I am developing an application in Vb.net 2008.In it I wish to add a conformation message box when ever someone attempts to close the application window.So I want to detect that some one has clicked on close button which is present on title-bar of my window.
View 3 RepliesI have already done the creation of button and the dragging of button at runtime already.But now i need to know how do i save the last dragged button on the form and also detect the name of the last clicked button.so lets say i now drag a button to coordinates 25,254. so when i exit the form and the next time i launch it, the button will still be at 25,254. and this one will go on for the number of button i created like 100. so when i launch the form the 100 button will be at the exact position where i last saved them.the second part is lets say i created button1 and button2 on the form in runtime. so when i clicked the first button, it should display button1. and if i clicked on button 2, it should say button2. same goes for like 100buttons.

I have been asked to remove or disable the close button from our VB .NET 2005 MDI application. There are no native properties on a form that allow you to grey out the close button so the user cannot close it, and I do not remember seeing anything in the form class that will allow me to do this.
Is there perhaps an API call or some magical property to set or function to call in .NET 2005 or later to do this?

I need to maintain the minimize/maximize functionality
I need to maintain the original title bar because the form's drawing methods are already very complex.
How do you fix this code so it works?

View 7 RepliesI have written a calculator program, and when the mouse clicks on the equals button, the button sets a boolean varaible to true, and then that variable can be used later.But I am wondering if the button control has it's own property that can indicate if it has been pressed?
View 1 RepliesI'm making an equation program and I want to have a main menu where the user can select an equation and then when one of the buttons is clicked, it closes the "selection" form and opens the appropriate form. For now I just have it set to show the proper form (for example, Form3.Show) but when I try to do something like Me.Close() after it, everything closes instead of keeping Form3 open.
View 2 RepliesI have a backup script i made in VB. part of the code im having trouble with:
HTML
code:
Now this code is executed when a button is clicked, if the folder does exists, it displays a message and continues the backup. however if it does not it displays displays "does not exist box" then i want the application to close.
I played around with the application.exit commands but it seems like the code just skips over it, and continues to try and backup the data, then errors out. how do i make the application close, if the dir does not exist?
Is there any way to skip a the validating event of the active control when the close button of the form is clicked. It is very annoying when user wants to close the form, but due to the validate event of the active control, it asks for the valid input. The user is forced to give valid input to close the form. I have searched a lot for this on net but no any proper solution could be found.

I'm currently in the process of building a text editor type program, and have run into a brick wall. I haven't done VB in years, so I may just need a little reminder on some things. I have coded everything so far as far as opening files, saving them, changing fonts, colors, etc. However, I'm looking to add a Close button to my menu strip that will just close the currently opened file, and not the entire program, while also ask the user if he/she would like to save before closing the file, and then if they select yes, it will show the save dialog, and if not, it will go ahead and close the currently opened item.

Form 1:

i need to know exactly when a checkbox is checked either by clicking or by spacebar.
I have looked at cellbeginedit, cellclick, cellcontentclick,cellendedit,cellformatting,cellleave,cellpainting,cellvalidating,cellvalidated,cellvaluechanged, and cellvalueneeded.
None of these inform me of when the checkbox value is changed. cellclick is almost the one, but it fires before the value is changed. cellvaluechanged doesnt fire until you leave the cell. the cell value changes and the cell is painted even if you dont leave the cell.
I have spent all day trying to get it right. I want to detect exactly when the checkbox value is changed so i can do some calculations and depending on the calculations, i may cancel the check mark.
I want to make one Private Sub for all of my Linklabels. The only variable should be the text value of each individual Linklabel, since all the labels inherit different texts during my program.Lets say I have about 200 Linklabels of which 40 have specific texts. The other 160 have "Linklabel" as a text.How can I create a variable that refers to the text of the label in the code?
Would it be something like this?:
Private Sub ActionForAllLinkLabels(ByVal something As something, ByVal somethingelse As somethingelse) Handles LinkLabel1.LinkClicked, LinkLabel2.LinkClicked,

I can do the context menu. When I'm NOT using a context menu, I can detect a right-click using the mouse click event.BUT how do I detect which cell that's beiing right-clicked on in a datagrid WHEN a context menu is being used (as the mouse-click doesn't seem to fire when a context menu is used - so I assume that the menu mechanism consumes the right-click message and doesn't pass it on so to speak).I have tried to manually call the context menu on a right-click, but then the context menu comes up at the wrong location.Rather than send a long listing of my multinedia program so far - here's something I tried as a separate proglet. I can send the long multimedia project listing if you like (so you can see why this it is important to resolve this little issue).
