We would like to create a client-server architecture application that the server can control all client computers connected to it (e.g shutdown) and we would like to put a security login and a desktop lockeron the clients. The process of the system is that when the clients starts, the desktop is locked and ofcourse the user can't access the desktop unless he/she logged-in. And when the scheduled time (e.g 1 hour) is done, the client computers where automatically shutdown like the Time Logger Softwares

I have a SP that returns a these in table form if passed the id of the relevant row.How do I get that is from the gridview to pass to the drop down and load it correctly?

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a user control similar to the Windows Vista/7 breadcrumb bar used in windows explorer. However, when I show the drop down menu for a breadcrumb with many sub items, I get a very long list that sometimes exceeds the screen size. In the Windows Vista/7 example however, there are a maximum of 18 items displayed at a time and a scrollbar appears at the right when the number of sub items exceeds this number (18).

Dropdown menu IN tab control?
View 13 RepliesI've been trying to figure out the easiest way to populate a menu to allow for easy updating in the future. I would like to add anything to a specific folder and when the program runs it would be populated by the contents of the specific folder. Is this possible? What should I look into to do this? Not sure of the process to use to do this, that is if it is even possible.

I am trying to build a program that has a Dropdown menu (Combobox) where you select between a list of items like
xbox
ps2
ps3
wii
then once you select one of the options the program will bring you to a new window (In the same window) with a new box that has a list depending on which word you chose earlier. As an example.
If you chose xbox on the first window it will bring you to a window with a new list like
fighting game 2009
fighting game 2010
fighting game 2011
then if you select fighting game 2011 you would get another window that showed a list that had a list of characters from that game.
Guy One
Funny Hat Guy
Big Nose Guy
Dead Guy
Beast Thing
Funny Turtle Thing
Then in the new window you get a selection of options for the character you selected.
Special Skills
Combo Moves
Unlockable Content
Then if you select one of those you get a new window that has the lists. for example.
If you chose Special Skills show the list of special skills like the following.
Uppercut: Down + Y
Face Smasher: Back, Forward, B
and maybe beside the list of moves it could display an image of a Screen shot that shows the move (Or not if it is too complicated).
is it possible to have a drop down menu from a button, somewhat similar to windows right click on a file, except, click/double click a button. if you do answer, can you provide a sample code, let's say, option1 (on the drop down menu) get's text to change to bold, option 2 to italic, and so on..
View 6 RepliesI decided to make a small app that runs another app with arguments. I think the best way to do it was selecting one option from a dropdown menu and using this option as an argument to run the app.
The clean part I did: Public Class LanguageSelectDialog
Private Sub LanguageSelectDialog_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub
[Code]....
Since I'm just trying out, I've made an blank app just for testing purposes. What I need to do in order to pass the selected option as argument? I'm using VisualStudio 2010.
Other 2 things that I didn't figured out:
- how can I make a form unresizable?
- how can I make the dropdown menu not editable?
My latest project is to write an app that has a drop-down menu where I can choose different office locations. Once a choice is made I want a handful of different buttons which would vary between location choice. When a button is clicked it will install a printer. I've got the button and install part down but don't know where to start with the dropdown and showing different options upon choice.
View 2 RepliesI have two drop down boxes in my program. When you select an item from the first drop down, it populates select-able items in the second.
