I've got a textbox using a custom auto complete source, which gathers info from what the user has previously typed. Problem is, I can't figure out how to have that source saved when the application closes and loaded when the application opens.
View 6 RepliesI want to make a button to save the contents of a textbox to a text file.
However, I want to create a popup screen so I can select where to save it and as what file name like the picture below.
Is there an easy way of doing this or do I need to create another form to do this.
I'm having trouble setting my own autocomplete list. Looking at MSDN website it says to use an "AutoCompleteStringCollection" which is from " System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection" but my error says this is wrong??[URL]..TextBox AutoCompleteCustomSource Property
Gets or sets a custom System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection to use when the AutoCompleteSource property is set to CustomSource.vb.net

I'd like to learn how I can add a bunch of strings into the AutoCompleteCustomSource property of a TextBox. Actually that doesn't seem to be possible.. What I actually want to do is to make the textbox suggest and append 7000 strings. I can do suggest and append stuff already but AutoCompleteCustomSource can contain a limited number of strings, so I have to find another way to add my strings.
View 4 Repliesmake a diary style application where a password must be typed in then when that is typed in it is possible to view and edit the text. I have it all working but the only problem is that I don't know how to save the text box's contents. I have read a few threads and haven't found an appropriate answer. The problem is that since it's supposed to be a diary I would like to save the text so that it may not be read, preferably not by making another file but by storing it in the program?
Here's the code I have for it so far:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Password As String
Password = TextBox1.Text
[code]....
Textbox1 is where the password is entered, Textbox2 is where the actual text for the diary would go, Button1 processes the typed in password, Button2 hides the text and clears password box, Button3 does nothing and has the text "Save" and I would like to use this button to save. Is there also an automatic way of saving?

View 1 RepliesI'm making a log for my application.I have made the log and it works.I use the streamreader and the streamwriter to save and load the data. I thought that it would be more organized to have columns inside the log.The problem is how will i save the information to the text file and load it up again so that it could organize itself again. The code that i used to make the columns.
log.Columns.Add("Task performed ", CInt((log.Width - 4) * 0.3), HorizontalAlignment.Left)
log.Columns.Add("Time and date", CInt((log.Width - 4) * 0.2), HorizontalAlignment.Left)
log.Columns.Add(" Amount of detected files(s)", CInt((log.Width - 4) * 0.2), HorizontalAlignment.Left)
log.Columns.Add(" App version", CInt((log.Width - 4) * 0.4), HorizontalAlignment.Left)
The code that i use to add the information to the log.

using the code below to save and reload the contents (text and images) of a Listview to a single file. The images are about 100x100 pixels.The problem is that if I save the images as JPG (they are already JPG when adding them to the ImageList/Listview), then after saving and reloading the data a dozen times, the images get distorted. When saving/reloading the images as PNG a dozen times, white spots starts to appear on the images. I guess this is because the images are converted over and over again when saving them.Is there a better to way save the contents of the Listview to a single file? I do not want to save the text and images seperately, because then the user has more to tamper with.

I'm looking to work on a project at work and I'm preparing to do my home screen of my program and I'm stuck on how to prep for all of this. I want to be able to save projects (and its not just one form that will be saved, 26 future forms to be exact), load projects, create new projects and view available projects to be selected from in the home screen. Really a very standard home screen when concerning professional programming. I'm not quite sure how to go about this or when looking ahead what might be a best practice. I haven't worked with databases, so my knowledge is limited.

Using the Microsoft VB 2008 Express program, I'm making a SWd20 character sheet (D&D) to be distributed to a few friends. It's a program where the user can figure out stats, species, class, etc without having to make any calculations him/herself.. but this will all be in vain without saving it..
So I'd love to know how I could make it so the user can save and load the entire file(including buttons, labels, text boxes, menu strips, possibly multiple forms, etc) on his/her own computer.. Is this possible, and if so, how can I go about this?
I've already searched through and found lots on saving text in the files to .txt files, but that doesn't cover everything I need
a member mentioned, xml is similar to a txt file. txt files, i can manipulate quite well. so, if this is the case, it should not be to complicated to do as the thread title describes . that, of course is, if you already know how to even create an xml file. i do not. any and all input/suggestions welcomed, links for xml noobing welcomed as well.

I am doing a project for part of my coursework which involves the creation of a series circuit designer.
I am having some trouble with the saving and loading functions; I had intended to save them to a text file with commas separating the component name and the value (if any) attributed with it.
Grid(xcoord, ycoord, 0) contains the component name. Grid(xcoord, ycoord, 1) contains the attached value (resistance or voltage- components such as wires have a value here of 0)
Once the save button is pressed, the text file contains 50 rows of "0".
P.S. Let me know if any other parts of my program are required.

what I am trying to do is get a program to load data from a text file with multiple lines in the form "Name, Type, Stocklvl, Price, Location, Reorderlvl" then display it all in a data grid. From where it can be viewed and edited as well as saved back into the original file stock.txt as well as generating a separate file reorder.txt which includes data on what needs to be reordered and the date which updates on program exit. I have chosen to use datagridview something I'm unfamiliar with as I figure It'd probably be the most functional to meet my needs of displaying a lot of data clearly as much as 200 items.
