View 1 RepliesI have a vb.net application successfully processing the text in TIF files, but it is ignoring the checkboxes. Is there anyway to use MODI to process anything within the file that is not text? Such as a mark that a person has made with a pen inside a checkbox? I think I would need to be able to evaluate where the pixels are. This is for a zero budget personal project.

I'm realy green when it comes to programming but I like to think I am learning quickly. However, I cant figure out how to generate a number of random numbers baised on the vailu of a numeric slider. So for example I am generating a number between 1-12 where each point of value for the slider would generate an indiigual number that can all be added to a final total. I would also like to be able to back the slider down to a previous number and have the same total I had last time I was at position x. This is what i have so far:

View 6 Repliesis there a way to check if a string contains characters other than numeric? ive used isnumeric quite a bit and its pretty usefull, but cant find a way to check for text in a string. Having searched around theres a few ways of doing it slowly that ive found using an array of letters and a loop / instring, but thats much more hassle than checking for numbers, so strikes me there must be a way.

how to search a string for numeric type characters and return only the numeric characters to an int field? For example: A field contains a string of "Net 30 days" or "Net 10 days" etc. I want to return only the "30" or "10" or whatever # to a int field.
View 17 Repliesis there any function to validate if a string has only numerical characters? I can cross character for character and verify if it is a number. But I look for something simpler or if already a function like that exists.
I cannot use IsNumeric or IsDigit because it returns numbers to True with point or comma.
I need only numeric characters (no comma nor points
I have a program that requires a string. The string is 20 characters long. The string also have to be split into 2 words the first word is 12 characters and the second is 8. If the strings is not 20 characters long I get an error. I wanted to know how can I get the program to start back over and let me enter another 2 more words if the string is not 20 characters long. At the moment after I get the string is not 20 characters long error it continues to read the rest of the program but I want it to stop after an error and let me start over from the beginning.
View 3 RepliesI have a task to resolve, it is regading extracting characters from a long string to the console, the extracted text shall be reformatted and saved into a CSV file. The string comes out of a database.
It looks something like: UNH+RAM6957+ORDERS:D:96A:UN:EGC103'BGM+38G::ZEW+REQEST6957+9'DTM+Z05:0:805'DTM+137:20100930154
The values are seperated by '.I can query the database and display the string on the console, but now I need to extract the Keyword 'ORDERS' for example, and lets say it's following 5 Characters. So the output should look like: ORDERS:D:96A then I need to extract the keyword 'BGM' and its following five characters so the output should look like: BGM+38G:After extracting all the keywords, the result should be comma seperated and look like:
ORDERS:D:96A,BGM+38G: it should be saved into a CSV file automatically.
I tried already:
'Lookup for containing KeyWords
Dim FoundPosition1 = p_EDI.Contains("ORDERS")
Console.WriteLine(FoundPosition1)
Which gives the starting position of the Keyword.I tried to trim the whole thing around the keyword "DTM". The EDI variable holds the entire string from the Database:
Dim FoundPosition2 = EDI
FoundPosition2 = Trim(Mid(EDI, InStr(EDI, "DTM")))
Console.WriteLine(FoundPosition2)

I am using VB.NET 2005 and my problem is to sort binded DataGridView using numeric sorting (but for strings). As i understand problem is the same as in:http:[url].......or in http:[url].......My DataGridView.Datasource = DataTable. I want DataGridView to be able sorting numericaly when Column headers are clicked. This common function must be very easy, but unfortunately it is not :(. How can i get write sorting? I don't find answer in internet.Link1 is without explanable and i think it is for unbinded DataGridView and link2 is for for C+ or C#.
Examples:

View 8 RepliesI made a small license generator app with a datetimepicker, a textbox and a button on the form. When I ran the app and clicked the button to generate a license I got - 16DDD-06DDDD-09DDDDD, and each subsequent button click would get me a license with a different generated character (16444-064444-0944444, etc...).
I thought this was unusual as it should be generating a random character not a repeating one, so I stepped through in debug and the characters generated were random (161g2-06T5ip-0957H9k). I thought perhaps that I needed to seed the value with Now().Milliseconds, no luck, that still resulted in repeating characters. So I tried sleeping the thread and that generated the random values I wanted.

i have created a control as above, this control allows me to import a png with alpha channel and random shape. and then it can display on top of any other control, i.e. textbox, picturebox,etc. and the background should always show what right under it, instead of just show its parent control. it worked if it's static mode, ie stand still in the form. but when i tried to drag/move it, the control wouldn't render itself properly,and also goes underneath other controls.
