i made an application using VB.NET 2010. i have 5 forms. i want to know how to make one common navigation (like in a webpage) for this application. Is it possible to have the menu and header static and loads each form in one dynamic container. I hope my questing is clear :P just to make it more cleared, it is more like having a templates in php coding where we can load other page in a particular area without having to reload the entire page with each links.
I've already asked this question on several forums, but without any good explanation of why the code above cannot be converted from C# to Visual Basic. The code is actually from this forum, written in C#. (the source)
Public Sub SomeMethod() Try doSomething() Catch ex as Exception
[code]...
And I would like to write handleException(ex). Suppose my class has different options of handling events:
Public Enum ExceptionHandlingType DisplayInMessageBox 'Display in msgbox ThrowToCaller 'Raise the error to the caller routine
[code]...
Below is my attempt at writing "handleException". It seems no matter what I do, if the object was set with Exception mode of "ThrowToCaller" then the stack trace gets all messed up when I use handleException(). How can I just have a clean stack trace generated when the option is "ThrowToCaller" (every other option seems like it is working fine)
Public Sub handleException(ex as Exception) Select Case mExceptionHandling Case ExceptionHandlingType.DisplayInMessageBox MsgBox(ex.Message)
I'm making a program that takes common applications and installs them silently using batch files. Someone would select the programs they would want to install and my program will write a giant batch file and execute it to install whatever they want. Heres the problem, After the user selects the programs they go into either one or two lists. Non Silent Installer List Or Silent installer list.
Some programs I have simply won't go silently so from there they can choose in what order they want to install these programs. Then there is a combo box that tells weather you want to install non silent programs first or last. From there you hit add to batch file and it would add everything in listbox1 and listbox2 in order. Listbox1 would contain just the text "MalwareBytes" for example. Along with Novell Groupwise and Firefox. How do I get that to add to the Batch List as a code and in order? So the user wants Malware bytes added first to the batch file. How do I add that to my batch list as a completely different code?
I'm binding a DataGridView to a BindingSource to a LINQ IEnumerable, I found that the BindingSource.Find method throws an exception because .Find isn't implemented in IEnumerable (and the BindingSource just passes the call to it's DataSource). I need to use BindingSource.Find to select/highlight a particular row in the DataGridView.
Is there a feasable way to extend my DataContext to support this behavior w/o breaking anything else? I expected to find the code out there already, but I've searched exaustively with no luck.Without it, I cannot "move" the BindingSource using .Position and that's a pretty common use of the BindingSource I think.
I have two problems with my windows form in Visual Basic .NET 2008. If you have worked with sticky notes you will understand me better.Now my problems:
If you look you'll see the background color of number 1 and 2 are diffrent but both belongs to the same control. How is this possible? In right bottom corner, there is something by which a user can resize the form.
just wondering if it is possible to add a method to all forms in my project without having to do it on one form and Inherit all my other forms from that one
I want to build a form with fields bound to a datasoruce that the user can scroll through (using the up and down arrows).This would be a detail screen, but I don't really want a visible data gird or list on the screen with it, but as I'm still designing this may be something I would want to try also. The screen would be read-only data with a search textbox that would be used to query the list of data. The user will enter a search term and then browse through the detail screen to locate the exact record they want. I'm somewhat restricted on design because I'm trying to replicate a legacy program and don't want to deviate too far from the original design.For my datasource I've got a List (of MyClass), I just need to figure out the binding and navigation.
how to implement a classic layout design in vb.net (2.0).The application design is the classical toolbar panel at the top and different panels stacked at the bottom. Depending on the button pressed at the top in the toolbar panel a different panel at the bottom will be available.This is thought to have different part of the software available on different panel but with the toolbar panel always available at the top.To implement this I thought:
1) one tablelayout with 2 rows. First row contain a panel with the button (toolbar panel) and adding/removing hte correct panel requested on the bottom row.
I am currently working on a project for school in which I am trying to implement a multi user login on one of my forms. I have an internal database connected in which one of my tables contains the user-names and passwords. I have a For/each loop to search the table for a matching username/password before allowing access to next form. The problem is even if the username/password is correct, my message box still appears to notify of invalid credentials, but still allows access to other form. The problem only occurs when I implement two For/each loops. With one, code works fine. Can any one see what might be wrong?
I'm trying to implement cut, copy and paste functionality in my application. My menu is on the main form of my MDI application and I would like to cut copy or paste from any textbox from any mdichild.
I have a progressbar that works with the backgroundworker. How can I let the backgroundworker work with methods that do a foreach loop in other classes?
I have MDI form in different project and child forms in different project which is dll project. How can I call save method of my child form from MDI form when I click on save from toolbar button of mdi parent form. I can't access child forms save method at run time?
Consider a MyForm class that contains a shadowed implementation of Show(). It also contains a CreateForm() method, which accepts an instance of the form and calls the shadowed sub:
In design mode, I have 2 forms, Main and Profile. Both have many controls on them.When executed, the Profile form is duplicated 4 times and named Profile1 through 4. Among the controls on these forms are 3 buttons that copy the selections from the other 3 forms to the one that had the button pressed.How do I accomplish this? I don't understand how to let the method know which form is getting it's buttons pushed so it knows what form to copy...
I have a listbox control that has a selection mode "MultiSimple" (I've also tried MultiExtended). I also have a button that uses this code to select all the items in the list:
Dim i As Integer For i = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1 ListBox1.SetSelected(i, True) Next i
It works ok but the problem is that it's very slow. I have cases where there are 60 000 items in the listbox, and it takes forever to select them all. Is there any function that would select all at once (Just like ListBox1.ClearSelected() unselects all instantly)?
I'm using vs2008 with vb.net, and I have googled all around for a multi column combobox and I know there is not an easy way to do it in .net. However, this is my situation:I have a table in my database that only has around 4 or 5 entries, with the columns FirstName, LastName, Type. I need all of these columns for each of the 4 or 5 entries to be displayed in the combobox. I've been trying to think of simple ways to do it such as counting all the rows, selecting each cell in a loop and programmatically assigning them to the comboboxes, but I realized that the ID column for these entries have numbers that do not go chronologically. (I thought that if I counted the rows, the row number would correspond to the ID number and I could go about looping and assigning variables/concatenating them into the combobox, but this is not the case).
So I am just looking to see if anyone else has any ideas on what I can do to solve this? It's a pretty simple problem but I'm kinda out of any simple ideas.
I'm trying to detect when the tab key was pressed and intercept it in certain cases. Since the form I'm working with has many fields, I've tried overriding ProcessTabKey so that I don't have a separate sub for each control. However, I've found that after adding a simple ProcessTabKey method, each time I press tab it skips one of the combo boxes. In order to duplicate the situation, using Visual Basic Express 2008, create a new Windows Forms project and add 5 combo boxes to the form - allowing each to automatically get an incrementing TabIndex.
Then add the following code the form: Public Class Form1 Protected Overrides Function ProcessTabKey(ByVal forward As Boolean) As Boolean MyBase.ProcessTabKey(forward) End Function End Class
Now when you run the project, you'll see that each time you press tab it skips one of the combos.
I have a class that inherits the Textbox class. My main goal is to prevent specific keys from being entered into the textfield. Now, I have a solution however I have one issue with it.
I have a simple login field, which works fine with the exception of one quirk. The form is set up with the tab order to go to the UserID first and the Password text box second. This works fine when the form is used the first time, but when the form is used the second time the focus in placed in the Password field. If the form is used a third time, focus is moved the OK button, that is each time moves to the next tab order. I even tried to set the focus in the Load event as in Me.txtUserID.Focus(), but this doesn't change the behavior. Again, I should note that I close the form and not hide the form.
