View 6 RepliesI have a list box on my form with 2 value - "2010" & "2011". When I change the value in the listbox it should set the minimum and maximum value of 2 datetimepickers. Each time I try to change the value I get an error - for example if I change the listbox from 2011 to 2010 I get the error:
"Value of '31/03/2011 00:00:00' is not valid for 'MaxDate'. 'MaxDate' must be greater than or equal to MinDate. Parameter name: MaxDate"
If ListBox1.SelectedIndex = "0" Then
DateTimePicker1.MaxDate = #3/31/2011#
DateTimePicker1.MinDate = #4/1/2010#
DateTimePicker2.MaxDate = #3/31/2011#
DateTimePicker2.MinDate = #4/1/2010#
End If
If ListBox1.SelectedIndex = "1" Then
DateTimePicker1.MaxDate = #3/31/2012#
DateTimePicker1.MinDate = #4/1/2011#
DateTimePicker2.MaxDate = #3/31/2012#

I have 200 dynamic textboxes.
I am trying to limit the user input to exactly 5 characters ( not more, not less ), and numeric only.
I have been trying this :
Private Function txtValid()
Dim str As String
For Each txt As TextBox In Panel1.Controls
[Code]....
But it always shows the last messagebox. Not all 200 textboxes will be filled in, so I suspect that it may have something to do with that, but I just need to stop the user from entering alphabetical characters, and the entered field must have a length of 5
How can I make a textbox in which can be only typed a number like 12.00 or 1231231.00 or 123123
I've done this in a very long way and I'm looking for the best and fastest way.
Also the decimal separator must be culture specific.:
Application.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator
How can we limit the textbox to input ONLY three numbers and three letters?
View 2 Repliesi am trying to put a maximum row number of lines in a multiline textbox. What i want is to achieve something like a console, with a maximum number of rows, with the top rows to dissappear and to keep always the last i.e. 500 rows. a note: for the textbox text i use the following algorithm
dim text
textbox.text = textbox.text & vbcrlf & text
the problem is that after a certain number of rows the program starts to get a little slow. So i guess if i put a limit to the rows i will fix this.

Is there a limit to the maximum amount a List(Of T) can hold? I need to know because I have a program that could potentially wind up in a really large loop that would add over 200 or so items to a list at one time.

The program stops at 1000 when it is executing. Is there a maximum limit? Should compile or ling different?
If my Category and Forum selection is incorrect I am sorry and feel free to move it. I'd like to have the users input in the message box that will show.

View 3 Repliesso I created a new control. When the user changes the font, I don't want the user to change the font past font size 14. If the user changes the font past 14, the font should reset to 14.Here is what I have so far.
Private Sub LoginControl_FontChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.FontChanged
Dim myFont As Font
[code].....
The problem here is that this code makes the font, Arial 12 static, and whenever I change the font size, the font always goes back to Arial 12.
I'm doing an application for a school to help them keep track of student attendance and because I'm rather new to VB 2008 .NET I'm sure I'm missing something simple.see the screen shot and attached sample application showing the problem I am having.
The screen shot shows 3 open forms. I'm not able to get the value from the 3rd open form into the Student ID textbox of the 2nd form even though my messagebox shows a value is really in there.The attached application has 3 forms similar to the production application I'm writing which also includes 3 forms. Could you look at the application and tell me what we are missing to get the textbox data in the 2nd form to show up?

View 3 RepliesI am having one heck of an issue with a webbrowser control I am using. As part of my job, I am working on creating a tool to automate an older system that we still use. The part that is being automated is web-based, and the group running the automation does not have access to any automation tools like QTP. In order to give them something they can use, the idea was to build an application just for them. In this application, I have everything working perfectly, with the exception of the most important part: the entry of a policy number. The policy number goes into a textbox, and then the user presses a button. A part of the automation sequence involves the use of a timer.
If I manually navigate to the appropriate page and put the .SetAttribute statement in a button action on my form, it works perfectly fine. However, if I put the .SetAttribute statement anywhere that is being controlled by the timer ticking, it does not work.So, this works:
Private Sub btnTest_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTest.Click
Me.wbPrestige.Document.Window.Frames("WORKSPACE").Document.GetElementById("policynumber").SetAttribute("value", "1234567")
End Sub
but this does not:
Private Sub timerLoad_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles timerLoad.Tick
Select Case currentStatus
Case Status.wait_for_retrieving
[code]....
As a note, I do not have the Select statement in the Tick action; I have it in its own little sub. However, since it functions the same way no matter where it is, and to save space, I combined everything here. Also, at the time of the timer firing and setting things into motion to enter the policy number, the page is already fully loaded, so I don't think it is an issue with that, though I could be wrong.
It does not throw an error. The "1234567" above is passed in as a string, and doing a watch on it at run-time does show that the value is actually in there. It just seems like the .SetAttribute is not registering on the textbox. I have tried a few things ranging from "what-if" all the way to "that-is-so-dumb-it-just-might-work." Nothing seems to do the trick. I have tried sleeping everything for a few seconds just to see if there was an issue there. I have tried issuing the .SetAttribute command a few times in a row thinking it just wasn't taking the first time. Since setting .Focus() didn't seem to work for it, I even went so far as using SendKeys to move focus to the textbox on one attempt and API calls for mouse clicks (to click inside of the textbox) on another attempt. As a last crazy attempt, I had the Select statement doing a .PerformClick on btnTest (which works if I navigate to the page manually).
I am developing an application that takes user input into text boxes or list boxes or check boxes. I have 4 forms with questions of different categories. I want to form a paragraph string with some literal string text and add in the text from text boxes, selected item from list boxes and, either, add literal text string or add nothing to the string based on check box condition.dim strScopeParagraph as string
View 10 RepliesTrying 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've had a look around, once again and can't find how to set the minimum and maximum dates allowed to be selected on a calendar in ASP.net with VB.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and it's just a regular Calendar control at the moment...
At the moment I've seen things like:
Calendar1.DateMin = DateTime.Now
But Visual Basic doesn't seem to like that (maybe it's a C# thing?).
I want to set minValue and maxValue of text boxes to define a range of acceptable values for validation purposes.In VB 6 this is straight forward and can be done under text box properties, however in visual studio vb .net 2010 this is not the case or it may be the case that i am missing something.
View 4 RepliesIf you can set the height of a panel at run time
Me.Panel1.Height = 3 What is the correct syntax for setting maximum size (height)? Tried this several ways and been searching. I know this is simple.
Me.Panel1.MaximumSize.Height = 512
So I am playing around with the resize event. My form is 500 wide, my button.left is at 100. If I use:
Dim int As Double
int = button1.Left / Me.Width ' this = 0.2
'resize event
'Button1.Left = (int * Me.Width)
TextBox1.Text = (int * Me.Width).ToString
The number in the texbox is correct - proportion wise, but it won't set the button1.Left to this number. I'm sure this is because int is a Double where .Left is an integer?
