How To Find Name Of Active Control On Form
Mar 12, 2009
I'm an old Access developer and know VBA quite well, but now I'm working at learning VB.net. I'm trying to find the equivilent of the following Access VBA code using VB.net:
Function EvalField()
Dim x As Integer, ctl As Control
Set ctl = Screen.ActiveControl
x = Val(Mid(ctl.Name, 5))
Screen.ActiveForm.Controls("Formula" & x) = ctl
ctl = Eval(ctl)
UpdateTotal
End Function
This code sets a control variable to the currently active control, then copies the text from that control into it's matching "Formula" field for reference by the user), then turns the string of math into the answer. For example, if the user enters 5 + 4, that will be copied to the Formula textbox, then it will be evaluated and the answer will replace the 5 + 4. And lastly, the UpdateTotal sub will execute which will add this answer to the existing Total field.

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 need a function that returns a control within a form based on a string name. I've tried Jim's method here, but then found out that it will not work with SplitContainers. Therefore, I feel like I need to use a recursive function, or maybe a stack. I've tried many different examples online, but I can't seem to get any to work.
This is the code for the latest try, as taken from here:
Public Function FindControlRecursively(ByVal ParentControl As Control, ByVal ControlTobeSearched As String) As Control
Dim FoundControl As New Control
For Each CurrentControl As Control In ParentControl.Controls
[Code] .....
Note that the above code only seems to return a blank control.

I'm trying to be able to get the caption of the currently active window. I've figured out that I should be using GetForegroundWindow, but when I use it I'm just getting a long string of numbers, which I think is the handle. How do I go from that to the actual caption?

It has to be a simple line of code but I do not know how to construct it. Using VB 2010 Express, I have a MDI parent form and many child forms. I want the parent form to determine what child form is active and load data into the RichTextBox1 on the child form. Each Child form has a RichTextBox1. The parent form gets its data by loading a file.
I am close to a solution but just can't get there. You will see in the code below, if I make a direct reference to a specific child form, it works great. What I want to do is to use the Active Form function to determine which form to write to. I have looked at the MS tutorial which gets me close.

I have a tab control with two tabs. Both tabs have controls which are unique to them, but there is one control which I would like to always appear on whichever tab is currently active. I figure I just need to add some code to TabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged(). I tried
MyControl.Parent = TabControl1.TabPages(
TabControl1.TabPages.IndexOf(TabControl1.SelectedTab))
MyControl.Parent.Update() ' is this necessary?

I have developed an active x control and signed it with certificate. I know that digital signing is needed , so that the browser knows that the active x comes valid source.My asp.net form has a button , which invokes a method on activex control as -[code]....
But it errors on browser stating that the - IE has blocked this site from using an active x control in an unsafe manner. ( Please see attachment).So should I have to develop the active x control which implement IObjectSafety and also signed digitally, so that it can execute on client browser without any warnings from IE. Any examples.

I'm using VB.NET within Visual Studio 2008.I have a ActiveX control on my form that contains a method that takes an Array. In VB6 I just passed in the array and it was populated OK. When I do the same in VB.NET, I get a result but the value of each index appears to be a pointer.Here is the C++ method code...
void CMyCtrl::GetRowInfo(const VARIANT FAR& vArray, short sNumRows)
{
// Declaretemp array to put the row list into
short asRowList[24];
[code]....
Here is the VB code (same VB6 and VB.NET...
Dim maintRowList(0 To 23) As Integer
AxMyCtrl.GetRowInfo(maintRowList, 24)
In VB6, the value of maintRowList(0) is in the range 0 to Windows screen height(its a pixel value)In VB.NET the value of maintRowList(0) is a value that looks like a pointer to me (e.g 285671429).In VB.NET, the type of the 1st parameter is Object. In VB6 it is a Variant. I've tried AxMyCtrl.GetRowInfo(maintRowList(0), 24) and got the same result. I think I need to get a pointer to either the array or the first element of the array but I can't see a way to do that. how I can pass an array to this type of C++ ActiveX method?BTW - I cannot change the ActiveX code so the solution must be within VB.NET.
