I have a combo box and use the SelectedIndexChanged event. I noticed when I assign a value to the combo box that this event fires even though the user does not click on the control. Can you tell me how to test for when the user clicks on it and actually selects a value from it?

I am new to VB.net, i did a course in it about 5 years ago, and could do simple programs, but lost most of my knowledge, because i have not used it in such a long time, now i want to do something and cant seem to get it right, i have this game that i a play online, and i have a few accounts for it, so i would like to make a account logger, wher the usernames and passwords will be saved in a text file, and then i just open the vb program, select the username and the vb program will automatically set focus to the game window (which is windowed, not full screen).
Problem is just, the game client has 4 buttons, New Account, Play Game, About and Credits, i want to get a way for the VB program to set focus to the program(bring it to front, and then move the mouse to the coordinates of the play game button, goto coordinates of the username text box, click and write the username, same for password and then move to login button coordinates and click logon, wait a sec or two and move to either character 1, 2, 3's login button and click)

I am creating the items in a combobox in my code behind. I am setting the display member and the value member. When the user makes a selection from the combo box, I need to get the value of the selected item. I have written some code, but when I step through it, it says that the selectedvalue is Nothing.
Here is the code where I am creating the items in the combo box:
Do While drReader.Read
cboTheater.Items.Add(drReader("TheaterDesc"))
cboTheater.ValueMember = CStr(drReader("TheaterID"))
cboTheater.DisplayMember = CStr(drReader("TheaterDesc"))
Loop
In the selected index change event for the combo box, I am doing the following:
Dim strTheater As String
strTheater = CStr(cboTheater.SelectedValue)
When I step thru the code, strTheater is Nothing
I have a form on which the user selects a file using an openFileDialog. The selected filepath is then processed, which may take 10-20 seconds before the user is presented with the results.I'm finding that the once the user selects the file (clicking the OK button on the openFileDialog), the openFileDialog remains open until all of the processing going on in the background is completed. Once the processing has finished the openFileDialog disappears and the results are shown.The problem is that whilst the openFileDialog remains open on screen, it is not apparent to the user that anything is happening in the background. I do actually have a textbox which updates the user with messages showing the progress. However the openFileDialog hides the messages until it closes, essentially making the progress messages useless.What I'm trying to do is have the openFileDialog close immediately that the user selects a file. Then the processing can continue without the openFileDialog obscuring my form.

I have combo box selectedIndexChanged events going on but I cant figure out how to get the value out of them so that when i hit the btn_ProjSal that the new salaries show up in the 3 labels.

In my datagridview, I want to be able to change the value of comboBox1 depending on what the user selects in comboBox2
I had this working correctly, however if I move onto a new line in my gridview and select a different value in the second row it changes the previous row also. For instance, on Row1, if comboBox1 = A, combox2 = B
Then on Row2, if comBox1 = Y, comboBox2 = Z
However, when I change Row1, Row2 is also changed to reflect what was chosen in Row1. Is there a way I can tailor it to each specific row?

In my app I have a combobox and a sub wich handles the SelectedIndexChanged. It all works fine, but if the user goes crazy with the mouse scrollwheel changing the selected item in the combobox, the program will sometimes stop working for different reasons.
Now, what I want to do is to make some sort of sleep/wait function in the SelectedIndexChanged event handler, so that if the index hasn't changed in let's say 100 milliseconds, it will continue the code. If the index has changed, it will wait until the user has finished going crazy
What is the best solution to accomplish something like this? I've been thinking about using Thread.Sleep, but I can't find the correct way of doing it.
I have a simple web for that has a dropdown list and a button on the form.The dropdown list is bound to a table in my database and holds three values with idents between 1 and 3 (Weekly,Monthly, Please Select).I have set my datasource to pull back item 3 (Please Select) as the first item in the dropdown list to prompt the user to select an option. Items 1 & 2 have data assigned to them and this pulls back the relevent data for these options.
Here is my problem. I need to hide my button when the page loads until the user selects item 1 or 2 and would like the button to be hidden of option 3 is selected. I have tried to complete this in my page load event and the code for the dropdown list but i cannot seem to get this to work.
If IsNumeric(DropDownList1.SelectedValue) = 3 Then
btnAddAgendaTemplate.Visible = False
End If
I'm trying to create a for loop that will display the values (favorite programming languages) a user selects for a listbox.
So far I have this:
Dim selectedLanguages As String = ""
For intLoopIndex As Integer = 0 To languageListBox.Items.Count - 1
[code]....
So far, no matter how many items they select it will display a comma even if only one item is selected, example "C#,"However this is what I need it to do:
1. If the user selects one programming language than it should just printout the selected course with a period right after it. Example: C#.
2. If the user selects two languages it needs to have the text "and" between them followed by a period. Example: VisualBasic.Net and C#.
3. If the user selects three or more languages it needs to seperate them like this for example (again with a period at the end): VisualBasic.Net, C#, and Asp.net.
I'm in the process of adapting a current program that I've created to automate it. **Current State***User selects an excel file and the contents are loaded into a DataGrid User can select which environment to run their query against (stage/prod) Program completes processing and updates datagrid with new values User can export datagrid to excel What I'd like to do is centralize the program on one computer and have it monitor a network folder for creation of a specific file type (*.xls or *.xlsx). If one of these is created in that folder then I want to add that file to a queue for processing. Once done processing I want to send the results as an attachment to an email to the user that created the file. After a file is processed I would like to remove it from that folder as well (into a diff folder of completed items).

I'm using Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. I have a Folder Dialog Browser added in my form and I call it when the user presses a button. The folder path string is stored in a string variable and displayed as text in a text box. (maybe I should use a combo box)
My question is: If the user inputs by hand a non existent path, how do I return an error message, stop the file creation into the invalid path, and return to my main form?
It's probably the most basic of things, but all I can find is how to launch a program, and not with the interactions I desire. Any tips as to the terms to use to search for answers, or links to topics regarding questions similar to mine, would be very appreciated. I have a wealth of info to read through, but I could use your knowledge to save myself time.Here is what I am trying to do:
Use a Button (A) to Launch a Prompt where User Selects Directory Path to an executable Program. The Selection is to be Persistent after the initial selection (saved in a settings file i assume?), and the Selected Path (or just "programname.exe") is to be Displayed in a Text Field (B). Launch Selected and Indicated Program via a Launch Button (C)

View 3 RepliesI have a few reasons that I need this to happen, but suffice it to say that when I use the event handler for the RadioButtonList the sender object returns as just the RadioButtonList, and I need more information from the GridView because that's how I can uniquely identify which record my RadioButtonList is tied to.I added an "OnSelectedIndexChanged" property to my GridView but it doesn't fire/handle when I want it to. I'm assuming this has something to do with the way the GridView is designed to work. I also thought about using a hidden field, but I can't add it to the RadioButtonList so it won't help unless it's global. The problem with it being global is that I can't set the value uniquely to the record that has it's RadioButtonList being altered.
