frm.Location = "0,0"
or
frm.Location = (0,0)
tell what is the correct syntax ?
And more thing : when a form is maximized or minimized , it looks like "flying" upwards or downwards . Is it possible to stop that visual efect ?

View 6 RepliesI am developing an application with multiple picture boxes, each displaying a line graph. I want to be able to have a label following the mousepointer showing xy coordinates of the point. I also want to allow a user to zoom in on a specific picture box by double clicking on it. The code does what I want as written (changes backcolor so I know double click event fires) except moving the position of the label to follow the mouse pointer.
However if if uncomment the line in the MouseMoved sub:
LB.Location = New Point(e.X, e.Y)
Then the label moves as desired however the double click event no longer fires.

We have an application that has a main form with a map on it. Right now the paradigm is to have forms that are displayed using menu items to display information to the user. Most of these forms are modal forms, but a couple are non-modal forms that interact with the map. For some of the forms, it really would make for a better user experience if we could dock them in the main form of the app and allow the user to see both the form and the map. For instance. We could have a list of map features in a docked window, and select one of the items on the list and have the map zoom to that feature. Or do the reverse: let the users select a map item and have a docked window that shows details of the feature. Sounds great, but I wonder about what sort of gotchas we may encounter. In particular, what if we have two windows docked at the same time? Could we get tangled up in our event code?

View 3 RepliesThe file locations for a setup package using Standard Edition? I have added an .xls file to my project, marked it as Content and as Copy Always in the properties for that file. The XLS file I added to the project is from my user Apps folder in the Roaming sub folder. Other simple .TXT files are in my UserMy DocumentsData folder and each file is also maked as Content and Copy Always. When I create the setup package all goes well. I have a setup.exe and an .msi file. When I test it by installing it on my PC of course the program knows where the files are because it's my PC. In the program folder created as C:Program FilesMyProgram I find the .exe plus the XLS and TXT files, but these XLS and TXT files are not used from the program folder. How might I know if an installation made by another user on another PC elsewhere is going to load files in their user apps or user documents? I need to be sure that the additional data files deploy to the correct location (whatever I want that to be) on a remote PC.

View 3 RepliesI have a collection of locations for a sales person, allowing them to send an item to multiple locations. I want to start reading at index 1 since I am using a collection. I saw an example where you can say something like "+ 1" (e.g. myitem.SelectedIndex + 1) to skip the first record. How can I skip the first record for the following:
Public ReadOnly Property Customer() As ICustomer
Get
Return CType(Me.CustomerList.Item(Me.CustomerNumSelected), ICustomer)
End Get
End Property
I tried to say Return CType(Me.CustomerList.Item(Me.CustomerNumSelected + 1), ICustomer) but it returns an error saying "string cannot be converted to a double". without the + 1 in there, I get an error that says "collection index must be in range 1 to size of collection".

I'm however stuck on how to make my markers (PictureBoxes - two per player) move along the board.So heres my problem; I have 40 slots where the picturebox can be moved to (eg picturebox1.Top = 324, picturebox1.left=243). Now moving to these slots are determined by the roll of a pair of dice. How can I assign a variable preferably an integer for each slot so when the dice is rolled I can just do a little addition as to where the markers can be moved?

View 7 RepliesGreetings,
My app saves a bunch of stuff to an XML file. This is my line of code-
Using writer As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("C:vdx2kMWSREEXTReportsInboxTK" & frmCitation.txtCiteNumber.Text & "Traff.xml", settings)
So that saves it at that specific location.
I need to duplicate the XML and have it also save in another location. I've been at this for days, Googling, searching, trying different things and now I need to turn here for help.
Any ideas?
I have a generic question regarding file paths and user interfaces. I am trying to build a user-interface to accommodate various file locations. I typically build interfaces which deal with files on drives. As such, I use a directory tree for this. I usually work with files on local drives. However if I wanted to ensure that all file locations were dealt with I would want to ensure that I was accommodating files in all drives (local, network, mappped etc.). I am assuming that the treeview would support all of these drive option.
However if the files are on a sharepoint site or in some other type of enterprise content system, then am I correct to assume that these file paths will be URLs? If so, then am I correct to assume that a directory tree is not the correct control to use for these locations? Should I be providing a textbox to the user and prompting them to enter this URL? Or is it better to have the URL loaded into a ListView or ListBox (i.e. "My Connections") and then provide these as options via a dropdown box. I am trying to picture a typical user interface. Is it a directory tree AND a text box/dropdown box.
I'm developing a form that displays conference attendee data.I have a panel control on this form and would like to put a series of buttons at the bottom of this form that will open other forms in the panel. So for example, there would be a button to open the Address form, another button to open the Email form, and so on.There will be 10 buttons total. I have the Address and Email forms set up so far and it seems to work pretty slick.
Before I go any further, is this the best way to do this? FWIW, all forms will have a datarepeater control on them since there can be multiple addresses per attendee, multiple emails, etc.

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to keep control locations relative on maximize. For example, if i have a button on the very right hand of my window, when i maximize it, i want the button to remain on the very right hand. Or when i grow my window, i want my controls to change location so its always relative to the size of the window. how can i achieve this?
EDIT: To provide a better example, if i have a window with a button in the center, when i maximize that window the button should remain in the center rather than in the same location as before and therefore being out of place.

I am looping through a database with pdf locations. The application is button click event driven. The problem I am having is that I display a pdf. If the user clicks on the button then the pdf information is inserted into a database and the loop should be taking me to the next pdf. However, this loop does not seem to give what I need. What ends up happening is the first pdf gets displayed twice. I think mainly because I display the first pdf onload, but when I click the button it agrees and grabs the first item from the database. And it ends up falling behind because its restarting the query and I cant quite figure out how to get the button to catch the first displayed pdf, or skip it entirely since I am using a welcome pdf. So on the welcome pdf that is supposed to be displayed initially the user clicks agree and it agrees to the welcome pdf instead of just skipping it. I am not quite sure how to just move past the pdf.
public sub onload()
display the welcome pdf
end sub
[CODE]...
Now if I run the code without the loop it works fine. I just end up having to run the app however many pdfs I have in my database.
query data
display data
insert data
Windows.Forms.Application.Exit()
To display pdfs I imported the com control for adobe so pdfs get displayed like this:
axacropdf1.src = my.mysettings.default.readpath & pdflocation
pdflocation is passed from a query fill.
I think I have an underlying design issue which probably precedes the loop.
