I use a textbox AutoCompleteCustomSource to save recent entries within a textbox and obviously, then autocomplete them when the user enters a matching value. When the application is closed then re-opened these values are lost.
I believe I can save the values using My.Settings but I haven't been able to get it to work.
I created a setting 'AutoCompleteList' of type System.Windows.Forms.AutoCompleteStringCollection in the Project properties > Settings area.[code]...
I'm having trouble setting my own autocomplete list. Looking at MSDN website it says to use an "AutoCompleteStringCollection" which is from " System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection" but my error says this is wrong??[URL]..TextBox AutoCompleteCustomSource Property
Gets or sets a custom System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection to use when the AutoCompleteSource property is set to CustomSource.vb.net

I'd like to learn how I can add a bunch of strings into the AutoCompleteCustomSource property of a TextBox. Actually that doesn't seem to be possible.. What I actually want to do is to make the textbox suggest and append 7000 strings. I can do suggest and append stuff already but AutoCompleteCustomSource can contain a limited number of strings, so I have to find another way to add my strings.
View 4 RepliesI've got a textbox using a custom auto complete source, which gathers info from what the user has previously typed. Problem is, I can't figure out how to have that source saved when the application closes and loaded when the application opens.
View 6 RepliesBeen working on an application which works perfectly fine. However, I now tried to add autocompletion to my search textbox as the code below illustrates. Everything works fine until I start typing in the search box, then I get a "vshost32.exe has stopped working" message and my application crashes.

View 2 RepliesI'm making a control and I am trying to finalize my design time properties grid. I have several List(of Class) items as public properties and when I click on the design time menu (while testing the control) there is the word "Collection" and a button with an ellipsis (...) that brings up a neat pop up with the buttons Add/remove and all of the public properties of the collection's class on the right hand side. Basically for a non-collection instance of a class (with public properties) I'd like a similar button to show up. I know I could put all of the properties in the main control class and group them, but I like the pop up box feature. Anyway to duplicate this? (think font grid item etc.)
View 3 RepliesIn the form design I set up a TableLayoutPanel, 20x20 cells and in cell (1,1) a PictureBox (called Target) containing the image of a small target. The properties box for Target shows some very promising properties, Column and Row - and if you overwrite the values in the properties box, the PictureBox obligingly shifts to the corresponding cell position in th design. However in VB it is not possible to refer to Me.Target.Row or .Column - neither appears during coding in the menu of properties, and deliberately coding either of them produces an error like
Error 1 'row' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox'.
1. Why does the properties box show properties that cannot be altered programmatically?
2. How can my program move Target around in the TableLayoutPanel?
Is there a way to expose a UserControl's properties to the Properties Window in the Designer?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a Hazardous Materials label printing program. One of the options is to do an "NFPA" label. Since there are 4 values required with 4 or 6 options, the ratings are entered via radio buttons in a group box. That's working okay. I display values in the NFPA diamond as they're entered: left quadrant blue, top quadrant red, left yellow, bottom red. I'm having trouble with the label in which the rating will be displayed on top of a jpg diamond for the white. In this quadrant the text can be up to 4 characters. I can accept the text going into an adjacent block a little, but the corners of the label overlap into another quadrant/color. I reduced the font size which solved the overlap problem but the font is then too small and looks terrible. I tried to make the background of the label transparent to let the color come through correctly but that's not a valid value for label.background. I'm figuring that the transparent background is the best solution. What can I use that will accept a transparent background so the color shows through?
I'm trying to set the transparent property via label properties properties, not via code. Here's the code if it makes any difference:
Public Class NFPA
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Close()
End Sub

View 1 RepliesI am looking for information on the best practices or project layout for software that uses SQL embedded inside VB.NET . The software will connect to a Access DB. The software was written in VB.Net .Update: To clarify. We are currently using OleDbConnection,OleDbDataAdapter, OleDbDataReader to connect to the database. What I mean by embed is that the SQL stored procedures are scripted inside our VB code and then run on the db. All of our tables, stored procs, views, etc are all manipulated in the VB code. The layout of our code is quite messy. I am looking for a better architecture or pattern that we can use to organize our code.

I am writing a program that the users can put their signatures on it and I am thinking that maybe I could use MSPaint then save it as an image file and save it on my database. The device I'm going to use is a touchpad. I don't know how to explain this clearly but the idea is simple.User Log IN > Verify User Account > Put their Signature on a picture box. By the way I am using Visual Basic .NET 2005.

I have a program that calls an executable, lzma.exe, to compress a file. lzma.exe also requires about 5 dll's. Is there any way I can embed lzma.exe and the 5 dll's into my program, so that they are not retrievable by someone?The reason is, if someone finds the lzma.exe, they could easily reverse-engineer my program and offer it free, putting me out of business.
