Pause For User Input?
Jun 26, 2011
On my main form i need to pop up a sub form and await user input before proceeding. I am able to pop the form but not able to pause code excecution until the user input is there. Here is what i have tried:
If chk_athor_cobb_scholi.Checked = True Then
Vselect.Visible = True
While Vselect.ex2 = False
[Code].....
The problem of course is that the while loop causes a crazy infinite loop and locks the program down during excecution. How do i await the user input?

I'm tryng to figure out a way how I can stop my code from running while I wait for input from a device.Networked device that sends data to .net app.I now wish to prompt the user to answer a 'Continue' questoion and select either 'Yes' or 'No' on the device. This is transmitted to program over netstream.I want the code to pause though while waiting for an answer as different routines are run dependent on the answer.

Please feel free to critique my attached code. [Code]

If my Category and Forum selection is incorrect I am sorry and feel free to move it. I'd like to have the users input in the message box that will show. For example: There is a textbox and the user puts in their name as Bob. Then the message box would be: What my main goal is, is being able to include the users input they type inside the textbox inside the message box.

I cannot figure out how to incorporate the number of days into the input box then get it to loop and count the number of times the User inputs in the number of days. Then I have to incorporate it into the equation to get the total distance D = MPH * Hours. What I have right now wil not count up the number of days and locks up after I input one number and will not add anything to the listbox. Because I also have to make sure that they cant add nonnumaric values and the number of hours per day cannot exceed 20. I have put things in and taken them out but it has been 2 days and I am lost now

1) Why the pause button and also the pause command does not exist in VB 2010 Express?
2) I have some solutions under 2010. In 2 or 3, while debugging, I can change instructions without restarting the application. In others, I cannot change anything (Is like readonly), Looking in 'My Applications', Tab 'Debug', Option 'Configuration' I can choose several Options. In the applications I can debug, the default is 'Active (Debug)'; in the others is 'Active (Release)'. If I change the options, the word 'Active' remains attached to the original option.

I have a lengthy XML file that I want to search based on text that a user types in. Because it's lengthy, I want to wait for the user to stop typing for 250ms or so before I actually start searching in the background. I tried to kick off my Task, having it sleep for 250ms, then check if my CancelTokenSource had canceled because another character was typed. I'm not seeing a cancellation, though, so I end up seeing my results flash several times as the queued up search tasks complete, one after the other, after I finish typing.

I am creating a form for work where managers can report when they find a customer's personal information laying around on a desk (we work at a call center where agents answer calls for a wireless cell phone provider, so we take personal information security very seriously). Anyway, I am wondering if there is a way to have a text box autofill with that manager's windows username (since they will need to be logged into their own profile to use the form).

I need something tje user can type in data to such a parts QTY cost etc. There are no predefined parts list so the user can enter any part name/Number and there is no limit to amount of parts that can be entered.
Does anyone have any idea what might be useful. It was thinks of a listview bu i can't see that you can type into that. I cant use comboboxs because there are no predefined list and i know there is some way to generate text at runtime (i think) but i don't know how to do it and i would prefer a clearer approach.

I have an app that I'm debugging and I need to pause it by clicking on a "pause" button in the development environment. I don't want to stop it programmatically, just manually to check what it is doing. I know this should be simple but I can't find a pause button anywhere on the toolbar.

If Not IsNumeric(textbox1.Text) Then
KeyAscii = 0
End If
I learned in MSDN and wrote those code,but it doesn't work. This code " KeyAscii = 0" it's not correct, I just want to cancel the input, for instance,if user input 1a, then "a" will be not inputted into textbox, but "1" will leave.

It's suppose to take the rate of a bunch of employees that are programmed into the application using an array, and multiply it by a decimal number that the user inputs into the application.

I have followed a tutorial at url.... It is a very good tutorial but it is also a little dated. Most people who visit it praise it to high heaven so I decided it was a good place to start as an absolute beginner to programming. (I have teamed it up with Dan Mabbut Vis basic tutorial at about.com and joined DreamInCode in order to learn what I can accomplish with Visual Basic 2008 Express ). I am up to part 6 of 7 but keep going back to part 4 because there is one aspect I just cant work out.I am creating a form which logs staff in or out of work and allows staff to include a message with their ( at work /away from work ) status details on the form.The form is supposed to update a users status in a new row when they click a button. In my form the rows per user are being over-written with the updated information - it is not being written in a new row. There is a login form which precedes the staff status form - this has a little relevant code re calling the user info from the database but I think my problem is related to the insert statement in the middle of the below code.[code]
My code has changed quite a bit since the above as the form has progressed but the problem started at the stage above and has not changed with the forms progression. Every other aspect of staff update info is working well in my form - just not in a new row.I am going bald - The tutorial was written for VB2005 Express - I am using VB2008 Express though it has not made too much difference to the tutorial.

Alright. I have a project I need to complete by 11:00 am today. I need a program that will allow a user to input a phrase into a text box. Another text box to input a letter. Then I need the program to count how many times, the letter appears in the phrase. I have everything set up. I know how to count how many characters are in the string, but not how many designated letters there is.

I have text box in my program where I need the user to enter at least six characters. They also need to include at least one alphabetic and one numeric character.My idea is to create a loop that uses the IndexOf string manipulation to check each character. I'm familiar with the IsNumeric method .

Probably I am asking something stupid. I have a datagridview in which I would like to be able to let the user change values of multiple columns by entering values (input 55.0) or additions(input +1.2)/decreases(input -1.2).How can I check what the exact input of the user is ?
At the moment I only use the input value (so for exampel 55.0) for which I use the DataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value which I put in all selected cells, but I would like to receive the exact user input (so eg '+1.2')
