I want to create a function (class?) that will have stored the coordinates(values) of my mdiforms, so I can call it whenever I want to dispaly the mdiforms. I want to avoid retyping again and again (in every mdi form) the above Me.Top=5 Me.Left=150 on forms load.
I've created a dialog which I'd like to popup from any function or sub in any class or form that I have in a project. It would nice to have it work exactly like a messagebox except it's got a progressbar and a cancel button on it. It's job is to display the progress of other functions so it should just stay open until I close it or the user selects cancel.Now I've found many of the basic examples on the net and have got the dialog working exactly as they have shown it. The trouble is that the examples are using a counter or thread.sleep which simply adds +1 in the DoWork sub. In other words, it validates that a worker thread can update a progressbar but it's a closed loop that only exists in the dialog's class.The examples don't show how to call an unkown function in another class dynamically, they're simply a hard coded 1+1 in DoWork. To me it's not a real world example because it doesn't show how to plug into the dialog or get a communication stream from other classes and functions that are running and wanting to increment the progressbar.[code]
i am using an unbound datagridview so i can dynamiclly add rows. all that is working fine. but the grid is not is the location i have coded.. i am using the defualt form as a base then coding the unbound stuff in.. should i just create a blank class file and do everything? the only problem i am having is the grid must bees in the correct location according to the pixel point that i have given it. Right now it is placing the grid at point (0,0) no matter what point is entered on the line for location. so what am i missing??????
I get this: Base class 'System.Windows.Forms.Panel' specified for class 'MenuButton' cannot be different from the base class 'System.Windows.Forms.UserControl' of one of its other partial types.
I am writing a windows mobile application based on GPS technology. everything is ready but I need the function which is used to retrieve GPS location coordinates (latitude and longitude).I declared latitude and longitude, but now I need the function of GPS to put it inside a button I created, get longitude and latitude values and save them.
Consider the Statement: Dim pstr As String FileOpen(2, pfilepath, OpenMode.Input) pstr = LineInput(2) pstr = pstr.Substring(13, pstr.Length) Label1.Text = pstr FileClose(2) And it is Giving me the following error: Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length.
I have a project in vb.net (2008) .net 3.5 in which I have a mainform (Not a MdiParent) and I created another form I want to use as a tip form. I'm trying to set the tip forms location to the lower right of the mainform no matter what the size of the mainform's height and width.
I tried this : TipForm.Location = New Point(Me.Width - TipForm.Width, Me.Height - Me.RibbonControl.Height - Me.statusbar.Height * 1.5 - TipForm.Height)
We have several VB.NET websites running internal applications. These sites are often modified with minor changes, and are maintained on the server as uncompiled code. I'm looking for the best way to maintain classes so that we can reference them from multiple websites.
Specifically, we're looking to put some common functions (error logging, common database calls, etc.) into a centralized location where they can be maintained separately from the sites and called as needed. And we'd prefer to have this on the server as uncompiled code, so it can be uploaded without precompiling. I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but what is the best way to set this up?
I am developing a windows app in VS2008 to be used along side ESRI�s ArcMap. Most ArcMap users will have dual monitors and I would like the user to be able to choose which monitor my app is loaded on to.
When I deploy the app using the standard install package, the app will load onto which ever monitor the user places the desktop shortcut. However, when using the ClickOnce method of deployment, the placement of the shortcut does not matter and the app always loads on the primary display monitor.
Is there a way to control where an app is loaded by code or any other method?
The button has code which works and deletes a record in a database:
======================================= Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
[code]....
I can put similar code into the toolbar button just changing the Button5_Click to the name of the toolbar button but I thought it would be better if I 'called' the already written code.
I changed the Private Sub Button5_Click etc. to Public Sub Button5_Click then in the Toolbar button click event I put 'call Sub Button5_Click()'
I get errors stating that ' argument not specified for parameter 'e' ' and can't progress.
I will be using this code in a few other forms so would like to 'call' possible.
I've got a "Loading" form which I display as a modal form when doing lengthy processes. I'm using the below to keep the form centred within the child form performing the process. However, when minimisingmaximising the "Loading" form appears before the parent making it look a little unprofessional. Anything I can do about that (Delay it appearing or attaching it in a different way)?
Does anyone know how can I create a function to save the forms position / location and load the previus forms position / location when next time the app is started.
I have a Midi form with controls I always want to be displayed even when child forms are open. I can position the location of the child forms when the project is first opened with no issues. The problem I have is if more than 3 child forms are open and I enter the middle form one of the others is no longer visible. Me.LayoutMdi(MdiLayout.Cascade) will reorder all the forms but it starts at location(0,0). Have tried the other options available with midilayout and they all do the same thing
I am trying to copy a byte array into a Class that is in a third party library
Dim usr As New RSI_USER_RECORD Dim ba(RSI_USER_RECORD.RSI_LEN_USER_REC - 1) As Byte 'populate ba here usr = ba 'how can I do this? Is this even possible?
Here is the definition of the class (from Reflector)
Does anyone know how to copy a control (button, panel etc...) and place the control with the same click event on another part of a form while keeping the original in the same location? I have a custom user control that I created that has special features on click. If I have the control on the left side and want to drag it over to the right side I want the control duplicated, as this control can be duplicated unlimited times, and still have the same click event.
I'm developing an application which relies on several files to be copied over to a specific location on the users hard drive ("C: est") when they run the program for the first time, and am having a hard time wrapping my head around how to account for the fact that the original location may be in a different location for each user.
Any ideas for either getting the path where the files would be and then copying them to the desired destination?
i am making an RPG game with visual basic...The character is a picture box.The problem is when i move the charactor with the arrow keys it flashes black for a milisecond. I think added animated walking where it slowely moves 32 pixels but not it goes black the whole time... what can i do sto stop it going black everytime it moves?
Old movement If e.KeyCode = Keys.Right Then player.Image = My.Resources.mainplayerright moveto = New Point(playerx + 32, playery)
[code]....
That code moves the player slowely but causes a big black line to merge then just ends up teleporting the player..How can i get rid of the black flash during movement?
I need to read a file location from textbox2 and replace it with file from textbox 1 at button click but I'm a beginner when it comes to system command calls
I have developed an application where i am drawing line using the mouse like a pen (it can be of any shape) i want to save the location of the object and redraw it later using the drawn location saved on any xml or text file. Instead of saving the edited image i want to save the location only to save the space in the sql server.
I am making a program to organize grainbins in seperate yards.In this program, the grainbins need to be moved around and thier position to be saved when the program is closed. I also need to save information such as backcolour and text.I am specifically referring to GroupBoxes, OvalShapes, Textboxes, Labels, and ComboBoxes.
I am experimenting with a transition from my application built in VB6 to vb.net. I know, about time. At the same time, i am making changes and improving upon the original. One area that I am working on is within my employee class. very standard class, nothing fancy. One change I want to make though is allow for an employee to be assigned more than one work location. Employee has (is assigned) Stores. In reading about collections, it appears they are different in .net (as they should be), but I don't know what the sytax changes will be to implement my changes.
my form displays locations and owners for a same product, the forms have a data grid view that actually takes in the details of the location and owner of that particular product. a product can have multiple owners and locations once its manufactured over time, the forms actually display this all i need is some kind of business logic that can actually manage the historical events of the location and the owner that when a user actually goes in and adds a new entry, the end date of the previous owner gets reduced to one less than the start date of the new owner. this in formation is stored in business layers called the owner collection and the location collection, i am not able to actually inherit or call the location or the owner collection class in the classes.
