Me.Width is what i am having issues with. I can adjust the width to work on my system but the bar is a different amount of pixels on different versions of windows. I was wondering if there was a function that would give u the amount of pixels the side bar is. I was considering writing some code so look for a color change but people can change the color so i do not think it would work very well. Also the program allows you to draw in a picture box so that would make it hard to get it to work correctly.
Anyone know why in Windows vista if i have a comboBox in in my program it looks differant in vista. AKA when i drop the combo box in windows xp it has a scroll bar to the side, but if i drop it in vista it just drops the entire length (how many rows i have put in the box) This could get very anoying if i had lots of items.
Long time since I was active on this forum, but I recently picked up VB.NET again. I'm working with VS 2010 Express now, and I want to create a little app that resides on the side of my screen (about 40px wide), to collect data.
I've seen this program, Trillian, 'docking' to the right side of my screen, thereby making the maximized size of all windows just as much as the space left of the application window. In other words, even if I maximize other programs, the Trillian application stays visible at all times, on the right side of my screen.
Now I was wondering, is there any similar effect possible with VB.NET?
I'm trying to make a simple appbar on the right side of the screen. I have accomplished this many times before.. but I can't seem to get it working in Windows 7. The placement seems right, and as far as I can tell the messages seem to be in the right order. I have tried both Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle .None as well as Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedToolWindow. What am I doing wrong?
I know this defeats the purpose of client side vs. server side (refer to title of this thread). What I would love to do is build my own custom progress indicator on the client showing how far a server side code has progressed. I figure if I could only get a JavaScript to fire and render a value of some control at pre-defined intervals while the server is working I could make it happen - but alas I'm beginning to believe that this is impossible. Below is some code that performs three 2 sec loops. At the end of each I want to change the visible value of a control on the browser. [Code]
I have a basic asp.net web page. I have a menu bar divided into 3 columns. Each column displays an xml file. However instead of showing them side by side it displays them one on top of each other. i think it might be to do with my css?
My asp.net web code: <div class="menubar"> <div class="menuleft">
I need to send back the id, the old value from _1 and the new value from _0 back to the server. What is the best way to format this data so I can easily extract the data from the server side so I can easily email someone for example to let them know which textboxes have changed, what the old values were, and what the new values are
At the serverside level, I am using .NET-3.5 (VB). I know how to send the data bacl. and how to email the data, I just wanted to know how to best format the data at clientside before sending it back. I could have upto 50 sets of id, old, and new values to send back. Sorry for not making that clear earlier.
Example:
How can I modify the script above to generate this?
I'm working on a 2d game. making a button that can move in a path random up,down, side -side, etc. in a selected space. and once hits end of the form to slide out and reappear at other side of the selected space and do same thing over.
I currently have a parent Listview and its child Listview displaying in the centre column of an HTML page that consists of three columns left, centre and right. And all looks very good. However I would like to display the child list view in the right column beside the parent list view.
To do this it seems I must somehow generate from the code behind page a new row in the table every time the parent Listview displays a record of its data and then some column HTML so the first child list view will appear in the right hand column.
I'm trying to, from a client-side piece, call off to a server-side piece. I need to do this synchronously. On my server-side code, though, I'm calling off to another piece of code, which I want to have a maximum of, say, 10 seconds to return a value. If I don't have a response within 10 seconds, I want to force my own server piece to set my result equal to 0, and return to the client.
Here's what I have on my server-side code so far:
Public Function GetWebResult(ByVal inputParameter As Object) As WebReturnObject Implements IWebInterface.GetWebResult Dim result As New WebReturnObject Dim webItem As WebItem = Nothing
[CODE]...
I realize this code is not functional. The problem is that I'm unsure how I would go about getting back into GetWebResult to set the appropriate return values before it is sent back to the client.
I am struckup with a problem from last two days. I am creating a web application using VB.NET, Ajax & RAD Controls. When user clicks on a button I want to open a RAD Window and show the list of ledgers available to the user, so that he can select one from the list. And to open that window I have to call a java script function from client side, which is already achieved using the below code.
Imports System.Data.SqlClient Public Class ListViewData Public Sub FillListView(ByRef MyListView As ListView, _

I want all the listview columns to be in auto width. I tried adding the next line of code but then only my first column fills my entering listview width. All other columns are not affected!
This Winforms app has a toolStripComboBox within a MenuStrip container that displays Culture Info languages.The toolStripComboBox's width is not expanding to accommodate the size of the string. The strings are dynamically added to the combobox from underlying code. How do I get the comboboxe's width to expand? Below is an image of the'too narrow' combobox and below that the Properties for the combobox.
I have an application which have multiple tab pages. On of these pages I have a group box with many controls that do something.Now the problem is I want to add exactly the same group box by the current one that can have different paparemeters.This is exactly the way that i want to add comparison capability between to set of parameters.I have more than 500 lines of code that responde to changes of these parameters and does something.Is there any way to replicate the the whole gropbox and use the same code for both and and being able to difrentiate between gropboxes.I think there was an array control in vb 6 but I am not sure if this the best way to do this in vb.net.What is the best way to do this for the least amount of changing the code and wasting time.
In VB.NET for the combo box, I have set the autocomplete mode to "SuggestAppend" and autocomplete source to "ListItems". Its working as expected. But the width of the autosuggest dropdown box is not same as that of combo box and so it looks weird.I tried changing the value dropdown width property but it changes the value of normal dropdown box (seen after clicking down arrow on combobox), and not the autosuggest dropdown box.So what code or property needs to be set to make autosuggest dropdown box the same width as that of combobox width?
I have a drawing program written in VB6 that is capable of printing very thin lines to a laser printer. In VB .net, even though the pen width is set to 1, the thinnest lines are way too "thick". The equivalent line width in VB .net using a pen width of 1 is about the same as the DrawWidth = 4 in VB6. So, my question is, how can I print very thin lines to a laser printer in VB .net?
how to adjust the width of the listview and also the datagridview to the width of the form.Because I want it to be able to follow the form's width and when maximized the form, the listview or the datagridview will also be maximized to the form's width.
I have form 1 and form 2 form 1 is already loaded. When i load form 2 i want it to apprear right next to form 1 on the right hand side. What code should i use to accomplish this.
Basicly I have a program that retrieves data and parses it, which is fine, so it starts from:11:981.8 which equals to November 981.8 now what I have done is split the "November" and the "981.8" into 2 different arrays, with other similar data, now what I need to be able to do, is sort the array in either Ascending or Descending order, however keeping in tact, the November and 981.8 side by side in a list box.
My current code is:
Private Sub sortData(ByVal strYear As String, ByVal strSort As String) lbDispData.Items.Clear() Dim strData As String = My.Settings.usage2011 Dim arrRawData() As String
[Code]...
EDIT: Just to mention, there are many more values, not just November and 981.8, there would be for example December and 128.1, January and 191.1, etc.
I am starting a butterfly program and having an issue and really just barely have it started and would like to get some helpfeedback on how to do this. The following is the instructions and I will make a second post on what code I have so far...The butterfly is going to be moving from side to side in a slightly upward assent when the animation starts. You need to build a set of controls that allow the user to control whether the butterfly ascends (up) or descends (down) and also allows the direction of the butterfly to change (left or right). The best way to implement this feature is through the use of keystrokes that when pressed act to control the direction of the butterfly. Whether you implement this feature through keystrokes or controls, make sure that the feature is communicated to the user.
Butterflies fly by opening and closing their wings. So it is expected that the butterfly will alternate between opened and closed as it wings its way across the form. If the butterfly is moving right, make certain the butterfly graphic displayed shows the butterfly as moving toward the right. If the butterfly is moving to the left, make certain the butterfly graphic displayed shows the butterfly as moving toward the left.
If the butterfly reaches the top of the form in its assent, it should wrap around to the bottom of the form. If the butterfly reaches the bottom of the form in its descent, it should wrap around to the top of the form. If the butterfly reaches the left edge of the form, it should begin flying toward the right side of the form. If the butterfly reaches the right edge of the form, it should begin flying toward the left side of the form. If the user changes the direction of the butterfly, insure that the correct graphics are used in relation to the direction of the butterfly and that the butterfly moves in the indicated direction. Please note that when the butterfly reaches the edge of the form, the butterfly must change direction regardless of any user input.
Ultimately, what I want to accomplish is an AJAX-based messaging system. I already have a database table for messages, and an ASPX to add new messages (and declare old messages no longer relevant).
The current messaging system simply polls the server every 15 seconds, and re-pulls the current message set.
What I am looking to do is: On $(document).ready(), register an ajax callback function that listens for a server-side event (e.g., MessagesUpdated) On table insert/update, fire MessagesUpdated server-side.
This way, whenever the table is updated (or new records added), any clients listening know that new data is available and can re-poll the server then.
Ideally, I'd also like to make the new data available as an event argument (to minimize re-polling the db).
I can find references to something like this in other languages, but I cannot find any actual code examples to get me started.
Assuming this is possible to do via .Net, can anyone help get me started on this?
I'm using the 2.0 Framework. Also while I added a VB.Net tag, I can read C# reasonably well, so please feel free to post in either language.
I have a project creating a calculator. I have the "add" function working but have no idea how to do subtract. My professor said once we know add we can do the rest.
I have a form with 3 txtboxes. The user has to enter their date of birth in the 3 boxes in the form
-DD in the first box -MM in the second and -YYYY in the third
I then need to get todays date and take their date of birth from todays date so that I can output to 3 labels the length of time they have been alive in years,months and days.I assume I will need to use timespan? in some way but I am not sure how , or is there perhaps a better way?
