IDE :: VisualStudio Property Toolbox Not Remembering Last Selected Property Item
Sep 1, 2011
I have a weird question and I honestly hope you understand what is happening here: I design my form (using VB.NET) and put on it a few textboxes, comboboxes and a listview. After the design, I want to adjust the TabIndexes for each control on the form. On the right-hand side of the interface is the property box.
I then select the 'TabIndex' property item and enter a number key (for instance 0) for that selected item. I then select the next textbox control and enter the next number (for instance 1) WITHOUT re-selecting the 'TabIndex' property item. As soon as I select the combobox or listview control, the currently selected property item jumps to 'Items' or 'Collections' and does NOT remain on the 'TabIndex' property item. Why is this happening? Everything worked fine and all of a sudden this starts happening. Should I reset the editor settings or how can I resolve this matter?
Well, the question says it all. I have tried the _.SelectedItems(0) method, but it is not working at all. It only works for the first item, but for all others it says that "0" is not a permissible index value, or something like that.NOTE: All of my items are constant, as in they will not change. None will be added, and none will be removed.
I have a listbox with several list items added. I want that as user click on an item, I should be able to show its property. This should change for different items. For example (hypothetical) : Listbox has numbers 1 - 10. Now when I select 1 I should be able to set property - Name, Lastname, Colour, Age.
When I select 2 I should be able to set - Age, Hair Colour (clr shows), Weight, Date. When I select 3 then - City (combo box drop down), Country, Age only. This way value changes for diff items. One way is to put them in property grid and show them. Though this looks nice but adding/removing items in that is not easy. You need to have a class that refer that to prop grid. Do I have to code for each classes for all values in listbox or is there an easier way to manage items in property grid. If you think prop grid is not the right tool for such an activity then can you suggest something else.
I want the DisplayMember property to be the property name to display for whatever kind of custom collection (persons, cars, etc) I have bound to the AutoCompleteBox.
I don't think I can modify the datatemplate programmatically. Is there a way I can do this with binding (relative source)?
I have created a dropdownlist which I choose wizard way to fill data in it. and its property like: DataTextField=Item DataValueField=ItemCode
I go to properties of this dropdownlist and then I add Items property as the following: Enabled=true Selected=false Text=---choose--- Value=-1
And the code behind is that: dim strItem as string= ddlItem.selectedItems.text if ddlItem.selectedItems.text.trim="---choose---" then Label1. text=" You haven't choosen any items yet!" exit sub else Label1. text=" You have choose" end if
But when I start debugging this: strItem always gets "---choose---" text eventhough I choosed other items.
I need to develop a function called SetComboBox that accepts the category(ies) in the ComboBox as a string and returns an integer indicating the index position of the category in the ComboBox. The function is supposed to set the category in the ComboBox Selected Index property to match the string category stored in a database for an inventory item.
I have a Vb project to which an excel file is added as an item. I would like to access the property (Full path property) of this project item through my form class. The code I have tried to use is as follows:
Dim project As EnvDTE.Project Dim projItems As EnvDTE.ProjectItems Dim projItem As EnvDTE.ProjectItem
Using a plugin architecture, i created a Form Class that holds the Mdi Form. it has menustrip, toolstrip and statusstrip.
child forms are created as class and are loaded into the Mdi Form at runtime.
using interface, i was able to execute subs and functions of a child in the Mdi Form and vice versa.
now i need to change property values.. to be exact, i need to change the enabled property of the toolstrip buttons depending on which child form is activated using the form_activated event of the child form.
the problem i now have is how to change the property of the toolstrip item in the Mdi Form.. should i be using interface on this as well by creating subs in the interface and have the Mdi Form implement this interface?
how can i solve this error in my code i have access database and i need to connect to it and that was done but when i was trying to add new record it gives me the below error Error 1 Property 'Item' is 'ReadOnly'.
I did a VB6 to VB.NET conversion and this line wasn't converted. I'm not sure what property to set that would replace Bevel. What could I use? statusBarMain.Items.Item("PercentBar").Bevel = System.Windows.Forms.Border3DStyle.SunkenOuter
Is there a way for implementers of an interface where a ReadOnly property is defined to make it a complete Read/Write Property ?
Imagine I define an interface to provide a ReadOnly Property (i.e., just a getter for a given value) :
Interface SomeInterface 'the interface only say that implementers must provide a value for reading ReadOnly Property PublicProperty As String End Interface
This means implementers must commit to providing a value. But I would like a given implementer to also allow setting that value. In my head, this would mean providing the Property's setter as part of the implementation, doing something like this :
Public Property PublicProperty As String Implements SomeInterface.PublicProperty Get Return _myProperty
I searched on the forum / Internet for the solution how a PropetryInfo object (of a Public property) can reveal if it has a Private Protected Setter ... it was all in vain .... all help I found was about how to "Set" value of a public property having a Private Setter.I would like to know if I have a PropertyInfo object of a public property, how would I know if its Setter is Non Public?
I tried, in a exception handling block, where I did a GetValue of the PropertyInfo object and then called SetValue by setting the same value back... but to my surprise it worked well and didn error out.
I'm having a few problems converting some code into VB.NET from C#. Most of the translating is done, but I am getting errors when I try to run my code, and I can't figure out what is causing them. Here is the Sub I translated.
Public Sub CreateWidget() Dim blue As LCDColor blue.Red = 0 blue.Green = 0
[code]....
The error I receive on this line ("vision.Widgets.CreateWidget(wg1)") reads "In order to evaluate an indexed property, the property must be qualified and the arguments must be explicitly supplied by the user."
start with I was given a program by a friend that was created in Excel 2003 with the help of Visual Basic Editor. He said he used Visual Basic 2003, which he is not 100% sure about. Anyways he used CurLine in the program and when I try to open it in Excel 2007 and then open the Visual Basic Editor and run the program I get the following error:Run-time error '-2147418113 (8000ffff)':Could not get the CurLine property. Unexpected call to method or property access.
I have a very simple class that holds a few public properties - ID, Text, Colour, etc. and a Boolean called 'SelectedItem'. Just like the Checked property on RadioButtons, only one item can have its SelectedItem property set to True within a particular group. Note: there will be several separate groups (lists), each allowed to have only one item with SelectedItem = True.
My first thought was that I would probably just have to handle everything outside of the class, setting SelectedItem to False for every other item in a particular list when another item was selected. But that seems rather inelegant to me. So I've been trying to think of how this might be done within the class. For example: could I perhaps have a private string property called say "GroupName" - set in the New sub when adding a new instance of the class - and then use a private shared method to set every item's SelectedItem property to False, provided the item has the same GroupName as the newly selected item? I would have a go at doing this but I have no idea how to enumerate every instance of a class from within that class, or whether that's even possible. Is it? Or is there another (better) way to achieve my goal? Here is a cut-down version of what I've got so far:
Public Class ResourceItem Public ID As Integer Public Text As String[code]....
As can be seen: instead of instantiating a new ResourceItem and passing that as an argument to the manager's Add procedure, I'm simply passing the details of the new item and the procedure is creating the item from those. I don't know whether this is a good or bad idea - please advise - but I've done it because I couldn't figure out how to make the SelectedItem property only writeable by the manager, so I wanted to avoid having directly accessible objects that could have their SelectedItem property set to True without it deselecting all the other items in the same group. Of course that still leaves the possibility of setting a variable to one of the manager's list items and setting it from there, so I would still like to know how I could prevent that, if possible.
UPDATE: I didn't use the code above in the end, deciding instead to go with Cyborgx37's solution - which seems to work perfectly well for me despite the warnings about best practice. I also realised I would need to use the same class in another scenario where multiple items could be selected, so it was easy to add a Boolean property to the manager to enable that.
I have a listbox binded to a list of objects. For each list item I wanted to have a rectangle whose fill color is determined by a few properties of the binded object. So I did the following:
Made sure INotifyPropertyChanged was implemented on my object.Created a class to expose the properties I am interested in as attached properties.Binded the properties of the object to the attached properties of the rectangle Created a style that uses triggers to set the rectangle fill based on attached properties.
This works, but only the first time the property of the object changes. After that, the attached properties do not seem to be receiving notification when the data object's property changes. I have double checked and my data object is raising the INotifyPropertyChanged event.
I have an Entity Data Model with two entities in it "Roles" and "Users". There is a navigation property from I have a EntityDataSource and a GridView. The EntityDataSource points to the Users entity and has an Include="Roles" parameter.I've added a BoundField in the GridView that points to RoleName, a property of the entity Roles. However, when I execute the code I get the above error.I have used very similar code successfully in another application. Any ideas why this isn't working?
Why can't you set the selected integer for the items in the combobox in the properties window instead of adding code in the form load event? I don't like to have to do things that way, I feel like it is less efficient. Should I just deal with their being no value property for combo boxes or is there a way to do it easier?
I receive a System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException in the following code: Specifically Incorrect syntax near ' In order to evaluate an indexed property, the property must be qualified and the arguments must be explicitly supplied by the user. The exception detail in its entirety is shown below the code.
In a list(of structure), i constantly have to modifiy the property of items using this code
Private Sub ChangeState(ByVal ww As WebWorker, _ ByVal NewState As WorkerState) Dim oWBB As WebWorker = ListWebWorkers.Find(Function(item As WebWorker) item.Browser.Name.ToLower = [code].....
But this give problem when two or more of the items call this sub procedure. in that one item may already have been removed. This code is executed in the ui thread, and has to be.so is there a better way to modify the items in list structure?
Does anyone know of a control such as a Checked List Box where each item can have a value against it.For example you have a list of fruits and in the listbox it displays Apple, Orange & Banana but the values for those items are A, O & B.
I am using the following code to load an ArrayList with an object. [code]I don't know how to retrieve the object from the ArrayList using the Item property. I am using the following withOUT Success. The code is searching the arraylist for a match on serial number. Values(2) is correct and is working fine - the problem is purely getting the object information from the arraylist.[code]How do I pull the propertys back from the object in the arraylist to compare the values with Values(2)?
I am using a Hashtable which stores unique names and objects associated with those names. Now those objects have a property called "IsDynamic" and some of them have it set to false whie some of them have it set to true. So when I retrieve any object using the key property, it goes to find me that object. How do I override that find method?
on a Windows Form, an object myObject is bound to myObjectDataBindingSource like this:myObjectDataBindingSource .DatSource = myObject on the form, i have a check box bound to the property: chkProp1 for example of the object: myObjectDataBindingSource In the code when the checkbox is clicked, I need to go in code and change another text property of the object txtProper2 for example like this:
Private Sub chkProp1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles chkProp1.CheckedChanged
I have the following property in a property grid in VB.Net 2010.
<Description("Rapid Entry Post Car Wash Settings CarWashOptionPushButtons"), _ Category("Post Car Wash")> _ Public Property CarWashOptionPushButtons() As String
[code]....
I need to make this property a list box that gets the values from a database table and populates the list box with the values from the table. I have tried numerous things to no avail.
