Saving Dynamic Text Boxes
Jul 29, 2009
I am working on a project where I need to create dynamicly created text boxes (which works fine) and then save the values from those text boxes to a txt file.Essentially how the form works is their are a few static text boxes the user fills out and then presses a button to create a row of 7 other text boxes and they click the button for however many rows they need.Again this part work just fine, but its when I get to trying to save the values in those boxes that I run into trouble.I'm fairly new to vb.net and currently I only know how to save the static boxes using the WriteLine function, which unfortunetely doesn't work for the dynamic ones.

For example, I clicked the Add Text box button, so it added 3 text boxes in the form (I used Dynamic text box so it can add multiple text box). When I input data to one of those 3 text boxes and then Save button has been clicked. It should checked whether the dynamic text boxes are empty or not. If there are empty text boxes, then saving data to db should not be continued and display a message telling the user that empty field(s) are invalid.
In the code below, it saves the data even if there are empty text boxes and I think because it is in the for loop, it checks the text boxes one by one and repeatedly displays the message box that I coded.
Here's the complete code:
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class Form3

how to permanently save to text files then re-open all of the information again using SFD and OFD. Now my teacher has come back at me and said that i need to be able to save the information from multiple text boxes and have the text in certain labels to also be saved into the one text file (the labels need to be done because it is a database and these labels are like the fields and the right text box needs to match the right label)

I have done this in Php with a function before. I just don't know how to do it in VB.I have a character sheet creator for a game I am making. What I am wanting to do is write a single function, where in you click on a button and it will pass the text box name (so that it knows which text box to edit), as well as the value inside of the text box (to make sure that the new character stat ceiling is taken into account).
Private Sub Button_Click
AddtoValue(Textbox1,stats)
End Sub[code].....
Essentially, I need to know what to put for noidea, and noidea2, like, byval or byref or what?

I'm creating an application that works like a recipe box. it has a picture box that is in the design of an index card, and it has 3 text boxes. I am having extreme difficulty saving the text boxes with the picture. i am using a database so that the info can be filtered, by recipe name, course description (appetizer, side dish...etc).

I have an insert statement which works fine but before the record is saved I want to validate the text boxes. So I just need to know how to check for empty text boxes before the save button is clicked on. I have seen a couple of examples like:
Dim ctr As TextBox
If ctr.Text = vbNullString Then
MsgBox("empty box")

I am trying to follow the book 'Sams teach yourself VB 2008'. It was going well until the end of hour 4. For exercise 1 I have created the form with a button and two text boxes, but cannot work out the code I need to move text between the two boxes. The Object Browser does not seem to help - am I reading it wrong?

So as the name states; I am a newer coder.
This is the code i have:
Public Sub RandomNumbers()
Dim s(4) As String
Dim RandomNumber As Byte
I don't know if you can tell what I am trying to do here, so I will try to explain. I what to create for random numbers and place them into for different text boxes. I also would like to do this with combo boxes and their selected indexes. So if the combo box has 10 items in it; the new selected index would be the random number generated above.

I'm in the middle of creating an application that will be used to input customer information whilst the customer is speaking to someone over the phone. This involves the customer giving the employee information such as name, address, postcode etc and the employee inputting that information into text boxes and combo boxes that are in the application.
What I would like to be able to do is after the customers information is given over the phone, I need to be able to send that information to a database which will probably most likely be done by button click. In this case, I'm using Microsoft Access. I'm also hoping that I can do this within Visual Basic coding.
The database is set out with multiple tables which include a customer table and a ticket table and both have multiple fields such as first name, surname in the customers table. Both of these tables are in use with the information that the customer gives over the phone.
I've already asked on other forums and people are where replying giving me third party programs that I could use to implement this, something I don't really want to do.

I'm currently working on a program where I'm trying to dynamically create a picture box, a button, and a label for each item in a text file. Any ideas on how to do this? What I have: a plain text file with a list of numbers. Each number corresponds to a location. When that file is read, I want to create a picture box, a button, and a label related to each number. If I want to add something to the screen, all I Have to do is add a number to the file. So, lets say the file has. 1, 2
When the file loads, it will create a unique item on the display for each location. say pic1, button1, and label1 and pic2, button2, and label2. Right now, if I add something to the file, I have to go back into the editor and manually add everything. Which is a pain.

Wish you all are doing fine at the start of a new year
I am a beginner developer. I am developing a website. I have few divs which made up dragable boxes enhanced by jquery portlets. see the codes below.(html).
<div class="portlet">
<div class="portlet-header"> Category A </div>
<div class="portlet-content">
[Code]....
I also have a stored procedure from the database developer that return the list of categories. Depending on the user selection, the list of categories can vary.
So i have to dynamically create those Boxes. Each categories returned by the SP should replace Category A, Category B, and so on. As i can't know the number of categories returned by the SP i just hard coded those divs. My question is simply how ? How can i achieve this?
I have to be using VB.net in VS 2010. The database is in SQL server 2008.

I'm working on a kind of database program. What it does is, after an user fills in a couple of textboxes and hits an "Add" button, it creates a series of textboxes, and places these in the same form. After that, and here's where I have the problem, I want to be able to save the form, saving not only what each dynamically added textbox says, but also it's location in the form.
Here's part of my work up to now:
Code:
Public Class Form3
Dim k As Integer = 1
Dim i As Integer = 0
Dim j As Integer = 0
Dim x As Integer = 8
Dim y As Integer = 40
[Code] .....
NOTE: Age, name, last name, tel and type are all the fields that the user has to fill in, they are textboxes.

I'm a novice, messing around with input boxes in VB 2010 Express. I know most programmers recommend not using input boxes except for the simplest things, but what I'm doing IS the simplest thing. Besides, I'm really just experimenting for the sake of learning.
I want a few input boxes to appear, one at a time. Let's say there are six input boxes in this project. The user can input anything he wants in each input box. After the user has entered text into the six input boxes, the program should write the text to a file. This is the part I'm having trouble with. [Code]
I haven't figured out if title.input is correct or not, or if I need something instead of commas in between each item. And the headers (i.e. the "First Name" stuff) needs to be added in there also, but I need to get the syntax of the code right first before getting to that.

OK, I'm trying to display tooltip text for a dynamic edit box. Well, at least I'm trying to.
On my form, I've got a tool tip control which I've conveniently named ToolTip. My edit box displays OK. But, what I want to do is when the user hovers their mouse over the text box, I want the tool tip to display some text.
I think there are two problems that I'm having. I'm not convinced that I'm properly addressing a dynamic text box name. Ideally, I would want to be able to refer to the text box (but using a dynamic variable that will contain the prefix of the name). To hardcode, I would want to be able to achieve (not in this example but in theory): ABCDEFGt_0300.Text = "hello"
Dim controllerName as string = "ABCDEFG"
Dim t_0300 As New TextBox()
Me.Controls.Add(t_0300)

I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then
EnglishForm.Show()
ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.

i am trying to automatically generate multiple text boxes on a form with the following code
Private Sub CreateTB(ByVal x As Integer)
Dim y As Integer = 1
Do Until y = x
[Code]...
i need it to generate as many text boxes as the variable x states, so i used the do until loop thing. But i am stuck when it comes to naming the text boxes because obviously all the text boxes cannot share the same name. so i would like to know how to programmatically name each textbox uniquely.

I'm trying to read a text file that contains info like this:
ACX-101-011 , J2168
BTXR-130A-013, D6733
AJ4-233-614, T8211
I want to split each line at the comma and write the left side to a textbox and the the right side to another textbox. I'm close, with the code below, but I can only post results from the first line in the file. How do I loop this and append the text results in each of the textboxes.
Dim TempFile As String
TempFile = "temp.txt"
Dim sw As StreamWriter

I'm trying to make a small database out of text boxes and text files, something where sql would be overkill, not to mention beyond my experience. I want to be able to write the contents of the text boxes to a file.txt (the easy part) then being able to retrieve them back out into individual text boxes. How would I pull this one off?

I need to to able to save multiple text-boxes and a combo-box to a text file. the thing is, when I go to save, I check out the .txt file manually and its saved all in one line, no spaces. when I go to "read" it with the 2nd part (<-----this is a 2 part Challenge) it even reads all from that one line in the text file. What i'm asking is how can I make my text-boxes saved in the text file on different lines. [Code]
