I want to make something like an alarm clock. So, I want my programe to trigger a certain event at lets say, 8:00 AM and 16:00 PM.
I was thinking something with timers ticking every second and checking if the time I want is equal to the system time. But....I didn't manage to make it work. So, how do I make this work ?
I have a TreeView object on my form, with check boxes. By the way, I'm working with vb.NET. I want it to perform a few different things with the aftercheck event:
If you check a node, check all its children
If you uncheck a node, uncheck the parent node
If you uncheck a node, uncheck all its children
The problem is when you uncheck a node, it unchecks its parent node, which triggers the event again and unchecks all its children.
Would there be a way to prevent the event from triggering a second time? Or will I have to give up on one of those two points?
Here's the code, if it helps any:
If e.Node.Level > 0 Then
If e.Node.Checked = False Then
If e.Node.Parent.Checked = True Then

I'm having a strange problem with the OnClick event. In an ArcGIS application using VB.Net, I have a button set up with the following
AddItem("CommandAnalyseResults")
The following module segment contains the OnClick event: Public NotInheritable Class CommandAnalyseResults
Inherits BaseTool <more code...>
Public Overrides Sub OnClick()
[Code]...
The OnClick event gets triggered no problem the first time I click on the button. However if I then close the window the button code creates and then click on the button again, the OnClick code is not triggered.
If I click on a different button then click back on the 'problem' button a 2nd time, it does seem to trigger the code!
I have a checkbox X1 that if checked it will check a column of checkboxes.What i'm trying to do is if the user unchecks at least one checkbox from the column it will uncheck checkbox X1. But I don't want it to run the event from checkbox X1 again because that will cause the whole column of checkboxes to be unchecked.
View 2 RepliesI need a simple system that allows one process to check if another process is running (I think I can do that fine using Process.getProcessByName or similar) and then trigger an event in that process assuming it is.When I say trigger an event I do not mean that literally. I simply need to trigger a sub in the first process from the second.I know that IPC like this would normally be done with pipes or remoting or something like that but I have no experience with these and am looking for a quick solution, so unless these can be used relatively easily to solve this I am looking for an alternative.
View 2 RepliesI'm converting an old VB form to .NET, and there a few Buttons which each have a corresponding ComboBox hiding behind them. The previous behavior was that you'd click the Button, and that would trigger the ComboBox behind it, which would then drop down a selection list. I believe the idea was to have a static color and text label (which cannot be a selectable option in the drop-down list), with the functionality of a ComboBox.
Now, in VB.NET, clicking on the Button (which is directly over the ComboBox in the form) won't trigger the ComboBox dropdown anymore. However, if I make the ComboBox visible enough to click on, it will trigger the ComboBox.TextChanged event, and show the drop-down (they're set to the DropDownList style). I've set the event handler to handle both that event and the Button event. I've tried Button.MouseDown, Button.MouseClick, and Button.Click -- none of which have worked.
I did find the SplitButton control option suggested here, which would probably do the job, but I don't want to have to integrate a non-native control for just 3 buttons. I don't really want to mess with the control template, either
Using VB 2008 Express I have a form in which a number of controls which have event handlers to monitor choices the user is making. The event handlers do work as expected, but the problem I'm having shows up when I load the form.For example, I have:
Code:
Private Sub RadioButton6_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadioButton6.CheckedChanged
MsgBox("I got checked!", MsgBoxStyle.Critical)
End Sub
When I load the form in question from the main form of the program, I get the message box, even though the user hasn't actually clicked the radio box. The problem arises when I try to use a call to a function that works fine, as long as the entire form has loaded. Called prematurely, the function fails.How do I solve this so these event handlers don't trigger when the form is being loaded?
I'm trying to reset a form after a game has been played. I used checkboxes to indicate when the user picked a particular line item to update and then flagged the checkbox as checked and disabled.Once all the checkboxes have been checked, the game is over and I want to show a dialog (msgbox) that will allow the user to start a new game or exit the app. To reset the form, I was changing all the checkstates back to unchecked (along with resetting other variables), but the checkchanged events are being triggered and I end up in a loop.Is there a way to change the checkstate without triggering the event?[code]....

View 1 RepliesThis is a spin-off post from another issue I am working on. The problem is related to triggering event handlers when the user makes an input into a combo box, you might even call this a complaint.I have a combobox with a DataSource and ValueMember and DisplayMember. There is no DataBindings to worry about at this point. The combobox is DropDownStyle = DropDown and I havealso enabled AutoCompleteSource = ListSource and AutoCompleteMode = SuggestAppend.The datasource contains a list of Countires, and when the user types in an entry or chooses an entry from the combobox, I should be able to detect what the user has selected ortyped immediatley after the selection, some would say it's the very purpose of the combo box.Which event would you choose to deterine what the user has entered or Selected? few events come to mind:
SelectedValueChanged
SelectedIndexChanged
Validating

View 1 RepliesI have a form that is bound to a table of data. I have a typical binding navigator. When I go to a different record such as next, previous, first or last I need a subroutine named "LayoutAdjust()" to execute "after" the new next record data is loaded on form. I tried calling the subroutine in the "BindingNavigatorMoveNextItem_Click" action but it executed the procedure before the next record data was loaded
View 1 RepliesI have an ASP.Net web user control which represents a single entry in a list. To allow users to reorder the items, each item has buttons to move the item up or down the list. Clicking on one of these raises an event to the parent page, which then shuffles the items in the placeholder control.Code fragments from the list entry:
Public Event UpClicked As System.EventHandler
Protected Sub btnUp_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles btnUp.Click
[code]....
It originally looked in testing like every other time the value for sender (verified by its properties) that reaches UpClicked is of an adjacent ListItem, not the one I've just clicked on - the first click is always wrong, then the second for the correct control.At present,testing appears to show that the button's click event is just being ignored every other time through.Breakpoints on the click events within the control simply aren't being hit, though the events are definitely being established.

I am using a Combo box control to select from a list of Databases, and when one entry is selected I display a listbox of certain objects in the database.Other controls are then used to filter the list based on either name or content.Now, I want to know how to Re-load the original list based on the current combo box selection by using a 'Reload' button.In the button code I am setting focus back to the combo box, but whatever I try I cannot make the list refresh again. I've tried Select, SelectedItem, Text and Find methods but nothing works.How do I reload the listbox without having to manually use the drop-down and select the same item again?
View 7 RepliesI have two richtextboxes, richtextbox1 and richtextbox2 on top of richtextbox1 with richtextbox2.visible = false on form load. Whatever is input in richtextbox1 is placed in an array when rictextbox1 loses focus. Now I have a checkbox that when enabled, hides richtextbox1 and shows richtextbox2. On the first time richtextbox2 is shown, i want it to display the contents of richtextbox1. This is achieved by setting a boolean flag (firsttime=true) on form load, then in the checkbox code if firsttime = true, it displays content of richtextbox1 and sets firsttime to false.

Have created a few stand alone projects but nothing major... Using a trial of VB Studio 2010 (.net 4)
a) I have two networked pc's ("PC1" and "PC2") with a solution on each which has a "textbox" and a "send" button. Just want to type "hello" in textbox on PC1 then hit send and it appears in PC2 textbox so that I can base if statements etc. on it.
something like:
//PC2.App2.textbox2.text = textbox1.text
on a button would be perfect but i'm guessing that's far too simple.
b) Video Triggering over network - pretty well sames as above, just want to hit button1 on PC1 and it plays "1.wmv" in "axwindowsmediaplayer1" on "PC2".
c) How can I play a .mov/vob/avi/mpg/flv in an "axwindowmediaplayer1" ? if not possible how do I go about playing videos of all types in my programs?
I need to trigger a submit when saving my image file in SQL 2005 database. A user will upload their image file.My application will then check to see if the image file size is within specific requirements.If so, then save the image into a table where the field is image data type. (if size does not meet requirements, display error message and exit sub). The issue is if I save the image file to the database, the value is saved correctly (however, I have not checked the image size).
If I check the image file size first, THEN save it, the value saved is corrupted (incorrect). Is there a way that I can check the file size, then save the file while doing a submit in code-behind?
My code is below:
Dim iRequiredImageHeight As Integer = 80
Dim iRequiredImageWidth As Integer = 280
