View 1 RepliesI have a form with a webbrowser control on it, and I load up a local file in it with some code for a rotating banner (so I can support my app with advertising).The problem I'm having is, it is for example, a banner ad in the small banner sized control, when the user click's it, it loads the new page within the same control, which is way too small.I'd like for any click in the control to load up the link in IE itself, outside of my app. Putting target=_blank so far hasn't helped. Below is the code that I am loading up in my control.

I am trying to find the handle of the child window for the Yes button in the User Account Control window so i can click it. This window has a structure with a few child windows with the same name.
Dim hwnd As IntPtr = FindWindow(Nothing, "User Account Control")
Dim hwnd2 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd, 0, "DirectUIHWND", vbNullString)
Dim hwnd3 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd2, 0, "CtrlNotifySink", vbNullString)
Dim hwnd4 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd3, 0, "Button", "&Yes")
There are multiple CtrNotifySink with its own Button child window or other child windows. How do i search thru the different CtrNotifySink window to find the one that contain the Yes button so i can send a click to it? I do need to find it before i can send a click, right? because i try just sending it to the main window with sendmessage and nothing happen.I even try sending it directly to the handle found by spy++ of the yes button with bm click but nothing happen?
I found the source of the issue i did not explain it very well. Basically i have a form with a compare validator that makes sure my txtstartdate is not less than my txtenddate. So these 2 text boxes have ajax calendar attached to it and when I select those 2 my compare validator appears and gives an error.

I have 3 different validation groups on my web page, but when I click submit I want all of the groups to validate? It seems to me like the causesValidation="true" of the button will not validate the validators that are in their own validation group. So right now I am calling a javascript function that manually validates the groups.
[Code]...
Now this works fine and dandy... But it seemed to me like before I had all the groups on the page the validators where much faster than how it has to validate them now. Is there something special i have to do to my button to get all of the groups to fire when it is clicked without the help of this javascript function?

I have a form to register new users for my site and their are required field validators on the page.
I want to include a cancel button that redirects the form to the main page but unless the required field validatiors are satisfied it will not run the code when the cancel button is hit.
How can I have the code for the cancel button run even if the form is not fully filled out?
When using the WebBrowser control, is it possible to cause popup windows to appear within the WebBrowser control itself instead of a new window?

if you guys have used office 2003 or better( i am sure all) then you would have seen that when the help window open it causes the active windows say of MS WORD to change accordingly so that this help windows fits with it along the right side and this functionality i want to implement in my VB windows application and have no idea how to do it Also i have seen this feature in GOOGLE DESKTOP GADGETS...
i want to implement that when my application opens which ever is the active window( of any application) snaps to the left and allows my application to fir in the right hand side i am developing my application in VS 2005 using Visual Basic.
I am trying to build a NOTEPAD/WORDPAD like application with vb.net on visual studio 2008.
I need an option to define and choose (MsWord, or CSS like) paragraphs styles, such as: "heading1", "green quotes", etc.
I am not able to find the Exclude Command in VB 2010 Express. I have no idea which version of Visual Studio it is working with. I've got one 217MB VB 2010 Express file and many 2008 VB Express files with one of them measuring 31 MB. There many other SQL files and .Net Files.
View 4 RepliesI have a custom validator in which the script validating the control is client-side javascript. In my VB code behind for the website I call Page.Validate("groupName") but my validation script is not fired at all. I placed a break point in my javascript, but it's not even touching my validation script. While when i use the same function on non-custom validators it works.
I am thinking that it is impossibly to call my client-side validation script in my VB behind code via Page.Validate("groupName"). Do I absolutely need a server-side validation function?
Here's a bit of code:

I am opening a PDF file in Acrobat then am sending the Menu keys using sendkeys.AcroHandle gets the value but the send keys always working with my .Net IDE. It is opening the .Net IDE file open menu. It supposed to open Acrobat File open.
AcroXAVDoc.Open(FileName, "Acrobat")
AcroHandle = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Acrobat - Adobe Acrobat Professional")
If (AcroHandle <> 0) Then
SetForegroundWindow(AcroHandle)
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait("%(FO)")
End If
I would like to hava an application in which I have several buttons on the main scream. Each button will open new screens (or forms) but I'd like them to open it in the same screen as the main form not in a new one.
View 3 RepliesI've got to the stage where I want to make changes to my application so that all of my forms appear to the user as a single window.
I have a main Form with a menu bar which opens up three separate forms. Only one forms is visible at any time.
One way to do this, that I can think of, is to place all the controls from each of the "auxiliary" forms on a panel contained in the main form and then show and hide the panels, when needed. I can envisage this being a big headache though.
Another way would be to give each form a menu bar and make it look like the main form so that the user would not know the difference (with a bit of luck).
I just wonder if there are better ways to do this. Maybe if I could incorporate one form into another form?
I am just learning vb.net using vs 2008. I have a small forms app which I have conected to a small, single table 2 column database. I enter some numbers into a text box, press a button and the data gets entered into the dbase. However the only data that gets displayed in the data table I have on my form is the existing data.No new data entered is shown until I close down and restart the app. I have tried many times using statements such as [code]...

View 4 RepliesI have a border-less window made by this function:
Private Sub MiniWin()
Me.Visible = False
Me.Text = ""
[Code]....
and when is in this state I can't move it... so how can I move the form when is in this condition?
Second Q: how can I forbid the window form not to be re-size-ble and stay within the given dimensions?
I'm having a difficult time getting cursor's position within the window I tried using : Cursor.Position.X and Cursor.Position.Y but it returns the position of the cursor on the screen and not in the window...
View 10 RepliesIs it possible to create an MDI application which have each MDI window in a separate processes like Chrome does?
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if there's a method to set the form as the active window (not topmost obviously), if it's currently not the active window (meaning another window is currently the active one). By active I mean "selected".
View 1 RepliesI have an MDI window with multiple child forms. The user can hide or display child windows by checking/unchecking in a View menu on the main form, calling on either the Show or Hide methods for that form. Each time I call the show method do I also have to specify myForm.MdiParent = Me, or do I only have to specify that once, ie does vb remember that the form will always be a child? it doesnt appear to be a form property any more (from vb6).Second question relates to forms themselves. If I have created a form at design time, is it more efficient to create an instance of that form using New, or simply show the form as it is by just loading it.What are the pros or cons, memory and speed wise? In my case I will never need more than one copy of that form to appear, I'm using VB2005.

View 5 RepliesI amin process of developing a student database. Here i have many forms that are navigated through. The problem is what shall i do to have all the windows that are displayed are of same size???
View 1 RepliesI might be going about this the wrong way, but I'm trying to create a form that will include a single button, for instance "Enter". When "Enter" is clicked, I want the form to then display the contents of form 2, which might include more buttons and/or a textbox, etc. I want to do all this without ever opening or closing a form.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a label control transparent over a Panel control.However by setting the background colour of the label to Transparent, it actually sees right through to the form itself, not the panel as intended.
As an example we use a panel with a background as white, we make the label transparent, however it gets the form�s colour as blue.However, we are using a custom panel control and need the label to be transparent over the panel and not see the forms background.
I have a floor map of a buiding. It has cubicles. The application must display the floor area information of a cubicle when the user clicks on the cubicle?
I was thinking about use picture bixes for each cubicle but it seems complicated.
How to i create clickable areas on the form and load images to those areas?
I am trying to work on an application that disables the close button (X) on the upper right hand corner of a window. In order to do that I need to use calls to API methods like GetSystemMenu, EnableMenuItem and RemoveMenu. I can figure out how these methods work but there are certain parameters that these methods have whose values that need to be passed to them as argument is unknown to me. How can I know them.
E.G.- for EnableMenuItem, the parameters are- hMenu (handle to the menu), uIDEnableItem (The menu item to be enabled, disabled, or grayed), uEnable (This parameter must be a combination of at least two of the following: MF_BYCOMMAND or MF_BYPOSITION MF_ENABLED, MF_DISABLED, or MF_GRAYED)Now when I call this method from my application I supply the current window handle as the first argument, the item no. to be disabled/enabled as the second argument but I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT TO SEND AS THE THIRD ARGUMENT. What exactly are the possible values for those parameters- MF_BYCOMMAND or MF_DISABLED. I checked certain examples where they are supplying hexadecimal values like &HF060, &H1, 0x400, 0x1000, 0x2 etc. or integer values like 1024, 2 etc. But how would I know what exactly these values are and when to use which value.The same problem arises in case of calling RemoveMenu method.

View 2 RepliesI have an issue in a project trying to auto-scroll down a ListView (used as Details with columns) when adding a new ListViewItem when the window is minimized. I guess we have to use TopItem property to set force the listview to scroll down.I get two exceptions when the form is minimized: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." "Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list."
