like when i close a program, i want it to save its location (i guess to the registry, idk) and then when it loads, i want it to load back where it was.this is what i have so far. it saves to the registry ok, but it doesnt load where it should. also, my button1 click is what saves the location for now, but this code is just a test app for this.
Code:
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.Win32

I have looking for a tutorial or class that demonstrates more than a trivial example of saving a windows position on closing. The ones I have found don't seem to work on all systems because of:
1. Multiple monitors. (and resolution between those monitors)
2. Toolbar size and position (toolbar is only on the primary monitor, well sometimes)
3. Sometimes the programs dont open on the right monitor they were closed on.
Is there an extensive class or tutorial on all the stuff a programmer needs to get right to have a window size and position persisted between executions?

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.

View 2 RepliesUsing 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.
Dim comp(maxsize) as ccircuits[globally declared]
Const maxsize = 50

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.
