How To Stop Controls From Updating With Data
Nov 1, 2010
I have a form with many controls that are binded to a datasource. when some of these values change, they impact aspects of the form itself like the backgroud color or the title. There is a filter applied to it so it only displays certain records (this is important).when I change something and save the data I need to update the filter to show all the previous records plus the current one.All that works great, but the problem is: saving the data or changing the filter makes the controls take a new value based on the new record and go through the subs that each one have to modify the aspect of the form. This happens because if I save the data first, then the current record does not conform to the filter and all the data in the form changes, or if I change the filter first, we go to the first record of the set.
After that I return to the correct record and everything looks fine, but going to all the changes makes the app halt for a moment.Is there a way that I can stop the controls in the form form updating to their binding data while saving or changing the filter in the bindingsource?

I have 3 text boxes that update with each other. One the user inputs the text, two the text is used for translation and instantly deleted, and three displays the translated text. If I need to backspace the code updates the translation adding double of each letter I delete. I need a way to skip all of the application code every time the backspace key is held. My current code here (full dictionary cut to save space).
Public Class Form1
Public Sub RichTextBox3_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles RichTextBox1.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Back Then

Can I stop updating the user display of a control (rich text box) temporarily? I want it to process what I tell but not change how it looks for just a small piece of code.

I have a program written with VB.NET 2008 that includes a large number of dynamic controls in a form. When I drag the corner of my form, I want to resize every controls according to the new form size. It works very well, except that the controls are repainted one by one, instead of waiting at the end of my fonction and do a single repaint.
I did a lot of research on the NET without any good results:
- "Form1.DoubleBuffered = true" does not have any effect
- "Form1.SuspendLayout" does not have any effect
- "SendMessage(Me.Handle, WM_SETREDRAW, New IntPtr(CInt(False)), IntPtr.Zero)" suspended repaints but left the entire window messy.
I am running out of ideas. Here is a sample module to test if your trick works. Just try to resize the form, you will see how long it takes to repaint every control one by one:

I'm having trouble getting controls in non active tabs to update. I have a tab control with 12 tabs. Each tab displays a custom calendar of days for each month. For each of the days I used label controls. Now the trouble im having is when I re-size the window I want the day labels in each tab to re-size accordingly. I have the re-size function written and working but for some reason it will only re-size the active tab. In order for me to have the labels on the other tabs update to the re-size I need to open each tab as to load it then it will update the controls.I've tried putting Application.DoEvents() in my re-size loop but that didn't work. How can I get the other tabs to update / redraw the controls without having to open the tabs first?

Using MSDN documentation on creating Control Arrays in VB.net I proceeded to create a control array based on my UserControl. I modified the code programmatically to Loop through a For-Next loop to create 6 objects using the same UserControl. After creating these objects, I proceed to perform graphics on each control to draw a rectangle of which is in the center of the control by using a Timer_Tick event.

I'm trying to update the UI from a background thread without invoking the control. Mainly because I've tried to do so and it never worked from a class. It worked just fine within the form class, but froze up in the class. I didn't receive any errors, it just lost its multi-threaded-ness.
I'm having a similar problem with using the SynchronizationContext class. I made a quick example to test if this would work how I think it should:

There's very little information on MSDN about this class in general and every example on the web I've seen so far, has nothing to do with classes.

I have a module that handles adding controls and populating values on a form. One of the controls is a button (there can be many) which acts as a lookup. For some reason, when I click the Button, it winds up in the btnLookup_Click event and displays the various messages, but it does not update the label (labLookup) text on the form. Am I missing something?

I have a Master List in the DataGrid that displays all the "Monitors" - think of them as Audits (for context). Basically when a user clicks on a row in the DataGrid the TextBoxes, ComboBoxes, CheckBoxes and DatePickers all show the values and the user can edit them there and that all reflects in the DataGrid just fine.How do i go about using the same TextBoxes, ComboBoxes, CheckBoxes and DatePickers to add a new record?

I would like to know the best, or standard, way to accomplish real-time client updates in a small multi-user application using an access data table as a data source.Specifically, this application will be used by 3-4 people. It uses a datatable which is filled on form load and bound to a datagrid at design time. The datatable is stored on a shared drive. The data table on the shared drive is updated in two ways:
1) Users can update the datagrid which then updates the datatable on the shared drive via the data adapter's Update method.
2) A server application does some work on some text files, periodically updating the data table.
I need the clients to reflect the changes to the data table on the shared drive as closely to real-time as possible. I know that the data table stored in memory on the client is disconnected from the data table on the shared drive, so I must query again to get the updates.
1) Is there an alternvative model I can use which is connected, and which will automatically reflect the updates in the data table on the shared drive?
2) If not, what is the best way to check for changes in the data table (so I can know when to call the data adapter fill method)? I am planning to poll the drive for a change to the .mdb file, raise an event and then fill the data adapter when the event is triggered. I am using this method successfully now to check for changes to a text file in another application, and I know how to implement it?

So i have a Panel which on Mouse Enter and Mouse Leave i change the visibility of some controls which are docked inside it. Problem is whenever I hover over a control within the panel the Mouse Enter then moves to that indivual control and thus they are made invisible. Is there any way i can make this work without having to code these two events for each control within the panel?

I'm writing an app that pulls information from a DataSet as a one-way thing (e.g. the datasource populates a listbox, but for selection purposes only -- the user cannot change the list values). My problem is, when I select something from the listbox, all of the other listboxes change too, as if the control is telling the others "Update your contents to display what is in row 5"
[Code]...
I then use the IDE to bind lstOne and lstTwo (both listboxes) to datInfo, and use the DisplayMember to bind lstOne to colOne and lstTwo to colTwo.When I run and click on a value in one listbox, the other one follows suit. For example if I click on "One Three" in lstOne, lstTwo displays "Two Three". I expect to click on "One Three" then be able to independently set lstTwo to "Two One"
This seems counter-intuitive, so is there a way to do what I'm after from the IDE, or will I have to do it all from code?

I am working on a client/server application. Everything seems to go well for a while (a few hrs, a few mins its kind of random) then suddenly clients stop receiving data. maybe 1 or two, or all of them. in the end I end up having to restart the server piece to resolve it, but I am trying to understand why its doing this. I've added try catches around the send piece, but it doesnt error out. When the app fires, the listener is started on its own thread. When a new connection is made, that connection is passed to a class that handles all of my connection data(send/receive, responding to commands, etc). The class is started in its own thread, so each connection is running in its own memory space. This issue seems to happen with 1 client connected, or 20, it doesn't really seem to matter.
This causes other issues, like a customer who thinks he is disconnected, will shut down his app, which is supposed to send a command to close the connection on the server side which it does not., so now I have several "closed" connections still open on the server, which is obviously also bad. Another thing I dont get is that it worked fine when I was developing the pieces on my dev box, so I dont get why I have all of these "timeout" issues now. (I put that in quotes, because the timeout period is the default of 10 mins, and I xmit data, at LEAST every minute when the server pushes data updates to all clients)
Here is some of the relevant code
vb
'Command Object, this holds all of the command information being passed back and forth to tell the server what to do, and as well as hold the response.
'The strCMD is the command, strParms is the parameters of the command, obj is ANY object I want to send along with this information

Public strCMD As String

Alright, so I'm still working on the slot machine. I have three timers all independently going for my three "wheels" of the slot machine.
My issue, is that I'm trying to make a Stop button to stop each timer one at a time, and I'm not understanding why this code isn't working. The logic completely makes sense, and the first "wheel" stops when I click the button, however, it doesnt appear to stop the other two timers.

I've seen similar problems posted on this and other boards, typically with a bunch of code checking before its realised that that database itself is being copied to another directory and run from there. Apparently this is managed via the database properties, copy to output directory settings. In my case I have tried all three options, with no change in result. After "saving", inspection of the actual database via the server explorer shows no changes have actually been committed.
I am getting to a point where I need to start entering large amounts of data into the app and have at actually save to the db for deeper testing.
I noticed this behavious first when using an .accdb and it has persisted through my exploration of SQL(.mdf)
db Output Option Selected / Result
always copy... data changes do not persist between debug runs and is not entered into actual database
copy if newer... data changes do persist between debug runs but is not entered into actual database (checked via server explorer)
Do Not Copy... generates the below Error on execution
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was unhandled

I have Data coming in through a serial port and it consists of pretty much all numerical values except for a few begining response characters. Its a Load Cell which spits out Tension in Pounds. I'm making a simple terminal program with the ability to log the Incoming Data for record keeping and data plotting. I want the incoming Tension to be displayed on the screen real time.I can get it into a text box and have it scroll indefinetly as it updates the data,but I'd like to keep it localized in one Label. I can display it in the Label but it wants to scroll down as it comes in. I want to keep it refreshed in one spot if that makes any sense. Heres what I have thus far. It will put it in the Label but wants to scroll like in the textbox. For example if I send #00F0 followed by a carriage return it replys back with whatever is displayed on the Screen which usually is the tension.it says "01TK 00.074 LBS" no quotes.. for a reply.I'm assuming it needs to be stripped down to just the numeric characters first.'here is what gets sent to the Load Cell to tell it to output data fast as it can to the serial port.[code]

I have a datagridview and the datasource is a database query. This query takes data from multiple tables within the database.
When I run the project the data loads to the datagridview fine. However, the system needs to allow the user to update data shown in the datagrid and save it.
I've been messing with this for ages now and it is still not saving correctly. Here is the code behind the save button:
Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click
