How To Create Save And Open Buttons
Aug 3, 2009
I have looked everywhere for some info on how to code save and open buttons. In my program, there are textboxes and labels that will have info entered into them by the user. I need to be able save whatever is in the labels and textboxes. Then, I need to be able to open the file and have all values in the labels and textboxes to be restored to wherever they were. I want to be able to save and open just like in excel, word, and whatnot with a file that is saved onto the computer.

Each Group has an unknown number of randomly names Cases (children to Type nodes). I want to create this XML file, save to a directory and the open again later to load into a treeView control.

I am wanting to find out how to use the Win32 hooks to allow me to add extra save locations to the save and open dialog box so as to allow as an option for files to be saved directly to a database rather than a file system.I have tried looking online but can't find anything remotely usable for this, the only data on hooks that I can find involves Window operation hooks, mouse, leyboard, and shell hooks, nothing to do with files.

I have been playing around with Visual Basic for about a week now. I created a program that I use at work basically just to organize my day.
The program consists of buttons that link to programs and spreadsheets that I use often, as well as a checklist of tasks I've completed and text boxes that I use for reminders. Other buttons affect GroupBox texts and Label texts.
What I'd like to know is how I can implement a Save and Load button? I'd the current state of the program to be saved so it can be loaded in the event that I have to shut the program down. (Check boxes checked, Text in Text boxes, Labels, etc...)
I've been looking online for HOURS and I've messed around with the SaveSettings feature... nothing seems to work.

I'm trying to save my radio button settings in My.Settings...
At the moment I save the setting in the CheckChanged event for each radio button like this:
Private Sub Option1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Option1.CheckedChanged
If Option1.Checked Then
[Code]....
But if I close the program completely and reopen it, the settings will have changed back to the default settings

When you complete various feats in my program, on a form called "User Details" there is a label with the text that says "Complete" only when you have completed a particular game. There is a save button, and a load button, all on different forms. How could I make a save and load feature? One that saves the fact you've completed certain games - and then when you press load after exiting and reentering the program, the Complete text will reappear.

I'm using VB 2008, and I have created a Ribbon (Visual Designer) Add-In for excel 2007.When the user clicks a "Save" button, that was created at design time, this buttons click event prompts the user for the new file name...then saves the workbook.then uses the new file name as the label for a dynamically created button that is placed in Menu1, on Ribbon1...all of this works just fine.The problem is, this dynamically created button in Menu1 disappears when excel is restarted. So, I setup user scope settings in an attempt to save these dynamically created buttons.The settings properties are as follows:
Name = RibbonSettings
Type = Microsoft.Office.Tools.Ribbon.RibbonMenu
Scope = User[code]....
The problem is, this seems to lock Menu1 and the dynamically created button never gets added to Menu1. Without this, the button is added to Menu1 just fine, but disappears upon restart.How can I save these dynamically created buttons in Menu1 on Ribbon1?

I already have this code from another question on this website.
Help.ShowHelp(ParentForm,
("C:UsersBeaudeanDesktopHelp.chm"),HelpNavigator.TableOfContents, Nothing)
That works fine except i need the location of the chm help file to point to "my.resources" where it exists because i need to install my program but in that code example it only works with strings?

I'm making a web browser and am using the NewWindow event to open links and buttons in a new window. The problem is that it says, (Object is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser). Do I have to add a Reference to my application or something? Below is my code:Private Sub WebBrowser1_NewWindow2(ByVal ppDisp As Object, ByVal Cancel As Boolean)
Dim frm As Form1
frm =
New Form1
ppDisp = frm.WebBrowser1.Object FRM.WEBBROWSER1.OBJECT IS THE CODE THAT'S NOT WORKING.
frm.Show()

I am trying to get my Visual Basic Web Browser to open links and buttons when clicked in a new window of my web browser by using the New Window event. I found this code to make links work in a new window of my browser, but buttons will not. When I click on a button, a new window of my form pop ups but the url says, "about:blank". Is it because the attribute is set to "href"?
Private Sub WebBrowser1_NewWindow2(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.NewWindow
Dim myElement As HtmlElement = WebBrowser1.Document.ActiveElement
Dim target As String = myElement.GetAttribute("href")
Dim newInstance As New Form1
newInstance.Show()
newInstance.WebBrowser1.Navigate(target)
e.Cancel = True

For an application I am building, I need to have the user specify button labels and be able to click on them to play a sound they specify. I would like them to be able to specify the number of buttons, the label for the buttons, and the sound file to be played. I would then like the user to be able to save those settings. How do I go about doing this? Also, how do I get the file they've opened's name to show up in the title bar of the app?

I have a piece of software with two tabs, inside each tab there are buttons (the user can add the buttons when they want). when tab1 is full tab2 should start to fill. I currently know how many buttons fit on the screen so I just say something like if buttons > 150 then start to populate tab 2 The problem i have now though is if the resolution is changed then a different amount of buttons can be displayed. so if I put my screen to 1280x720 some buttons are left of. I was thinking of detecting the resolution and then using different cases for different resolutions but this seems very inefficient im wondering if there is a different way?

Im creating a program that has a dynamic amount of tab pages, however i can only figure out how to create the buttons and textboxes for 1 tab.
TabPage1.Controls.Add(tb)
TabPage1.Controls.Add(b1)
How do i turn that control code into dynamic code that will add the same interface to every single button and textbox?

Here is what I am doing. I create two buttons in a header row of a gridview that i created. The buttons are +page and -page. When -page is hit I remove the paging and all the data goes down the page and -page disappears and +page is there.
Here comes my issue When I hit +page I must be double postbacking because one row of my data disappears. I will provide the code below. What can i do to fix this??
[Code]...
So as you can see, when one or the other is hit I set a textbox to some value then i do a partial postback to my Gridview which is in that Updatepanel.

is it possible to dynamically create radio button options that are dependent on a value within a database? For example 'b' is stored in a field so then 'a' will also be a radio button option, 'd' is stored in a database field so then the other radio button options will be 'a', 'b', 'c'....the radio button list will change depending on the value stored in the database field.
