I'm wanting to to make a color scheme selection feature for my program, which involves changing the foreground and background colors of many components at once. I have the components divided into groups in which all elements should have the same background and foreground.
vb
With BtnLoad And BtnSave And TbxListname And CmbProgDifficulty And TbxRptStandard And TbxQNA And BtnAddProbQ .ForeColor = Color.White .BackColor = Color.IndianRed End With
The problem is that this get's an error message saying that you cannot use "And" (or & or +) in the statement.If I just use one object at a time,
vb
With BtnLoad .ForeColor = Color.White .BackColor = Color.IndianRed End With
it works fine. I have so many objects though, I don't really want to copy and paste this with statement 50 times. is there a way to make a with statement take multiple objects?
Is there a tool in the toolbox that i can use that replaces checkboxes. i have limited amount of space and checkboxes just keep taking up room. I need the user to select multiple objects like checking multiple checkboxes.
I'm sure there is an answer to this somewhere but I'm clearly using the wrong terminology in my searches, so I apologise in advance for this inevitably being a duplicate.Take the function CType. Clearly I can cast (or at least try) a given object to a given reference type. The function will not work if trying to cast to a structure, i.e.CType(myObject, Integer)
will generate a compiler error. This I'm sure most often crops up when working with generics:
[Code]...
What is the opposite? I want only reference types so that CType doesn't fail. I can't overload the T As Structure with a plain T because it considers them identical signatures, so surely there's a keyword I'm missing somewhere?
I can remember reading some time ago that there is some way to set the opposite value of a variable depending on the value that it is set to but, I can't remember the syntax of it and I'm not sure what the correct terminology is to describe what I'm looking for. Suppose that I have a boolean variable that can be either true or fule. I need to some way set the variable to the opposite value that is set.
Off of the top of my head it was written something like this (excuse the wrong syntax below, it's what I'm trying to figure out :-) ). Dim myBool as Boolean = False myBool = True : False I know this can be done with if else statements but I'm sure I've seen a more compact way to write it.
Why can't I just override the = operator and have it assume that <> is the opposite? Like, if I ask if A <> B, I mean if not (A = B). Straightforward, I would assume.Also, I can't think of ANY circumstance where <> wouldn't be the exact opposite of =.
Well I am trying to autoscroll my ListBox or display everything the opposite way just like a shoutbox. how to do it. I have tried many ways but they either gave me errors or didn't work.
comparing C# code and VB.NET and the results between the seemingly identical code were entirely different.(Why C# is always winning over VB.NET?)The explanation given is that C# will initialize the class fields, then call the base constructor, but VB.NET does the exact opposite. Is there a technical reason for the languages to be different? At first glance, it seems that either approach is equally valid, but I can't fathom why they wouldn't have selected the SAME approach.
EDIT: As 'Jeffrey L Whitledge' has pointed out, VB6 did not have inheritance, so I don't think we can say 'to keep VB.NET and VB6 more closely related'.
I have a handle event that takes care of about 50 buttons. Is there a way to determine which button is being clicked when the event is handled? I have tried using the FromHandle, but I can't seem to get it to work.
i have a bunch of radio buttons which can have different text displayed depending on whats retrieved from the database.however i want to add code that hides any radio button that would have a 'zero' retrieved from the database.so far this is the code i was coming up with, without getting into the nitty gritty of the actual database queries
If RadioButton1.Text = Me.HWExamsDataSet.DSExamTextA.Rows.Item.tostring = 0 Then RadioButton1.Visible = False End Ifabase entries or queries.
it looks like it may work...but is there a way to automate it so that i can put in a reference to ANY radiobutton like radiobutton(*).text? or a bunch of buttons if need be.i know theres a way to specify additional items to a given command...just can't remember if its curly brakets etc.
I have a class, Vehicle. I created two child classes, Car and Plane. I want to monitor the speed, which is a Vehicle Property, and bind it to a control (label, or image, for example) in WPF. When i create a static Class which only purpose is watching the Speed Property, it works, as far as the INotifyPropertyChanged is declared with the Speed Property name.
But the problem is, I have to create dynamicly multiple Cars and Planes by looking in an XML file and deserializing my objects, and creating multiple Car or Plane UserControl (Let's not discuss this way of working, please). So I have to get the Speed property inside the Vehicle Class (which is normal), and I have to get a INotifyPropertyChanged on each Speed of each Vehicle Created. So, my Cars and Planes are loaded, and I have to get all speeds, but I can't create a static Speed property by Vehicle. By the way, by creating a non-static Speed property (as int, for example) in Vehicle Class with INotifyPropertyChanged raised in the setter, it does not work. The event seems to be raised, but my converter is not fired, and my controls does not update.
In my Vehicle Class
Private SpeedValue As Integer <XmlIgnore()> Public Property Speed() As Short Get
[Code]....
The PlaneView Class is almost the same for this part.
I confirm that the converter is fired just once, the first time, when the tabs are created, because I put a breakpoint on the Convert function definition. After that, the converter is never fired again. So the picture img_fonctionnement is displayed, but it is never updated. But the Speed property is updated, I swear. And the INotifyPropertyChanged (in Speed's setter) is raised, as far as i know with the help of the debugger.
And the "an item with the same key has already been added" (which appears in a messageBox, and not as an exception) seems to appear only when I am to long with the debugger. In normal execution mode, it never shows.
How can I call multiple objects? Example.. nameTextbox.Enabled addressTextbox.Enabled ContactTextbox.Enabled How can I call this objects with same properties...
So rather than typing them all with =True or False... I just have to type a variable = True or false... And where will I type the code.
So I want to click on different things in a listbox and somethings have a picture and some dont. I want the things without a picture to all show the same thing. I've tried this:
Code:
If ListBox1.SelectedItem = object1 Then PictureBox1.ImageLocation = object1picture Else
[CODE]...
This only works for object2 and I know why, but I dont know the correct way to make it work for multiple objects.
I'm using VB.net from the Visual Studio 2008. I have a large number of PictureBoxs in a form. They have been created sequentially, Pic1, Pic2, Pic3, ... Depending on how I access this form, I want to turn off a number of them. I'm working with the code below.I can put the name of the object into a variable, Pic, but am still unable to hide the object names in that variable, Pic.Hide().
Dim StartNumber As UShort = 1 Dim StopNumber As UShort = 33 Dim Number As Object = 1
I have one class with <Serialize> attribute called Tree. And Tree class has an arraylist of TreeNode classes. Is it possible to use Soap to convert the Tree class and arraylist of TreeNode classes to one xml file or binary file? If it is possible, do i need to use <Serialize> attribute on TreeNode classes too? If not, what should i do then?
I am in the process of writing a base class for gadgets that will be displayed on a form.I want the gadget to be fully self contained and reusable.At this point it does everything that I need it to do EXCEPT, i'm having trouble figuring out a creative way to serialize my objects using only one object.I have a feeling the answer lies somewhere within the context of using shared functions but I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around it.
In my game, which is just for practice, I have a 2 rectangles one set as the inner bounderies, one set as a sprite, but I want to create walls for my boundaries. So how could I set a string of bounds with this
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress If Sprite.Bounds.Top <> Wall.Bounds.Top Then
I have a collection of populated custom business objects in my app which I'm going to insert into a SQL 2005 DB using a stored procedure. The collection size isn't massive, maybe 20-30 objects.Is there an elegant way to insert all of these objects into the DB in one go without doing something like the following?:
Open DB conn For each item in collection ... Set parameter values of SP from item.properties for SQLCmd
I have about 20 different report tables in my Entity Data Model that all have a few common fields (like start_date and end_date). When my reporting application pulls data for a given report, the first thing I do is filter the table for today's date. This means I have code blocks similar to this throughout my code (VB)[code]...
Is there a way to create a single generic function that can apply some logic to different objects and return that specific object instead of a generic one? Alternatively, is there a way to cast the return value back to the specific entity object type?
My brain is fried at the moment, so here's the scenario.I have a form that adds a member to my VB.NET application.When I press submit I add their details: name and number as well as what products they want (internet and phone). Internet and Phone are their own class as is member.
I want to add that they HAVE whichever they have chosen and with the member store it.
[Code]...
As what happens is once the member is created (stored) I will go to input how much they have used, and then store that. But to do so I will need access to the internet and phone classes, which are associated with said member.
My program has multiple webbrowser objects, each one in a different tab. How would i go about setting up a button to refresh only the webbrowser on the active tab?
I am trying to save multiple type of objects to a single file, objects are a custom class that I am able to serializable and another object is a word document that is not being able to serialize via binary. Is there a way to save multiple objects to one file using vb, also would it be possible to save files like how a docx is saved, that is a .zip renamed as docx but get access to inner objects.
I am trying to create a load and save function for my customizable Menu/Tool/StatusStrip controls (see signature). Those three controls use a single AppearanceControl class, which is mainly just a large list of properties (Colors) which control the colors of the Menu/Tool/StatusStrip.
I want to be able to save and load the values of these properties so the user can store them and load others with ease. Serialization seemed the obvious answer, although I never used it before.
Now, there is a slight problem that I cannot serialize Colors, so I simply gave each Color property the XmlIgnore attribute, and created an Integer property that gets and sets the Color property (using Color.ToArgb and Color.FromArgb). This way I can serialize the color properties succesfully.
Then, there is another problem. The properties are not all in the AppearanceControl class. Instead, the AppearanceControl class has a large number of subclasses, which in turn contain the color properties.
As a small example, I may have this:
vb.net Public Class AppearanceControl Private _toolStripColorProperties As ToolStripColorProperties Private _menuStripColorProperties As MenuStripColorProperties
I'm trying to set up a system to resize multiple objects on a form (40+) when the form resizes. I've got it working but it's rather slow, when I resize the form it stutters a lot from looping through the objects to resize them. Is there a better way to do this that would not cause the stuttering effect?
i have a table with data title and date of the data inserted.and right now i want to do count to make the statistic out of it.can i do multiple count in one sql statement?like from, the column date, i want to count how many on this month, and how many in this year, until month selected. this is what i have come up, for now.
SELECT a.trigger_type_code , c.trigger_name , COUNT(*) AS number FROM issue_trigger a
How best to manage multiple dat files for serializable objects of the same class. If one of my data files goes past a particular size, I want to create a new file. I then loop through both files when I do processing. Is there any easier way to do this and what's the best size to do this at in terms of performance?
