I am working on a project that requires the use of multiple tabs, but the problem is all my codes/layouts so far has been on a single form. How easy would it be to transfer the existing codes and layouts on a single form to a multi-tabs environment ?
View 4 RepliesI need to know how to have a button on a tab to create another button on a second tab that contains a panel, with appropriate spacing, the same size as other buttons already present, and the name of the tab that generated this new button as the text on the newly created button. I.e. button1 on tab1 will create and place a new button on a panel in tab2 that already has a grid of buttons (maybe 3x10 buttons) which will be placed underneath a particular column with the text tab2 on the new button which can also refer back to that tab automatically. Hopefully we can get all this code under a single button event.
I also don't know how to have a button on tab1 that focuses on tab2, which sets the back button on tab2 with a reference to go back to tab1 in order to remain dynamic. I.e. clicking on tab1's button will go to tab2 and set the back button there with a link back to the tab it was referred from.
I'd also like to know if there's an easy way to create and destroy tabs with a specific layout. I.e. We have home tab, and comment tab. (This is for the sake of argument) On the comment tab1 (which contains all posted comments), we have a new comment button which creates a comment tab2 (or a dialog box for that matter) with appropriate textboxes, labels, and buttons in the right places which could also make use of the issues I posted above. So the new comment button on the comment tab1 will create either a new comment tab2 with appropriate objects, or a dialog box with the same, and then the submit button on this comment tab2 or box will create a new textfield/buttons on the panel containing the grid of buttons with the information provided in the fields from comment tab2/dialog box which is then destroyed.
I hope i haven't made the examples too confusing, but I can't figure out how to even make progress in these directions. Trying either fails completely, or semi-fails in getting these examples to function 100%.
I've already tried posting in other forums, but with no replies. Hopefully you all can help me figure this out.EDIT: This is not homework, I have scoured forums and google trying to find the answer to these problems. I'm hoping that because these are mainly VB based forums I can find some answers here.
I am about dead certain that in VB Express 2008 that I was able to have multiple tabs. And, on each tab I put controls. I could also click on a tab and see the controls only on that tab.I am now in Visual Studio Pro and I cannot for the life of me look at what is on a specific tab. Only the first tab wants to shows its controls.Does anyone know how to enable the environment to allow me to view the controls on different tabs?!
View 3 Repliesim making an application in vb.net (duh!) anyway i have created and coded the whole project and it performs exactly as i want it to (i dont need code help). my problem lies with the fact that my project is 2-3 parts
1.a setup form that gathers inital data about the enviroment stores this data encrypted in a config file. after inital setup this form is not displayed again. but needs to be run on both computers
2. the second form is the real application form im in the process of turning this part in to a background service anyway this form is the one that establishes the connection between two nodes it works correctly
3. the config files
anyway here is my problem i want to make this application distributional with just one file the (.exe) and have this .exe make everything else happen. it runs the setup form and creates the first config file which it does then it needs to produce a copy of just the second form and the config file to transfer to workstation #2 that will run independtly without the whole application which i cant make happen then it needs to turn both workstations application on by only starting one on either computer and invoke the other computer to start its corrosponding app also no idea how to make this happen any ideas or suggestions as to where to look to try to find my answers.im thinking i might need to make two seperate applications (a setup app, and the running app) and include them both in a project and use the setup.exe to to package them together this is a little side project that im making for my self to use to make programming a little easier so i plan on giving it out to some fellow students to test and tell me what they think so im not really worried about ease of use or complicated procedures yet but if it turns out to work and actually be of use to anyone else i would be willing to rewrite it to distribute to the masses but for now i just want it to work for me.
I made a simple Form1, with Text.Box1 (starting value=1) and Text.Box2 (starting value = 100000), as shown in the attachment: I wanted that, when the Form loads,value of Text.Box1 keeps on increasing by 2 and value of Text.Box2 keeps on

I've wanted to know the answer to this question for a long time but I never really took the time to ask anyone. My question is, why do rounded edges or drop shadows of transparent form layouts turn white. Take a look at the following image to know what I'm talking about.
View 3 RepliesFormA calls DialogB where user cancels DialogB which exits via ForceTermination(), see insert.Caller FormA check for DialogResult not = OK, which it isn't, and I can see this in debug as Abort(3).However, the code continues merrily along its way until I get a 'null reference' error which I'm trying to avoid via Force Termination().This is caused by the user cancelling DialogB, a selection process to get a database (SQL) instance.[code]

I need update codes as there are insert codes
Coming from PHP and more specifically many of the MVC frameworks out their, I've been use to using basic foreach and if constructs in PHP directly in the layout. Now that I'm learning ASP.NET I'm presented with more proprietary concepts like a ListView to control looping, etc...
So to give an example of what I want to do..
<div id="container">
<h1 class="header">Title</h1>
<% For Each item In ItemsCollection %>
[Code].....
Then there isn't a lot I have to handle in the Code Behind file... besides making ItemsCollection available.
Is This considered Bad Practice? Should I spend the time learning the proprietary controls for ASP.NET? Are there specific limitations of this approach?
I have a problem that is stopping me from creating my interface properly in Visual Studio. I have a listbox and beside that I have a button. I want the button to be on the right side of the control, level with the top of the listbox, but it is remaining at the bottom of the listbox.
View 2 RepliesI have VB6 Dll which I am referencing in vb.net ,I am calling the following function in it. It working fine in developemnt environment but not in deployement environment.
Error Method not found: 'Boolean MyUtils._MyUtils.LoadMyObjectRecords(ADODB.Stream ByRef, System.Array ByRef)'.
I was wondering if there was a solution to replacing the tab control's tabs with custom tabs made in Photoshop. I know there are plenty of super expensive programs that can do it, but I was wondering if there was a way to do it programmatically. I was thinking that maybe it could linked in some way with a .DLL?
View 1 RepliesIn VS2005, I noticed that when you go from the code window to the form window, the form immediately appears, but then redraws again, and takes about 4-5 seconds to come back. Is there any way around this annoyance? Has it been fixed in VS2008? In general, has anyone noticed any speed improvements in the development environment between VS2005 and VS2008?
View 9 RepliesMy code is basically a file parser/editor and it handles most files fine as they hold a handful of records concerning family members. However there are a few files that crash when trying to deal with them. Here is the problem.Each family member record creates 3 tabs that hold an average of 3 group boxes each. Each group box holds an average of 3 text boxes.So each member record creates 3x3x3 = 27 text boxes and some files get up to 289 family members which = 7803 text boxes.
The problem is the rare file with 400+ member records = 10,800 text boxes which causes a crash due to using up all the window handles. Each member has a separate tab page (with 3 subpages) but really only a dozen or so member pages are visible in the GUI with scroll arrows to move through them so I was thinking of somehow making the GUI a scrollable window so the tabs get built, displayed and disposed as the user scrolls left and right through the member tabs.
The files are parsed into a 3d list DataList(x,y,z) where x is the page number, y is the group box number and z is the text box number. So all the data is available. The code then traverses MyList and builds GuiList(x,y) where x is the page number and y is the groupbox number with all the textbox.text linked to MyList(x,y,z) locations so all text changes are reflected in the MyList.
I already have a memberCount variable and I am thinking of building, say, the first 30 member tabs with the middle 10 being visible in the GUI. If the selected tab > 20, then dispose of the first 10 tabs and create tabs 30-40.I am thinking I will keep all the member tab pages so I don't have to deal with inserts and indexing problems but just dispose all the group boxes and text boxes for tab pages out of view. I already have a deep clone sub that clones members when the user wants to add a new family member and I am thinking I will have to add something similar when a tabpage is passed in for disposal, it traverses and disposes each text box, then disposes the group box for each group box on the tab page.Additionally, another routine will rebuild the group boxes from the data held in MyList(x,y,z) when a tabpage(x) is passed in.
I am working on a GUI for a simulation program. The simulation program is a single .exe which is driven by an input file (File.inp placed in the same directory). The Original.inp file functions as a template from which the form reads all the values into an array. Then it changes these values reflecting the changes done by the user in the form. After that it writes all the new values to File.inp. By pushing the "Run" button the Simulation.exe file is executed. The folder structure looks like this:
[Code]..
Ideally I would supply only the GUI, the user would select the working directory and then the GUI.exe would create an input folder and extract the Original.inp and Simulation.exe in the appropriate locations. So far I have only managed to include Original.inp and Simulation.exe as "EmbeddedResources" in my VB project and I have let my code create an input folder in the working directory chosen by the user.
how I can extract the .inp and .exe file into the correct directories? I've searched on google, tried File.WriteAllBytes and Filestream.WriteByte but did not get the desired results. The problem with File.WriteAllBytes was that I could not point to the embedded resource ("Simulation.exe is not a member of Resources" and with Filestream.WriteByte I got a 0 kb file.

I have a form with 3 tabs: one tab is for user entry and computations, a second tab shows values that will be used for computations which are read from one database (I call it settings in that the values are constants for calculations but it's not application settings in the way people think of it, to be clear) and the third displays a table from another database. The second tab has a table adapter interface for the dataset that contains values used for calculations that can be changed (to do different scenarios.) Those numbers are read from a single record in a database that has 20 fields and was read once when the data is loaded into the second tab to be displayed.
The problem I am having is that I would like to use the numbers from the second tab (the constants) in computations to be shown on the first tab. I have tried declaring the variables on the second tab as public but they are already "friends" with the form event. However, when I go to use them in calculations, it's like they don't exist.
For example, one calculation I am doing is fuel cost. The user enters miles and this is stored as a variable called mileage. To calculate the result fuelcost, I have to use two other fields that are shown in the second tab: MPG (miles per gallon) and fuelprice (the price of gas). So fuelcost = (mileage/mpg)*fuelprice. These are read from a datatable called testdata which is actually part of the project. I want to be able to use these variables throughout the program but declaring them as public isn't working.
How do I make the variables from one tab usable elsewhere in the program? The other thing I noticed is since the values of the variables are loaded into textboxes and assigned variable names by naming the textboxes, using val([variablename].text) isn't solving the problem either. For example, saying milespergallon = val(mpg.text) is not doing the trick because I am getting a message that 'text' is not an integer when I declare milespergallon.
Update Here the code that is being used:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim mileage = Int32.Parse(Miles.Text)
Dim rate = 0
Dim baserate = 0
[code]....
TabPage2 is where the variables are displayed that I want to use in TabPage1.
Private Sub TabPage2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TabPage2.Click
End Sub
I start my program with a splashscreen and as soon as the mainform is loaded, databases are loaded and data is crunched it shows the form with everything on it. All very nice. But now comes the trick. The form has a strip of 5 tabs on it. The active tab is shown and directly accesible but as soon as i click on the other tabs it needs time to draw everything and calculate its content. And when i have clicked through all of them everything is finally up to speed. How can i speed things up in such away that all this predrawing etc is done in the background just as i got it to work with my mainwindow and its first tab?
I have this in the load sub:
For i = 0 To TabControl1.TabCount - 1
TabControl1.TabPages.Item(i).Invalidate()
Next
But some how this does not do the trick.
