView I use :
' Check if Booking Form Already Open
If My.Application.IsFormOpen("frmBookingForm") Then
frmBookingForm.BringToFront()
Else
frmBookingForm.Show(MdiParent)
End If
The first part of the IF statement is ok, the problem I have is with the second. No matter what I try, frmBookingForm always stays at the front and all other forms remain behind it. I tried it without the MdiParent in the brackets and when ever I clicked on a form frmBookingForm went into the Taskbar.

I have a simple vb.net app written using MS Visual Studio 2008 with SP1 and .NET framework version 3.5. This app simply queries a MySQL table into a dataset, makes a csv file from that data and then uses Oracle SQL*LDR to load a local Oracle table. Nice and simple.
This app runs fine on just about any computer or workstation I have tested it on with no issues but when I move it to the workstation it will live on...it shuts down just before it hits the load event. I have tried to capture any errors but so far there do not seem to be any errors generated at any point...it simply terminates with no explanation.
I even went so far as to recreate the project from scratch and still got the same result. this phenomenon only seems to occur on the very pc I am expected to deploy to.
the only thing I know for sure is that it is getting at least as far as the declaration section of the form. Once it has dimmed all objects/variables/etc..it seems to just shut down.
basicly i had to format my computer, so i needed to reinstall Office 2010 and VS2010, but now my solutions wont load, VS isn't giving much information about it apart form its a object refrence equalls null, but i dont have a clue where to start as it happening before the form load. this is all the information i can give.
An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.System.InvalidOperationException{"An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."}i have tried cleaning, rebuilding, build solutions and none is helping, if any1 can think of anything else to try please say, another option would be Their is a bit of software call teamviewer that i use, if anyone would be willing to download it and instal it, it would give them the ability to controll my computer to have a look and see what has went wrong.
I have two forms. On form one, I have a serious of check boxes and in form two I have functions relating to those checkboxes. When the second form loads, I check the Checked State of the Check Boxes, and run the appropriate functions. This is working just fine. The problem I have, is that the second form doesn't show until the functions that have been selected have completed. It would be ideal if the form would load and then run the functions.
I don't think that I could have everything run on startup, but hopefully there is another method. I know I could load the second form and then just run the code in the previous form, but this is less than ideal, because I can't show the second form as .ShowDialog and I want to be able to split up the code into the other form so that it's not so crowded and easier to read on the first one.
