VS 2008 ComboBox Programming?
Sep 24, 2010
I am not sure if this is the right area but I am new to Visual Basic and what I am trying to accomplish is creating a combobox in visual basic 2008. I have made the box and put in the list i needed but programming it to what I am needing is not working right. What I am looking for is the proper code when selecting an item in the dropdown and clicking next it will run an application (most are going to be .bat files). Like if I select Admin Batch in the list and hit next it will run admin.bat or if I select Printer Install then click next it will run printerinstall.bat.

I am using Visual Basic 2008 and currently having a coding problems. I have coded a simple game in which I have energy that I can upgrade by 1 point on each click of a button. And so, when i start my program, it always loops this same coding without the need of another click on the button. It keeps looping until it gets to 999 then it stops sending the messagebox and lets me continue using my program. This is an (.exe) execution file programming.
Coding :
Private
Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

The Calendar control (the Month Calendar) control in VB 2008. I am creating an attendance timesheet and I want the Calendar to color each date differently like e.g An employee Paul is selected from a list.
On the calendar I select the month. (The dates are not supposed to be selectable). Then lets say it is June. He is late on the 1st and the Second, so those days are supposed to be colored red (the whole block). Let's also say he is absent on the fourth and so I want that date to be coloured black. How do I do this? I tried finding a query and my friend told me that this functionality is not available in the current control and that I was best off making my own control (???).
I have tried selecting specific dates and bolding them (there is a function that allows this) but I am stumped trying to find two different ways to differentiate colours. Second:- How do I link a calendar with an Access Database?

Iam developing a Windows application using Visual Basic 2008 with a SQL Server database. Throughout the program I give the user as many options as possible and have no problem with either the database or the windows forms. The program does not initially require a Login and I want toprovide the User with the opportunity to add a Login to the system. The default Login form is perfectly satisfactory.
The problem is that I can't figure out how to program the change sothat the Login from isopens the program rather then th form designated as the StartUp form. this forum I am able to prgrammatically change the form but I can't figure out how to make the requirement a permanent factor. I tried using a Constant, but if the User wants to change, you can't change the constant. Its an apparantly simple yes/no situation but if I set a varable to yes and then change it to no the next time the program runs, the change will be lost.

I avidly create games in VB.net. Being a hobby programmer I give my games away for free. Since I'm a hobbiest without formal training I do try and educate myself on proper programming principles and follow them when programming such as OOP. There are however some things I have obviously missed being self-taught that perhaps I would know if I were formally educated. Once such issue that has really been my bane is how different classes (from now on referred to as objects) 'know' about each other WITHOUT programming specific interaction.
Okay imagine this, you have a space game and the following objects
[CODE]...............
Now each one of these objects has a Health, X,Y and Z private members and properties that are all inherited from clsSpaceEntity for argument sake. Now one way of programming collision between them would be to code out the following logic in the main game loop
[CODE].........................
Now this might seam okay if your talking about the simple example above but some of my games have tens or even HUNDREDS of objects that interact in this basic way. Is there a way in OOP to do the following... for each thing that inherits from clsSpaceEntity check against every other object that inherits this type (except itself) and if they collide then reduce health next? This sort of ability for a type of objects/class or whatever to be 'aware' of another and how they are the same/different and interact would save me tonnes and tonnes and TONNES of coding.

I have a drop-down ComboBox, where the values are a range of indexes, followed by a key value. So one line looks like:01 : 01010101010101010202020202020202
I have set the ComboBox up so that on the form, only "01 :" is displayed, but the DropDownWidth allows the entire string to be seen when the dropdown arrow is clicked.However, once that is done, I am left with "0202" (the last four characters) showing in the ComboBox, rather than "01 :" until the control loses focus. How can I force "01 :" to display?

I'm new to VB and as every beginner i've begun with a browser, i've added a combobox that records the current url of the website and adds it to a "history" combo box, the problem is that when i go on a site once, the site name shows up multiple times in the combobox. I was wondering if there is a code to only add a certain value only once,
