I have Form1 with the following 5 buttons in it.
-Button23
-Button3
-Button46
-Button21
-Button6
IS THERE ANY TOOL (OR AN ADD ON)IN VB THAT CAN RENAME THESE BUTTONS FROM BUTTON1 ...TO BUTTON 5? I do not want to change them one by one manually...

View 2 RepliesFirst i need to copy a line of text which i can already get selected this ain't in the windows.form but it's in another program (in my situation it is Inernet Explorer, but also going to need it with others.) so i guess i'll have to make my program press Cntrl+C at the same moment? then it's going to be copyed right? so it'll be on it's "clipboard" then after that i need to get Label3.text = the clipboards text.
i don't have any codes yet, ain't asking you to do my homework but if anyone knows an solution, or can get me some hint. i tried searching all over the web but can't manage to get the buttons pressed at the same moment.
I inherited some code left behind by a previous programmer and it includes code in a Sub named Form1_Load. Now, I know this was auto-generated at one point, but Form1 no longer exists. At least I don't think so. My question is, why does this Sub even run? Is it because there are copies of the original Form1 in the working directory no longer associated to the solution? I'm going to save the solution and rename the Sub to resemble the new form name to see what happens.

View 8 RepliesI am desinging a form with mutiple controls on a tab page control and was moving controls between tab pages by cutting and pasting them. The forms designer obviously got confused at some stage and I now have controls that are declared in the designer.vb but do not appear anywhere on the form.
I can't even rename the controls that are there which have been given generic names to the names I want because they apparently already exist. I realise I could edit the designer.vb and remove the references to these controls but that seems fraught with danger?
I have a VB.NET project in Visual Studio 2008 that I created a specialized addin for. The addin prompts the user to select a database table, takes a template form class's files, copies them to another directory within the project, and renames the form class within the copied files. It then opens the new form and adds controls to it based on the fields in the database table.
The copying of the template form causes the background compiler to give 'duplicate member' errors, such as "Private Sub InitializeComponents(...) has multiple definitions with identical signatures," even though I renamed the files of the new form and the class name within them. Sometimes these errors go away before the new form is opened, but when they stick around the new form doesn't open correctly, and it throws an error instead. I implemented some code to wait until there are zero errors in the error list before trying to open the new form. This has helped sometimes, but for some reason sometimes the errors don't go away at all until the addin is closed.
How to copy the template form and rename the copy without the background compiler ever noticing duplicate members. If that's not possible, then perhaps someone has an alternative?
Here is my code that copies and renames the template form:
Private Sub CreateDataForm(ByVal tableName As String, ByVal displayName As String) ', ByVal subDataForms As IList(Of Object))
Try
Dim dataFormClassName As String = "frm" & MakeValidName(displayName)
Dim dataFormFileName As String = dataFormClassName & cVBSuffix

View 4 RepliesI'm currently working on binding an objects properties to fields on a Form. Whilst I have managed to get it so that I can get standard objects to bind, I am having a problem figuring out how I would go about binding an inherited object.
For example, if I had a Client class (the parent class) and then two sub-classes called CompanyClient and IndividualClient. The CompanyClient would have an extra field company name for example.The problem I'm having is that I'm not certain how to set up the binding, as if I set up the binding against the Client class then I would be missing the Company Name property for the CompanyClient, if I set up against the CompanyClient, then it wouldn't work with the IndividualClient as it doesn't have all the fields.
I know I could get around this by having different forms for each of the different Client types, but as almost all of the properties are the same I would like to avoid this if I can.I was wondering whether anyone knows how I might be able to go about doing this

View 2 RepliesI have a windows forms application built in VS2005 and migrated to VS2008 that I "inherited" that occasionally will not show some of the objects (i.e. a button or something) when a user runs it. This is sporadic and does not seem to have any notable pattern.Are there any specific types of things I should be looking for that might cause such behavior? I tried looking at available memory and hard disk space issues and that did not seem to have any bearing on the problem.

In my software course, each time we submit an assignment, we have to include a document with the starting properties of each object in a form.
E.g.

Size: 100, 20
TabIndex: 0
It's a real pain to scroll through the properties viewer and copy and paste each customised value for 30+ objects on a form... I was wondering if there'd be an easy piece of code or way about getting an (at least partially) automated printout/view of all the properties of the objects.
Was thinking some sort of private sub I could past into the bottom of the program and run on load, that gets all objects, and outputs the non-default properties to a report or something?
I have a VB class inside which one of the methods accepts an array of forms. For each form inside the array, I need it to traverse all of the objects, check if they are a specific tyoe (input, label, checkbox, etc.) and get the properties of each object. Then, I want to dump these into a text file in the following format:

View 11 RepliesI want to run my app maxmized; i know how to do that(changing the properties or coding); but i want to put the objects in there scaled with the form;
How can i do that?
For example: i have a form with the size(300,300) with a button in the bottom left corner ;i put the window state property MAXIMIZED and the window comes maximized for sure, but the button doesn't stay in the bottom left corner, ir stays int the normal position.
I'm trying to set up a system to resize multiple objects on a form (40+) when the form resizes. I've got it working but it's rather slow, when I resize the form it stutters a lot from looping through the objects to resize them. Is there a better way to do this that would not cause the stuttering effect?
View 10 RepliesI designed a form which contains about 50 objects all kinds including tableadapters,buttions,grids, tabs. What is the best way to optimize the loading with less time consuming. I cannot split objects in on different form as all the objects has to appear on screen as a requirement.
But my primary question here is, i designed this form with all these objects on a 15" monitor which fitted 100% on the screen. Now i am using 17" monitor when i open this form on run time, all the objects are appearing as designed but theres a 30% form area which is left blank. How can i make the form objects resize automatically on run time itself to fit on different size of monitor with no area left blank.
Background: My VB .Net application is a back-end solution that works with a proprietary Linux-based middle-ware messaging architecture developed by our company. My application references to the middle-ware DLLs, obtains connectivity, and subscribes to specific broadcasts with the middle-ware. When the broadcasts are received, it handles processes them and inserts/updates certain tables in a database. To do so, it has specific notification classes to handle each type of broadcast. These classes adhere to the inheritance model imposed by the middle-ware DLLs.
