View 2 Repliesactually i'm trying to write a small program for my project's presentation. i created a form with buttons, each time i click on a button, i want a text loaded from MS word document to be displayed inside the form.
i thought about dislaying the text inside a label or textbox, but the problem is that the text doesn't preserve its state, i mean colors and fonts which are defined in the MS word document, it just displays everything in black color, small size..etc, even if i change the properties of the label in color or font, thoses changes will be applied to the whole text.
is there any control who can display the text loaded from a MS word coument with its colors and fonts which are already defined in the word document, or there any solution to do this ?
I have a form with text boxes ,masked text boxes e.t.c there is a binding (data) source MytablebindingSource). when i open the form the on form_load event i use the following code

I have multiple forms within a form, typically up to 16, and I want these "inside" forms to snap all edges between eachother or the parent form edges, when a form is resized or moved, and edge comes within x pixels of any other edge.How should I approach this? What I can think of is to raise an event on the form that is moved/resized which calls a parent form handler method that loops through all the forms, check the edges and then keeps fixing (repositioning) the active form if any of its edges is close to any other form edge

View 2 Replies why the title has "(con't)" is because of this Form Resize With Control Sizing... almost named it with another thread on here. And I wanted to post, but it was already a 'Zombie Thread'.Thanks to _HAWK_'s post #11, instead of declaring every control I use. Would declaring it an array (fast guess - Label<Array(how many - 1; aka - X)>) work? ... that was probably Java... My point has probably been made, or can I just do Label.Scale(variable)?I had already set my declaration of the form I need to do this on "Resize". I am not quite at this stage yet, but I see this saving a lot of time asking early.
The +1 extra question is:How can I be able to split of a form in 3 unequal sections? The initial form is 800*600-left side has 2 sections, each 400*300 right side is 400*600.I am already using 3 'GroupBox' and it looks ugly because I have each one colored differently.I looked into Splitter and SplitContainter and TableLayoutContainer.
What i want to do is not allow the entering of the same thing in the same field that has already be used. eg. field(entry) 1 is already in the database. So when trying to enter 1 and field(entry) anymore it will give error msg and make change before saving.

the basic functions
vb.net
Private WithEvents MyProcess As Process
Private Delegate Sub AppendOutputTextDelegate(ByVal text As String)
Private Sub MyProcess_ErrorDataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Diagnostics.DataReceivedEventArgs) Handles MyProcess.ErrorDataReceived
AppendOutputText(vbCrLf & "Error: " & e.Data)
End Sub
Private Sub MyProcess_OutputDataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Diagnostics.DataReceivedEventArgs) Handles MyProcess.OutputDataReceived
AppendOutputText(vbCrLf & e.Data)
End Sub
Private Sub AppendOutputText(ByVal text As String)
If outputtextbox.InvokeRequired Then
Dim myDelegate As New AppendOutputTextDelegate(AddressOf AppendOutputText)
Me.Invoke(myDelegate, text)
Else
outputtextbox.AppendText(text)
End If
End Sub
the startup that works.

i sometimes replace the textboxx2.text with a custom command like "exit".so when i press the button after entering exit for example nothing happens.but when the app starts it does gets the first 2 commands. so why is it failing at the buttons.

View 7 RepliesTo start things up, I have a DLL called clsEmployeeModule, containing forms frmEmpInfo and frmAddEmpName. frmEmpInfo contains a textbox that when clicked displays the frmAddEmpName. Now the latter contains three textboxes (firstname, middlename and lastname) and a Save button. Once the user clicks Save, the values from the three textboxes will be concatenated and displayed as a full name back in the frmEmpInfo form.Below is the code snippet calling the frmAddEmpName:
vb
Private Sub empname_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles empname.Click If genInfo_edit = True Then call_addempname.Text = "Edit Employee Name" End If call_addempname.Show() End Sub
And here's the code snippet from the frmAddEmpName:
vb
Imports clsEmployeeModule Public Class frmAddEmpName Dim callempinfo As New clsEmployeeModule.frmEmpInfo Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click mnFname = firstname.Text
[code]....
When I debugged the program, it showed that employee_fullname was successfully populated with the concatenated values -- however, that wasn't the case for the empname textbox.
i am asking about using the progress bar into the status bar to move when i load any child form inside the MDIParent form.

View 4 RepliesInside a form, I would like to display a pdf file which is already available in my resources (template file "untitled"). In this pdf file, I have some fields which get their values from some texboxes in another form. My aim is, when the user triggers the button to call this form, it should insert the values inside the pdf file and display the output pdf inside the form.I have written the code to an extend but could not finish it myself after my many trials... Now here are the two things I cannot manage:I can use a directory to read the template pdf "untitled1.pdf". But my aim is to use the file inside my resources. can save the output file in a directory but this is not I want to do. I want to display the output pdf.
View 1 Repliesnot quite sure why this is happening but I am just debugging right now and the buttons I am using are opening the wrong forms, I have made sure of the form names, button names etc and it looks all good but specifically the btnPrintReport is opening up the form enterAuditForm while btnProcessAudit is opening printAuditForm instead of their correct ones.
Here's my code, it is rather simple. The reason why I am using a separate sub as my btnPrintReport is because I am using that also on the baseForm's OnLoad Event, which again is also opening the wrong form.

View 2 RepliesI created a function that retrieves information on which checkboxes are checked. It returns an array which the information coupled to the checking of those checkboxes. Those checkboxes and the matching textboxes are dynamically created at runtime in that same function. I'm pausing the application to wait for a button to be pressed. I'm trying to find a way to use btnDone.Click event directly because the code always reloops my function once more recreating the controls.
Public Function GetArray(ByVal strDLFolder As String) As Array
If blnDone = False Then

Right now I'm setting a create a boolean switch when btnSubDone is clicked. What I would like is for something along the lines of:

Is it possible to use events like this? If not is there a cleaner way for pausing the application to wait for a button click (one that doesn't run the entire function again)?
