Use Textbox To Define File Location?
Mar 23, 2012
I need to be able to allow the user to type in a file name and folder location into a textbox then when you run the program (that the client makes) it will create a program in that location. The problem is that when it runs it says that access to the folder is denied. I Think it is because it is that there is a file with the same name as the folder. The input as of now i have it as "C:\Another Folder\Filename.exe" but when I do this it creates two folders (Another folder and Filename.exe)... I thought that you could do it using substrings and last index of but either i wasn't doing it correctly or it doesn't work. I want to be able to do this from one textbox.
dim rootname as string = textbox1
dim exename as string
dim location as string
dim thepath as string
[code]....

My freeware program launches 50 freeware programs and provides a guide for PC maintenance and health. As mentioned in another post, my program was reviewed on Sofpedia. One thing the Reviewer criticized was the fact that my program requires the user to install these 50 programs in the default locations (usually C:Program Filesx). The reviewer thinks it would be best if the user can install to any location he/she desires and my program be able to point to the proper location when launching the application.

I have an application that allows the user to define text in a rich textbox. I would like to give the user the ability to define text for one or more languages. I don't think this will be a problem using the rich textbox as it allows for unicode characters and DBCS (please let me know if this is incorrect). My question is, I display this text throughout the app in other controls as well, such as a listbox, label, etc. by acquiring the RTF's Text property (plain text). Are there problems with other controls displaying unicode/DBCS characters? I realize that I may have to toggle the font of the control in question depending on the language (I will allow the user to specify a default font per language).

I have created a User Control (UC) where user type the information it needed and save it ti MS SQL Database and also have created a User Control dedicated for it's button, since my main form has split container and has two panels, one for UC which contain the button only and the other one for my Main UC where user enter the information.I created a Module that contain the function on adding the data type in UC Main to the database.
[Code]...
on My UCButton named "Save" I just call the function AddUserInformation. But the problem is the variable where it bind to the ucUserControlMain textbox remains Blank, When i query the my database table, only the UserInforID and the DateAdded has been updated and the other column remains blank where the variable get it in the UCMain Textbox...

I'm developing a program at the moment and I'm trying to add the capability to add a texbox everytime you click a button. This is simple other than I'm trying to be efficiant as possible, so I made a sub that creates the textbox and the button calls the sub. Here is where it gets tricky I want the new textbox to move just below the previouse textbox, I'm not sure how to do this since Im only really createing one textbox over and over and having a variable name it by one. This souds confusing I know, but check out my code and it will make since. Really all I'm trying to do is change the location of a unknown textbox say since I create a textbox name textbox0 then when I hit the button again my varibale goes up by 1 which makes the new textbox, textbox1. how to I tell VB to change textbox1's location.[code]...

so I used
New Point(10 + Me.Location.X + SerchTextBox.Width + SerchTextBox.Location.X, 20 + Me.Location.Y + SerchTextBox.Height + SerchTextBox.Location.Y)
the problem is I have large no of textboxes & difficult to changed each textbox name each place.
If I can get selected textbox coordinates X & Y its easy & compact. How can I find selected text box location.

I have 100 textbox exist on a form (10,10). I had used the following property of each textbox(.Text, .Tag, Tooltip, AccessibleName). I need to drag from any textbox to another textbox and they replace each other by the 4 content mentioned above. Instead, I managed to change the location of the source and target textbox by drag and drop which seems to be easier. I have 100 textboxes, I will not do a programming for each one putting a code at design time. there should be a way to do it by programming
The code I found to replace location between 2 textboxes is this
Private Sub tbfromMouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles tbFrom.MouseDown
tbFrom.DoDragDrop(tbFrom, DragDropEffects.Move)
End Sub

I am using this line of code to place a special character in a textbox at the cursor location:
Me.RichTextBoxPrintCtrl0.Text = Me.RichTextBox.Text.Insert(cursorloc, "ῳ")
It works good, but after it has been done, if you try to undo the action by pressing control Z, for example, it is not undoable. Is there a way to make the action undoable?

I have a MDI form with different controls, two of they are multiline textboxes, and by default the form opens in normal state. Once opened, if I maximize the form all the controls location and size are as I wants (using the anchor property). And now comes the estrange error, if I have opened other form maximized, and then I open the first mentioned form, the multiline textboxes location is wrong, they are upper than the correct location.
Note 1: If I change multiline to false, all works fine.Note 2: The textboxes location is in the bottom of the form and the anchor is left, bottom and right.I try different possibilities and search information in the web without results.

on my program i have an activation in it and in order to activate the program you need to enter a code that is stored in the settings. so i was looking through my computer and i found the programs config file. and so I opened it and i found all of the codes for the activation. I need to find out how to make the file so the user doesn't have access to it and then how to move it to a more hidden place in the C: drive.

I'm looking for a way to specify the location for the User.config file that is used for storing the My.Settings object. It appears that this is not possible. The problem for me is, I don't want to be responsible for creating several different files on the users computer that really have no use and are difficult to find and clean once an update is released. For most users, this is not a serious problem, as many will probably never update the software, and most will probably only go through a couple of updates. On my system, there are config files for every build of the application, and the same to a lesser extent will be true for my beta testers.
I can understand that MS wants to make sure that no two applications will use the same location for storing application data, but a simple [UserData] [CompanyName][ApplicationName] for storing application data will probably suffice for 99.9999 percent of the legitimate applications in the world. Bogging a user's system down with erroneous files, no matter how small, is an unnecessary drain on system resources and a potential source of problems for the user. It's bad enough that most programs leave bits and pieces of themselves all over a user's system after De-installation - this to me seems only to exaggerate this problem.
Is the only way to get around this problem to write a whole new Settings Class? Is there a way to change the location of the UserConfig file to a more friendly (and more predictable) location that I am not finding for myself? It would seem that having at least the OPTION to specify a location for the User.Config file would be OBVIOUS and easy to implement, so why did they leave this out?

Program conversion VB6 to VB2008 I have software which uses an ini file (this is necessary as sometimes the ini file needs editing). Normally you place the ini file with the exe.
How do I refer to the ini files location in VB2008 The readini has lines similar to this at the moment where I have set up the test ini file on the root of D:.
LOGOutput = ReadIni("D:MyProgram.ini", "Settings", "LOGOutput")
I'm assuming there is going to be a simple line which says
My.application.location.programname & ".ini") But I can't find it.So question is, How do I read and refer to my ini file which is located with my exe?
EDIT:It's just dawned on me, I am also going to have to get the installer to know about it and install it there??

I have 2 group box components and both are same size,font,location and visible is false. When i click button2, the groupbox1 won't appear(the group box2 is on bottom n group box1 is on top).
Example:
button1
groupbox1.visible=false
groupbox2.visible=true
button2
groupbox1.visible=true
groupbox2.visible=false
Because i want to show the different,so the location have a little different(actually both are same location). I think my code is no problem. The problem i guess is both component cannot locate at same location?

we have a user that my program works fine for.. and another that it just crashes for.. they get this error
"You cannot start application <App_Name> from this location because it is already installed from a different location."
then they run it up again and it comes up.. and then just closes..in reading some stuff online it says its a framework 2.0 sp 1 issue ?these pc's have 3.5, but my program uses all 2.0 stuff..so is this a 2.0 sp level issue ? or should I make my programs start to use framework 3.0 instead ?

I was using this old method of creating a bunch of rectangles when I need to get the location of a certain point within a grid so I could draw images on the grid. The thing is, I don't want to use rectangles, I want to be able to just round the location as if I were using rectangles. I need it to be able to round the point (66,70) to (50,50) so if you can imagine a grid and the mouse position being within that square in the grid, I need to get the location of the upper left corner of that square.
