I have the following settings:
ControlBox : False
WindowState: Maximized
Because I want the user to have a full screen application that they cannot close without using my Exit menu. The problem is, they can simply grab the title bar of the form and drag it, exposing the desktop!
How do I prevent a child form from moving down and across each time it is opened? I want it to always open in the extreme top left.

I am updating my last post so hopefully someone will help. I have following code that will move a cell to the next column when hitting the enter key while doing an edit. It will even check the row at the last cell to validate data is present.
However, if there is no data in a cell and I press enter, the focus moves to the next line like it normally does. I need to prevent the user from moving or clicking on any cell until the cell they are on has data in it. Here is the coe I have used[code]...

View 14 RepliesI have a datagrid that will be accepting data from an external measuring device via the serial port. The grid is also open to editing records as well. Part of the process of making this grid user friendly is to intercept the "enter" key and move to the next cell until there is a value in the cell. This is only for some cells, other cells can be blank. I have worked out how to intercept the "enter" key from another post on this forum. Here is the code:

I made a custom control in which there is a textbox but I want it used only as an output control, for showing text and stuff. Problem is that as soon as my form opens up the focus is turned to the textbox and I cannot catch my keyboard events on the form anymore(since the other controls are pictureboxes). I need a way to make this box "unclickable" or any way in which it is impossible to attribute the focus.[url]...

View 11 RepliesI'm creating an application in visual basic, basically a part of it is where I hope to achieve the function whereby users can move pictureboxs(images) when visual basic is running.
Basically, i've got several picture boxes that obviously cannot be moved around the form at the minute.
For example, i want to be able the user to be able to move picturebox1 around the form when they click on it and move it where they want to as opposed to what it does now - doesnt move.
I've just started using user settings. This works ok however I'm having problems with the location of user.config.
When I run the project in Studio, user.config seems to be stored in a different place than when I build the project.
In fact every time I build it the location seems to change - users therefore lose their settings every time the project is built, which seems pretty useless.
The GUID & Assembly names etc do not change.
I have read through some of the other posts and I think what I want to do is slightly different. I have a combo box in VB ExpEd2010 that I want to allow the user to only select from the drop down list. However, I want to be able to set the value in the combo box to something that is not in the list. So the drop down list will have values 1, 2, 3 but I want to be able to write to the same combo box a value of 2.4, 1.2, etc.
View 13 RepliesIs there a way to prevent a user from entering data into a ComboBox, rather then selecting, or can anyone suggest a routine to catch and prevent entries so the user can be made aware the they are not acceptable?
