I have a book for VB 2005 and I am running VB 2008 and in VB 2005 they have a layout tab where you can turn off Absolute positioning and in VB 2008 there is no layout tab. So my question is how do you turn off absolute positioning in VB 2008?
I installed VS2008 and just VS2010, both allow me to freely move objects around in the HTML Design View.However, I would like to be able to snap the objects in alignment.It is hard to space text boxes and buttons when everything is free flowing.
Is it possible to pause the music then if I resume the music it will just continue the flow? I mean if I pause the background music in 33 seconds and the music has 50 seconds and I resume it will just continue playing in 33,34,35 etc.. seconds?
I was wondering if their was a way to for me to turn off events and then turn them back on in my program or just queue them up until i am ready for them to be excuted. Kinda like how a OS turns on and off interupts. Is this one of those general programming no-nos?
How do you get the absolute value of a number in vb.net?
Is there a function built in? I know I can simply code a function myself, but I want to know if there is one already there first. It seems so simple, I could probably make it in three lines, so I would be surprised if there isnt one....
I'm trying to determine in vb if a URL is absolute or relative. I'm sure there has to be some library that can do this but I'm not sure which. Basically I need to be able to analyze a string such as 'relative/path' and
I am trying to convert a web application from using hard-coded deployment locations (ie, /base/path/index.aspx) to discovering them at runtime. If I use Response.Redirect(), I can express the path as '~/index.aspx' and, at runtime, ASP.NET will build the correct URL to send the redirect to based on where the web application is deployed.
There are places in the code where Javascript and/or HTML is generated dynamically and sent to the client as part of the response to force a new window. In these cases, I don't know how to get the actual URL that should be opened in the new window. Using ~ doesn't work in this case since the URL is being evaluated by the browser and not the server. Is there a class or method in ASP.NET that will give me the URL I am looking for? I'd look myself, but I don't even know how to properly phrase my question.
I created a survey in vb.net where results are stored in an Excel file. Locally I can access and update the data of the file, but if I put online can not correctly access the excel file. How can I determine the absolute url of the file so, when a user submits the answers they can be inserted correctly in the excel file?Currently I use this to determine the location of the file: Dim LocalizacaoFicheiro As String = String.Concat(Server.MapPath("."), "RespostasQuestionario.xlsx")

I have a form where I need to place some labels dinamically. Some of the label's height needs to change depending on the string size that will populate the label's text. So what I need to do is position the labels one below the other, after the text has been populated and the height has been set.

I get this error on one of our workstations when trying to use program's report. The strange thing is that this workstation was working properly some days ago but suddenly faced with this problem! [code...]
How can I find the absolute coordinates in pixels of a certain cell?I am developing an Office 2010 addon (the Ribbon UI) and I add a new button to a new menu in the Ribbon and when the button is pressed, I want to get the screen position of that cell. The problem is that [code]only give the position relative to the A1 corner of the spreadsheet, while I want the position relative to 0,0 of the screen.I found this: How to get screen X and Y of an Excel 2003 cell in C# but it's for Office 2003,
How to retrieve the absolute coordinates of an HTML or CSS element from the webbrowser control using Visual Basic? I am using VB 2008 Express Edition. I would like to be able to display the control in my application and then using the HTML Document Object Model (I guess?!) get the X and Y coordinates (top, left, bottom, right) of a DIV or other HTML tag.
In earlier editions of visual basic I could move the form across the page by changing left in the properties window. VB 9.0 doesnt have that in the window properties window. I can set start position to manual but it wont drag and drop how do I move a form window in the design mode? added by TNT 1/24/09 I went back and checked VB5 the left and top positions were settable but only located the form during run time.
how to make buttons and other objects move to the center of the form and possibly grow in size when form is maximized and also move back to its position when minimized.
I am currently trying to read out my absolute cursor position on the screen. I read some threads in the "Legacy Visual Basic (VB 4/5/6)" Forums but this is as far as I get:
When I'm coding in Visual Studio 2010, say that I have some interface: Namespace Some.Huge.Terrible.Namespace.Adhering.To.Company.Standards Public Interface MyInterface ... Property SomeThing as String ... End Interface End Namespace
And a class: Public Class CoolThings Implements MyInterface
When I hit Enter after MyInterface, Visual Studio will put Property SomeThing as String Implements Some.Huge.Terrible.Namespace.Adhering.To.Company.Standards.MyInterface.SomeThing
I would like it to, instead, simply put: Property SomeThing as String Implements MyInterface.SomeThing
It does the same thing for all methods, etc. that I have to implement and it's mildly annoying to either have to look at a stupidly long reference, or clean it all up since I'm importing the namespace at the top of my class anyway. Is there a setting in Visual Studio that I can use to switch that?
I have a system that has a collection of picture boxes.Each picture box allows you to place pointers(Custom control derived from label) on the image, when saved I store the X/Y for the pointers along with other information relevant to the pointers in a database.(See attached image)This way the chart can be reloaded and the pointers be moved or edited.This all works great until I resize a chart, the calculated percentage of size in/decrease often results in a float like in the following example. [code] I position the pointers by top and left, which only accepts integer, the rounding results in significant drift over multiple resizes.
I have a routine that iterates thru a collection and I want to print each iteration into a TextBox without having the second iteration overprint the first and so on. How do I position the text cursor between each iteration thru the 'For Each' that I am using?
I'm trying to position a small form that will have its top left edge exactly lined up with the bottom left edge of a label. But I am finding this to be impossible to accomplish because of some magical hidden offset that exists somewhere ... I don't know where.
So here's what I got, if I can manage to pilfer out only the relative portions... For the sake of simplicity, I'll focus only on the horizontal positioning below:
Dim FrameSize As Size Dim TargetHorzFramePos as Single FrameSize = SystemInformation.FrameBorderSize
