I want to show a dialog box or form immediately after my application loads. If I place a .showdialog in the main form load event the dialog shows before the application shows.
I'm trying to give some user tips when they load my application.
I have an app that before it loads the form it uses Location to place the controls in the wright place.When it loads up I can see their original outline before they are displayed in their new location.So I have moved the the sub before the form load event but the result was the same.I also tried me.control.clear at the beginning of the formload.But I cant seam to find contrl property that allows to show all
Private Sub control_location()
CWgroupconfig()
Buildergroupconfig()

View 8 RepliesI am just a beginner in vb .net. I am now developing a window-based software.This is the problem:
1. After the user log-in, the system must show the parent form and automatically show the main transaction form base on the user role or user accessibility in my system manager. Is it possible to do this?
2. In my menulist, I need to recognize which menulist.item is selected. So, I need to bold the letter of the selected menulist.item or underline the word.
I have a little problem, nothing very serious, but something that anoys me and i can�t solve.
I have a VB.NET windows form project, with a main MDI form containing a menu.
I load all forms with:
Private Sub MostrarFormulario(ByRef formulario As Form)
Try
formulario.MdiParent = Me
formulario.BackgroundImage = Me.BackgroundImage
formulario.BackgroundImageLayout = Me.BackgroundImageLayout
[Code]...
When show the form, i can see all combos / grids / objects being placed and feeded. Its a fraction of second (in fast machines). All my objects placing and loading are made in the Activated event.(because some combos data may have been added/deleted and the app can have multiples form oppened at the same time).
Is there a method for loading everything first (not showing) and then display all at the same time?
How do i get my first item to show in combo box when form has loaded?

View 7 RepliesIn an attempt to learn VB I'm trying to build a database project for a friend's business. This db will be used to track customer information, predominantly for targeted marketing purposes. So far, the development has been slow (I'm still trying to adapt from VBA to VB), but its all starting to make sense now. I'm using two different forms for adding new customers and reviewing the information of existing customers, mainly because the database will grow by about 2,500 customers per year and we wanted to be able to search the records without returning every record when the forms load. Most of this works so far, but I'm having trouble with two issues.
When I open the new customer entry form, I want the form to automatically begin entering data without clicking the "Add New" button. The second problem involves the row ID from the database. It keep showing up as "-1", "-2" etc. The row ID records properly in the table, so no big deal. I have read that this problem is a bug in VB and that its nothing to worry about. However, down the road I will need to access the correct row ID from this same form in order to print out a report for the customer (as needed).
For what its worth here is the code I have so far:
Code:
'Update current record when the form closes
Private Sub frmNewCustomer_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Me.TblCustomersBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.TblCustomersTableAdapter.Update(Me.dsNewCustomer.tblCustomers)

View 6 RepliesI want to able to hold a key down while the application is loading and depending on which is being held down a certain form is shown.
For example holding down shift and the opening itunes opens a little dialog allowing you set the library(or something)
I can check whether the shift/Ctrl/Alt are being held down but i'd prefer to use the letters/digits.
Such as hold 1 down to open Form1 and hold 2 down to open form 2.

View 1 RepliesI have a VB application in .NET Framework 2.0 and I'm using VS 2008 Professional for development. The application is running without any problem on some PCs and it's not running on one of the PCs. To make sure that nothing is wrong with the that specific PC, I tried to reproduce the issue on my machine. So I formatted my PC and reinstalled everything. After installing .NET Framework and required drivers, the ran the application i got the same error. Then I installed VS 2008 and open the project to debug my code and then I realized that the exception is being thrown on this line:

View 1 RepliesIm suppose to make an application that tracks electric motors in a manufacturing plant. It needs to have
MotorID:Five-digit string, such as "02340"
Description:String
RPM: Integer, values in the range of 10 to 10000
[Code]......
I was thinking about doing this part in radiobuttons
The application should be able to store at least 10 motor class objects in an array, create an input form in the application that allow users to input new motor records to be added to the array and create another form that displays all the motors in the array in a list box. This is what I got so far, I know its not much, but whats really puzzling me is how am I suppose to show all the data in the listbox in the second form.
This is whatI got for the first form
Public Class Form1
Dim range As Integer = 0
Dim voltage As Integer = 0
[Code]....
and the second form I really dont know where to even start on that one.
How do i make a form show when a user uses my application for the first time and only shows that time.

The insertion part of the form works great. But my problem is in the form load part......If i leave a field blank(Null),then perform Save operation,close the form after successful insertion and then reopen the form,then it retains the previous values during the form load......This is only in case where i leave a field blank in the previous data entry in the database.......But if i enter values in all fields then form load is working great.

I'm trying to figure out some Excel automation. I have a form set up so the user can click on a label to open an Excel file (as a background process I guess) so the file isn't actually visible. Once they click on the "Convert to Count" button it will multiply all the values in Column B by 1,250 and put the output in Column C. Once it has finished this action, it makes the file visible so the user can choose to save it or not. Also, some users have Excel 2003 and some have 2007. Would it be possible to be able to load both xls and xlsx?[URL]..I must say I am very new with .NET and have a little bit of knowledge with VB6. I'm not sure where to even begin. I've looked up some ways to load an excel file but couldn't get it to work the way I need it to. Most of the ways I found were loading the file into a DataGridView. I don't want to use a DataGridView if I don't have to. Some of the files the users might be loading could have 10,000+ rows and that would take too long I think.
