View 4 RepliesI have a VBA form in Microstation I am using to try and help automate a task. The only problem I am having is I am reading a textbox (Filebox.Text) and setting it as the variable (FN). It works, because I used Msg.Box (FN) to test it. However, in two of the lines of code, I am trying to use (FN) to pass the typed in filename to the command to run in Microstation. Unfortunently, it gets passed on as (FN).dgn instead of the actual filenale typed into the textbox. Is there a way I can make the variable actually seen as a variable? Code on Pastebin: url....Also, not sure if this is the right section, 100% new to VBA, coming from a world Bashed together.

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?

I am using VB .net 2010 express from microsoft. I have a numeric up down box to display a variable that the user can choose a number for. Then I have a text box that I want to display a result of the updown box * 1.5... So far I have the following... What do I need or need to change?

2.The Einstein's equation E=mc2 relates three variables, E, m, and c. create four TextBoxes, two for the names of variables (E, m, c) and the other two for the values of corresponding variables. Based on the entered names and values, calculate and display the unknown variable in another TextBox.
I am using the VB ReportViewer and report designer. I am not using the report wizard as I have had no success creating the report I want that way (I'm new to all this).
I have created a view holding all the columns I want to report on. Half the columns have values to be displayed in the body of the report in tabular form. The other half contain values on which I wish to group. Although there are several columns in this set, the values do not change except when the group value changes. Eg
Group col1
Group col2
Group col3
[Code]....
I cannot discover how to achieve this using the tools provided with the report designer.
