This is simple other than I'm trying to be efficiant as possible, so I made a sub that creates the textbox and the button calls the sub. Here is where it gets tricky I want the new textbox to move just below the previouse textbox, I'm not sure how to do this since Im only really createing one textbox over and over and having a variable name it by one.

View 1 RepliesI have a form called main with 10 number of text boxes.my second small form called popup & I want to appear right corner of selected text box. Ex - when I click 1st text box, I want to appear the popup next to the firs text box, then I click 2nd text box I want to move popup to 2nd text box.
so I used
New Point(10 + Me.Location.X + SerchTextBox.Width + SerchTextBox.Location.X, 20 + Me.Location.Y + SerchTextBox.Height + SerchTextBox.Location.Y)
the problem is I have large no of textboxes & difficult to changed each textbox name each place.
If I can get selected textbox coordinates X & Y its easy & compact. How can I find selected text box location.
I have 100 textbox exist on a form (10,10). I had used the following property of each textbox(.Text, .Tag, Tooltip, AccessibleName). I need to drag from any textbox to another textbox and they replace each other by the 4 content mentioned above. Instead, I managed to change the location of the source and target textbox by drag and drop which seems to be easier. I have 100 textboxes, I will not do a programming for each one putting a code at design time. there should be a way to do it by programming
The code I found to replace location between 2 textboxes is this
Private Sub tbfromMouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles tbFrom.MouseDown
tbFrom.DoDragDrop(tbFrom, DragDropEffects.Move)
End Sub

View 6 RepliesI need to be able to allow the user to type in a file name and folder location into a textbox then when you run the program (that the client makes) it will create a program in that location. The problem is that when it runs it says that access to the folder is denied. I Think it is because it is that there is a file with the same name as the folder. The input as of now i have it as "C:\Another Folder\Filename.exe" but when I do this it creates two folders (Another folder and Filename.exe)... I thought that you could do it using substrings and last index of but either i wasn't doing it correctly or it doesn't work. I want to be able to do this from one textbox.
dim rootname as string = textbox1
dim exename as string
dim location as string

I am using this line of code to place a special character in a textbox at the cursor location:
Me.RichTextBoxPrintCtrl0.Text = Me.RichTextBox.Text.Insert(cursorloc, "ῳ")
It works good, but after it has been done, if you try to undo the action by pressing control Z, for example, it is not undoable. Is there a way to make the action undoable?
I have a MDI form with different controls, two of they are multiline textboxes, and by default the form opens in normal state. Once opened, if I maximize the form all the controls location and size are as I wants (using the anchor property). And now comes the estrange error, if I have opened other form maximized, and then I open the first mentioned form, the multiline textboxes location is wrong, they are upper than the correct location.
Note 1: If I change multiline to false, all works fine.Note 2: The textboxes location is in the bottom of the form and the anchor is left, bottom and right.I try different possibilities and search information in the web without results.
i am using an unbound datagridview so i can dynamiclly add rows. all that is working fine. but the grid is not is the location i have coded.. i am using the defualt form as a base then coding the unbound stuff in.. should i just create a blank class file and do everything? the only problem i am having is the grid must bees in the correct location according to the pixel point that i have given it. Right now it is placing the grid at point (0,0) no matter what point is entered on the line for location. so what am i missing??????

I have 2 group box components and both are same size,font,location and visible is false. When i click button2, the groupbox1 won't appear(the group box2 is on bottom n group box1 is on top).
Example:
button1
groupbox1.visible=false
groupbox2.visible=true
button2
groupbox1.visible=true
groupbox2.visible=false
Because i want to show the different,so the location have a little different(actually both are same location). I think my code is no problem. The problem i guess is both component cannot locate at same location?
we have a user that my program works fine for.. and another that it just crashes for.. they get this error
"You cannot start application <App_Name> from this location because it is already installed from a different location."
then they run it up again and it comes up.. and then just closes..in reading some stuff online it says its a framework 2.0 sp 1 issue ?these pc's have 3.5, but my program uses all 2.0 stuff..so is this a 2.0 sp level issue ? or should I make my programs start to use framework 3.0 instead ?
I was using this old method of creating a bunch of rectangles when I need to get the location of a certain point within a grid so I could draw images on the grid. The thing is, I don't want to use rectangles, I want to be able to just round the location as if I were using rectangles. I need it to be able to round the point (66,70) to (50,50) so if you can imagine a grid and the mouse position being within that square in the grid, I need to get the location of the upper left corner of that square.

View 13 RepliesI have encounterd a problem when trying to re-enstall a program i have writen in vb 2008.I get the following message:"You cannot start application Shell from this location because it is already installed from a different location."This program is to be used on many workstation computers and i need to be able to update any changes by just reinstalling the program, no uninstalling needed first. If the program was installed from a cd first and needs to be updated from a flash disk this error will be a problem, if the update is from a cd as well then there is no problem.Is there a way to change the installation package to ignore where the program installs from and just update itself?

This code works on my local machine (Windows 7 Ultimate).When I tried it on WindowsXP,it didn't even open the dialog,instead it gave me an Unhandeled Exception error.
I can't remember the specific details of the error,but I do recall my profesor telling me there could be something wrong with permissions(me being the ONLY user on my machine,and his machine having multiple user accounts).
But what does all that have to do with opening the SaveFileDialog?
Could it be that SaveFileDialog1.AutoUpgradeEnabled = True is causing the problem?
My users need to browse to select a file and then save it to a different location. Here's my code I've got so far - it incorporates the OpenFileDialog to open the file and the SaveFileDialog to save the file. When the code goes into the OpenFileDialog portion, it works great....the initial directory is set to "C:" This is where the user will select the file they want to save to another location.
View 6 RepliesI have an .net 1.1 framework application I would like to update to 3.0 framework (or at least 2.0), but I've just run into a real problem. The savefile dialog code which works fine in 1.1 does not work in 2.0 and up. Line for line the code is the same (thereis no difference in line numbers at all). I'm baffled.With the exception of throwing an error for the Quicktime 7 control, VS2008 indicated no errors in converting 1.1I open my 1.1 (VS 2003) version and step through line-by-line. Works as advertised.I open my 2.0 (VS 2008) version and step through line-by-line. Appears to be working, dialog opens fine, I enter a filename, code continues; but when complete, there is no file in the folder.I'm wondering if the problem lies in the block of code for the small XML file I'm writing.
