View 3 RepliesI completed my VB project a while back and it worked great in XP.Now the same program is needed on computers that have Win7 installed.The program installs without any problems, but when I open it, it gives me an error saying the database is not accessible.
I used Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Compact to design the project.The database was included in the project and in the installation file. I also checked the Programs folder and the database was installed correctly into the correct path.What is the problem with my programs compatibility with Windows 7?
Having worked out how to make a Windows Media Player in VB 2008, I have a new problem of exporting the file and debugging to play the music. I can add midi/mp3 files to the resources section so it works when I press f5 in VB itself, but opening from the debug folder (to save for other computers) loses all the music.
View 6 RepliesI am making a "fake Operating System" or "Virtual Machine" or what ever you want to call it. It has all of its own programs. I want Windows XP to stop running so that it will go faster and so on.Okay so I will obviously need coding on the Form1_Load and Form1_FormClosing Subs.Here is my attempt at coding it (Note that this is just the attempt at coding this particular part. It is not necessary to give you everything cause it would be to much and it might confuse people) :
Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to create an application in VB.net that can come to the front once a certain condition occurs (in this case, a file being created). I've tried the following code, but it just results in the taskbar button blinking on Windows 7:
Me.Activate()
I understand the reason for this, and I completely understand why people don't want any random application to steal focus (I hate it too). This is an extremely limited use application (only 3 computers will actually be using it), and the users in this case would want the application to popup in front (there will be an option to turn it off too).
Any ideas if this is still possible to do on Windows 7?

View 3 RepliesI have a windows form that contains a panel (Hosting panel for X number of panels). The hosting panel AutoScroll property is set to true.I need to create X number of a panels each will have (Lable and three Radio buttons) at run time. The panel controls must be aligned.So I created a loop in my form load event to add the X number of the panels on the form. I used the location X and Y to position the controls on the form. The loop work fine until it reach the point where the controls host panel needs to enable Auto Scrolling which cause the added panels to be shifted to right. The shifting happened once the host panel auto scroll becomes enabled.

View 1 RepliesHow can i best make a movable widget within a windows form application? I wanted a area inside the form where the widgets can be placed / moved, i was thinking something like Windows desktop gadgets, where you can move them around and add/remove them. i was thinking of using a group box to contain each individual widget (notepad, time, calc ect) and a flow layout panel to contain and move all of the widgets.
Also i was hoping there would be a way to actually have icons to press which place the widgets into the flow layout panel.
