I'm making a little webbrowser just for the heck of it, And i want to know if you can use a toolstrip for a bookmarks bar. I have it laid out, I just would need the code to make the buttons work.
View 1 RepliesI really want to make use of the toolstrip and databinding but these two technologies keep conflicting with each other. I think the root cause is something to with the fact that the toolstrip buttons don't recieve focus in the normal way.
I invite you to try the following:-
1. Create a form and put some text boxes a tool strip with a save button on it.
2. Write a query or sproc to get a datatable back and bind your text boxes to the field in the datatable.
3. In the code behind your Save ToolStripButton put some code that makes an arbitrary change to a field on the dataset (it doesn't matter whther this field is bound to a text box or not). eg:-
m_DataTable.Rows(0).Item("CommissionRatePerc") = "0.0000"
4. Put a breakpoint in the save and run the form.
5. Make some changes in the text boxes. Do not leave the last text box but rather click save while a text box whose contents you have edited still has focus.
6. When your code hits the breakpoint, query the value of the data table field that is bound to the text box you were editing when you clicked save - it will still contain the unedited value. Unless you do something about it that unedited value is going to get saved back to your DB.
We did get around this problem by explicetely setting the focus to another control on the form before saving. That worked most of the time because it prompts the text box to flush it's value back to the datatable (nb EndEdit does not work, although you'd have expected it to). However, and this is the reason I suggested you add a line of code that changed a value in the underlying datatable in step 3, if you change a value in code in this way before the value from the text box get's flushed back then it doesn't seem to matter what you do, the user's current edit is simply lost. They will still show in the text box, though, leading your user to believe that the change has been committed when it hasn't. Our final solution is that we never ever change a value in the adtaset in the code behind our toolstrip buttons. That's working but it's a pretty big restriction.
I made a webbrowser that stores it bookmarks in an xml file called "WebSites.xml". I want it to show the favicons of the bookmarks in the button(toolStripSplitButton1) in which they are located but the code doesn't work
Friend Sub AddToolStripButtons()
xmldoc.Load(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "" & "WebSites.xml")
ToolStripSplitButton1.DropDownItems.Clear()

I can not get this to work. Loads of errors.[url]...

I made a browser in VB and am trying to get a bookmarks bar, like the ones under the address bar in Google Chrome, Firefox, and IE.I have two listboxes, one with the same text as the button added and another with the url the code should make the listboxes select the same indexed item, and when you click on the button, it finds the same index number in listbox1 which contains the button's text, finds the matching url in listbox2, and goes to it however, I have a problem: when using addhandler for a newly added button, if I extract the text of the current function, it gives me the same text as the handler I'm getting it from its really confusing but basically how can I get the name of the button that was just clicked? the buttons aren't preset (like the user adds them when he/she needs to) so i cant use "button1_click..... button1.text...button2_click.... button2.text"

View 4 RepliesI have read other threads on this topic, but I still can't get this to work in VB 2010 Express. I am using 2 PC's, one with Windows7 32 bit and the other with Windows7 64 bit. On both machines the Bookmark icons are not in the toolbar. Using shortcut keys such as CTRL-kk works but I would prefer to use the icons.
I have 'Expert Settings' enabled and the 'Text Editor' toolbar is visible, but there are no bookmark icons in the Text Editer toolbar. Apparently other people have got this to work in the Express version.
When I am in the Visual Basic Express 2010 IDE I can search for an item using CNTR F. If I select "Book Mark All" in the CNTR F window a blue square will appear on the left hand side of the code viewer ex. Form1.vb*. Can someone tell me how to remove these bookmarks, and,also how can I add a bookmark manually for a line of code (perhaps there is a keyboard short cut). Please see the Jpeg attachment of my screen. (this was moved from The General Forum). I found the answer, if others need to know add the TEXT tool bar to the IDE and see the second JPEG below.

My latest VB.NET project has been making a webbrowser. I now want to expand it's functionalities and create a bookmarking system. Would making a folder somewhere and storing files in it as the bookmarks be the best way to do it? Could someone also provide or teach me a way to use a 'for' loop to add all the bookmarks into a menu.
View 14 RepliesI've been trying to make a browser for a while now, and I still can't figure out how to make favorites or history. Well for history i can get to where it lists but it won't save, so when I close it erases it. I don't care which method, i just want to know one working way. So if you guys could help me with making history and favorites that would be great!
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to make the code from HTML url...I have in a listview with some pdf filenames..each of these pdf's have bookmarks to other pdf files.I managed to get the code to export the bookmarks and load them into the listview..but only the first listing seems to be working. when it gets to the second listing,, when it gets to the exportbookmarkstoxml function..it hits the catch from then on..i've tried several different things and none of them seem to be working..the code i have is somewhat messy because i been messin' with it,,but i'll try and tidy up as much as possible for ya.I'm thinking that something between the using statement needs to be closed or something but i can't get it to come even close..i even tried closing the reader with reader.close and then deleting the outputxml and then making the file again but that isn't working either.

View 1 RepliesI am having trouble with automatically filling a table in word from a asp.net app - i use bookmarks in the next top row to determine what data should be inserted into the columns of my tables. However, i am having trouble in getting the individual cells bookmarks and get all the bookmarks from the row instead. This is fine if i have one bookmark in each column as i can use the 3rd bookark and assume that is from the 3rd column, but if i were to have 2 bookmarks in one column, how would i know which column it was that contained the 2 bookmarks?Here is my code that returns all bookmarks for the row even though i am selecting a single cell; and therefore using bookmarks(1) - always the same bookmark(the one in the leftmost

I'm trying to develop a Mail Merge using Bookmarks in a word template (1 page doc). It works ok for the 1st record from a datatable (source of data for bookmarks), and then just piles the other records into the same bookmarks. After the 1st insertion I need the code to goto the end of the doc, insert a page break and append a fresh copy of the template for the next insertion. The mail merge could have many 1 page letters in it.
strTemplateDir = Trim(txtDocument.Text)
wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wrdApp.documents.add(strTemplateDir) 'open new word doc based on template
'make it the active doc

I created a simple program that uses a saved word document (letter, and contracts) as a template to create other documents with information from my text boxes (from my VB application) which replaces my bookmark information with the new info (firstName, lastName, address, notes, etc.). This is what I currently use for the call statements to update the bookmarks[code]...
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to use a menustrip to control the 'bookmarks' function of my webbrowser.
The idea being, when the user opens form2 to add a new bookmark, he enters the url and name they want associated with the bookmark and then when they click the "save" button, it will add a new toolmenustripitem to the menustrip in form1, that, when clicked, will take the webbrowser in the currently selected tab to the url they specified in form2 the adding of the toolstripmenuitem was simple under the save_click event:
Code:
Dim bookmrk As New ToolStripMenuItem
bookmrk.Text = TextBox1.Text
bookmrk.Name = "bkmrk"

I am working on a project which will include automatically filling out some templates.I plan to use word bookmarks to create the templates and then fill them in via VB.This would be no problem, but the problem is that I would like to allow other templates to be used.Is there a way I can open a word document and get all the bookmarks out of it?I need a list, so I can determine which ones I am able to fill out,then send the correct values.Here is the code I am working with if you need a refresher.
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Dim oWord As Word.Application
Dim oDoc As Word.Document[code]....
Basically, I just want to make sure that "full_name" exists in a document before I try to add a value to it, so I need a list of bookmarks in the document.

View 5 Repliesi have posted here a few times on various issues and found all the help given was substantial to get the problem resolved, im working on a tabbed webbrowser and im currently adding a bookmarks feature, i am verry new to coding and require some simple i have a menu item "bookmark" and the options of that item are dropdown items "bookmark this page" "Edit bookmarks" "add custom bookmark"Codes for them are below:

the problem is when i click "bookmark this page" or any of the options within that bookmark menu it navigates the page to a search page and searches for "bookmark this page" then adds that search page as the bookmark :-S so really the bookmark thing is working but its bookmarking the wrong thing.but i cant find anywhere to fix this, im wondering if someone was willing to help me, im thinking the easyest way is to give someone my whole solution and files ect and that way evrything is there and can be looked in to
i also have some other problems that dont really bother me at the moment like history not showing unless u type something into the address bar but as a i said thats small and i havent even attempted a fix on it, so if i cant work it out ill come back .

View 28 RepliesInstead of creating a listbox to hold the names of one's favorites, I've made it so when you add a bookmark it adds it under the directory (yourusername)/bookmarks. (yourusername) is represented by login.usernametextbox.text. Now I've added a filelistbox to the form and want it to display the contents of the bookmarks folder only without the file name extensions. Just the title. Then when a user clicks on the title it navigates to that specified file by opening a new instance of a browser form. Here's what I have so far:
Private Sub Bookmarks_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
bmarks.Path = Login.UsernameTextBox.Text + "ookmarks"

I am developing an application in VB2008. I initially starting using Office 2003. But later found out that I need to develop it using Office 2000 automation instead.
The problem is when I developed it using Office 2003 I was able to reference the bookmarks by name like this:
Code:
Dim data As New DataObject
data.SetData(DataFormats.Rtf, pubrtfContent)
Clipboard.Clear()
[Code]....
Why would just changing the references in the application cause the bookmarks to be referenced by numeric value only, instead of name? And how I can I get the bookmarks to be able to be referenced by name in Office 2000? Obviously I am doing something wrong, but can't figure out what.
Btw, when I try and reference a bookmark with the name in with the Office 2000 references I get this error: Conversion from string "Judgement" to type 'Integer' is not valid.
I was just wondering if it was possible to create a code so that when you drag the favicon on another textbox that textbox's text could be the URL of your navigation textbox (aka the url you are on right now) Like a kind of bookmarks toolbar like firefox.
